The Reincarnated Royalty

Chapter - 63

Days passed by and Emperor Theron finally got married to the girl he loved the most. Everything took a turn for the good. It was now time for the new generation to rule. But among all this happiness, something did not go right. Julia became really sick and her condition was getting worse every passing day.

For the past 23 years, she has been writing a book "The Tale of the Five Great Nations of Royalty". She wanted to write down everything that happened to all the rulers of those kingdoms. She was lying on her bed and was about to write the last line of the book but suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her chest and the pen fell down from her hands. 

The medic and the maids quickly rushed to her to check on her. She checked for her pulse and gasped in shock. "We have to hurry! It's a cardiac arrest!" She gathered all the other maids and quickly began operating on Julia.

Theron was in the throne hall, addressing the court but just as he heard about Julia, he left everything and came rushing inside. "Mother!" He was about to go inside her room but the guards stopped him. "We are sorry, Your Majesty but the medic has forbidden anyone to come inside." They said to him and he took a few steps back. His heart was racing and he felt like dying.

He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to see Luna who was on the verge of tears. "Don't worry, everything will be fine." She tried to assure him but she herself was very tense. "I cannot afford to lose her...she is...my only guardian." Theron said in a low voice, swallowing his tears.

They both were talking outside, trying to calm each other when they heard the door of Julia's room open. They immediately went to the medic who was standing there. "Is mother ok?" Theron anxiously asked her. "She wants to see you both." The medic said while looking down and went from there.

Both of them went inside the room and saw Julia weakly lying on her bed. Her face was pale and she was taking long and deep breaths. She looked at them and smiled a little. They both quietly went and sat on the ground at one side of the bed.

Theron softly held her hand and brought it near to his forehead. "I'm glad you are fine..." Tears were glistening in his eyes. Julia held his hand tighter and looked at him with sad eyes. "Promise me Theron...you will take care of Luna, yourself, and this kingdom." She said to him. "Why are you saying things like this? You are not going to leave me, right? He looked at her with wide eyes. "I'm sorry, dear..." A tear left Julia's eyes.

"Please don't say such things." Luna broke down in tears. "You'll be a great empress, Luna. I believe in you." Julia said to her and her breaths quickened. "Please mother..." Theron was on the verge of breaking down as well. Julia brought her hand near Rose's necklace around Theron's neck. "Both of your mothers will always be here....and in your memories..." Julia began taking even deeper breaths.

Just then the door burst open and a girl entered inside. It was the niece of that astrologer. After she died, it was she who took her position. "Lady Julia!" She came rushing towards her. "Stella..." Julia softly smiled at her. She was freaked out and was in tears as well.

"How did you come here so suddenly?" Julia asked her. "I'm here to make one last prophecy...before you finally find...peace." She replied. "Go ahead." Julia said to her and she took a deep breath. Theron and Luna also looked at her in anticipation with dried tears on their faces.

"According to my prophecy, all the people that you mentioned in your book will take a rebirth to complete the picture of your destiny. It will be a full moon night and the source of their past memories will be Queen Rose's blue pendant."

"That's the perfect thing to hear...before dying." She smiled at Stella. She then looked at Theron and Luna. "I'm proud of you both." She slowly closed her eyes and took one last deep breath.

Everyone was looking at Julia as she was the only one who was still unconscious. Suddenly she opened her eyes and the first thing she did was take a look around at all those books in that room. "Julia, I know you love books but at least say hi to us..." Lucy sighed.

"Found it!" Julia exclaimed and everyone went to her. She was holding the same book that she wrote in the past. She opened it and began reading a few lines to confirm it. "How are you able to read this? It's not even in our language." Theo asked her. "Because I was the one who wrote it." She replied and a tint of happiness was visible in her voice.

"Will you just tell me what's going on?" Jake went towards Max. "Yes, it has been so long since you are just asking us to keep quiet. Now tell us what's this all about? Why did we see that not-so-dreamy dream?" Melanie also stepped closer. "A nightmare." James corrected her.

"Lady Julia might be able to understand me better." Max spoke up. "Lady? We are not in the past anymore!" Kylie was frustrated. Julia just took that book with her and came towards Max. "Who are you?" She asked him. Max bent down on one knee and kept his hand on his chest bowing to her. She was taken aback by this and was a bit embarrassed as well. "Emperor Theron ordered everyone to protect this book and that necklace forever. One group was specially made for the protection of these items." He started speaking.

"I am one of the descendants of that group and finally our task is completed. We have been waiting for hundreds of years just for all of you to take birth in the same timeline. The reason why I did not stop any of you from entering this room was because that was the reason why I brought you here in the first place." He completed and stood back up.

"Does that mean the second reason about which you were talking about was to let us recall our past life?" Theo asked him and he nodded in response.

"The authorities are planning to start converting this castle into a museum. They will begin their work by next week. This is one of the reasons why we visited here today."
"What is the other reason?"
"You will get to know it soon."

"Does that also mean everything we saw was true? It actually happened?" Lucy asked him with a worried look on her face. "Yes. It was all the truth. The true history of the Five Great Nations of Royalty." Max replied to them. 

It was all silent for a while until Jake suddenly exclaimed. "What?! Does that mean I actually kissed this nerd!?" He shouted with wide eyes while pointing at Julia. "What do you mean by nerd?! You were willing to die for me!!" Julia yelled back. "This overdramatic b*tch married the person she hates!!" Now he pointed at Lucy. "Hey dude, shut up now. You are crossing the limits!" Kevin stepped forward. 

Amid all the chaos, Sky was still holding Claire's hand without even realizing it, Melanie and Ray were still looking at each other with those same teary eyes, Rose and Theo were so shy to even take a glance at each other now and James and Kylie were once again trying to resolve their fight while feeling some spark among themselves too.

Jasmine was standing a bit far away when she felt someone behind her. "Are they always this chaotic? Max asked her. "Yeah. It's a habit now." She replied to him while looking in the front, smiling a little. "I want to know more." She said. "About the past?" Max asked her. "No...about you." She turned around and looked at him who had a slight blush on his cheeks. 

"I wish the fights in the past would have been...harmless like this..." Julia said making all of them abruptly shut their mouths and a sad look taking place on their faces. "It was all because of me. Only if I was not being a jerk back then..." Kevin felt as if a mountain of guilt had dropped on him. He looked down but then felt himself getting trapped in a hug. He looked up to see Jake hugging him and his eyes went wide along with the rest others as well. 

"Let's just forget about the past and start a new chapter in our lives...a peaceful one..." He said and everyone nodded with small smiles on their faces. They all were feeling relieved when they heard flashes only to see Ray taking pictures of both of them hugging from different angles. "Oh my god! This is peak enemies to Lovers!" He smiled widely only to receive a punch right in the face from Jake making everyone sigh.

"Somethings....never change...."
