Saving The Abandoned Empress-Chapter 153 - 153 "Do You Like Him?"

153 “Do You Like Him?”

Eleanora stared at Cathain with shock as she heard his declaration of war against Kingdom Rua.

‘The war should have happened two years later… why it’s happening now?’

‘Is it because i changed the past?’

‘Even the emperor died early in this life time…’

‘Am i the cause?’

“Last night, the confidential information about soldiers got stolen.”

The emperor spoke and the meeting room was filled with murmuring’s.

Everyone was shocked to know that Kingdom Rua went that far as to steal the soldier information.

“!!!”

.....

‘What? How could this happen?’

‘This means, They already know how many swordmaster and mages we have in our army...’

‘They will be prepared before hand.’

“That person was caught and after negotiations, it was revealed that it was a spy from Kingdom Rua.

So, we need to attack before they can.”

Cathain explained the situation and everyone started to ponder about the situation in a serious mood.

The opponent knows everything about the imperial soldiers, where they don’t know much.

It would be tough to win.

The war is more like a bet this time.

“Okay. I will prepare the army and lead them.”

Duke Dalton spoke as he thought a lot about this.

This thing never happened in the past. It would be better if he goes and let Eleanora stay in the empire.

Who knows what kind of danger there might be waiting for them?

But the emperor had something else on his mind.

“No, Duke Dalton. You won’t participate this time. You will stay behind with other dukes and protect the Capital.”

“!!!”

“What-?”

“Who will fight then, Your Majesty?”

“Duke Dalton is one of the most powerful swordmaster in the empire.”

“If he doesn’t goes-”

“I WILL GO THIS TIME.”

Cathain cut off everyone in the middle of their sentences and spoke.

“This time, i will personally led the imperial army.”

Eleanora was shocked.

This is different from her past life too.

In the past, the emperor didn’t joined the war at start and only joined in the end when she was faced with the king of Rua.

Then why is he joining this time at the beginning?

“I will lead the army along with the crown princess, Dame Dalton; Duke Richardo, Young Duke Cedrick De Evan Raven along with his sister Jennifer De Liana Raven.”

“...”

“...”

Both Cedrick and Dion was speechless. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Dion didn’t wanted to participate at all because he couldn’t transform into a wolf during the fight.

Which meant he had to exhaust his physical strength and pretend to be a human by using only magic!

And Dion didn’t wanted that.

‘I understand why he targeted this guy, but why me?! I never even got close to her-‘

But then he remembered.

The seat beside him seem to be hers, right?

‘Don’t tell me he targeted me because of this?!’

Where, Alexander frowned as he heard the emperor’s plan.

‘He will lead the army with a whole teenage group?’

‘Not like i don’t know their ability but it’s too risky.’

Cathain De Valerian Valentino, the young emperor of the empire have the purest fire mana with great damaging affect only at the age of 22.

Eleanora Ariadne La Dalton, the youngest dame and the first female knight of the empire, who is only 18 has the rare ice magic which have the great attacking powers.

Not to mention her holy powers which has the most powerful healing affect and her ‘Wind Sword’ magic fusion with Cedrick Raven.

Cedrick De Evan Raven, the first ever assist mage of a different attribute power holder; who is also keen at war strategies can be called a genius assistant in both battlefield and plannings.

Alberto De Dion Richardo, the youngest duke of the empire possess both werewolf powers and magic powers like humans, which is completely rare.

Not to mention Jennifer De Liana Raven, who owns twin magic.

She got her mother’s dark powers and her father’s earth attribute.

But unlike her brother who can use wind, she got the nature healing power which helps her heal people by using the plants as source of her powers.

And there is no information about Duke Heartz son, who stays in the magic tower all day.

No one has ever seen him, can be said they actually forgot his existence.

The Empire’s current leading generation was indeed powerful but still it was risky.

Alexander got what the emperor meant.

In that confidential documents, only their information was excluded.

They won’t know about their abilities well, like they already knows about others.

Specially Duke Alexander De Xavier Dalton.

They must have already found a way to deal with him beforehand.

But Alexander can’t let his daughter to be the bet of the emperor.

