Chapter 79
Saving The Abandoned Empress
79 Chapter 79 ~ âObsessed Eyesâ
Cathain felt his cheeks burn and his heart beating faster after Eleanoraâs bold declaration.
âBeing her man, doesnât sound bad....â
âI lied about you being my servert... in order to save you, hope you wonât mind.â
Eleanora lowly whispered to the blushing Cathain, who felt like he has been crush by a rock after hearing her words.
âAh... her man as a âservantâ, not as a âloverâ...?â
âGot it?â
âI misunderstood again...â
âThe man you just picked on is the knight my father arranged for me before he left, to protect me secretly in crowd!â
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.
.....
âWhat the?â
âHer ladyship the crown princess had a secret knight?â
âHuh?â
âSeriously?â
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 didnât knew about this was easily fooled by Eleanora and started to shiver.
âDo you think you can mess around with Dalton knights, Baron Silver or whatever?â
Eleanora spoke in a cold and intimidating voice but didnât noticed the upset Cathain behind her who let out a pitch black aura from him.
âA guard??!!â
âI was hoping she would say am her lover, Ah no, Man... Ugh! Whatever...! Whatâs wrong with me nowadays?!â
But Baron gold wasnât 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?!
âWho... messed with who? Huh!
He should be punished as he pushed a noble!â
Both Eleanoraâs and Cathainâs 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.
âDid you see that blonde man?â
âKya!! Even his cloak canât hide his beauty!!â
Baron Gold couldnât 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 wouldnât 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?
âYou ladyship, how can you ask me to apologise to a commoner like him?â
Baron Gold expressed as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
âThis brat is obviously rebellious!!â
â...â
âCanât we just solve it by putting him in prison and torture him to get some information?â
âThere is no point of quarreling with this fat pig.â
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.
âCan you let it slide this time? My knight comes from the countryside, so he doesnât know much about manners.â
â??!!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cathain was dumbstruck as he was forced to have another background as a country boy... who seem to have sell apples and cow milk?!
âOf course, itâs my fault to not teach him properly.â
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.
âAbuse me then!â
âAbuse me the way you did to my guard!!â
â?!â
Cathain waa stunned. Was she... sharing good and bad with him... like how husband and wife do?
Where Baron Gold Panicked.
âHow... How can i do that to your ladyship?â
âShe is more dangerous then she looks... One that people would choose to not mess with. But weirdly that attracts me more towards her...â
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.
âThis little bitch! She knows i canât do that to the crown princess, let alone her being the lady Dalton and the saintess!â
âDamn it!â
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.
âI have made a mistake, Please forgive me my ladyship, the crown princess.â
Baron Gold apologised but Eleanora wasnât satisfied with it.
âThe one you should apologise to is my guard, not me...â
Baron Gold put on a dumbfounded look while clenching his fist like he had misunderstood Ain.
âHaha... I think it was only a misunderstanding of mine... Hahaha...â
âDamn it! Why do i have to apologise to a Commoner?!â
âHeâs insolent since he has this little bitch backing up for him! This bastard!â
But then he was surprised as Cathainâs killer gaze fall on him, which seem to pierce him into pieces.
âWhatâs with those eyes...??!â
âPlease...please excuse me...â
âYou are Baron Gold right? I will remember you, dare to make my girl talk so long?â
Cathain was fuming in anger and watch as the baron fleed in panick.
âAin... my hand hurts...â
Eleanora spoke in a low voice and Cathain finally remembered that he was holding her hands.
âOh shit!â
âAm... Am sorry, Are you okay?â
âYeah am okay. You must have been very scared.â
â...â
âI thought something might happen to you...â
â...â
âDid she thought i was bullied by that man?â
.....
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.
âWhy is he silent so suddenly? What is he thinking?â
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.
âYour ladyship, Thank you for saving me.â
âOh...?â
âOhhh myyy!!! Kyaaa!!!â
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.
âIs this the same man who goes around calling me Ele all day?â
For the first time, Eleanora felt like she was getting dragged into something... which is going to devour her completely.
âI was confused a little because i am a lowly commoner, Fortunately your ladyship has shown up.â
â...Okay, Okay, Stand up...â
Eleanora retreated her eyes from him and wanted to take away her hands from his grip.
But then Cathainâs 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.
âAh... Oh, Thank y-â
Eleanora froze. Seeing Ain up so close, she finally found what was the only similarity in Cathain and Ain.
âTheir gaze...â
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.
