15 The Reborn Queen’s Retribution

- Imperial Garden -

Aaron Sky believed that Stella had told him the truth and that he had misunderstood his late queen as the evil queen. He had told Duke Williams to get out of the palace and increased the palace security afterward.

Right now, he was around his children and his pregnant wife.

He was content just being around them and watched them playing games and laughed.

"Daddy!"

He stunned when he saw Elliot looking at him with his puppy eyes and smiled dazzlingly while he lifted his hands up as a gesture to carry him.

He did just that and carry him to look for bugs at the beautiful flower.

And then he showed him a little ladybug but for some reason, it looked majestic.

Elliott whispered, " Daddy..., mommy gave this bug to me when she healed me..., it was a fairy bug but it won't mature until another 10 years since it got hurt when mommy gave me her blood power, it became a baby again.., this is the last fairy bug, it helped mommy to gather information about the bad people..., she protected us with her life..., don't let her died any more daddy?!"

Aaron was puzzled with his information and thought of his last word. Died again? Did he think that Candice and Stella had the same soul?

He shook his head at the ridiculous thought. Even though sometimes he felt a familiarity with Stella, she couldn't be the same person.

Then he saw the baby bug entering Elliot's palm.

He freaked out but before he could say anything, Elliot softly said, " Don't worry, Daddy! My blood is its food and my heart is its lodging! It won't hurt me!"

"It didn't hurt even a bit?"

"My blood is special, mommy gave all her blood energy to me and she let me see the past, all of my ancestor's memory is in my head, and I could read minds too, but not yours, daddy.., maybe your blood is special too!"

Stunned, he looked at Elliot in a different way, he no longer a six years old, with the memory of the past, no wonder his children was very mature at an early age.

"Daddy..., my grandmother told me in a dream that I have to protect my mommy..., she told me what to do but I can't tell you yet until the tribulation day!"

"Elliot..., thanks for opening up and telling me everything..., I love you son and I missed you so much!"

He hugged the little body really tight.

Then he saw that Stella, Nathan, and Nathalie had paused and look at them. One by one they came to him and they were doing a group hugs.

"Daddy, I love you!" Nathan and Nathalie said the four affectionate words together, they were twins after all.

- The next day, Imperial Park -

Aaron smiled happily and he was wishing that this happiness would last forever. Stella was laughing brightly but before Aaron could join them, they were surrounded by Duke Williams men. They were 10 bulky men in total and they were all carrying a big gun with heavy ammunition.

Aaron hurriedly run toward them and screamed, " Let go of them!"

Duke Williams showed up from behind his men and hissed, "Aaron Sky.., if you want your young wife and children alive..., surrendered your crown to me!" He had his gun pointed at Stella's head.

While the guards that holding his children hostages only holding their hands behind them.

His children were calm and none showing their fear. Aaron's felt proud of them and with an inferno gaze he swore," Darn you, cousin..., what have I done to you to make you betray me ?"

"It wasn't just you..., also.., your father..., he sacrificed everyone around him for his throne..., and grandma gave everything to you..., I only got your leftover..."

"What happened to my soldiers, why nobody here?"

"Hahaha..., the Wind Clan was outside fighting with your soldiers!"

Stella gave him a signal and he understood because it was on their plan.

Right away, he jumped to the bushes and reached out for his gun, while Candice using her martial art apprehended Duke Williams and took him as a hostage.

At the same moment, the twin was looking at her like they looking at a ghost.

The same martial art as their mother..., it is possible for Stella to be their mom?

Nathan and Nathalie were looking at each other with confusion while Elliot only smiled with understanding.

"Let my children go, or he dies!"

Candice was holding Duke Williams with her claw on his neck.

"Don't do that, she doesn't have a gun and we have three hostages!", ordered Duke Williams.

"Now!", announced Candice. She let go of her claw and pushed Duke Williams toward Aaron.

Aaron was aiming his gun to Duke Williams's vital area and fired right into his temple. His body's limp like a big rock falling from the cliff, but none of his bodyguards make a move.

"Now!!" Aaron commanded.

The three guards that were holding Nathan, Nathalie and Elliot's hostages were letting them go and another two guards joined hand with them.

Now, the five guards in Aaron side was pointing the gun to the other five guards. Multiple shots were fired and the enemy men died instantly.

"Your majesty.." the five guards were giving him respect. They had known of Duke Williams plan and Aaron was able to make the five guards switched side, after all, they were under his mother clan and now they could live and worked in the Sky country as a guard.

Aaron nodded but before he could dismiss them, a black shadow was out to the open and dragged Stella away. With a knife on her neck, the mysterious person smiled evilly.

