Saving The Abandoned Empress

111 “Victory Banquet”

After finishing his words, the young man in the black cloak immediately left the bar, leaving the all the people stunned.

‘R-Red eyes?! It was the emperor, Right?’

‘Why was the emperor here? Not to see the parade... then lady Dalton?’

‘Our neck will remain attached with our body, right?’

The whole bar become dead silent and none of them dared to gossip again in fear.

Outside of the bar~

“Why did you left without informing me, Your Majesty?”

Brayden spoke as he tried to catch breathe while speaking.

While working, The emperor suddenly disappeared from his study room; leaving all his works behind.

.....

After looking for a while, Brayden knew he must have came to the street to see the parade for Eleanora.

He thought the emperor would be happy after she returned but what is this now?

The aura around the emperor has turned more colder and darker.

Although Brayden couldn’t see Cathain’s face but he was sure that the emperor’s gaze right now could kill.

As he wasn’t understand why the emperor was like this, he looked around and finally understood why.

Cedrick Raven was riding his horse right aside with Eleanora and both of them was talking about something, where Eleanora was chuckling a little in the middle of the conversation.

“...”

‘Was it necessary for the emperor to come here and then get jealous for no reason?’

Brayden couldn’t understand the relationship between the emperor and the future empress.

Specially the firm rejection of Eleanora’s to be the empress and Alexander’s hostility towards the emperor.

And why the emperor feels guilty for no reason?

Brayden shakes his head as he knows he won’t get the answers by thinking it.

As he was about to open his mouth to speak, He was speechless as the emperor disappeared again!

‘Where did he vanished now?!!!’

On the other hand~

“Am thinking of transferring to the third squadron.”

Cedrick spoke as he continued to ride his horse slowly and Eleanora looked at him with disdain.

“What will you do there as an imperial knight? Hit on girls?”

Eleanora mocked Cedrick by her last sentence.

“Well, I can only use my full power with you... So it’s useless for me to stay at under the imperial commander and continue my knight training.”

“Yeah, Because there is no girls to show off your skills in the imperial army?”

“...Why do you always bring other girls?”

“Oh? I thought you liked to show off your skills and body to girls as every girl in the medical team would talk about how many packs you have, how muscular your body is, how cool you look while fighting-”

“Okay, Okay, stop it now! I don’t want to hear it anymore.”

Cedrick intruppted Eleanora in the middle of her words as his face become red because of embarrassment.

Seeing him blushing like that, Eleanora couldn’t help but chuckle.

Seeing her chuckle like that, Cedrick couldn’t help but also laugh with her.

‘Only if they knew how many whipping scars there are once the healing magic is taken off from my body.

They wouldn’t say that kind of words anymore.’

While Eleanora was lost in laughing as she remembered the past times with Cedrick during the war, where he would shutter while talking to a girl... Suddenly a red rose came to her view.

Without thinking much, she subconsciously took the rose and turned her head to see who gave her the flower.

But to her surprise, she couldn’t find who it was.

Then her eyes fall on a man, whose back was facing her as he walked.

From behind, she could only see the long black cloak of the man and his tall body.

For some reasons, Eleanora felt like it was that man who gave her the flower but she couldn’t say for sure as she didn’t saw who gave it.

Her focus was all on the red rose which suddenly appeared in-front of her eyes and took it without even looking at the person who gave it.

Eleanora examined the flower for a moment before she took it near her nose to smell it’s fragrance.

The dark red rose made her remember about someone, and she become silent as her eyes turned a little gloomy.

‘...Thank you’

Eleanora thanked the person who gave her the rose in her heart.

“Wow, Our little lady is already so famous!”

“...”

‘Is he taking revenge on me for making fun of him earlier?’

“I think i need to make an appointment first before meeting you from now on.”

“Why?”

“Because from now on, there will be a line of young man’s infront of your house to get a glimpse of your beauty.”

“...”

‘He is taking revenge for sure.’

Eleanora sneered before she went a little fast, leaving Cedrick behind.

“Hey!! Wait for me!”

Cedrick spoke as he also rode his horse a little fast to chase after Eleanora.

