Saving The Abandoned Empress Chapter 75

Chapter 75 ~ “Liana To Jena”

As long as Liana could remember, she always roamed around the street, doing little works just for a piece of bread.

Then suddenly one day, she was caught as a slave and had to work in a farm.

She was not the only one, there was many more girls like her. It was where Liana meet her sworn older sister Jena.

Liana and Jena become each others Lennie and Jennie as they started to spent more time together.

Till one day, Jena was sent to the viscounts estate to work forcefully. Liana knew they wasn’t taking her just as a worker.

Liana promised Jena that she will come and find her again.

While looking for her sister, her biological father, Duke Evan Raven found her.

She only had one wish from her father, help her to find Jena.

But it was too late… when she finally found Jena again, she was killed long ago as the ban for slaves law was created.

…..

She got to know from her father that it was the empress who proposed the law of ban slave system from this empire.

As for those who was already a slave, Duke of Dalton killed them all under the emperors order.

Obviously, Liana who never knew how politics worked trusted and believed her father’s words.

She wanted to avenge Jena and the other slaves who was killed unjustly.

From Jennifer Liana Raven, she become Jena; The mere palace maid.

Unlike her older brother Cedric Raven, who had nature power as the duke; Liana had dark attribute powers.

The duke had pampered her, loved her… she thought it was because she is his daughter.

But the truth was cruel. He only liked her because of her usefulness, who trusted her father blindly.

Jena started to control Cathain’s mind and emotions, it was more easy as he was already poisoned for a long time.

Duke Raven had colluded with Kingdom Rua and got a poison which had no antidote.

Only pure holy powers could suppress it but not heal fully.

Jena found it weird but as she continued to see how cruel Cathain and Eleanora was during meetings, she was sure her father had reasons.

How can they threaten others to give in?

Jena continued to control Cathain’s mind as the duke kept mixing poison in both Cathain and Eleanora’s food with the help of Eleanora’s maid Rena.

Eleanora suffered two miscarriages and Cathain’s temper started to get worse.

Finally the duke ordered Liana to sleep with Cathain to take advantage of the situation and get Eleanora out of their way.

She killed her sister, so many people, it’s only justify to redeem with her death.

But no matter what, Liana found it disgracing to sleep with someone else man.

She is doing it to avenge her sister but she can’t disgrace her morals by this.

In the end, Liana schemed up with duke to kill the Arindell kingdom’s second prince Dominic and make the first prince come to their side.

Then fake a pregnancy and pretend to miscarry, make Cathain kill Eleanora so that no matter what, they won’t be involved.

The Dalton duchy will be destroyed too and then without any support, Cathain will fall from the throne.

And after that?

Her father will be the new emperor who will help the people, not forcing to accept like Cathain and Eleanora.

But in the end, everything was just her father’s plan. She was no different from Cathain and Eleanora, she was also just a pawn like them.

Eleanora was no more… Cathain had lost his mind… but what about her?

How can she atone for her sins?

What she thought of avenging was actually a clear murder plan from the very beginning.

Her father wasn’t happy to see her, he was happy to find a solid pawn for his plan.

Because, like how she controlled Cathain, her father controlled and poisoned her too.

Karma was really justified… she suffered the same pain that she gave them.

After Eleanora died, Cathain pretend to be happy at first, only to slowly go crazy.

Crazy to the point he frozed Eleanora’s body so that he can see her.

…

“Your Majesty!! You need to escape! My dad is plotting to kill you!”

Liana shouted at Cathain, who was laying beside the frozen body of Eleanora. It was not a new scene to Liana, so she wasn’t shocked.

“Ele… what do you want to eat? Should i make you some hot soup? Your body is so cold!”

“Your Majesty!! Wake up!! You don’t have the time to act crazy!”

Liana yelled at Cathain as she grabbed him to get up. But he slapped her away and Liana fall on the ground.

Cathain’s hair grew long as he didn’t cut it since Eleanora died three years ago.

He was still handsome, did his all works carefully like a sane person. So that after completing his work, he can spent time with Eleanora.

Liana clenched her fist but before she could react, Cathain suddenly reached her neck.

“Wait… isn’t this the empress ruby necklace?”

Liana stared at him and sighed. He has started to forgot things, he gave it to her the day he killed Eleanora.

Without unlocking it first from her neck, Cathain just snatched it with a powerful force which made her neck bleed.

But Liana didn’t mind, it’s nothing compared to the pain he is suffering now because of her mistakes.

Cathain happily rushed to Eleanora with the necklace in his hands.

He gently put it on her neck which was attached with her body again by magic and admired how good it looked on her.

“Didn’t you always wanted this, Ele? Am sorry… I didn’t give it to you before. But now that i have give it to you… Can you please open your eyes?”

“Ele… Please?”

“Let me see your blue eyes one more time?”

“Last time?”

Cathain’s voice dropped and he kneeled down beside Eleanora’s body as he gripped her hands.

“…I was wrong, Can you please pat on my head one more time? I have a terrible headache which never goes away…”

“Ele… Call my name one last time?”

“Please? Just once…?”

Liana couldn’t bear to watch it anymore, she turned her head around and wished she won’t hear Cathain’s beggings to a dead person anymore.

But she can’t avoid it either, it’s her punishment for killing four innocent life’s.

Seeing that Eleanora was still not responding, Cathain put his hands on her slightly bulging belly.

“Baby? Can you tell your mom that dad is sorry?”

“Tell her to not be angry anymore…”

“Daddy won’t ignore your mommy anymore. I will play with you after you are born, Okay?”

“Baby? Are you angry with daddy too?”

Cathain kept talking nonsenses and Liana finally got up. She can’t lose her mind now too.

Liana reached out to grab Cathain, who was now kneeling beside Eleanora’s dead body and slapped him hard.

“Cathain De Valerian Valentino!! Wake up!! She is dead!! Your child is dead!! You killed them with your own hands!! I made you kill her!!”

“No-No-No, Ele is alive with our baby. She was talking with me even in this morning. She is just upset that i came back a little late…”

Liana gave him another hard slap and shook him by grabbing his shoulders.

“I can’t revive the death but i can at least save the living one. I have sent someone to release the duke. Now only you are left.”

As soon as Liana mentioned about Alexander, he froze as he suddenly remembered everything.

“Yeah… Ele is dead… I killed her… Yes, I killed her with my own hands… hahhaahhaa! how could i forget this?

I tortured and killed my own empress and child… how did i forgot? How dare i to forgot what i did to her?”

…..

Cathain started to laugh as he finally remembered the cruel truth once again.

Liana sighed, she doesn’t have much time. Her father has already suspected her betrayal, so he rised the amount of poison she takes.

Despite knowing that the food was poisoned, Liana kept taking it as her atonement for what she did to Eleanora and her babies, also to Dominic.

It was her plan to kill the already sick Dominic, destroy the duchy and kill Eleanora.

She wanted to take revenge but ended up helping the culprit.

‘I just need to make him get out of here safely and then… kill myself for atonement. I souldn’t live… i don’t deserve to live and be happy.’

But then suddenly the door burst opened and hair like flaming red fire come to Liana’s view.
