Saving The Abandoned Empress

61 Chapter 61 ~ “Bloody Red Eyes”

‘B-Birthday?’

Eleanora finally remembered that today was her 13th birthday...

In the empire, people wasn’t allowed to celebrate their birthday before the coming of age ceremony and as she was busy with her training and all, she totally forgot about her birthday.

‘So... it’s been already three years since i came back? That means father will be back soon, The war would start too. It’s just i didn’t fall for him in this life like the past...’

Seeing her lost in thoughts, while being on his arms, Cathain frowned.

Normally Eleanora would jump out the moment he gets close to her but right now, she was too shocked and lost in thoughts to do so.

‘I don’t want you to stay in my arms like this. I rather you avoid me because at least you notice me at that time.’

Cathain hugged her more tightly and burried his face on her shoulder.

He spoke like a child who was complaining for not getting attention.

.....

“My empress is ignoring me...”

“W-Who is your empress?”

Eleanora, who finally snapped back jump out like a frightened kitten when she finally felt his grip around her.

But, he didn’t loosened his grip and finally felt happy as she noticed him.

‘Yeah, Hate me, Loath me... but do that while staying beside me, do it in my arms.’

Eleanora saw his expression and felt like their roles have reversed.

His gaze right now was just like her own gaze in the past.

How she loved the way he hate her, loath her... but was happy because he was bound with her.

‘No... this can’t happen... it will be another tragedy if this goes on...’

She knows how it feels like when you feelings isn’t mutual.

And giving their circumstances now, it’s impossible for her to return his feelings.

She knows he is somehow interested into her, but she always ignored this with many excuses.

But his gaze right now is serious. She can see the same crazy obsession into his eyes like the past her.

Cathain took out another ring as Eleanora was lost in thoughts again. It was his engagement ring.

“Won’t you help me put it?”

Eleanora glared at him, she doesn’t fear him anymore like before and she hates him openly, which he also knows.

But this guy is persistent.

He forced her to take the ring and put it into his own ring finger forcibly.

“Now it looks good...”

Cathain spoke as he stared at both of their couple rings and devilishly smiled.

‘Because those guys will know that you are mine... ...And can only be mine alone.’

Eleanora couldn’t bear his crazy behaviour anymore and stood up to leave, like she was actually fleeing away.

Cathain smriked and soon catched up with her, as he extended his arms towards her to hold.

She didn’t wanted to hold his arms but had no choice either.

The cheif attendant shouted their names to announce as the door to the banquet hall opened for them.

“The Crown Prince, Cathain Valerian De Valentino and Saintess, Eleanora Ariande La Dalton; Are entering...”

Everyone looked up towards them as they walked into the banquet hall together.

The current king of Rua kingdom, Melendez, came forward to welcome them.

They greeted each other politely and then Eleanora’s gaze fall on the bronzed skinned boy beside the king.

Bronzed skin with long black hair and black eyes, his muscular figure was visible because of the exposed dress he was wearing.

He was smiling, looking not dangerous at all, Which was the real danger.

It was the 7th prince of the Rua Kingdom, Mendel, the illegitimate prince who was born from a palace maid.

The weak prince who will kill his own half siblings and his own father for the throne in just six months.

Who will start a war with the empire and whose head would be beheaded by her hands.

The shiny banquet hall remembered her the day, when the seventeen year old Eleanora went on rampage as she unleashed her all magic powers.

She destroyed this whole place and killed all the knights alone as she charged towards the him with her sword.

______

“Come... My beautiful princess. Welcome to my palace.”

“Your presence in this palace has really turned this place upside down.”

“As expected from the girl, who caught my eyes.”

Without replying to any of his words, Eleanora kept killing the soldiers who came infront of her.

As she finally charged towards him, he clashed against her with his sword.

Eleanora gritted her teath as he was really the strong one.

They kept clashing against each other but she felt like he was just playing with her.

Like they was actually dancing with their swords.

“I know i can’t have you... So, i rather kill you myself then not having you...”

Mendel, the current king of that time said with a playful smile.

He was sure that Eleanora was no match for a powerful man like him.

And this was his biggest mistake...

Eleanora, who finally lost her all patience went mad and unleashed her all magic powers.

She felt like her heart was torn into pieces and with a single swift motion, Mendel’s head fall into the ground.

The whole place was destroyed and people, who outside of the palace was frightened to see such a big palace suddenly collapsed.

They was even more shocked when they saw a blurry figure in the midst of the collapsing palace coming out with something on her hand.

It was the commander of the first squadron knights, Eleanora Dalton and the thing in her hand was the enemies king’s head!

When she saw the commoners, sending into the battlefield, Eleanora lost it.

She personally left the battlefield, instructing the knights to not attack the weaks to find Mendel.

Everyone become silent and looked at her as she passed by them.

The Rua soldiers immediately surrendered and the commoners started to cheer for her.

But what Eleanora felt was not victory but a cruel murderer, who was being cheered for murdering.

_____

Infront of Eleanora is the same crazy tyrant king of the Rua kingdom, who will be beheaded at her hands in the future.

She has no intention of meddling into their affairs as long as she can stop the war from happening or minimize the damage.

After their brief greeting, The hall echoed with beautiful melody and everyone started to dance.

Cathain put his one hand on her waist as the other caught her another hand.

As their fingers interwrilled together, The ring on her finger seemed like a invisible shackle to him, which was bounding them together.

They continued to dance together but seeing her not paying any attention to him, Cathain started to speak first.

“Do you fancy that weak prince? You was staring at him earlier...”

‘This crazy guy...! does every guy i stare at have to be to my liking?’

Eleanora rebuked him on her mind and kept silent without replying. Then she heard him whispering to her again.

“I see... Then i have to work hard, So that you can only stare me and can’t look at any other guys...”

After he finished his whispering, Cathain suddenly opened her hair and lifted her up as he twrilled her around.

He hugged her tightly and carefully. Where she placed her hands on his broad shoulder’s to not fall.

.....

They completely ignored the surprised gaze of others. As, time seemed to stop around them...

People stopped moving and their surrounding become filled with dead silent and darkness.

The moonlight swoon upon them, who had only each other in their eyes.

Eleanora stared into his red eyes with her widening blue eyes.

His eyes was full of desperation, obsession and possissevness.

Which only had her in those bloody red eyes...
