The Blue Midnight
By: Mutitoon90
IX: The Promise is Fulfilled.
After the Grand Duke was arrested and taken to the castle's dungeon, Sly and the Midnight Bandits told Carmelita, High Lord Fox, and Holly their plan. Holly knew about the plan, but she liked hearing about the plan.
Sly was to disguise himself as a guard, while Murry and Bentley waited outside of the castle. After the wedding party left, Sly would steal Carmelita, while Murry and Bentley was chased by the High Lord's men. But, Sly knew of Luno's wily nature and allowed Holly out of bed long enough to help out with the plan. Murry and Bentley was to lead the men to the inn after a long chase to expose Luno for he was.
"But one thing still puzzles me." Sly admitted.
"How Carmelita learned how to swordplay?" High Lord Fox asked the nobleman.
"Yes." Sly said, confused.
"Why else would a sailor's daughter be the hand maiden of the High Lord's daughter?" Holly grinned mischievously.
Sly was dumbstruck by the reason, but was impressed as well.
Weeks has past since High Lord Fox arrested Draco Luno. The Grand Duke was tried by the King and convicted of murder and attempted murder. He was executed a week later by means of being beheaded. The people rejoined as they heard of the death of Luno.
A few weeks after the execution of Luno, Carmelita was in a coach when she saw something she had hoped to see ever since she was a child.
"The sea!" Carmelita exclaimed in excitement.
"It's beautiful this time of the year." Sly admitted.
"I'm just so happy about this!" The noblewoman said, looking at the golden wedding band on her finger.
"I'm glad you're happy as well." The raccoon said before he kissed his wife on the forehead.
"I hope that is not the last time I heard that."
"And I hope that is not the last I say it as well."
They started kissing when they heard knocking on the coach.
"Who?" Carmelita asked as Sly opened the window.
Holly, wearing Sly's old Midnight Bandit outfit, was seen on horseback, keeping pace with the coach.
"Hello." The cat greeted.
"Holly!" Carmelita exclaimed in worry.
"Hello, Holly." Sly greeted.
"Here's a gift!" The cat yelled.
Holly threw the box that was under her arm to Sly. Then, Holly backed the horse to slow down as the coach drove to the castle by the sea.
"What is it?" Carmelita asked.
"Let's found out." Sly suggested.
The two opened the present and found a beautiful red rose.
"It's beautiful." The fox exclaimed softly.
"Like the one I gave you." The raccoon said.
Then, Carmelita pulled out a book and opened it, revealing a pressed rose.
"Is that…?" Sly asked.
"Yes." Carmelita said, "It's the rose you gave me when we first met."
"The seed of our love." The raccoon said sweetly.
The fox placed the rose that Holly gave her into the book.
"Holly's rose will be the seed of our new life." Carmelita stated.
"That's good to hear." Sly said before he kissed his wife.
High Lord Fox became very rich from the union of the lands and retired happily. High Lord Cooper appointed Holly the new 'Blue Midnight' for her courage and loyalty. Carmelita and Sly lived very many happy years together, helping the people whenever they could for the rest of their lives.
