Saving The Abandoned Empress-Chapter 123

123 “Meet Again”

“MY LADY, WAKE UP!!”

A maid spoke as she burst open into the room without even knocking.

“What the, you are up already?”

The maid spoke in surprise as she saw the light blonde haired lady sitting on her bed.

“Well. You are lazy and don’t do anything all day except for worrying the duke, there should be days like this occasionally.”

The maid spoke as she moved the curtains away to open the window.

That maid was May, Jennifer’s personal maid, Who thought of her being a easy person.

So, she treated Jennifer to the point where it was hard to tell who was the master and who was the servant.

But in her last life, this same person treated her differently with full respect.

.....

‘So my value changed in this life because i am no longer useful?’

Jennifer thought on her mind.

The only reason she kept May around her was because May had only one good point in her.

That was, she could read the room and know when to stop.

Jennifer lazily looked up at May but her caramel brown eyes was sharp.

“You...”

“?!”

May was surprised to heard Jennifer’s cold voice, but she was even more shocked to hear the next sentence.

“Shut your mouth, you are too noisy and bring me water to wash my face.”

“W-What??? Did you just speak to me???”

May asked as her eyes widened in shock. Jennifer has never spoke no matter how rude she behaved.

“Is there anyone else in this room beside you?”

Jennifer asked as she exhaled her breath lazily.

“Don’t make me speak twice.”

“O-Okay...”

May replied as she stepped back as she suddenly felt a chill on her body.

‘What?’

‘Something is a bit strange.’

But May ignored the chill and put a bowl of water which splashed on Jennifer’s feet and throw a towel infront of her.

“Here!”

“...”

“I even got you a towel! Are you happy now?”

“...”

But Jennifer coldly stared at the bowl of water infront of her and then, she kicked the bowl in May’s direction.

“Kyaa!”

“...”

May stared at Jennifer with dumbfounded eyes as waters kept dripping down from her face.

“M-My lady?”

But Jennifer didn’t replied and kept staring at May with her sharp gaze. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

‘Seems like everyone forgot that i was the villainess of this story...

Even if i wear a white dress and pretend to be a princess, A villainess can never change her true nature under the disguise of the female lead.’

Where, May was still shocked.

Usually, Jennifer would tremble and obey to every words of May.

Even when May scolded Jennifer, she would just apologise saying that it was her fault to be lazy.

Which made May more bolder in the past four years, and everything was the same till yesterday.

But what happened today?

“You can’t even get the temperature of the water right?”

“?!”

“I can’t believe there is a maid who woild bring cold water for her lady and still keep her head up so high shamelessly.”

Jennifer’s eyes narrowed dangerously as she spoke, making May more tremble.

“If this is revealed, Do you think anyone would take your side when i whip and then kick you out?”

“!!!”

May was shocked to hear Jennifer’s words. She was speaking normally but the chilling aura around her was giving dangerous feel.

To warn people to not approch.

“Do you think a maid who was fired for such a reason would be accepted by any other household?”

“...! Th-That! I apologise, My lady!! am fetching the water right now!”

‘I was right...’

Jennifer’s lips curved up as she was right about May’s character.

‘It’s time for the villainess to appear again, to change the story.’

Soon, fresh water was bought infront of her and Jennifer washed her face.

May felt terrified as she thought how did things changed in one night?

Jennifer wasn’t even able to lift a finger against her yesterday let alone talking like this.

How did she changed so suddenly?

But the truth was, Jennifer was always like this.

She just wants to give the people around her a happy ending which she had snatched away from them.

Except this, she doesn’t even have a will to live anymore.

A father who only craves for powers, where the brother has become timid because of her father.

The emperor would loath her again if he remembers the past, where the empress would call her a betrayer for disguising as Liana.

Whom should she live for?

Then suddenly, Dominic’s face came into her mind but she quickly shake it off.

‘Don’t crave for love anymore Lennie, You don’t deserve him...’

...

‘Everything feels burdensome...’

Eleanora spoke in her mind with a gloomy expression as she walked.

‘Since lady Arlo’s birthday banquet is going to be grand and my first appearance in any social banquet, i just can’t choose a random gift...’

Where, everyone around her was being startled and gasped in panick.

‘Moreover...’

The people around her kept flinching as they saw the crowd of knights behind her.

‘To think there would be so many people to accompanying me, when am only out to shop!’

‘I won’t give you permission to go out if you don’t take a knight along with you... Ele.’

Alexander spoke as he wiped his mouth after finishing his breakfast.

He doesn’t trust the crazy emperor an ounce, specially after what the emperor wrote in the letter.

.....

Who knows if the emperor suddenly goes berserk and kidnaps his daughter when he is not beside her to protect?

So, Alexander decided to sent his most trusted knight to protect his daughter.

‘It’s not just one knight but several knights, Daddy!!’

‘A total of twelve knights, Twelve!!’

Eleanora felt extremely burdened because of the knights following her and crowded the streets which made everyone stare at her likr she was marching.

‘Hah...i just want to live quitly and shop silently but the people around me are making it impossible.’

And then, lady Eleanora and her twelve knights finally reach their destination.

“A-Are you sure, it’s here, My lady?”

The head knight of the team behind Eleanora asked in confusion.

The shop infront of them didn’t looked like a shop but like some slum instead. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

Even the door was cracked.

“Yes, it’s here.”

Eleanora spoke as she stepped inside the shop, where the knights glanced at the extravagant shop beside them.

A bell ringed as the cracked door was pushed open by Eleanora to enter the shop.

The whole shop was messy, things was thrown here and there and a gloomy person was sitting inside with his head down.

The young man was quite handsone but because he didn’t combed his hair and his white shirt was full of paint colours, it made him look shabby and haggard.

He didn’t even looked up before he started to speak.

“My apologise, but am not really...in the condition to make anything right now... I don’t know from which family the lady belongs to, but please go to the next shop beside it...”

“My lady, It’s better if we go to the next door-”

The head knight spoke but Eleanora smiled as she approached him confidentally.

“No, we are at the right place.”

Hearing Eleanora’s words, the man finally looked up and felt like his surrounding has becomr bright as a angle came down on earth to him.

“I would like to commission you, Young master Axion Spade.”

Eleanora spoke but Axion kept staring at her with his sky blue coloured eyes.

The more he stared at, the more lost he felt in her jewel blue eyes.

“...Why me? There are so many talented people...”

“Because only you can make what i want.”

Axion blushed as he heard her words and turned around to leave, not looking at her anymore.

“P-Please leave, As you can see am not in the condition to create anything now...”

“But i believe in you...”

Axion stopped on his tracks as he heard Eleanora’s words. It’s been so long since someone said those words to him.

From his childhood, everyone praised his older brother Ian Spade for being exceptionally good at crafting and regarded him as the next count heir of the Spade’s because of this.

He was always ignored and lived in the shadow of his older brother, feeling inferior.

So now, someone was finally telling him that she believed in him; how could he not feel touched.

Axion looked back with doubts and asked lowly.

“B-Believe in me?”

“Yes.”

Eleanora’s answer was short but the assurance in her tone told him that she truly believed in him.

“I have absolute faith that you will be able to magnificently produce creations better then anyone else, Young master Axion.”

‘That’s because you will become the best craftsman in the empire soon!’

Eleanora spoke in her mind where shiny light sparkled everywhere around Eleanora in his eyes.

which made a tear drop coming out from Axion’s eyes.

“Ah, i got something in my eyes-”

Axion spoke but Eleanora was lost in her mind.

‘I finally meet you again, Axion Spade...’
