Diary of a Reborn Queen

Entry 29

17th August, XXXX

After the talk under the star, Sebastian is back to the usual Sebastian. 

By usual, I do not mean the following me around part. 

He followed me when I was out browsing the market. He followed me into the book shop. He followed me into a boutique. Finally when he wished to follow me when I went to a friend's tiny tea party, I had had enough.

"Your majesty, don't you have to work?"

He shrugged again, like country matters were no big deal. 

"Don't shrug at me! You were a workaholic back then! What has happened? I am so worried about Arerin whenever you appear in front of me! I don't want to be the bad witch who leads Arerin to downfall because the King is chasing after me!"

A spark appeared in his eyes. A teasing smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"I am chasing after you. That's a fact."

"Sebastian, I am really worried about Arerin. In this past year, I am sure you're not in Arerin for more than half a year!"

Sebastian gave me a quick tap on my forehead and a teasing smile. 

"The matters I have to deal with are completely the same as our previous life."

So... he already knew the solutions to everything. That's why he had so many spare time. 

"Anyway, don't follow me everywhere!"

"I did not spend enough time with you in the past."

I widened my eyes in surprise. So that's why he was following me around. A bitter smile appeared on my face. 

"But it's too late now."

I turned and walked away. But he was still following me. 

"Sebastian, I am going to Lady Beatrice's home. For a tea party. Boys not invited."

"I know."

"Then why are you still..." Sebastian grabbed me and pushed me back behind him.

A sword pierced through his body. Then Sebastian coughed out blood. 

I froze. 

That's not happening. Where were the guards?

I looked up and saw Lucien and Felicity being surrounded by Sebastian's royal guards. Why were they still here? Why couldn't the guards discover them before it's too late?

"Sebastian, it's all because of you! You made Felicity lost most of her power. You made me enemy of every country. But guess what? The gods still love me! Felicity still retains a tiny part of power! We escaped from Edehan's guards and the first thing we did was to kill you. Are you honored? Sneaking up undetected is nothing with Felicity's power!" Lucien shouted and laughed frantically.

I ignored the crazy prince. 

"Capture them with power suppressing shackles! Feed them Black Prison until every single drop of their power has been removed from them!" I commanded. I was shaking with anger, with fear, with desperation.

"Yes, your majesty!" They shouted. 

Sebastian leaned onto me. My hand wet with his blood. 

"Sebastian. Sebastian!" 

A small smile tugged at his mouth. "Are you alright, Liana?"

Why are you still worrying about my safety, when you're the one drenched in blood? Why are you still smiling?
