Saving The Abandoned Empress-Chapter 115

115 “Her Ideal Type”

Alexander, who couldn’t enter the emperor’s bedroom to take away his daughrer waited outside of the emperor’s bedroom door all night; Without closing his eyes for a moment.

The guards outside stopped him and he also didn’t wanted to make a scene at late night.

If words goes out, it will only harm his daughter and ruin her reputation in the upper noble class.

Which is the only reason why he didn’t break the door and take her out.

‘Only if i had came earlier and take her away earlier in the last life...’

Alexander thought as he stood outside of the room all night.

So, as soon as the guards went to change their shift and the emperor came out; Alexander pushed him on a corner without thinking much.

The emperor will put him into the prison again?

He is not afraid of that!

.....

Alexander grabbed the emperor’s collar as he spoke furiously, but the emperor just let him do whatever he wanted and sneered.

“Woah, Calm down, Father-in-law! Are you even cursing the emperor, your son-in-law now?”

“Stay away from her!”

Alexander spoke as he gritted his teeth. His daughter might be fooled and emotional but he is not.

But Cathain just sneered again as it felt he has heard something funny.

“That’s impossible, Father in law...”

“You!”

“I what? A bastard? Well, I don’t mind being a bastard if it means I can get her...”

“You are going crazy again! Don’t forget what you promised!”

Cathain’s hands tighten into a fist as Alexander mentioned the promise.

If it wasn’t for that, would some randome guy got the chance to get closer to her?

Cathain took a deep breathe to control himself as the person infront of him is his father-in-law, whose tressure he is going to steal.

It’s better if he successes into coaxing his father-in-law because the person who will interfere between them will be her father for sure.

But seeing the situation, it doesn’t seem like he can coax his father-in-law.

So he has only one choice now... Force!

Cathain narrowed his eyes as he looked at Alexander with a cold face as he moved Alexander’s hands away from his coller and whispered in a murderous tone.

“I remember my promise really well, but that can’t stops me...

You should be thankful that i have changed and respect your daughter’s will as well you.

Otherwise your daughter would already be mine, either willingly or forcefully... Father-in-law!”

Cathain spoke as he patted on Alexander’s shoulder and left.

Where, Alexander clenched his fists and punched the wall in frustration; making the wall crack a little.

‘There is no way i will let the killer of my daughter take her away from me this time! Even if i have to be the villain of the story...’

“Daddy!!”

Alexander’s eyes widened in surprise as he heard Eleanora’s voice, who came to him while running.

“Daddy! What happened to your hands?!”

“...Nothing.”

“You are bleeding! How could be this nothing?!”

Eleanora spoke in an concerned voice as she blow on her father’s wound with a worried face.

Seeing her like this, Alexander’s mind calmed down and he patted her head softly.

“Let’s go back home first, Ele.”

‘Huh?’

Eleanora looked at her father, who was just saying some simple words but yet, they didn’t felt that simple to her.

But still, she happily agreed as that was her home and the person infront of her is Alexander, her father who loves her the most.

“Okay, Daddy.”

Eleanora left the imperial palace happily without noticing someone’s sinister gaze on them.

Where, Alexander’s eyes lit up a little as he sensed someone else’s present and watching them.

‘The game has finally began...’

...

‘D-Did i took them off in my sleep, last night?!’

‘How could i do this?!’

‘Before i was younger so it didn’t mattered if i slept beside him or not but now am also an adult... how could i fall asleep so easily and took off my dress?!’

Eleanora wanted to hit her head on a wall but also knew it would hurt.

So she just sighed and made up her mind to not do this kind of things again.

As soon as she took off her dress for bath, her gaze fall on the littlr bruised mark on her shoulder.

Which has been left by Cathain last night, when he bite her.

‘I also forgot to ask him about how he did that goddess mark...’

Eleanora was lost in her thoughts when she heard a knocking on the door.

“My lady, The D-Duke...”

“What happened to my father?!”

‘Father is also here?’

“Well, The duke and his Majesty are fighting! My Lady, please stop them!”

The comb which Eleanora was using to comb her hair fall from her hands, as the scene of her father being locked up in the prison from her past life came to her mind.

