CROWNS ACADEMY || A Royalty's Academia Book Series #1

෴VOLUME [42]෴

Rai's POV

After the Crowns fashion show we had our final year exams, the last exam at Crowns Academy. We were occupied and busy but when the week was finally over, we had something really exciting to attend.

Isn't everything in my life?

We were to attend Csan's brother's coronation in Egypt. We were at our usual hangout place in a restaurant at the Aura.

"I can't wait to go back to Egypt, it's so magical there." Sasha stated, bringing her palms to her chin in a dreamy look enhanced with a subtle smile.

"Yeah, I think we all know why." Tinku said, bringing all of us to a chuckle.

We later went to shop for clothes for the coronation. We were not just going there for a coronation, we were going there to create alliances, to ensure our kingdoms' safety in the future.

Egypt was just like I remembered.

From the moment we stepped off the royal jet onto the desert runway, it felt like the air itself shimmered with history. The horizon stretched endlessly, the sun kissing the sandstone palaces and distant glass pyramids with a honeyed glow. And as always, we traveled in style—flanked by motorcades, camera flashes, and royal fanfare.

"Your highness, will you be the next king of France alongside princess Sasha?"

"Your highness, are you planning to quit modeling once you step into your reign alongside Prince Liam?"

After doing a few interviews, we finally got into the royal limos and we were off to the Egyptian castle.

"There you are my sweetie pie" Exclaimed the queen when she finally lay her eyes on Csan who ran and engulfed her in a hug like a little boy.

"Someone is still a mama's boy." Lex teased making us all giggle as we curtsied to the queen.

"He's such a free spirit what do you expect." Said Sasha as we all shook hands with the king and queen.

We were shown to our rooms for the night.

Just like last year.

Just after I got into my comfy pajamas, I heard my door creek. Of course it was him.

"Hello stargazer, want some deja vu?
He asked, making his way in.

"Oh I would never say no to that." I replied as he lifted my up bridal style making his way towards my door.

Soon enough we were standing on the Nile bridge under the moonlight where we first kissed. Though this time we were not chased by some crazy reporters.

I savored the moment, my memories shooting back to the previous year where it all began. It felt so different yet so familiar. A wave of emotions swept over me; joy, gratitude, hope, love and others I simply cannot describe.

Never in a million years did I ever think that I would attend the most prestigious school in the Amaris let alone hang with the royals and fall in love with one of them. My life was different but it changed in a heartbeat and I would not want it any different.

Life can throw many things at us, the good, the bad, the ugly. But it's how we react that really determines our future because whether we react good or bad time will still go on for we are here just for a season and a reason. So I was choosing to react well. To appreciate the good, to savor every moment, to live life.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked looking into my eyes as though he was trying to read my thoughts.

I quietly pulled him close, my chest against his, my arms around him as we hugged. We could hear each other's heartbeats and I hoped he could hear what mind was saying.
