Saving The Abandoned Empress Chapter 132 “Red Eyed Dragon”

132 “Red Eyed Dragon”

Alexander carefully tucked Eleanora into the blanket and kept stoking her hair to make her feel better.

She has been so tired that she fall asleep on his embrace while crying infront of the main gate.

Eleanora fall asleep so deeply that she didn’t even woke up when Alexander carried her all the way to her room and Maria changed her wet clothes.

She was wearing her nightdress and a shawl above it so that she doesn’t get a cold.

Eleanora is sensitive to cold despite the cold mana flowing through her body all the time, she couldn’t get used to it.

Jennie lit up the fireplace to make the room more warmer and Alexander kept stoking her hair while sitting beside her.

But then Alexander frowned as he saw the white handkerchief wrapped around her palm which has been dyed red by her blood.

Moreover it was a man’s handkerchief.

‘Who dares to flirt with her in my absence and also hurt my daughter?’

…..

Immediately his aura become colder as he removed the handkerchief and saw the deep cut on her palm.

‘It can only be that bastard who can affect her mood.’

Alexander looked at the sleeping Eleanora again, whose eyes got swollen because of crying.

He felt sympathy for her and worries filled up his blue eyes.

‘He always hurts her first and then comes with medicine to heal her.

But doesn’t understand even if the wound gets heal, it will leave a scar mark.’

Maria bought the first aid kid box as soon as she saw Eleanora’s wound and wanted to treat it.

“Let me do it.”

Alexander spoke as he took the box away from Maria and started to treat Eleanora’s wound by himself.

He gently put some medicine on the wound before he carefully bandaged it.

Everyone felt sympathy and worried for Eleanora and Alexander.

They have never seen the duke being like this.

Understanding the situation, Alexander’s aid Raynor gestured the others to leave the room quitely and then they closed the room.

So it was only Alexander and Eleanora in the room.

Alexander kneeled down beside Eleanora’s bed and took her palm on his both hands.

He put his forehead against her palm which he hold and sighed heavily.

“Luckily… You are safe this time.”

No one responded as Eleanora was deep in her sleep.

“Father is sorry, Ele… If i didn’t neglected you in the past, you wouldn’t have to suffer so much. It’s all my fault, you are suffering in this life too.”

A tear drop left Alexander’s eyes silently as he looked at his sleeping daughter and kissed her palm.

“Am sorry Lia, i not only failed to be a good husband and protect you, i also failed to be a good father and let our daughter suffer so much…”

“Am sorry… Am sorry…”

Alexander kept speaking in a low sobbing voice as tear drops left her eyes.

Everytime he remembers how Eleanora turned her head away from him in the prison cells and walked towards her trial grounds, he feels like he can’t live anymore because of the pain in his heart.

The most helpless moment of his life was when he failed to save Eunicelia till he also failed to save his daughter.

He helplessly saw her walking towards her death strongly.

Even now, she is strong… So, strong that it fears him.

Alexander doesn’t want others attention on her like before, to become an target of Duke Raven again.

Eleanora may look tough but deep inside she is a fragile person, wanting to be loved and cherished.

“Sleep well…”

Alexander spoke as he kissed on Eleanora’s forehead and was about to go away to let her rest when she unconsciously gripped his hands in sleep.

“D-Don’t go…”

Eleanora talked in her sleep as she dreamt that the darkness which was surrounding her finally got a ray of light, making her dark world a little brighter and warmer.

But then she felt the warmness fading away, so she unconsciously gripped Alexander’s hands tightly.

In her dreams, she kept running from the emperor, the queen and all the nobles who harmed her.

She watched her children’s being killed again and again, hear their painful cryings.

Then the scene changed into her trial grounds and the emperor swinging the sword to execute her.

And then she saw the empire turning into dust.

Monsters were everywhere and people kept running for their lives.

This scene was new to Eleanora, she has never seen this before.

She understood that she was seeing the scenary from a third persons prospective.

Eleanora glanced everywhere but she was shocked as she saw the imperial red flag with a roaring golden lion in fire.

The imperial palace was also destroyed.

But then, suddenly something came out from the imperial palce by breaking it’s roof.

Eleanora’s blue eyes widened as she saw the big black dragon spreading it’s wings and flaming fire came out as it opened it’s mouth wide to roar.

And then, finally the dragon opened it’s bloody red eyes to gaze at Eleanora, who was too shocked.

‘You have finally appeared… My Empress.’

Imperial Palace~

“YOUR MAJESTY, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!”

Brayden was shocked to see the emperor, who was completely drenched and had a deep cut on his palm.

But he was even more surprised to find the emperor acting weird.

Cathain always gave off a dangerous aura but now he felt extremely more dangerous.

The emperor paid Brayden no attention and directly went to his bedroom to change his clothes.

He took of his shirt and stood infront of the mirror, narrowing his eyes as he touched the goddess mark on his white chest.

The man had a well build large and tall body, where the mark on his chest seemed like a tattoo.

“What a player you are… Goddess.”

He smriked as he spoke and put on his robe before laying on the bed to sleep.

His hands was spread in the bed as he stared at the ceiling above him.

“Things are going to be fun from now on…

Wait for me, My Perverted saintess!”
