Previously on 'The Throne of the Royals':

"I love you, Katara. But right now, you need to wake up. It is not your time yet. Wake up and stay strong…don't ever forget who you are, my love…Whatever happens, I will always be with you…"

"Sapphire…" he mumbled against my skin and I shivered from his touch.

"Where am I…?" I whispered after a long time. Zuko intertwined his fingers with mine. "In the infirmary…do you remember what happened?"

I smiled and motioned towards my sisters. "Sokka, this is Jane, Lucinda and Laura. Your sisters…"

She nodded and then sighed. "Do you love anyone?" She asked me.

"Yes…" I whispered. "I do…"

Chapter 50:

I laughed, out of breath as Zuko continued to lead me away. Today I had finally fully recovered, it had only taken two weeks. Everyone was still living in the estate and all was at peace. Zuko had insisted that I come with him somewhere; he had placed a blindfold on my eyes as he held my hand. "Hurry up!" He called out as he pulled me along with him.

"Zuko…where are we going?" I panted.

I heard his tired laugh float back, "Don't you dare take off that blindfold!"

I rolled my eyes from behind the blindfold. "I wasn't planning to."

"Well then hurry up, Sapphire!"

I trudged up what seemed to be a staircase and then continued walking, with Zuko's lead. My shoes made a loud clicking so I suspected we were still in the estate. I heard the sound of a door opening and Zuko led me through the door. I then heard the sound of more doors opening.

"Spirits Zuko, where are you taking me?"

"Patience." He said as he led me into wherever he was taking me. He finally stopped walking and I grabbed the blindfold, ready to pull it off. "No! Not yet!" I sighed and dropped my hand and stood there, feeling completely insane.

"Zuko, what ar-"

"Just wait, please!" I had to hold my tongue because of the desperation in his voice.

He was breathing heavily, but he was quiet. Suddenly I heard the sound of piano, someone was playing the lullaby mother had taught me. I blinked through the blindfold, "Zuko, are we in the piano room?" I asked him.

He sighed, "You ruin every surprise." He said, exasperated.

I laughed and pulled the blindfold off. My mouth dropped open. We weren't in the piano room, far from it actually. We were standing on the balcony, of my old room, as the wind blew through my hair. I took in the site, the sky was painted a navy blue and the only thing that shone in the darkness was the moon. I could still hear the lullaby around us and I took in a deep breath.

This moment was priceless. My skin took in the cold, fresh night air of the balcony. My eyes took in the beautiful view of the moon standing beautifully on its own, independently lighting up the sky. I breathed in the fresh scent of crisp air and roses in the garden that the balcony overlooked. I could hear the lullaby still mixing in with this precious moment. I could taste the mist in the air and I grasped the railing of the balcony and leaned forwards.

"Zuko…it's beautiful…" I whispered finally turning towards him. He was staring directly at me, his golden eyes shining in the darkness. He slowly wrapped his arm around my waist and he pulled me next to him as we both took in the view.

He suddenly released my waist and he stood directly in front of me. I raised an eyebrow as he took a deep breath. "Katara…" He met my eyes and I gave him a questioning glance. "This Kingdom is finally free of my father's ways of ruling. For years we have passed on the ways of fear and threats, but that will happen no longer…" He paused and took my hand in his and kissed it.

"Katara, together you and I…we can create a new Kingdom filled with peace and kindness. I understand there is so much to do…and this is just the beginning, of the Kingdom, of us...but I definitely don't want any of this to end…Katara, it will take work but together we can make this Kingdom strive how it should…but I need your help…"

He paused and took my other hand as well. "I love you…" he said softly. I smiled faintly as I took in his words. "I love you so much, Katara…Sapphire…" He sighed, "I don't want to force you into anything…in the end it's your choice but I hope…you make the same choice as I do…" He released both of my hands and reached out behind him. He pulled out the copy of Wuthering Heights and sitting on top of it was a small box.

My breath hooked in my throat. He opened the box open with his free hand and then bent down on one knee. "Katara Tryon…" he met my eyes again and held our contact, "Will you marry me?"

I felt every part of me soar. I felt my knees grow weak as I stared from the beautiful ring placed in the box to the copy of Wuthering Heights sitting underneath it and then back up to Zuko. His eyes stared at me earnestly and eagerly. There was a tranquil silence as I looked at the man I loved, standing on one knee proposing to me. He seemed to grow handsomer every day. I stared into his eyes and his eyes flashed with something I had never seen before. Such a strong feeling of desire and love. By taking this ring, this proposal I was not only Zuko's wife…I would be the Queen. I wasn't sure if I had any idea of how to be a Queen, but I would have Zuko…and honestly, that was all I needed.

Before I thought about what I was doing, I tackled Zuko to the ground, knocking both the ring and the book out of his hands as I grabbed his neck and pulled him into a hug. I heard him chuckle but he grabbed my face in his hand, "Do I take that as a yes?" He asked me, sincerely.

I smiled wider than I could imagine as tears filled my eyes. "Yes." I whispered. He grabbed onto both sides of my face and he kissed me, not on the forehead or on the cheek, on the lips. Right then, fire and water, golden and sapphire, yin and yang clashed together. The most beautiful feeling in the world as I kissed him back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist as we lied on the ground of the balcony, kissing.