Where, Cathain watched the friendly intimate scene of those two with an unexplainable burning pain in his heart as he sneered and turned to leave.

‘You have changed a lot, where am still standing at the same point, where you left me to be... still dreaming of you everynight, My empress.’

...

The central palace of the imperial palace was full of nobles, who has came to attend the victory banquet which has been arranged for the knights.

Among the crowd of the nobles, there was a girl who wore a beautiful pink dress which made her milky white skin look more beautiful.

Her long shiny silver was opened, decorated with pearls and the dress swayed as she walked in while holding her father’s arm.

The crowd surrounded Eleanora, as they was astonished because of her beauty.

Most of them thought Eleanora would look more tough now as she is a sword master, but to their surprise, she was still delicate.

Eleanora in the past life had tried her best to slim down and become all delicate again, in order to please the emperor.

So, in this life, Eleanora already knew how to train without being tough perfectly.

Which girl disliked looking pretty? Eleanora was no exception either.

A while later, Cedrick found Eleanora and went to her, but both of them was stunned after seeing their oufits.

Cedrick wore a white suit with silver embroidery, which matched with Eleanora’s light pink dress with silver embroidery perfectly.

The crowd started whisper, talking about either they wore matching outfits purposely or not.

Both Eleanora and Cedrick felt awkward because of this.

Right then, the loud announcement by the chief attendant took everyone’s attention and all of them bowed down to pay respect to the emperor.

“The sun of the empire, Emperor Cathain De Valerian Valentino and Lady Jennifer De Liana Raven are entering!!!”

Eleanora, who bow down while holding her dress felt her stomach crumbling as she heard Jennifer’s name again.

‘Finally, it’s here... Meeting her again who took everything away from me.’

‘He must have fallen for her again, right?’

Eleanora felt bitter and pain in her heart as she tried to stay calm.

.....

Then remembered about her friend Liana, who didn’t sent any letter to her for a long time.

‘Did something happened to her?’

Eleanora, who was bowed down didn’t realised someone’s piercing gaze on her.

Cathain kept at looking at her and looking at Cedrick, he clenched his fist in anger.

‘So this is how much you guys have progressed? Wearing matching clothes, huh?’

If Cathain would, he wanted to go down right this instant and grab Eleanora to ask why she never replied to his letters.

Why she was always busy whenever he visited during the war breaks?

Didn’t she said she will give him a chance?

Then why is she doing this?

Everyone felt something was wrong when the emperor spoke nothing even after entering for a long time.

Then finally, the emperor opened his mouth to speak in a cold voice which contained no emotions.

“Raise your heads, I thank everyone for attending the victory banquet for our honourable knights, who returned after long four years.”

“We are honoured, Your Majesty.”

Everyone spoke after they got permission from the emperor to raise their heads and spoke in unison.

Eleanora’s eyes fall on the two people on the second floor, The man was wearing a black suit with a long red cape as the young girl beside him was wearing a beautiful white dress.

The girl had curly blonde hair and caramel brown eyes, her smile was sweet which anyone couldn’t help but fall for her.

But Eleanora knows how sly this sweet girl can be, who destroyed the three big kingdom from behind the curtains.

Who schemed her murder plan and the fall of her house.

Cathain took the wine glass from an attendants to start the banquet, but anyone could become afraid because of his dark expression.

Sensing this, Jennifer who was standing beside the emperor pinched his hands.

“Keep your jealousy in you for a moment and start the banquet, Your Majesty!

My brother didn’t did it deliberately, it was me who choose his outfit for today’s party.”

Jennifer spoke in a low voice, which made Cathain more angry.

“So, should i thank you for being the matchmaker for my wife?”

“...”

Cathain spoke with his gritted teeth as he wanted to push Jennifer from the second floor for choosing Cedrick’s outfit which matched with Eleanora.

Where, Eleanora sneered as she saw them conversing with each other.

‘Daddy was right, all mens are dogs. Their personality will never change like how dogs tails cannot be straighten!

He has fallen for her again where he kept whispering sweet words to me, saying am the only one for him.’
