' saving the abandoned empress

80 Chapter 80 ~ "Jealous"

Eleanora quickly pushed off Ain as she felt her heart stopped it beatings. She feared that her suspicion might come true if she kept looking into his eyes.

‘No it can’t be true... it can’t happen with me. I finally found a friend whom i can talk to, share my opinions with.

Ain and i share same thoughts, which the crown prince and i didn’t...’

Eleanora suddenly paused in her thoughts as a sudden realisation hit her.

‘Did he and i really shared no familiar thoughts?’

In the past, no matter either it was a war strategy or a border negotiation, Eleanora and Cathain shared the same thought.

Make the other party submissive... Obey willingly or forced to obey.

First, use negotiation as an excuse to make them obey...if it didn’t worked then, use force to make them obey with superior power.

Although it bought prosperity for the empire and good life for commoners, but it made their, especially Eleanora’s charecter as a tyrant empress who was cruel in both battlefield and strategy to the people.

.....

Eleanora felt her body go numb and Cathain clenched his fist when he saw the rejection look in Eleanora’s eyes.

But before he could do anything, the rushing Liana and Dominic called out for her.

“Eleanora!”

“Brother Dom? Lennie?”

Eleanora approched them and Dominic looked around as he found something was not right.

“What happened Ele? Are you allright?”

“Yeah Brother. It was just some fly’s causing trouble here and there.”

“...”

The royal knights was speechless. The scene which happened here just now was no normal scene okay?

You almost cheated on our crown prince with this countryside secret knight in broad daylight!

But they can’t speak that out loud, so they choosed to stay silent.

Their crown prince, who asks for a report everyday about the crown princess might kill them if he heard this.

But they also can’t hide it right? So one of them have to go forward to ask her about this apple selling countryside boy.

“Ahem... Your Ladyship, Can you please explain this to us?”

‘So that we can save our head from the crown prince’s sword?’

“Yeah, Your Ladyship, what is the whole thing about?”

Both Sir Anthony and Raymond asked one after one to Eleanora.

Then Dominic and Liana also noticed the boy who was standing behind of Eleanora, He didn’t looked like a normal mercenary at all.

They narrowed their eyes as they started to examine Cathain.

‘This guys doesn’t have magic powers? But why does this normal thing feels weird?’