Alexander’s voice from her last life kept repeating on her mind and her heart sank in fear.

‘What is the meaning of this?!’

‘You think you can humiliate my family like this and I’d just continue to loyally serve you?

She’s my daughter! The mother of our empire, your empress! And yet you let some mistress bear your child and name them heir?’

‘No, I have allowed you to disrespect her for too long, Your Majesty!

She is a daughter of the Daltons and deserves your respect, even if only purely for her Duke lineage.

To think you would throw her aside as if she was trash and impregnate another woman is totally unacceptable.’

‘You dare disrespect my daughter like that? How dare you?!’

Her father’s manic blue eyes as he launched himself with his sword across the table towards the emperor flashed like it was happening again to Eleanora.

She immediately got up from the chair and ran outside, only to find her father with a bloodied hand.

She smiled and pretended like she wasn’t afraid but deep inside, she was terrified.

‘Is this a warning for me that the past can repeat?’

‘Is this a sign that’s warning me to stay away from him?’

Eleanora took a deep breathe and calmed herself down.

‘Indeed, this is a warning sign for me... I shouldn’t be like this.

My fate can repeat again if i continue to be soft hearted for him just because he has changed.’

“Eat.”

Alexander’s voice echoed in the silent dining room, as he spoke and placed some food in Eleanora’s plate, who was in a daze.

“Yes.”

Eleanora silently ate the food as it was awkward after they returned from the imperial palace.

.....

She thought her father would scold him but he didn’t did so.

He just kept staring at her silently, Which made it hard for her to even sallow her food.

Eleanora kept her head down and eat as Alexander continued to watch her.

“That bastard didn’t did anything to you, right?”

‘B-Bastard? The emperor?!’

Eleanora was speechless. Why is their naming sense so weird?

[A/N: What she meant is, the emperor calls Cedrick Raven the blonde dog, where Duke Dalton calls the emperor a bastard.]

“O-Obviously nothing happened! Daddy.”

“Stay away from him in the future.”

Alexander spoke as he took a bite of his food and not getting any reply from Eleanora, he spoke again.

“...Reluctant?”

“N-No. I will keep that in mind.”

Eleanora spoke in nervousness. She has never seen Alexander so serious in this life.

But she also thought it was the best thing for her.

‘He must think am pathetic, who is clinging to the emperor even after i wanted to break off the marriage and he supported that.’

Because unlike her last life, Eleanora is not the dignified lady who conducted her manners appropriately like a proper lady.

She boldly wanted to cancel the marriage with the emperor, didn’t took any empress lessons, fought along with mens... 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

In one words, she did everything that a lady would never do.

In her last life, the crown prince bore all the criticism by sending his fiance to the war but in this life, she volunteered to do that.

After everything, now her actions seem like she still have lingering feelings for the emperor which would be a great embarrassing thing for her father, who wants to cancel the marriage.

Eleanora took a glance at her father, who was eating delightly.

The first duke of the empire, highest of all the nobles and the leader of the first squadron knights.

The empire’s greatest hero, who never lose a single war.

Compared to that, as his daughter, Eleanora will only bring shame if she keeps being soft hearted for the emperor.

She will become the laughingstock of the nobles, socially inept with no friends.

“Ele...”

Alexander’s words once again bought her back to the reality from sulking.

“Yes, Daddy?”

Eleanora asked but her heart was beating fast as she felt something was really wrong. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

“Can i ask you something?”

“Of course, Daddy.”

Alexander looked at her suspiciously without speaking as he put down his tea cup and waved at the maids to go out.

The maids politely bowed downand left after closing the door.

“...”

‘Why are you sending the maids out, Daddy?’

Eleanora felt so nervous that she feared that her father might even hear the sound of her fast beating heart.

‘Is he finally going to scold me for staying with the emperor last night?’

‘Well, I can’t blame him. It was indeed my fault last night. If words goes out, our family and he will become a laughing stock...’

But her father’s question, which he asked as he wiped his mouth and narrowed his eyes to look at her, shocked her so much that the fork fall from her hands directly on the ground.

“What do you look for in man, Your ideal type?”
