Saving The Abandoned Empress-Chapter 113

113 “Drunk Emperor”

“Your Majesty! Watch out!”

Eleanora spoke as she hold the emperor, who was about to bump into a wall in an drunken state.

She sighed in relief as she caught him in time but then Cathain walked towards a mirror and stared at it for some time.

‘What is he doing there now?’

Which made Eleanora wonder what he was doing there and approached him.

“Mirror mirror on the wall, tell me who loves me the most in the world?”

“...”

Eleanora straightened her lips to not laugh. She can’t laugh at the emperor no matter what he does.

‘But talking with the mirror and asking that kind of question?! No wonder why he never gets drunk infront of anyone.’

.....

She tried to conceal her laughter and stare him to keep an eye, so that he won’t bump into walls again.

Where Cathain kept staring at the mirror with a solemn expression.

“Huh? You can’t reply? Then let’s change the question!!”

“...”

“Mirror mirror on the wall, tell me who hates me the most in the world?”

“...”

“Wait!! You don’t need to say! I know this one!”

Cathain spoke excitedly as he pulled Eleanora infront of the mirror.

Wrapping her hands around her waist, he hugged her from the behind as he kissed her cheeks.

“My empress hates me the most...”

“...”

Eleanora, who had yet to react from his sudden kiss become more stunned as she heard him.

She become silent and let him bury his face into her shoulder but soon she changed her mind as Cathain bite her shoulder.

“Agh! Your Majesty!!”

“Lemme eat my white cake...”

“That’s my shoulder not white cake!!”

‘I should have left him on the road!!’

Sometime ago~

“His Majesty is drunk, Lady Dalton.”

“...”

Brayden, who was holding the almost sleeping emperor spoke as he came to Eleanora.

Cathain’s face looked pale as his cheeks become red because of the alcohol.

But Eleanora looked at them with a poker face as she couldn’t understand what that have anything to do with her.

‘What am I supposed to do then? Dance?’

Sensing Eleanora’s silent criticism, Brayden couldn’t help but give her an awkward smile.

‘Why would his Majesty get drunk if it wasn’t for you?’

“Where is his partner? Give him to her. I can’t carry him.”

“...”

Brayden was speechless. How could the future empress hand the emperor to someone else like he is nothing but some accessory?

No wonder, the emperor had to get drunk to get closer to her.

‘If someone else touches me except her, I will turn your marquise Hill state into a mountain hill, My dear clever aid Brayden Hill...’

Brayden gulped as he remembered the emperor’s threat before he started to drink with all the nobles who toasted him.

Normally he would refuse, but today he saw that as an opportunity.

Seeing there was no other way, Brayden pushed the emperor into Eleanora’s embrace, who was standing at a corner to avoid the crowd.

‘Am sorry, my ladyship!!!!’

“Agh! Hey, Sir Brayden!!!”

“I have some really important works to do, My lady! Please escort him to his bedroom safely!”

Brayden instantly fleed from the scene and went to inform everyone in the way to the emperor’s palace to not show up.

He felt really proud on himself and expected a pay raise because of his clever idea.

There is no way that the emperor wouldn’t praise him because of his hard work.

Brayden doesn’t lack money but it doesn’t stop him from making more money.

Otherwise Eleanora might just dump the emperor to any knight and go back. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

Then the next day, the emperor will kill him as soon as he waked up.

So he completely ignored the Eleanora, who was completely unseen because of Cathain’s tall and muscular body over her.

Only her hands, which was extended to stop Brayden could be seen.

In the end, Eleanora had no choice but to carry a person who is a foot taller then her to the emperor palace.

‘Augh! Why is he so heavy?!’

She felt her body breaking up because of his weight that she rather fight another war then carrying him.

And as Brayden thought, Eleanora indeed wanted to dump Cathain to any knights and then return.

But because of his cunning head, Eleanora could only carry Cathain, who took a step forwarded and then swayed right and left.

Making Eleanora feel dizzy, who only reached his chest.

“Where is your partner now?! You came with her, danced with her, So why didn’t you let her accompany you to your bedroom?!”

Eleanora spoke in an irritated voice. There was no one on the way, which means she have to carry this burden all the way to the emperor’s palace from the central palace.

They have already entered the emperor’s palace, which usually takes 10 minutes from the central palace but because of Cathain’s swaying while walking, it took them one hour.

