Saving The Abandoned Empress-Chapter 109

109 “Four Years Later”

“Commander!! Something has happened!!”

Alexander, who was currently discussing about their next attack plan with the other high ranking knights paused on his words as he heard his aides loud yelling.

“What happened?”

Alexander asked with a frown as he didn’t liked being interrupted in the middle of his words.

Where Raynor couldn’t even speak as he ran out breathe and currently he was gasping for breathe to speak.

“The last army of Republic is barbarians and suddenly attacked us in the middle of the war break!”

‘What?!’

Raynor’s words made everyone shock and panicked. They have sent half of the knights back to the empire to rest and the new knights has yet to come.

But the problem is how did the words of them changing knights got leaked?

.....

There isn’t enough knights to fight now, what would they do?

At that time, another knight came running to them.

“We have a problem. They left without any knights to fight the republicans army! Just the two of them alone!”

Bang!

Hearing the knights words, Alexander got so angry that he punched the wooden table in-front of him.

‘This girl! Am going to die sooner or later by heart attack because of her.’

His chilly magic aura was making the other people tremble in fear.

“They left and no one stopped them?!”

“W-we couldn’t stop them...”

“You all knights couldn’t stop two teenagers?! How do you even fight in battlefield then?!”

The knight felt like crying as he was being wronged here.

‘Duke... they are literally the monsters of the battlefield! Where we are normal knights! How could we possibly stop them?’

‘Moreover, They don’t even listen to you; let alone us!’

‘They fight like they are just playing chess, where the battlefield is nothing but chessboard!’

Alexander clenched his fists as he picked up his sword with a dark expression.

The blue robe over his shining silver armour flew as he walked in rage and ordered the knights to prepare to fight.

“Follow them! If a single hair of hers goes missing I will kill you all before the enemy does!”

“...”

‘That’s not fair, Commander!!!’

...

“Hahhaaa!! What the? Is there no one else beside you two in the empire’s army?!”

“There must be none, otherwise why would they sent two kids to fight hundred mens?!”

“Hahhaaaa!!!”

“Moreover one of them is a girl!! Hahaha!!”

“I will die because of laughing too much!!”

“This is hilarious! As expected from a 22 year old emperor who sent two teenagers to fight us!!”

The Barbarians army sent by the Republic Kingdom continued to laugh, who didn’t even knew the persons infront of them.

Where on the other hand, a young girl and a boy silently listened to them.

“Can we just start killing without wasting anymore time? I don’t want to celebrate my birthday in the battlefield.”

A cold but sweet voice came out as the girl opened her mouth to speak.

Her shiny silver hair was more longer now, as a blue ribbon tied her hair up into a high ponytail.

Wearing the Dalton’s official knight suit, she hold her decorated sharp sword in her right hand as she watched the people laughing at a small distance.

Her beautiful jewel like blue eyes was full of irritation as she was getting bored.

The girl was no one else but Dame Eleanora Ariadne La Dalton, the future moon of the empire; who will soon turn 18.

The person beside her sighed before he started to speak in a gentle manly voice to calm her down.

“Calm down. We are here to waste their time anyway. They have stopped coming forward after seeing us. The commander will be coming soon with the knights.”

The man with blonde hair and green eyes spoke as he patted her head softly.

He was wearing pastel white imperial knight suit as he was already become a imperial knight.

It was Cedrick Raven, Who is 22 now; same age as the emperor.

But Eleanora was really getting pissed off because of the words of the Republic knights, who ridiculed her and Cedrick for being young knights.

“I really wanna separate their head from their body and then ask them, What’s wrong with a woman being in the battlefield?”

“And like their heads will answer you- Ouch!”

Narrowing her blue eyes, Eleanora glared at Cedrick as she used her elbow to hit him on his belly.

“Keep your mouth shut if you don’t wanna get frozen, Rick.”

“My bad, My bad. Don’t get angry, it will wrinkle our Ele’s beautiful face.”

“...”

‘Why did I even bothered to befriend a guy like him?’

At the beginning, Eleanora and Cedrick didn’t talked much or got along with each other much.

