Saving The Abandoned Empress

144 [Bonus chapter]”The Reason Of Her Rebirth”

‘It hurts...’

Eleanora felt pain all over her body as she felt her consciousness coming back.

She tried to move her body but soon realised that her body was being tied up by something.

Eleanora instantly opened her eyes in shock and found her both hands being tied up with silver cuffs, which prevented her from using her powers to break free.

“Oh, My empress is awake?”

Eleanora’s eyes widened in surprise as she heard the familiar voice once again.

‘The emperor?’

She turned her head to see a person standing infront of the window, the bright moonlight fall on his black hair and made it shine like silver.

Where his bloody red eyes looked alluring, but Eleanora was fearful.

.....

‘This place...’

“Yes... It’s the trial ground.”

“Where i had executed, my beloved empress...”

“!!!”

Eleanora was shocked to hear his words.

‘He remembers everything?!’

‘Then why-‘

“I have waited a long time for this... Finally i don’t need to act anymore...”

The emperor spoke as he kept wiping his sword with his handkerchief and looked at Eleanora with a smrik.

Where, Eleanora kept on struggling to get away.

She doesn’t want to stay on this podium again.

She kept pulling the silver cuffs, which kept her tied against the wooden box.

Where she had once stood and watched every false accusations fall upon her.

Fear filled up her heart and tears kept pouring.

‘No... Not again!’

‘Why i am still so foolish?!’

‘I don’t wanna die again!’

“DADDY!!!”

“SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME!!!”

Eleanora closed her eyes as she yelled with all her might to call for help.

But then, she was stunned to hear his sinister laughter.

“Hahhaahhhahaa... Do you really think someone will come to save you?!”

“It’s midnight! Everyone in the duchy thinks you are asleep! Who will pass by this trial ground at this time?”

The emperor spoke as he took steps towards her with his sword on her hand.

“NOOO!!! STAY AWAY!!!”

Eleanora tried to get away when he came closer and caught her jaw tightly to make her look at him.

“You are really naive, My empress...”

“Did you think i really loved you?”

The emperor asked as he got more closer to her and spoke in a deep voice.

“Let... Let me go...”

“How can i let you go when am finally going to achieve what i wanted all this years? Huh?”

The emperor spoke as he moved his sword a little and the edge of the sword touched her cheeks.

Eleanora closed her eyes and felt goosebumps on her body as the cold sword touched her cheeks.

“Why are you doing this... I didn’t even seek revenge for what you did to me- aaah!!”

Eleanora couldn’t speak anymore and yelled in pain as he released her jaw but grabbed her hair instead.

“Are you even qualified to take revenge? A weakling like you?”

“Once you die... Everything will go back to normal...”

“Pff-”

Eleanora’s sudden chuckle stunned the emperor and he looked at her, whose fearful blue eyes suddenly turned sharp and sparkling again.

“...Do you think she will come back if i die?”

“!!!”

The emperor’s eyes widened is shock as he heard her words and his grip on her scalp loosen a little bit.

“Do you think by calling me like him... You can be him? You are such a idiot... No wonder she didn’t choosed you-”

Eleanora couldn’t speak anymore as the emperor suddenly grabbed her neck and chocked her.

“HOW DARE YOU!”

“Do you think she will accept the current you? The you who has become a killer?”

“STOP!!! How do you know it all?!”

The emperor asked as he put more force on his hands which was chocking her.

But instead of fear, she laughed like a mad woman.

‘This is really hilarious... Even after every cruelty he showed and did to me, i can still recognise him even if the face is same...’

Eleanora knew that it wasn’t her Cathain who was infront of her from the very beginning.

She pretended to be fearful to talk with him more, so that she could guess the situation.

The unexplainable deaths of the empress’s, her suddenly seeing Ariande’s life, her getting a second chance to live again as the empire was destroyed in her previous life...

Getting the prophecy of being the saintess, The words engraved in the murals of the Rua kingdom...

“~I will keep wandering till you come and choose me. Otherwise, i will destroy your beloved empire’s for you to show up~”

The first emperor become the curse of the imperial family, every emperor suffered from heartbreak as their empress died and become crazy.

The first emperor tried every mean to force the goddess to sent back Ariande’s soul back.

And in the end, the goddess, who couldn’t watch this tragedies anymore had no choice but to give Ariande’s powers to the next empress.

Unfortunately, things didn’t went as the first emperor wanted and Eleanora was killed.

In the end, he destroyed the empire as she dreamt a few days ago.

The black dragon with red eyes was not her Cathain but the first emperor.

Who finally got what he wanted in this life.

Eleanora finally solved the puzzle of her being reborn again.

She blankly looked at the red eyes infront of her which looked empty and lost.

‘His eyes never looked like this...’

In the past, his eyes would be full of hatred and possessiveness which he tried his best to not show.

In the present, his eyes is always full of love and care, endless obsession...

How can she not recognise those eyes, which contained the same emotions as the past her?

Which contained crazy obsession towards him.

How can she mistook those eyes which always wanted to lock her up in a place where no one else but only he could see her...

Only he could touch and feel her.

Because she felt the same and his crazy possessiveness was what she liked in him the most.

.....

The feel of being wanted and protected by someone...

His jealousy which made her feel that he has her in his heart to feel like that even if it made her feel fearful.

The past Eleanora wanted only him to possess her, no one else but only her in his red eyes.

She just wanted to make him only look at her.

She hoped for him to become hers… and she will be completely his.

The past Eleanora wanted the same as the current Cathain wants.

But the Cathain infront of her right now has no such a thing in his red eyes even if they look the same.

She can see the desperation to get something from her in those red eyes.

Which contains those emotions for someone else who is inside her.

And the person, who is inside her is...

“Ariande wouldn’t want to see you like this...”
