THE WASTED QUEEN
Chapter 87 - Queen (Last)
'Crack!'
Returning to Lezarde, Calista was shocked as he looked back and saw Leonardo with an arrow stuck in his back.
Calista looked at Leonardo, and the man also looked at Calista. Even though he was silent, his eyes seemed to explain everything to Calista.
“Leon!”
“Leon, arrow on your back!”
“Calista, this is the last thing I can do for you.”
Leonardo immediately removed the arrow on his back and collapsed.
“Leon.”
The arrow was smeared with poison by Elena, but not just ordinary poison, this was a more deadly poison. Although Leonardo was resistant to poison, he could not survive the poison.
“Leon, Leon, come to your senses, Leon,” call Calista while patting the Emperor on the cheek.
Calista's feelings turned uncontrollable when he saw Leonardo like that. For the second time, Calista sees Leon save himself.
“Leon, please be aware.”
After realizing that her arrow hit the Emperor, Elena was delighted and again released an arrow towards Calista.
“Good, you came at the right time, Emperor.”
However, this time the arrow did not hit the Emperor at all. Selene appears and protects the two with a shield.
Selene's face was filled with anger as she looked at Elena with hatred.
Elena laughed to see Selene appear, then came out of hiding and approached Selene.
Now, it was not an arrow but a sword that Elena held in both hands.
“My brother, I came to keep my promise. How, do you like the surprise I gave you?”
“How dare you touch my people!” shout Selene.
“Elena, I never expected this from you!”
“I also never expected you to kill my family, Selene!”
“You killed my mother's father without mercy. Do you think I'll just shut up?”
Selene laughed, “I wouldn't have possibly killed for no reason. You speak as if you were a victim, Elena.”
“I put you in the same position as me, watching your parents' deaths in plain sight. Hows it? Happy, right?”
“But my father and mother still let you live and gave you a place in the palace!” scream Elena.
“So too, I let you live!”
“Elena, I never expected this from you. You're the one who started it, then I'll end it.”
Elena laughed,“Please if you can.”
The two engaged in a fierce fight, staring at each other with hatred, and the clinking of the sword sounded.
"I will avenge the death of my father and mother Selene!"
“I never do anything without cause, Elena.”
Trishan, Theodore, and Isabella arrived. They defeated the rebel forces. Trishan and Isabela watch the fight, while Theodore approaches Calista and Leonardo.
“Mother, what happened to dad?”
“Your father was hit by a poisoned arrow, Theo.”
“We should take him immediately after all this is over.”
Although Theodore was very worried, he still tried to remain calm. “Dad will definitely be safe, Mother, do not be afraid.”
‘Trang..!’
Elena's sword fell, and Selene used the opportunity to stab Elena with the same sword she used to kill her uncle. Selene also used that sword for Elena.
"For the rest of your life you'll regret Selene!" yell Elena
‘Track..!’
With a burning fury, Selene thrust her sword many times into Elena's body.
“Selene, enough! Don't let anger rule you!” shouted Calista who could not help but cry looking at this situation.
Selene threw her sword at just any place and turned around, her angry face turning into sorrow mixed with guilt and regret, red stains filling her body.
“I am a sinful person, do not approach me, Trishan,” Selene said as she watched Trishan approach her.
...****************...
In Axios, even though Aaron got a stab wound from Anastasia, he was still able to fight and kill Anastasia easily. Although the rebel forces were defeated, Aaron was also heavily wounded in other parts.
What Aaron doesn't realize is that the knife Anastasia used to attack was covered in poison. Although Aaron can survive the wound, he cannot survive the poison.
Aaron felt his head getting heavier, but he was still trying to get out of the palace which started burning almost in every part.
As Aaron was about to get to the exit door, he felt his body getting sicker and his legs unable to step again. He collapsed on the ground, and realized that his age would not be long. Amidst the flames, he stared out.
Freya who came while looking at Viona, wanted to help the emperor. The moment the eyes of the two met, Aaron smiled towards Freya.
“I'm sorry, Freya.”
“I'm sorry," he said.
‘Shelf..!’
Suddenly the palace pillar fell and covered the entrance to the palace. Viona screamed hysterically at this.
“No, Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty!”
Viona sat down and lamented what happened. Freya did not believe what she saw.
There was such a heart-wrenching pain in his heart, along with the last smile Aaron gave him.
Freya could not help but cry, only a few days ago she met the Emperor, and Aaron only met his son once. Freya felt she could not accept that.
He could not believe that Aaron had gone away from them. He could only be silent, not believing the reality he had to face.
...****************...
A woman wearing a black dress looked at the two graves sadly in front of her. His face looked gloomy and full of sadness.
“It's been 14 years, and our children are now teenagers.”
“I never thought our story would end like this.”
“But don't worry, they grow well. Now, they are my happiness.”
Freya then placed a rose in the middle of the two graves. Aaron and Viona's names are on his headstone. Long Freya looked at her husband's grave until a woman and three children approached her with sad eyes.