But then one day during the battle, Eleanora who was 16 at that time didn’t realised that someone was going to attack her from behind as she was fighting three knights all alone from the front.

Alexander was also at a little distance.

At that moment when everyone thought Eleanora was about to get injured, A sudden blow of wind made the republican knights see nothing.

But when they finally opened their eyes, they couldn’t see Eleanora nowhere and before they could react, A piece of ice pierced through their chests.

H-How? She isn’t here...

As they fall on the ground, their eyes widened in shock as they finally saw where she was.

Eleanora was standing still on air and she also used her ice magic from above.

This was why they failed to find her.

Cedrick sighed in relief as he succeeded into protecting her.

As a wind mage, he couldn’t fight with swords and only help a little.

But who knew, he could become a assist mage?

[A/N: Assist mage- Those who can’t fight directly but help others to fight more powerfully.

Like Cedrick can’t fight with wind magic but if he helps Eleanora who is a ice sword master to fly with his magic, it will increase her attack efficiency.]

Everyone else was shocked too after seeing this. Both of them come from rival family and coincidentally their powers is suitable with each other and can be merge together?

From then on, Cedrick and Eleanora started to spend more time together as they studied their powers.

As both of them stayed together most of the time to train, just by saying ‘They’ everyone would understand it was Eleanora and Cedrick.

The owner of the ‘Wind Sword’.

Cedrick’s wind powers help her to fly and shoot her magical ice swords right at the aim.

This is why after they successfully merged their powers, they named it ‘Wind Sword’.

They succeeded into merging their powers together, which helped to end the fight with less lose.

Their friendship gradually got stronger as they started to call each other by their first names to call the nicknames in private.

The Empire’s army was also fighting safely as the emperor and Duke Dalton planned.

Eleanora also helped her father with her past memories of this battle, as she doesn’t know her father remembers their past life even now.

This had took longer time to win the battle but this reduced the death and injuries of the knights.

.....

After four long years, this will be the last battle they will fight here.

As Eleanora’s eighteen birthday was approaching and also her coming of age ceremony which she didn’t celebrated in her last life, she was excited to end the battle and return to celebrate it.

Return with victory, celebrating her coming of age ceremony and then taking the knight oath.

Everything seem to be going perfectly according to her plans.

But she didn’t expected her mood to be ruined by this barbarian army sent by the Republic Kingdom.

“Augh... Hearing their horrible laughter is giving me headache.”

Eleanora spoke in disgust, where Cedrick just sighed while waiting for Alexander to come.

“Okay, Let me give you a massage after we go back.”

“I won’t refuse your kindness, You massage is more comfortable then my holy power-”

“Ele!!”

Eleanora stopped on her words as a arrow passed right by her face and Cedrick screamed in horror.

“Heh- You bastards...Can they take responsibility if my face get a cut mark and I don’t look good anymore?!”

“...”

‘Indeed, A girls cares for her face the most.’

A faint blood drop appeared on her face from the cut on her cheeks because of the sharp arrow.

Eleanora brushed her thumb on her face and used her holy powers to heal it. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

The cut immediately disappeared from her cheeks and become smooth like before again.

‘Wait... something feels wrong!’

“Ele, No!!”

Sensing that she was about to burst out her magic powers, Cedrick tried to stop her but it was too late as she had already to ran towards the barbarian enemies.

Cedrick sighed as he picked up the blue ribbon from the ground which had fallen from her hair after it got loosened.

‘Why is she so reckless? Always making people worry for her.

I better follow her too. The Duke will bury me alive if something happens to her.’

Even Alexander can’t stop her, let alone him. So there is no use of talking here.

They made the first move and irritated her, also made a scratch on her most precious treasure; which is her face.

So it’s their fault but still seeing the big barbarian army in-front of him, Cedrick couldn’t help but get a little nervous.

He just hoped for Alexander to come fast.

Shaking off his head to stop his useless thoughts away from his mind, Cedrick also used his magic powers to catch up with her for help.

“Well, there we go for nothing...”
