An old-fashioned fairy tale. I thought you would end it very abruptly but you didn't. I like most that they celebrate together on the stairways after all those years but I do wonder how the Prince's father would have reacted if the king of the neighbouring country had given his son death penalty.
I like your speculation about what would have happened if the prince had been sentenced to death. This would have had very tragic consequences. As a result, the princess would have either gone into a prolonged grief and gone mad, or would have taken her own life as she had warned. And on the other hand, the king of the neighboring kingdom, even though it is a small country, would have fought a war with Dreamland and many innocent soldiers and some princes of Dreamland would have died in this war. I don't like such stories with horrible endings or sad endings at all. And I hate the horrors of war.