But Cathain stopped as he heard Eleanora and turned to look at her with a serious face.

“...”

At first Eleanora was a little stunned to see his serious expression but soon she started to laugh because of his pouting.

‘T-This is the first time i have ever seen him like this! This is so hilarious!’

But soon Eleanora’s laughing stopped as he got closer to her.

Eleanora lifted her head to meet Cathain’s red eyes, which seem to get more darker.

She unconsciously took a step back in nervousness, where Cathain took a step forwarded towards her.

This time, Cathain wasn’t swaying as he walked, which made Eleanora wonder if he was just pretending to be drunk before.

“Ouch!”

Eleanora felt pain as her back hit the wall and she was even more stunned as Cathain bent down to meet her eyes as he placed his hands on the wall to trap her.

“Are you jealous, My empress?”

“...h-huh?”

Eleanora was speechless. She brushed off the idea of Cathain being not drunk.

‘Me and jealous? That too for him? It’s simply impossible!!’

Cathain’s lips curved up a little as he got a little more closer to her, brushing his nose with her.

Eleanora could smell the strong scent of alcohol coming from him.

‘So, he is indeed drunk.’

“Tell me, Are you jealous?”

.....

“No, Am not.”

“Too bad, because i was...”

“You was jealous?”

Eleanora tried to move her face as she spoke.

Because everytime his hot breath fall on her face, she felt weird.

But right then, Cathain cupped her cheeks into his hand to stop her from turning away.

She felt flare sparkling on her skin as he touched her like always.

Her neck started to feel burning because of his hot gaze on her.

“I wish i could chop of his hands which touched you...”

“Did i chopped off lady Raven’s hands because she touched you-”

Eleanora stopped on her words as she widened her eyes in shock, where a devilish smile appeared on Cathain’s face as he heard her.

‘Why does my words sounded like i was jealous? That’s not true... I was just replying to him while using his own words!’

Eleanora started to feel more uncomfortable in his embrace, so she tried to bent down and escape from the side but she was too slow.

Cathain was used to her various tricks of running away, so he moved his hands and placed them on her thighs to lift her up.

“Kya! Your Majesty! Get me down! Get me down!” f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Cathain was already tall, so as he lifted her up straight, Eleanora felt like she will fall if he moves.

She placed her hands on his shoulders to not fall and wrapped her legs around his waist as he pinned her down against the wall.

‘This... Something is not right.’

Eleanora felt nervous as Cathain kept staring at her with heavy eyes.

Then he leaned on her chest with his head down as he spoke.

“I missed you so much...”

“...”

‘H-He missed me?’

Eleanora was surprised to hear that from him directly. But that also explained his countless letters and visits during the war break.

She always avoided him as she feared the upcoming future, specially when Jennifer appeared.

She was afraid of seeing him smiling while thinking of someone else.

She already thought of give them her blessing and protect herself and her duchy this time.

So, she kept avoiding him till now.

“Why did you never replied? Do you know how sad i used to be when i saw him with you? When i heard his magic is compatible with you?!”

“...Calm down, Your Majesty.”

Eleanora spoke hesitantly as Cathain’s grip on her waist tightened up as he spoke.

“Why is your magic can be fused with his but not me?”

“Well, we have never tried to fuse our powers together.”

Eleanora spoke gently as she somehow found his naggings cute, she felt laughing when Cathain looked up in surprise after hearing her.

“So, you will try to fuse our powers together?!”

“Only if our powers is compatible then, we can.”

A smile appeared on Cathain’s face and his eyes lit up as he spoke.

“I will be the one to help you instead of that blonde dog!”

“...”

‘Just when will he stop calling Cedrick the blonde dog?’

Eleanora sighed as she opened her mouth to speak again, because magic fusion is very rare and moreover it has never happened between the imperial family and the Dalton’s.

Because both of them has exact opposite powers.

It’s not easy to mix fire and ice together and no one knows what kind of power it will be when they will be combined together.

“Magic fusion isn’t easy...”

Eleanora couldn’t finish her words as Cathain twirled her around in excitement.

“Put me down! I will fall, your Majesty!”

Eleanora spoke with her eyes closed as she feared that she might fall but Cathain spoke with a gentle voice as he smiled at her.

“Don’t worry; I will always be there to catch you no matter how many times you fall, My empress...”
