After Lucien's death, the town was silent—not because Lucien's death made them sad, but because they were remembering him.
Olivia started crying. She said, "He was my brother after all."
Michael hugged her and said, "Don't worry. I am here for you."
Olivia burst into tears.
All the people started shouting,
"THANK YOU, LUCIEN DRAVEN!"
Michael thought,
"Whatever you were, I enjoyed being with you. Thank you."
All the people listened to Lucien's speeches and understood what he meant. They understood his ideology and what he had always meant. They knew he had something wrong with his way of thinking, but they still admired parts of his philosophy.
Michael held Lucien's body after removing Regicide from his heart as they started taking his body to the burial place.
Michael said,
"No."
He asked the entire town to construct a huge tomb.
As the tomb was built in the middle of the city, they placed Lucien's body inside and sealed it.
Michael placed Lucien's sword beside his tomb.
Now, whenever someone looked at him, they had to look above, because that's where he was.
Michael was heavily injured as he hugged Olivia.
Olivia kissed Michael on the lips.
The kiss meant thank you and showed her love for him after everything that had happened over the last few days.
Olivia said,
"I love you, Mike."
Michael replied,
"I always loved you."
But Michael knew he didn't have much time because only two weeks were left until the Black Meeting, and Crimson Oath had fallen. That meant people from the other crews would come here to investigate what had happened.
Michael said,
"CRIMSON OATH NEEDS A LEADER!"
The civilians suggested either Olivia or Michael.
But they both refused.
Olivia said,
"I am going with Michael, and I will marry him."
Michael said,
"I am not from Crimson Oath. I was a spy sent by Ikiro Sanim to infiltrate this place and find out what was happening. I saved all of you from Lucien."
The townspeople replied,
"We are glad you came."
"YOU ARE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED HERE!"
The town formed a committee and held elections. After electing a new leader, they began rebuilding Crimson Reach, but the town's name was changed to Lucien Reach.
After many suggestions from the people, Olivia and Michael decided to get married in Lucien Reach.
Day of the Marriage
As Olivia walked down the aisle with the leader of Lucien Reach, since she no longer had a father or brother, everyone watched in silence.
Michael stepped forward and accepted her as his wife.
She accepted him as her husband.
They kissed, and their marriage was confirmed.
At Night
Olivia said,
"I LOVE YOU, MIKE!!"
Michael smiled.
"Yeah, Olivia. Same here."
(They spend the night together.)
Later
Michael still had one great confusion.
How had Olivia used Regicide?
It was a sword that could not be used by anyone other than the Valrics.
Olivia said,
"I don't know. I was never told anything about all of this."
Michael was still going through major changes in his body. The Purple Emperor's powers felt strange to him, and he was having trouble balancing them with Regicide.
Knock. Knock.
Someone was knocking on the door.
Who could it be?
The door opened.
Uncle Sam.
Michael asked,
"Who is this, Olivia?"
"It's Uncle Sam... Lucien's teacher."
Michael frowned.
"Why are you here?"
Uncle Sam looked at both of them.
"I have to talk to both of you... about Lucien."