The woman patted Freya on the shoulder. “Mother, let's go back, it's been a long time mom is here.”
Freya looked at Alexa, “I'm sorry mom, all right let's go back.”
“Mother, i, this, a, dad?” ask princess Freya.
“Yes, my daughter, this is the grave of your father and mother.”
But the daughter shook her head, “Mother, ha, just mom.”
Freya smiled and stroked her daughter's hair, “Yes, mother knows, but she is also your mother.”
Cecil confirms, “No, ha, ha, just, i, mom.”
“Cecil, don't be, mom teaches us not to hate anyone right?” cadee.
“So, always do well and do not hate anyone.”
Cecil's face turned sad, “I'm sorry, a, a, me, mom,” he said while hugging Freya.
Yes, Cecil is Viona's daughter. She was born a few days after Freya became queen. The relationship between Freya and Viona has improved. It was even the woman who helped Freya ascend the throne.
But unfortunately, after giving birth to her daughter, Viona's life was not helped. She left her newborn baby to Freya.
'Freya, I'm putting her up for you, you're my only hope Freya. Sorry for all my mistakes, I'm sorry.'
“Ya, Honey, next time don't be so.”
Freya took her four children away. Despite having to lose her husband and take care of the child of the person she hated, the woman did not blame the circumstances. Instead he was happy to see his son and daughter living in harmony. Although Cecil has a lack of how he talks, Freya still loves him.
Since Aaron's death, things have changed in Axios. Freya was crowned queen in her husband's place, and Alexa has now become a Duchess who often comes to the palace to help the mother take care of the empire.
Charlie and Cadee are also teenagers. Both of them were so similar to their Father, their hair was white and their eyes were in a distinctive matching color. But the nature of the two is much different from the father, they are so loving and devoted to the mother. Similarly, Cecil, apparently so similar to Viona, blonde hair, nose pointed, and eyes green, also took the nature of the genius of the mother.
...****************...
Arriving at the palace, Lidra and Violet welcome the arrival of the mother and her four children.
“Aibi!” said the three at the same time while running to hug Lidra.
“Hey, the three of you, you miss aunty?” The three of them nodded.
“Aunt, when did you come?” ask Charlie.
“When you go to the funeral, auntie has arrived here.”
“Auntie, you brought a gift for us?”
“Of course, guess what aunt brought for you?”
“Candy?” ask Cadee.
Lidra shook her head, “Your age is 14 years old, it's not time to give candy, guess what else.”
“Hmm, then what is aunt? Every time you come here, you always give us candy,” Cadee replies again.
Freya and Alexa laughed. “You're like not knowing aunt. This aunt works alone, and it takes a lot of cost.”
“Everyaunty stay in the palace alone with us, here is great fun,” reply Charlie.
“You guys, aunty has to work, can't stand idly by others.” Lidra took out two silver rings from her pouch, then paired them to her two nephews.
“Cantics, right? Aunty bought this with savings money, so take good care.”
Charlie and Cadee nodded.
“Now go to the dinner table, aunty makes Tibelia special apple pie for you.”
“Really, aunty, come on Charlie!” Cadee immediately pulled her brother's arm and ran towards the dining room.
While Cecil was still standing in his place, looking at Lidra expectantly.
“Sorry, Cecil, unfortunately aunty no longer has a gift.”
Cecil's face turned sad, “Really?”
“Ya, forgive aunty, yes.”
“Ti, it's okay, aunty. Y, yes, the important thing, aunty can get here safely.”
Lidra laughs at Cecil's expression, taking a heart-shaped necklace with a blue jewel in the middle, just like Charlie and Cadee's rings. “How, are you happy?”
Cecil nodded, “Thank you, auntie,” replied while hugging Lidra.
“Now go and follow your two brothers. You don't want to eat pie?”
“Ingin, aunty.” Cecil immediately ran away from Lidra.
“Sorry I didn't know you were coming big brother,” Freya said.
“Not a problem, but where were the empress and previous emperor Lezarde? Have they returned to Rodelis?”
After remarriage, Calista and Leonardo chose to settle in Rodelis. Leon decides to abdicate early and wants to live quietly with Calista. However, they often came to the capital to help Freya lead Axios and lead him to become a good leader.
“Calista's Empress and emperor Leonardo went to see her son at Lezarde.”
“Oh, so.”
“In the meantime, Alexa, aunty also have a gift for you.”
“True, I also got a gift from aunt?”
“Of course, you're my sister's first daughter,” Lidra replied while giving three candies to Alexa. This prompted her third laugh. In fact, Violet also joined in laughing to see him. Freya's loyal maid is now the butler in the palace.
'Aaron is now a happy son and daughter. Now, they're almost grown up. Just a few more years, in which Charlie will ascend the throne.' Freya.
Freya smiled looking at the sky so bright, as bright as she felt today. At this moment he could see his son and daughter growing up in plain sight, and that became his happiness.
I hope their story never repeats itself. Freya.
