Diary of a Reborn Queen

Entry 29

Tears dropped. There must be a way to save him.

"Stop smiling! Healers! Are there healers?"

"We have sent guards to find healers," Captain of Sebastian's royal guards said. 

"The sword pierced close to my heart, Liana," Sebastian said calmly, but very apparently he was getting weaker.

"Why are you still so calm! You're about to die!"

If only I was not so pre-occupied at that time. If only I had spotted Lucien and Felicity, then I could have saved Sebastian. 

Tears continued to drop.

Time... 

Sebastian...

"Reverse the time! Reverse it back to before everything has happened! Why didn't you do that at the time of the assassination!"

"I ... I can only... reverse time back for 3 seconds." Sebastian looked more and more pale. More blood dripped out at the corner of his mouth. 

"But... you're lying. It's not funny. Then how come we came back in time? Stop playing Sebastian, it's not funny! Reverse the time! I... I... You can't die."

"That can only be done once. After... after that to protect the balance of this world... my power greatly reduced, just like yours. It's a miracle." With effort, he raised his hand and touched my face gently. "Not one of my ancestors could bring anyone back through time...Not a single one."

Sebastian's voice was getting weaker. 

"Don't sleep! You promised me you'd spend time with me! You can't leave! If you do, you're... you're betraying... my trust once again." 

Tears continued to drop.

"Do... do you hate me?"

Tears dropped on his hand. One... two... three...

"I... I don't hate you."

"I wish you would hate me. If... you cannot love me... hate me at least." A tiny smile. "Be happy, Liana."

"How can anyone be happy while hating someone! If you want me to be happy, don't die! I don't want to hate you... I don't want to..."

There must be ways. Where are the healers? There must be ways. 

Tears dropped. One, two, three...

A miracle... I went back in time as well... I lost part of my power as well...

Time is like a river. If you think of it that way can I manipulate it like water? 

"Sebastian... just... try one last time. Let's reverse time, just for 3 minutes. Please. For me, try one last time. You can't betray me again. I can't handle that."

With an indulging smile, he took hold of my hand. I squeezed my eyes shut and imagine pushing water back. A technique I have mastered since I was four. 

When I opened my eyes, the two of us were standing on the pavement. Just like 3 minutes ago, before everything had happened. I started to cough.

Sebastian rushed forward and took out his sword. Within seconds, the Lucien who planned for a surprise attack was lying on the floor. Felicity once again seemed to be drifting in a dream like state. 

When everything was under control, Sebastian turned and looked at me meaningfully. He seemed to be waiting for something. What? 

He walked towards me and helped to soothe my coughing. He then whispered in my ears, "Your command, my Queen?"

"What..."

"Weren't you giving commands like a Queen just now? Only the King and the Queen can order the royal guards around." A small smile hang on his face, like a devil giving out invitation.

So that's what "Your majesty' and his smile was about. 

As if I will step into this trap. I turned my head away from him and stomped away. 

"Don't follow me."

"You asked me not to break my promise. I am spending time with you."

"When did I say that? I don't remember."

"As long as I remember, that's enough."

"I am going to a tea party. Boys not invited."

"They will, if you are king."

"That's cheating."

And the sun is shining, not a single drop of rain from the sky.
