' saving the abandoned empress

76 Chapter 76 ~ "Go Back To The Past"

The man wore a black cape, which covered his face and beside him, stood another person.

Alexander’s handsome face has aged a lot in just three years, he become thinner and weaker as he didn’t had any will to live anymore.

He felt like a complete failure, who couldn’t save his wife or daughter.

The moment Alexander’s eyes fall on Eleanora’s dead body, his body started to tremble.

Eleanora was lying in the emperor bedrooms big bed where she couldn’t even enter when she was alive.

The room was filled with the flowers she liked.

Laying peacefully wearing a gorgeous dress that she used to wear before she died.

Her hair was neatly combed up and if Alexander didn’t knew that she is dead, he would think that she is just sleeping.

Alexander knelt down beside Eleanora as tears kept pouring out from his eyes.

.....

“Ele... Dad is sorry, Dad couldn’t save you... Don’t forgive me... Only if i had protected you better and earlier... take you out from here...”

Alexander’s last words made Cathain shiver. Take her out from here?

From him?

No, he can’t allow that, but he is also too guilty to say that out loud to Alexander.

He is the one who imprisoned him, killed his daughter and grandchild.

It’s normal that he won’t want to keep her daughter near the person who murdered her.

But Cathain can’t help but feel heavy in his heart.

After Eleanora’s execution, he didn’t let anyone to bury her or held her funeral. Everyone questioned him but he shut them all.

At that time, he only wanted to keep her body in a corner for no reason. He didn’t even visited the room where she was kept for the first few months.

But gradually he started to look for the tiniest bit of things that proved the existence of a dead person.

He would often talk to himself, thinking Eleanora was beside him.

Or go to the abandoned palace which looks like a complete hunted house, full of darkness and spiderwebs.

He moved her all belongings to his room and finally, moved her dead body to his room.

Liana watched Cathain’s all craziness, frustration, guilt and love for Eleanora.

She saw how he used to cry like a madman in every night, screaming Eleanora’s name.

The more Liana saw Cathain going crazy slowly, the more guilty she become... it was a heavy feeling that she neither could take out or keep in.

Liana had to live even if she didn’t wanted to, where Cathain was living but no better then a dead person.

Alexander wanted to see the ends of the people who ruined his daughter and wife, So despite wanting to die, he had to live too.
