Saving The Abandoned Empress

Chapter 139 - 139 "The Past: Hurting"

139 “The Past: Hurting”

‘A-Ariande?’

The man with black hair yelled the woman’s name as he held her in his arms, who suddenly fainted.

Eleanora felt confused.

This is the name given to her by the goddess, and calculating everything...

‘This isn’t the first emperor and the saintess right?!’

‘Why am i here, seeing them?!’

“Aria!! Wake up!!”

The man yelled as he carried Ariande on his arms and all the maids rushed out to them.

“Duchess!!!”

.....

“Hurry up! Call the doctor!”

Curiosity caught Eleanora and she also decided to follow them inside of the mansion.

‘Just how weak she is?’

‘Isn’t she a saintess? She should have higher healing power then me as the real owner of holy powers.’

Eleanora thought as she watched the maids running in horror and the man sitting beside Ariadne with fearful eyes.

Then the door opened and a young man came in, seeing his appearance Eleanora thought he would be a doctor but to her surprise; it was a priest.

‘So the priests was called doctor at that time?’

‘But he is handsome for sure.’

[A/N: Thank God a certain someone didn’t heard it]

‘Focus, Ele!!’

“My lord, what have you done to make the saintess faint this time?”

The young man spoke as he sighed.

“Just cheak on her quitely and then disappear...”

“...”

“...”

The young man felt frustrated and was about to touch Ariande’s hand to feel the pulse, his wrist was gripped by someone.

Without speaking anything, the man with black hair took out a handkerchief and put it above Ariadne’s wrist.

“Now, go on.”

“...”

“...”

‘Is he even serious?’

The young man didn’t wanted to argue so he just proceed with his treatment and a sudden dark light glow from Ariande’s womb.

‘What’s this?!’

The dark light glow from Ariande and then it was absorbed into the black haired man.

‘What are they doing?’

Eleanora couldn’t understand a single thing.

What is happening?

After a short period, the process ended and the way no one was surprised or shocked made Eleanora believe this was a normal thing here.

The young man sighed in relief as the process ended and opened his mouth to speak.

“Duke, i don’t know if i should say this or not...”

“Just speak.”

“...”

“...”

‘Why is he so cold? He feels even more dangerous then him... Wait, dangerous?’

Eleanora recalled the moment when she danced with the emperor today.

“I think it’s best to not let this child born.”

“!!!”

But before she could think more, their conversation shocked her.

Eleanora raised up her head and widened her eyes in horror.

What are they talking about?

How can they say such thing so easily?

Hearing the young man’s words, the black haired man looked at the unconscious woman beside him.

Pain was written all over his face and he pressed his thin lips together.

“She won’t agree... She loves the child very much.”

“But duke- You know it too. She is someone with holy powers and the child is-”

“I know it.”

Eleanora frowned as she heard their conversation.

She is someone who has lost three child so she knew how it would feel if Ariande heard it.

Moreover it would be her husband who would tell her to give up on the child willingly.

Even if someone in the past had told her that the emperor would love her if she gives up on her child, she would never do it.

“The lady is full of holy powers and her body can’t withstand the amount of dark powers the child in her belly has, DUKE!! She is literary giving up on her life by keeping the child!!”

“GET OUT, EVERYONE!”

As soon as the young man finished speaking, the black haired man yelled and everyone went out with a worried face.

Then silence fall upon the room.

“Aria... What should i do... Can’t you just choose me and live with only me?”

“Just choose me... My perverted saintess.”

“Please... Don’t leave me, Aria... I can’t live without you... I can’t...”

Eleanora stood quitly as she couldn’t even dare to think anymore.

He is not wrong to save his wife but she isn’t wrong either by not giving up on her child.

Then the surrounding become dark and the scene infront of Eleanora changed.

Eleanora realised it was night time and there was thunderstorms with heavy rainfall.

But then she was stand to hear a loud sound of slap.

Turning her head, Eleanora’s eyes fall on the tall black haired man.

Who has been just slapped.

Infront of him was a short and weak looking pregnant woman with a huge belly.

She had tears filled up her golden eyes and her hands which just slapped him was also trembling.

“HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT OUR CHILD, CAIN?!”

“Aria...listen to me...”

Despite being slapped by her, the man was still worried about her and talked softly to calm her down.

He grabbed her shoulder lightly but she looked away and sobbed loudly.

“How... Can you say that you don’t want it? It’s our child Cain... My and Yours...”

“Aria... Please. Is it not enough to just have me? We will live happily, i will listen to anything you say... Just this one-”

.....

The man spoke as gently as he could to convince her. Her health was becoming worse as her due date was coming closer.

But Ariande yanked off his hands from her shoulder as she felt hurted by his words.

“You want me to live happily by sacrificing my child?!”

“Aria- try to understand...”

“No! I don’t want to understand at all! I won’t give up on our child!”

“So you rather give up on your life, leave me alone for someone who is eating away your life force and becoming stronger... Making you suffer everyday?”

The black haired man with red eyes asked as he looked at his wife who was wrapping her hands around her belly as a sign of protecting it asked.

He was still trying to believe that she won’t give up on him, there is no one in his life except her.

How will he live without her?

“Aria... Say you won’t leave me... You love me, right?”

“...”

“Aria?”

“Yes... Am okay with sacrificing myself for our child, i can’t give up on this little one...”

“ARIA!!!”

The man yelled at Ariande and she burst into tears.

He looked at her with sorrowful angry gaze but as he saw tears on her eyes, he couldn’t help but hug her tightly into his arms.

“I beg you Aria- Don’t do this to me...”

“Cain...”

Ariande called his name and right then, he fall on the ground on his knees and clasped her hands tightly into his.

“Why are you so cruel towards me but love this child who is not even born so much?”

“...Cain, get up...”

“What should i do to keep you with me?”

“Then tell me why i can’t keep our child to be with you?

Why are you always so close but yet distanced?

What are you hiding from me, Cain?”

“...”

“See... You don’t even trust me enough to open up... Am tired of trying to get know about you...”

The black haired man keep quite as he was lost in thoughts.

How can he tell that the man she loves is not even a human being but a monstrous black dragon?

The imperial family is using this secret as a lesh on him by threating him to harm her?

If he reveals it, she will certainly tell him to stop... She will sacrifice her love for him to live freely.

Or she might even feel disgusted that he is such a dark creature, which harms humans.

“Am sorry... Anything else but not this-”

“Then there is nothing to talk about.”

The black haired man didn’t replianything after that and kept looking down.

Ariande took away her hand from his grip and turned away.

After a long silence, she finally spoke.

“I don’t want to leave you... I also want to live... But i can’t give up on our child, Cain.”

“Aria-”

He stood up as he clenched his fists tightly and wrapped her up in his embrace, trying his best to keep her with him instead of disappearing.

“Am scared, Cain... I don’t want to die... I also want our child to grow up with our love... But i can’t give up on my child because of my life, Cain...”

Ariande kept on sobbing where Cathain couldn’t hold back anymore and cried with her.

“We will find a way... I won’t let anything happen to you... We will live happily, my saintess...”

“I love you, Cain...”

“...me too.”

Eleanora watched the couple sobbing as they hugged each other tightly.

‘It’s not me... But why do i still feel so much pain?’

Eleanora’s heart was clenching tightly and unknowingly, tears also started to fall from her eyes.

Then she clenched her chest with her hands to subdue the pain.

‘Why am also crying? Why it’s hurting so much?’
