Saving The Abandoned Empress

Chapter 185 - 185 "Not The Only One"



185 “Not The Only One”

The Next Day~

‘Hah, how much longer will it take us to reach the camp?’

Eleanora thought as she felt exhausted for walking everyday in this mountain with heavy snow on the road.

“Wait,”

“Your Majesty?”

Cathain gestured Eleanora to pause on their steps as he took out the binocular to look the road ahead.

“!!!”

‘I should’ve killed him when i had the chance...’

Cathain put the binocular in the bag again, before he spoke with a sigh for not killing Mendel earlier.

.....

“They found us, It’s Mendel... He is leading a army towards this way,”

“WHAT?!”

Eleanora’s blue eyes widened with shock as she calculated either they can defeat the Rua’s army or not.

“Your Majesty... LET’S RUN!!”

“...”

Eleanora spoke horrifically as she grabbed the surprised Cathain’s hands, who waa standing still and started to ran fast towards the opposite side of the mountain.

‘...Why do i feel like am running away from home to marry the girl i like and our family is chasing us?’

Cathain thought as he stared at the tiny figure with long shiny silver hair, who was running fast as she hold onto him tightly.

‘When will she could hold onto me this tightly for all my life...?’

.

.

.

“IT’S THE EMPEROR AND HIS FIANCEE!!!”

Cathain and Eleanora abruptly stopped as they encountered a group of Rua’s soldiers infront of them.

Without waiting for another moment, Cathain turned to ran the opposite way but unfortunately; the soldiers already surrounded them.

Leaving them no place to run away.

“EVERYBODY PREPARE TO FIRE! AWAIT FOR THE COMMAND AND SHOT AFTER THE SIGNAL!!”

‘Damn it! We can’t escape!’

Eleanora and Cathain, both thought the same as they unsealed their swords and the stood with their back on back.

Ready to fight as they really couldn’t escape from it anymore.

‘I will protect you, Elee... No matter what happens,’

‘I have to make him to escape first, No matter what happens to me...’

.

.

.

“The emperor and the crown princess got caught?”

“Yes, Your highness. We just got the signal...”

“Kill them, wether it’s the emperor or his fiancee.”

Mendel, who lost his one eye and upper body fully bandaged because of the burning he got from the emperor’s overwhelmed powers; chuckled as he heard the news.

And ordered his subordinates to kill them directly.

“Y-You mean shot them on sight? We don’t need to capture them?”

“Yes...”

“IF THEY’RE STILL ALIVE WHEN I REACH THERE, THEN I WILL JUST KILL YOU ALL!!”

Mendel roared as he marched towards the direction where they blocked the emperor and the crown princess with rage.

‘Enjoy your last moments, Your Majesty the emperor... I will make sure to give you the same pain which you caused to me!’

Meanwhile, in the imperial army’s gun division squad~

(Who are also in the north mountains)

“Captain, is it okay to leave like this?”

“Of course, not.”

“Then...why? Didn’t the Cheif Commander (Alexander, as Cathain sent a message to him before leaving to take over his post, after he leave his duties on Cedrick temporary) ordered each unit to remain at their place?”

“This is insubordination,”

“WHAAAT?!!!”

Most of the knights looked at their temporary Captain of the team, Colonel Raven with disbelief In their eyes.

“We are the proud knights of our empire... The crown prince risked her life to keep us save.”

“Do you think as knights, who swore to protect the imperial members and fight for the empire should just sit and await for orders?”

“And who are we going to save?”

“IT’S OUR FUTURE EMPRESS, THE MOTHER OF OUR EMPIRE!!”

“WHO DIDN’T HESITATED TO SURRENDER HERSELF TO THE ENEMY TO SAVE US!”

“...I will take full responsiblity for insubordination. It’s time to prove the oath we swore during the knigh ceremony.”

Cedrick spoke as he giddied up his horse and the knights become got back their courage as they decided to follow him.

“WE ARE WITH YOU, CAPTAIN!!”

“LET’S GO!!!”

‘Jennifer is safe with him... Duke Dalton should have already took over the Blue River, the Rua’s army will try their best to capture them now...’

‘They will need our help for sure now,’

‘Wait for me, El- Your highness!’

‘It’s my turn to help you now,’

CLANG!

“Your Majesty, are you alright?!”

Eleanora asked as she saw Cathain panting hard as he fought against the enemy troops along with her.

‘Did his wounds got reopened?’

“Am alright...”

“This won’t do… we can’t go on like this! Please escape, Your Majesty! If it’s only you, then you can make it while i hold them back!”

“That’s ridiculous, Elee… Either we escape together or die together, I won’t leave you!”

“I HATE THIS!”

AUGH!!!!

Eleanora roared at Cathain and most of the knights fall on the ground; yelled in pain as their chest got pierced by sharp ice swords.

She looked at Cathain angrily as her blue eyes become wet.

“I HATE SEEING YOU SUFFERING FOR ME OR GET HURT! I RATHER YOU JUST LEAVE ME BE LIKE YOU ALWAYS DID!”

“AM BEGGING YOU! LEAVE ME ALONE AND ESCAPE! DON’T TORTURE ME LIKE THIS ANYMORE- I really can’t take this anymore… Please”

Eleanora wailed and approached Cathain with tear in her eyes, as she used massive amount of her powers to take down the whole army team of hundred soldiers.

“When everyone gossiped about how coward and selfish i was to leave my mother and escape alone, when no one comforted me…

.....

The single handkerchief you handed me without any single words made you the light of my world.

When everyone was against me of being a knight, even my father couldn’t help me;

You cruelly sent me to the war to prove my worth, but where you actually helped me to fulfil my dreams…

When everyone said how I don’t look like a lady at all, during your coming of age ceremony, It was you, who reached out to me again…

That was the first time, I wanted to become worthy of someone… which was you.

Because i knew there would be no one like you.

I broke all my rules, threw away my dignity, just to be with you and only you…”

Eleanora paused on her words as she stood infront of Cathain and looked up to meet his motionless red eyes.

“But unfortunately... I was not the only one for you,”