We both finally pulled away from the most breathtaking and gentlest kisses either of us had ever experienced. I held back a laugh at that thought, I had never kissed anyone before, but I knew that I had just experienced the best kiss anyone could ever experience. I sighed softly and Zuko exhaled sharply. "Spirits…" He whispered as our foreheads pressed together, our lips still centimeters apart. I was still grinning. I slowly rolled over so I was lying next to him.

He chuckled softly next to my ear as I kissed his neck. "Spirits Katara, will you allow me to finish before I lose any sanity you have left me with?"

I laughed softly and then cleared my throat. "Very well then, your highness. You may proceed with your proposal." I stood up, brushed off my dress and took my place back next to the balcony railing as Zuko collected the ring off of the floor and the book. He quickly bent down on one knee again and I pursed my lips to hold back my laughter. He opened the ring box again and slowly pulled out the ring. He held the ring in his hands as he took my left hand in his warm hand. He slowly slid the ring onto my ring finger and then leaned in and kissed my hand.

He looked up at me and I gave him a look, "Are you done?" I asked him.

He shook his head, "Just barely." He quickly stood up and handed me the copy of Wuthering Heights. He leaned over the balcony railing, "NOW!" He bellowed. I was taken aback and I waited as the piano stopped playing.

My eyes widened as the sky suddenly lit up with red and blue fireworks. I gasped as one of them made a loud noise in the sky and Zuko wrapped his arm around my waist as he pulled me in close to him. More fireworks shot up in the air, creating a sense of warmth in the cool air. The entire sky lit up red and blue in honor of our engagement. I held my hand to my mouth to contain my shock and excitement.

Zuko pulled closer to him. "What do you think?"

My eyes were lightened up from the fireworks in the sky and I couldn't tear my eyes away from the beautiful view. "I love you…" I whispered as I continued staring up at the sky in awe. I caught Zuko's faint smile before he pulled me close to him again. "I love you more…"

I smiled, not daring to look away from the fireworks, "I highly doubt that…" I whispered as I shook my head in disbelief of what I went through in the past year and half. It was unbelievable.

We stood watching the fireworks for the rest of the night. Finally the sky was clear of any color other than a very dark blue that resembled black. Faint traces of smoke lined the sky and I finally turned back to Zuko. He grabbed my hand and he helped me sit down in the chair that was out on the balcony, there was still a faint pain in my back, not to mention the scar.

He sat down beside me and I rested my head on his shoulder. He sighed and then pulled Wuthering Heights off of my lap and he held it open in front of me. "Read it to me." He said gently.

I looked at him in disbelief, "Zuko…"

"Please, Sapphire. It's the only reason I've held on to it for so long…"

I rolled my eyes and the sighed as I flipped to the first page. Zuko pulled closer to him as he kissed the top of my head. I sighed and began reading, "A charming introduction to a hermit's life!" Zuko chuckled softly and I stared up at him, "What?"

"It sounds much better when you read it."

"Zuko, I only read the first sentence…"

Ho nodded knowingly.

I gave him a faint smile before continuing, "Four weeks' torture, tossing, and sickness! Oh, these bleak winds and bitter northern skies, and impassable roads, and dilatory country surgeons! And oh, this dearth of the human physiognomy! And, worse than all, the terrible intimation of Kenneth that I need not expect to be out of doors till spring!"

Zuko suddenly brought his head next to mine to read, "Mr. Heathcliff has just honored me with a call. About seven days ago he sent me a brace of grouse-the last of the season. Scoundrel! He is not altogether guiltless in this illness of mine; and that I had a great mind to tell him. But, alas! how could I offend a man who was charitable enough to sit at my bedside a good hour, and talk on some other subject than pills and draughts, blisters and leeches?"

I smiled at him, obviously impressed of how much better the book sounded when he read it. I continued reading, "This is quite an easy interval. I am too weak to read; yet I feel as if I could enjoy something interesting. Why not have up Mrs. Dean to finish her tale? I can recollect its chief incidents, as far as she had gone. Yes: I remember her hero had run off, and never been heard of for three years; and the heroine was married. I'll ring: she'll be delighted to find me capable of talking cheerfully. Mrs. Dean came."

Zuko kissed my ear and I leaned back. "Keep going." He said against my skin. I swallowed, how did he expect me to focus on reading when his lips were on my skin? I set the book down and stretched out. "I'm exhausted…" I said quietly as I shut the book. Zuko frowned and pulled away from me. I smiled at Zuko, "Last night, I was on the threshold of hell. To-day, I am within sight of my heaven. I have my eyes on it: hardly three feet to sever me!" I said, quoting one of my favorite lines from 'Wuthering Heights'.

Zuko sighed and then leaned back next to me. I felt my eyelids grow heavy and I closed my eyes, feeling at peace after an entire year and half. Despite everything that had happened, I was finally at peace. A year and a half had passed since my life had taken a complete turn and now...? All was well.

How was that? I thought I would end off with some 'Wutheirng Heights' Read aloud time! Hope you enjoyed reading this story, I will post an epilogue, so stay tuned! I was also thinking of a sequel…what do you think? I think it would be a sequel of this story but from Zuko's perspective? Anyways, please review and tell me what you thought! I'm no good at fluffy scenes…REVIEW PLEASE!
