I knew that the Hunter truly loved the Vampiress. Not the Countess she became but who she was once he learned she was more than the tyrant that ran his homeland. But she had to be removed from power for everyone's sake including her own.
@mesner5x4 жыл бұрын
Panther Hardraag Though painful, the hunter’s betraying her actually ended up being a good thing. I can imagine the hunter was tormented for 10 years with that decision, having to betray someone who loved them. They probably expected her to return vengefully, to end them or to enslave them again. But she returned in peace, the ice now melted from her heart and she returned out of love instead of hate. And in this reunion they silently forgave one another. This was an amazing story.

A perfect epilogue! It actually ties in well with the ending and justifies the hunter’s decision more. It hurt them to betray a woman who loved them just as much as they hurt her. Though dethroning the countess benefited her more. Her cruel nature mellowed and her cold heart thawed, the only thing left she desired was the hunter. It’d be amazing to see more of these two characters but this has been one of the best stories I’ve listened to!

This hunter fairly carved out his own heart at the end of the series when he attempted to do his duty. Afterward, he closed the book on the hunter chapter of his life and moved on, never imagining that the Countess would forgive him, let alone still desire him and seek him out. This epilogue was more than I ever hoped for! Thank you so, so much!! I was content with the way you ended the story, but this was a very special treat!

I looked at my former love and I spoke sincerely: "Duty is the death of love. Those were the words that my trainer said me when I was 15 or 16, I can't remember. Yes, I went to the castle with the intentions of seducing you and let you lower your guard to start an uprising. And everything went according to my plan except for one thing. I did never expected to fall in love with you for real. I don't know when I started to see you not as a monster, but as a woman. I started to have doubts. And when that faithful day came, I didn't want to. I had my duty and my love for you, Stephanie. But even though I loved you, I couldn't let my personal feelings cloud the truth: you needed to be dethroned so everything improves. So I stabbed you un the back at the same time that another knife tresspassed my heart. I forced myself to fight you, but I couldn't bring myself to end your life. I want you to know I'm truly sorry. " I'm so happy the Hunter and Evelyn had their happy ending.

@jedidragonking50705 жыл бұрын
I love a happy ending. Hopefully the shedding of her former self in favor of who she truly was as a human (symbolized by the reveal of her true name, Evelyn) is a sign that the countess has changed for the better. I can see their future now. Her true name used as a disguise while her and the hunter fight monsters together, the Countess protecting her former kingdom in a way that she never could nor desired when she truly ruled over it. And if the witches and werewolves find out, the hunter launches into a passionate speech about how she has changed and the good that she has enacted. If this saves her, then they marry, and produce children. Many years later, the aged hunter and his still beautiful wife tell the story of how they met and how they lived to their children and grandchildren as they are gathered around the hearth of a much larger abode. When the hunter dies, the Countess retreats into hiding, watching over her scions as they take up the role of half-human, half-vampire hunters, perhaps forming a school at either their new ancestral home or the Blue Rose Castle, to train successive generations of hunters as defenders of the realm, guarding the kingdom against those who would take it for themselves. Quite a legacy, wouldn't you say, my lady? What started as an adversarial match made in hell thence evolved into a love match made in heaven, and could result in something far greater then the two of them alone. Also that kiss was pretty hot 😍. Love a good human-vampire romance, especially if the vampire is a woman.

Time makes the heart grow fonder 🧡 she had to change back into a more human mind and lose most of her cruelty. Growth takes time. She could only hope the Hunter was still thinking of her, let alone still loved her, after everything she did to them and others. If she wouldn't have waited and made that change, the Hunter probably would not have killed her, but wouldn't have proceeded like here. There's a reason she didn't approach sooner when she had opportunities too :)

Recently relistened to the epilogue. I enjoyed this series when it was released. Part of me wonders if she will ever do a type of role reversal. Her being a huntress and us the vampire she hunts. The two enjoying the "game" they play, possibly trying to hide the feelings they are gaining for one another. Them both "conviniently" Unable to kill one another. Us possibly saving our hunter from a vampire who was about to kill them. Another series could involve a werewolf falling in love with a villager or hunter & visa versa. The wolf protecting their possible future mate from another of their pack.
