The reason I ended like this

I ended the story with the tiger killing him.The reason why I ended like this is because the princess loved him so much ,so, she would not bear to part with him. If she allowed him to live, he would need to marry a woman that is not the princess,but the person she hated the most.In her point of view, she would think that her lover will not want to part with her as he loved her so much,and he too would not want to marry another person, let alone the person she hated the most.So, in order not to let her lover marry another woman, the only option is for her lover to die.

There is another problem,how could the princess bear to see her lover die and also see her lover part with her?In order to solve this problem,I wrote that the princess commited suicide quickly after her lover died, in order to "see" her lover "revive" again in the afterlife and through this method, she could be with her lover forever in the afterlife as well.

I made the ending of the story like this as I had seen many stories of chinese swordman that died like this,so,I wanted to apply this idea on a western story.I wrote like that also to show that the princess's thinking is like a young girl that needed to part with her lover and so, both of them committed suicide,same as those chines drama on swordsman.