"Dave Wind!" Candice was able to recognize the evil guy anywhere..., he was the person responsible for her father poisoning and the reason why they had to hide in the faraway island.

"How do you know me? I never see you before!", the snake asked suspiciously and threatened Aaron and uttered, "Give me your crown, or your queen dies..., no need to fight..., my soldiers were outside the palace and they outnumbered your men!, by the way.., thank for killing my partner that way I don't have to dirty my hand, Ha Ha Ha!".

Stella was sending Aaron a sign again, but this time the knife was on her neck tightly, he could see her blood was dripping out slowly.

He was scared. He couldn't lose without another queen. He couldn't live without Stella, he loves her so much.

"Now.., Aaron..., protect our children..."

In an instant, she pulled out Dave Wind's hand with a counterattack move, but even though she was able to break through, his knife had sliced deep into her neck vital area.

"No...., Stella..!"

Aaron fired his gun immediately and the bullet went through Dave Wind black heart.

"Mommy...." the children screamed simultaneously.

They were circling Candice with teary-eyes and disbelief. The plan should be fail-proof but unexpectedly Dave Wind took the matter into his own hand at the last minute, thus they couldn't know this information.

"Aaron..., give...me...that...knife!"

Stella pointed at the knife on Dave Wind's hand.

Without question, Aaron complied.

Candice reached for the knife at Aaron's hand and without hesitation cut her belly.

"No..., Stella..!" Aaron was shocked but he was unable to stop her. He didn't think that she would use the sharp knife to cut her belly and she didn't even wince or cried, he deserved to be his queen.., so dignified and strong.

"Aaron..., Safe the baby!" Her voice stunned him and while sobbing hard, he did as her command. Slowly, he pulled out his fragile little baby who only weighed about 2 lbs and cut her umbilical cord but 'She' didn't breathe.

Aaron paused for a while and while still sobbing, he gently explained," Stella..., honey.., don't ..be...sad..., please...be...strong...and...be...alive..!

After a long paused from shock, the twin went to her side and asked at the same time," Mommy..., are you, mommy!"

Candice nodded.

"What? You are Candice Sky? How could it possible?", asked Aaron with furrowed brows.

"Elliot.., come to mommy!"

Elliot was holding his tears and tried to be brave...

After all, grandma already told him what gonna happen in his dream and made him promise not to interfere with his mommy tribulation.

"Elliot..., save your brother with the same technique mommy use to healed you"

Elliot nodded and asked his daddy politely, " Give me my baby sister, daddy!"

Aaron was still crying and in shock, he gave the baby to Elliot and pulled his one and only wife to his lap and whispered," No matter you, Candice or Stella, I love both of you equally..., please stay with me and the children!"

"Mommy, don't leave us!"

"Mommy!"

Elliot was able to concentrate even though his world falling apart. He pushed all his energy power.

"Nathalie, I need your help now sister!"

Wiping her tears, she helped Elliot and together they revived their baby sister.

The baby crying loudly. Aaron hugged Candice tight and lovingly said, " Our baby alive! You need to hold on too!"

"My secret was out..., my mother told me I would turn into the bubbles if that happened!"

"Would you forgive me for hurting you in your past life?!"

"Nothing to forgive..., My soul was damaged in my past life, being with you in the present life was the happiest moment in my life!"

Suddenly, Devin Cloud showed up and he screamed when he saw blood was covering her from the neck area to the stomach area," Noooo...., Stella..., my sister..."

He was sitting next to her while Elliot handed him the little baby and he sobbed while looking at Stella and the baby with mesmerizing eyes.

"I am sorry.., I came late.., but the good news is that we had annihilated all the enemy soldiers!"

Candice nodded," Thanks for being my brother in this life..., your love had warm my heart and taught me how to love.., Goodbye, Devin.., if there is another life.., I will be your sister again!!"

"No..., Stella..., don't leave your brother...!!!"

Candice shook her head and said her goodbye," Bye..., Aaron.., take care the children..., Elliot, Nathan, and Nathalie..., take care your sister..., her name is Ellie...because 'El' from Elliot and 'Lie' from Nathalie, because both of you gave her life!, take care each other..., I love you!!!"

Instantly, Candice's body turned into bubbles and they all cried unceasingly. While Devin tried to catch her bubbled with a stunned expression.

But in the end, nothing left from the reborn queen but the sorrowful song of the death.

However, when Candice soul was lifted up to the highest heaven, she smiled happily while thinking,' My family is saved and my enemies got their retribution.., I have no regrets in my two lifetime..., If there's the next life, I will be with you again, my beloved.., until next time!!"
