Saving The Abandoned Empress

79 Chapter 79 ~ “Obsessed Eyes”

Cathain felt his cheeks burn and his heart beating faster after Eleanora’s bold declaration.

‘Being her man, doesn’t sound bad....’

“I lied about you being my servert... in order to save you, hope you won’t mind.”

Eleanora lowly whispered to the blushing Cathain, who felt like he has been crush by a rock after hearing her words.

‘Ah... her man as a ‘servant’, not as a ‘lover’...?’

“Got it?”

‘I misunderstood again...’

“The man you just picked on is the knight my father arranged for me before he left, to protect me secretly in crowd!”

Both Baron Gold and Cathain was shocked upon hearing Eleanora, not to mention the dumbfounded crowd and the royal knights who knew nothing about this.

.....

‘What the?’

‘Her ladyship the crown princess had a secret knight?’

‘Huh?’

‘Seriously?’

Both Sir Anthony and Sir Raymond was shocked upon hearing this. They had been beside her for almost three years but never once they have noticed this young secret knight.

Then where did this secret knight came from?

But Baron Gold, who didn’t knew about this was easily fooled by Eleanora and started to shiver.

“Do you think you can mess around with Dalton knights, Baron Silver or whatever?”

Eleanora spoke in a cold and intimidating voice but didn’t noticed the upset Cathain behind her who let out a pitch black aura from him.

‘A guard??!!’

‘I was hoping she would say am her lover, Ah no, Man... Ugh! Whatever...! What’s wrong with me nowadays?!’

But Baron gold wasn’t someone to let it slight easily, especially after he was being humiliated by a mere girl!

How dare a girl talk back against a man like this?!

“Who... messed with who? Huh!

He should be punished as he pushed a noble!”

Both Eleanora’s and Cathain’s eyes turned dark as they saw Baron Gold running off his mouth where he should have just stayed silent.

Actually, The one who picked a fight first was Baron Gold.

“Did you see that blonde man?”

“Kya!! Even his cloak can’t hide his beauty!!”

Baron Gold couldn’t accept the fact as a noble that a commoner can be this attractive to take away the attention of a nobles arrival.

So he used his status to bully Cathain who was in disguise of Ain.

Of course Cathain wouldn’t let him bully him, so he wanted to teach him a lesson but Eleanora came to protect him.

Or actually worsen the situation a little bit?

“You ladyship, how can you ask me to apologise to a commoner like him?”

Baron Gold expressed as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

“This brat is obviously rebellious!!”

“...”

‘Can’t we just solve it by putting him in prison and torture him to get some information?’

‘There is no point of quarreling with this fat pig.’

Cathain thought in his mind but Eleanora just kept silent as she narrowed her blue eyes.

Haizz...

Eleanora sighed and finally decided to lay low as the crowd was getting bigger.

“Can you let it slide this time? My knight comes from the countryside, so he doesn’t know much about manners.”

“??!!”

Cathain was dumbstruck as he was forced to have another background as a country boy... who seem to have sell apples and cow milk?!

“Of course, it’s my fault to not teach him properly.”

Baron Gold felt proud as he thought Eleanora was finally being humble... if he could get some money from her...

But soon his dreams to get money was crashed by Eleanora as she started to speak again.

“Abuse me then!”

“Abuse me the way you did to my guard!!”

“?!”

Cathain waa stunned. Was she... sharing good and bad with him... like how husband and wife do?

Where Baron Gold Panicked.

“How... How can i do that to your ladyship?”

‘She is more dangerous then she looks... One that people would choose to not mess with. But weirdly that attracts me more towards her...’

Cathain glanced at Eleanora who spoke in a way that made the crowd think that it was Baron Gold who is making it hard for a little girl.

Where she is the actual one who is pushing him to surrender.

‘This little bitch! She knows i can’t do that to the crown princess, let alone her being the lady Dalton and the saintess!’

‘Damn it!’

But Baron Gold had no choice but to give up and surrender to Eleanora. Like he did before with Ain because he was the superior.

Eleanora was the superior of him here despite her being younger.

“I have made a mistake, Please forgive me my ladyship, the crown princess.”

Baron Gold apologised but Eleanora wasn’t satisfied with it.

“The one you should apologise to is my guard, not me...”

Baron Gold put on a dumbfounded look while clenching his fist like he had misunderstood Ain.

“Haha... I think it was only a misunderstanding of mine... Hahaha...”

‘Damn it! Why do i have to apologise to a Commoner?!’

‘He’s insolent since he has this little bitch backing up for him! This bastard!’

But then he was surprised as Cathain’s killer gaze fall on him, which seem to pierce him into pieces.

‘What’s with those eyes...??!’

“Please...please excuse me...”

‘You are Baron Gold right? I will remember you, dare to make my girl talk so long?’

Cathain was fuming in anger and watch as the baron fleed in panick.

“Ain... my hand hurts...”

Eleanora spoke in a low voice and Cathain finally remembered that he was holding her hands.

‘Oh shit!’

“Am... Am sorry, Are you okay?”

“Yeah am okay. You must have been very scared.”

“...”

“I thought something might happen to you...”

“...”

‘Did she thought i was bullied by that man?’

.....

Although it was a little disgrace for him if he let her think of her as a weak man... but being protected by her feels good too.

And... one should take advantage of the situation, Right?

Eleanora was a little stunned to see him staying silent, which Ain rarely does.

‘Why is he silent so suddenly? What is he thinking?’

But then she felt goosebumps as Cathain narrowed his eyes and took her hands into his hands again.

Cathain removed his cloak from his head, revealing his handsome face and moved closer to Eleanora.

Eleanora, who was dumbstruck, took a step back but Cathain wrapped his hands around her waist to prevent her falling down.

“Your ladyship, Thank you for saving me.”

‘Oh...?’

“Ohhh myyy!!! Kyaaa!!!”

Their scene was like a romantic scene about a lady who protected her knight, to the onlooker ladies.

But Eleanora was shocked to find Ain being so obedient all of a sudden.

‘Is this the same man who goes around calling me Ele all day?’

For the first time, Eleanora felt like she was getting dragged into something... which is going to devour her completely.

“I was confused a little because i am a lowly commoner, Fortunately your ladyship has shown up.”

“...Okay, Okay, Stand up...”

Eleanora retreated her eyes from him and wanted to take away her hands from his grip.

But then Cathain’s lips curled up as he loosened his grip a little from her waist to let her sway a little then tighten his grip over her waist again.

“Ah... Oh, Thank y-”

Eleanora froze. Seeing Ain up so close, she finally found what was the only similarity in Cathain and Ain.

‘Their gaze...’

Both of their gaze was the same... which wanted to possess her, have her and devour her completely into them.

Full of obsession and desire to possess her.
