King Dolor Handing the Kingship to the Prince Regent

At the end of the story, the Prince, now King Dolor, hands his Kingdom off to the Prince Regent.

"'Yes, I must go. It is time for me to go. Remember me sometimes, my people, for I have loved you well. And I am going a long way, and I do not think I shall come back any more." He drew a little bundle out of his breast pocket—a bundle that nobody had ever seen before" (Mulock).

King Dolor takes out his travelling cloak after many years and again floats in the air, just as he did many years ago.
