119 “Only I Can Touch The Moon”

[WARNING: This chapter contains little mature content in the end]

Eleanora picked up her sword again as she watched the other knights to rush up and help Victor to the medical room.

Her eyes turned cold as she watch the show infront of her.

They was expecting her to lost, but now that she has won, they don’t find it pleasing.

No one is looking towards her anymore.

As Eleanora walked down from the battle podium, she saw Cedrick whose green eyes was looking proud because of her victory.

‘One friend with good will is enough then having ten friends.’

Eleanora thought as she walked towards Cedrick to have a side hug that they always does after their each victory.

A side hug is quite common between knights, so no one will overthink anything.

.....

But suddenly, Eleanora felt a hand wrap around her waist as someone hugged her from behind.

‘Not again, please!’

As Eleanora had expected, it was indeed the emperor who hugged her from behind and burried his face on her neck.

“Congratulations, My Empress.”

“...”

“...”

Eleanora was too embarrassed to move, where Cedrick didn’t knew either he should look away or keep staring.

Cathain looked up a little as his red eyes stared at Cedrick, his lips curved up a little as he hold her hands and entangled their fingers together before kissing her hands.

‘W-What is he doing?’

Eleanora frowned because of Cathain’s actions and turned her face to look at him but she froze.

Cathain’s sharp gaze was on Cedrick, like he wanted to kill him and Eleanora knew that he can really do that.

The past Eleanora didn’t feared the emperor for no reason.

...

Once, the empress had worn a trending dress which had revealed her cleavage a little bit.

Eleanora, who always dressed up conservatively had shocked everyone by her little revealing dress.

The dress she wore was not that revealing as the other ladies wear more revealing which was quite normal and acceptable.

But when Eleanora wear it, she looked stunning because of her curvy body.

Eleanora thought of going with the trend to please the emperor but he didn’t gave her any reaction as usual.

Everything was going well in the party when suddenly a drunk nobleman came to greet Eleanora, who was standing in a corner.

“Greetings, Her Majesty, the moon of our empire.”

“Please stand up...”

Eleanora spoke as she took a few steps back because that man looked drunk to her.

She can’t even do anything in the party, so she maintained her distance.

Seeing her steeping away, the man grinned as he looked up at her.

“Her Majesty is indeed the most beautiful moon of our empire...”

“Mind your manners!”

Eleanora spoke in a cold voice as she looked around.

She wanted to avoid the crowd thus she choosed a corner to stand, ordering all the knights to step away and guard the entrance.

‘How did he get in?’

Eleanora’s mind kept busy as she thought either she should take action like knocking him up if he does something.

Because even if nothing happens and she is unharmed, the upper class nobles will take the news lightly.

She doesn’t want to add another reason for the emperor to hate her.

As she was lost in thought, the man suddenly came closer and caught her hands with a sinister smile.

Eleanora got shocked and before she could punch the man, a sword appeared infront of hers and she felt something splashed on her.

“Aagh!!! My hand!!! My hand!!!”

Eleanora frozen as the man infront of her kept crying out loud in pain.

Her body started to tremble as she saw the hands which was touching her a moment ago on the ground, separated from the body.

The emperor stood still and bloods continued to drip from his sword as he spoke in a mocking voice.

“Too bad that you won’t be able to even see the moon in the sky.”

The emperor paused on his words as his red eyes was glued on the crying man on the ground.

He raised his sword again as he took out the man’s eyes.

“Let alone see the moon of the empire...”

“Aagh!!!”

Eleanora fall on the ground in horror as she looked at the man infront of her.

It wasn’t that she didn’t killed anyone till now, but that was all on battlefield.

But killing someone in such a brutal way just because he touched her, it was horrific to Eleanora.

Cathain’s red eyes coldly stared at the hands that he cut off and stomped on it.

‘Only i can touch the moon...’

Then he looked at the empress, who fall on the ground and kept on trembling.

The man’s cry had also stopped as he wasn’t breathing anymore.

Eleanora used her hands to step back as the emperor took steps towards her with a smile on his face.

“D-Don’t...Come near me... Aaa!”

Eleanora yelled as Cathain kneeled down on his knees to get closer to her and raised his hands to touch her face.

She thought he was going to strangle her but to her surprise, he started to wipe her face with his handkerchief.

Seeing her blue eyes trembling with fear and the tears on her face, The emperor’s smile grew more wider as he spoke.

