70 Chapter 70 ~ “Cancel The Deal”
“The Dark sea and the Dark mountains of the Dark Land.
If the Moncton Kingdom decides to strike for helping the Republic Kingdom, they won’t march towards the imperial army’s head on.
Instead, they will head towards the dark mountains by crossing the Dark River, which will help them to reach the mountains directly from their Kingdom.
The Dark mountain is the only entrance to the Dark land from the Valentino Empire’s region in the west.
If they take the isolated dark mountains route, The imperial mens will be isolated without any supplies by the Moncton Army.
It that happens, There is only one outcome...
Complete Annihilation of the expedition!”
Eleanora smriked at King Melendez right after she finished speaking. The old man didn’t saw that coming.
‘So Duke Ravens colluded with Kingdom Rua long before to take down the imperial family.’
.....
Eleanora can guess that her tragedy wasn’t because of Cathain and Jena anymore. There seem to be more people involved on it then she thought.
But that wasn’t the end...
“As i mentioned two causes, the first one is Moncton Kingdom, geographical disadvantaged.
Where the second one is, Disease...”
‘D-Disease?’
King Melendez’s face turned more pale after hearing her. This girl is really running his all plans!
“The Dark lands environment and temperature is different from ours. It will be very hot and humid there.
Specially for swordmaster’s, who possess fire magic.
It’s full of dark energy and mosters with unknown origin. If they encounter any monsters that are able to spread contagious disease... it will bring down the whole empire.
So, does it worth to fight for a useless land full of uncertainty and risk our mens?”
As soon as Eleanora finished speaking, Cathain leaned on his chair and applaused for her, ignoring the embarrassed Eleanora and awkward look on the audience.
“My wife is too brilliant and right... I don’t think we should risk our mens for a uncertain land tressures and suffer the risk.
I hope you understand, King.”
King Melendez gritted his teeth as he clenched his fists.
‘No, I can’t give up so easily.’
Melendez stood up from his seat as he yelled at Eleanora. He really couldn’t take this anymore.
How can he be defeated by a mere 13-year-old girl?
“Nonsense! Did she went there to see this by herself? How can she be so sure of it?!
Crown prince, I hope you think it wisely for your own profit rather then listening to some underaged girl!”
As Melendez finished speaking, everyone sighed.
‘He is dead today. How did he failed to notice that the Crown Prince is already a wife slave?’
The look on Cathain’s face instantly switched as he narrowed his eyes.
‘How dare he insult my empress again?’
Eleanora mentally shield herself away as she recognised the look on his face.
If they thought Cathain was only a teenager boy who was head over hills for his fiancee, they are terribly mistaken.
Eleanora knows Cathain doesn’t like it when people forces something on him or tries to dominate him, which King Melendez has been doing from the very beginning of this meeting.
He didn’t cause trouble because Eleanora was with him and wanted to leave a good impression on her mind about him.
But, they have taken his silence for granted and acting however they liked.
Cathain didn’t even have to stand up and merely leaned forward to his table as his killing stare fall on Melendez.
It was enough for everyone in the meeting room to gulp in fear and instantly flinch backwards.
The sharpness of his bloody red eyes was a threat within itself and for a split second, Eleanora could see the old Cathain inside him.
Not just him, But also herself.
Empress Eleanora standing beside Emperor Cathain in meeting rooms, attempting to force them obey to the alliance by means of tricks and violence.
Eleanora could see herself holding her blue jeweled sword again as she stood in the pile of blood and corpse.
She felt sick in her stomach just by the thought of that.
King Melendez was afraid but he didn’t believed a mere teenager can refute him infront of this many people as witness.
He just needs to attack on his pride as a man because, There is no way that a Crown prince like Cathain would abandon his pride for a girl.
“Crown Prince, are you really willing to go so low, as to let a underaged girl who isn’t even your official wife yet to decide about such an important matter?
She might not even become the empress...”
Hearing Melendez’s words, Cathain kicked the wooden table infront of him and the table cracked down completely.
His burning fire magic aura was so strong that everyone shuddered and stepped back.
‘Who dares to take my empress away from me?
I will destroy any possibilities that might stand in my way from getting her back!’
A killing intent was seen in his bloody red eyes, which was ready to bath in blood.
“King...”
Cathain gritted his teeth as he addressed King Melendez and paused.
That one word was enough to make a shiver go down everyone’s spine even if it wasn’t directed at them.
Eleanora could feel her legs go weak. She kept reminding herself that she can’t collapse again like before.
She promised herself to let go of the past shackles and solve the past mystery, to live a new life with the people she cherishes.
But still, she can’t control her past fear.
“Do you want to die?”
Cathain coldly asked and glared at him.
He was so angry that, he failed to control his magic powers and all the glasses of windows immediately shattered into pieces because of his raging mana.
Eleanora widened her eyes in shock and before she could react, He grabbed her hand and proceed to leave the meeting hall.
She let him drag her and unlike before, his back view didn’t remind her of the past this time.
Eleanora was still frightened but also felt happy because of his protection over her.
It was a warm feeling that her cold heart seldom felt...
As Cathain reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the kings face.
“King, I think it’s time for you to choose a successor for your throne... you might get killed off anytime because of that damn mouth of yours.
And... You can also forget about today’s deal.
We, the empire people doesn’t want to deal with someone who doesn’t even know about how to respect a woman.
How can we trust him with our buisness then?”
The entire meeting room was shocked and started to curse at King Melendez. If it wasn’t for him, today’s negotiation was completely successful!
Brayden, who was standing outside had already informed the knights to prepare to leave the moment he realised Cathain’s anger.
He knew, Cathain wouldn’t want to spent a more moment here.
And to his surprise, almost everything was ready just in half an hour.
Cathain kept walking fast as he dragged Eleanora with him.
He was angry, devastated and fearful...
How dare a mere king say that she might not be the the empress?
If she isn’t the empress, that means she will marry someone else.
How can he bear to see her laughing with another man, smiling and embracing that man infront of him?
He can’t just seat and watch as she vows her love and loyalty to someone else.
.....
Even if she hates him, doesn’t promises to love him, But as long as she stays with him, that’s enough for him.
“Your highness... slow... slow down.”
Hearing her voice, Cathain stops on his tracks and turns around to face her.
But even before Eleanora could see his face, he bents down and burried his head into her shoulder.
He was afraid to let her see his devastated face right now.
The surprised Eleanora wanted to push him but he hugged her more tightly. In the end, she had no choice but to let him lean on her.
“Your highness...”
Eleanora called him awkwardly and wanted to talk about the negotiation.
This was the thing they came here for, now it was cancelled because of her.
But Cathain didn’t cared about the negotiation at all as he had something else in his mind...
“You will become my empress, right?”