If his plan fails, Eleanora will be in danger.

He still remembers how Eleanora put her sword on her neck in the battlefield in their previous life.

She would rather give up her life then surrender.

She had accepted her death along with her child, instead of running away too.

Alexander can’t let that happen again.

‘She will be in danger, something feels terribly wrong...’

Where Eleanora was confused.

She could get why Cathain wanted to take them and let her father stay, but why is he taking Jennifer with them?

[A/N: Eleanora doesn’t know that Jennifer have magic powers yet. As in her last life, Jennifer never used magic to conceal her identity before Eleanora’s death.]

‘Is he taking the battlefield as a dating spot?’

But then, Eleanora paused on her thoughts.

A few days ago, he didn’t even looked at Jennifer and carried her away from the garden.

Both of them felt a little awkward and didn’t knew what to talk about after he took her to in his study room.

Then Brayden came with some reports which gave her an excuse to leave and since then, she tried her best to avoid him.

.....

‘What’s he planning to do exactly?’

“Your Majesty, it would be very risky to sent all the young heirs. If something happens-”

“Duke Heartz, Are you questioning my decision?”

The emperor’s words made Duke Heartz stop on his question.

But most of the nobles was concerned about this problem.

What if the heirs gets injured?

Who will continue the family legacy?

And moreover, many of them didn’t participated on wars before.

“Either you or your heir can participate in the war but Duke Dalton and Raven won’t participate in this war.

They can only sent their heirs and, this is an imperial order.”

“Yes, Your Majesty”

Alexander clenched his first as he bow down to the emperor.

He had no choice but to accept it.

He can’t disobey for the blood oath he had taken during his knighting ceremony to always be loyal and obey the imperial family.

“Duke Dalton,”

“Am all ears, Your Majesty.”

“Merge the first and second squadron along with the imperial army, make three squad of army by mixing them together.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Duke Richardo,”

“Am all ears, Your Majesty.”

“Prepare the medical team and discuss with Duke Dalton to make a small team of knights, so that they can protect the doctors as they don’t know how to fight.

Doctors are the one who will be our advantage in need, so teach them some self defence for the worst case.

We can’t afford to lose them as there are not many doctors at the first place.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Duke Heartz, make a necessary budget for the war along with Duke Raven...”

The discussion went on and Eleanora looked at Cathain with amusement.

It’s been just two weeks since he lost his memory but still he managed to learn about everything in this short moment.

No one can say that this man doesn’t remember anything about the past seven years.

But then Cathain looked back at her, which finally made her realise that she has been staring at him.

That too infront of everyone!

“Do you have something to say?”

“N-No, Your Majesty.”

Eleanora felt so embarrassed that she wanted to hide herself in a hole.

“The meeting is adjourned. You all should prepare as i told you to do. Report to Sir Brayden if you face any difficulties.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The emperor left the meeting room with his personal knights following him out and Eleanora sighed in relief.

She doesn’t know why, but she feels weird around him now. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

‘He gives the superior aura now, which maked people submit to him unconsciously.’

Eleanora know this answer too, which she doesn’t want to admit.

The past him was always careful to not make her feel uncomfortable, so he always maintained his aura around her.

This was why she never felt the superior pressure of him till now.

Only when she takes the knight oath to swear her loyalty to him or becomes his partner, which will fusion their magic powers to feel the presence and emotions of each other; she wouldn’t be affectef by his superior aura anymore.

Her father isn’t affected at all because of his blood oath, which is different from the knight oath.

Blood oath not only makes the person stay loyal all his life but also submit them even if they don’t want it.

If one betrays the oath, the person will suffer great conscious.

‘But still father was ready to suffer this because of me in my past life by attacking the emperor...’

Eleanora stood up from her seat and approached Alexander, who was in a gloomy mood.

“Daddy, Don’t worry... I will be safe.”

Eleanora spoke with a smiling face but Alexander’s face darkned more.

“Daddy... What happened?”

Alexander opened his mouth to ask something but then he decided not to.

“Forget it...nothing.”

“No, Tell me!!”

Alexander sighed as he looked at her beautiful face.

“Elee... Do you like...him?

…The emperor?”