“Oh? The bravest woman in the empire is now trembling in fear? that to towards this emperor?”

Eleanora hissed in pain as the emperor grabbed her chin and started to wipe the bloods of that man from her face gently.

The more gentle he was, the more afraid Eleanora became.

She knew that the emperor is only gentle and smiles like this when he is pissed off the most.

“Let’s go back, this filthy bloods isn’t coming off like how this flies doesn’t stop roaming around you.”

The emperor spoke as took off his robe and put it on her before he picked her up in bridal style.

“Clean up the mess.”

The emperor ordered his aid, who was also shocked from the scene infront of him.

Without waiting for his aid’s response, the emperor jumped down from the balcony with the empress on his embrace.

If he leaves from the main door, there would be rumors for sure, which he doesn’t want.

In the whole journey, Eleanora didn’t even moved an inch in fear and the emperor didn’t spoke anything either.

As soon as they reached the empress palace, The emperor got down while carrying her and directly went to her bedroom.

“Ah!”

Eleanora finally reacted in pain as the emperor threw her on the bathtub and poured cold water on her before he grabbed the soap to wash her.

“WHERE ELSE DID HE TOUCHED YOU?!”

The emperor yelled at her which made her cry in fear.

“Your Majesty... It’s cold, please stop!”

.....

Eleanora pledged to him but it seemed like he wasn’t hearing it and kept washing her body hard.

He kept washing her even after all the bloods was gone from her body.

“Cathain!!! You are hurting me!”

Eleanora yelled his name as she pushed him away and stood up in the bathtub with her drenched body.

As she pushed him with her mana, the emperor was forced to take a few steps back.

Eleanora become afraid as she thought he might get even more angry but to her surprise, he was calm as he looked at her with his bloody red eyes.

And then violently kicked the cabinet beside the bathtub which was used to keep necessary thing for bathing.

‘I-I have to leave...’

Eleanora thought as she saw how aggressive the emperor was but before she could step down from the bathtub, her chin was grabbed by him again.

“Yeah! Am the bad guy! It’s always me who is hurting you!”

“It hurts... Release me!”

“AM HURTING TOO!!”

Eleanora stopped struggling as she heard his words, which also stunned him too.

But soon, his little stunned face turned into sinistral smiling face again as he trailed his fingertips on her body.

“The empress likes to follow trends, right?”

Eleanora gulped in fear but she couldn’t even move because of his sharp gaze.

The emperor carried her on his shoulder swiftly as he walked out from the bathroom and threw her on bed as he climbed up on her.

He tore her dress apart with his bare hands, which made Eleanora tremble and become fearful of him.

Then he put his hands on his pocket and Eleanora was shocked to see what was on his hands.

“N-No...You can’t do this...”

The emperor smiled as he found her words funny.

“Why can’t i?”

The emperor spoke as he placed her both wrist above her head and cuffed her hands together with a silver handcuffs, which can even lock up ones mana.

“Open it, Your Majesty! Why are you doing this?”

Eleanora tried to take her hands out but she failed as she couldn’t even break it because of her mana being locked due to the silver cuffs.

The emperor smiled as he took his mouth near her ears to whisper.

“Why? I also want to follow the trend with my only empress.”

The emperor continued to spoke as he took a flower from the bed side table and move it slowly on her body, making her shiver.

“I heard that there is a trend where the man ties up the woman and then do it... Woman’s also likes it.”

“S-Stop it... I don’t like it!”

“Oh? But I specially ordered this handcuffs for my empress as i know my empress is very strong and will easily break free from those low quality toys...”

“Please, stop it...”

Eleanora pledged as a tear drop left her eyes because of him using his mana to heat her up.

She felt like her body was burning but unable to do anything.

“I wanted to give you a big surprise by trying it with you in the balcony, but who knew my empress also liked to follow this low trends like me and then attract filthy flies from everywhere?”

“I d-didn’t... Aah!”

“You didn’t?”

The emperor asked right after she spoke and slapped lightly on her private area.

Even if the slap was light, It was enough to stimulate her already heated up body.

“Tell me, for whom did you dressed up so beautifully? I have never seen you dress up like this in my life before today.”

Eleanora couldn’t reply as the emperor kept teasing her body with the flower and heating up her body with his mana.

Then his hands suddenly stopped teasing her as he spoke after a long pause.

“It wasn’t for that blonde dog, Right?”

“My empress?”
