Saving The Abandoned Empress Chapter 21

21 “Write Your Own Fate”

Eleanora’s pov ~

I saw Prince Dominic and the crown prince argue or talk about something but i couldn’t hear them and darkness slowly filled up my vision.

Silence started to ring in my ears and i couldn’t see or hear anything anymore. I started to feel cold again, like how i felt before i entered my dream.

“Eleanora, My child.”

Then i heard a sweet voice, calling for me. I couldn’t see any figure but i felt something warm, wrapping around my body.

The darkness started to fade as a shiny silver golden light filled up my vision.

I looked around here and there but i couldn’t see anyone. I heard that same sweet voice again.

“You can’t see me, My child. But i can see you.”

…..

“W-Who are you?” I asked.

I don’t know why, but i wasn’t feeling afraid of whoever it was. Rather, i felt familiar and comfortable.

“You don’t remember me yet, My child. But even if you don’t remember me, i can’t leave you alone anymore.”

I couldn’t understand her words and it seemed like she was able to read my mind as the warmness around me got more warm.

“Am giving back your past divine powers to you again… I hope, this time, you will live like you want, write your fate with your own hands… You are not in a dream of your memories, You were reborn again.”

“What do you mean?”

I really didn’t understand what she was saying and what powers?

“I can’t tell you everything my child, I just hope you will live with happiness in this third life of yours.

I couldn’t take you to another dimension this time because after you died in your last life, the world was full of chaos.

I hope you can save yourself and the world with your new powers this time. This power comes from your first life. Now go back and write your own fate.

Your children’s are waiting for you…”

‘My children’s?’

I wanted to ask for more but i was intrupted by her voice.

“I, Mother of all life, Thea, blesses the Valentino empire by passing my first daughter, saintess Ariande’s powers, to Eleanora, the daughter of Alexander Dalton, so that she can help the humanity.

From now on, Eleanora Dalton, will be the new holy saintess of divine powers, Eleanora Ariande La Dalton.

Her name means what she is.”

…

Eleanora, who was still in darkness didn’t knew about the chaos happening in front of her.

“I think it might be best not to touch her and inform the duke.”

Dominic said, blocking Cathain’s view to see Eleanora.

“What are you on about? I haven’t even done anything to her and she’s acting like a complete fool.”

Cathain gestured down at Eleanora.

“I’d say by the looks of things that she really doesn’t feel like being around you right now. Probably best to also keep in mind she’s not in a good health.”

Dominic replied and Cathain looked at him with a fiery eyes.

“How do you know that she isn’t in a good health?”

“Well, i was just passing by when i saw you accidentally push her into the pool then rescuing her and Duke Alexander to take her away.”

Dominic replied as he bent down and gently touched Eleanora’s trembling shoulder to calm her down.

“Don’t touch her!” Cathain yelled at him.

“She doesn’t belong to you.”

“Guess you didn’t hear the news yet, but she doesn’t ‘belong’ to anyone anymore.”

Dominic replied in a casual tone, completely unphased by the crown prince’s attitude.

“Besides, I don’t think I need to remind you, but you do realise that you’re not actually officially married yet, as someone didn’t attended the engagement ceremony right?”

“Doesn’t belong to anyone? What’s that supposed to mean? Even if i attended or not, She is the crown princess!”

“Probably best to have a chat with your father about this one. For now though,”

Dominic spoke as he scooped her tiny body up into his arms with ease.

“I think you’re giving the poor girl a panic attack with your fierce temper and eyes.”

Dominic was going to leave with Eleanora in his arms to take her to the duke but Cathain stepped forward, blocking him from exiting.

He puffed up his chest as if he was about to challenge Dominic right then and there for daring to touch what he believed was his.

Cathain had never loved Eleanora as per everyone but also knew that the emperor had loved to possess the empress in their past life.

He had kept her caged the entire time they were together, cutting off all ties of friendships she barely had or tried to make with anyone of worthy status.

So now, seeing someone else holding her like this right in front of him, how can he bear it?

Well, if Dominic wasn’t from an allied kingdom, he would have been dead or down in the cells already by now.

Or at least the emperor from their past would have done that. Seeing the two of them standing together was almost surreal.

Even though they were both still only fourteen year old teenagers, both of them stood tall and were as well-built as one would expect an future emperor to be.

Brayden, who was standing beside Cathain was terrified to think of what a fight between them would look like.

He knew that Cathain was like nothing else when it came to the battlefield.

Just like his father Emperor Valerian, who had become completely undefeated once he had ascended to power.

“Do you really want to start something with a kid having a mental breakdown in my arms?”

Dominic queried, tilting his head slightly to scrutinise Cathain with his eyes.

“Can’t we both agree that the best thing for her right now is to take her back to her father first? She was already in poor health when she came here and now she isn’t even responding or moving anymore.”

Cathain deflated, finally thought better of the situation but he was still determined to not let anyone else touch her.

He took the unresponsive Eleanora from Dominic’s arm and walked way like nothing happened.

Dominic lips curles up into a smrik as he thought,

‘Let’s see for how long you can keep her with you.’
