Saving The Abandoned Empress

Chapter 129 - 129 "You Can Only Be Mine"

129 “You Can Only Be Mine”

The man infront of her had a cloak on him, covering his face but Eleanora could still see some curl of red hair on his forehead as he lowered his head to look at her wound with a frowned expression.

The man infront of her was, Alberto Dion Richardo, the current duke of the south.

Their family excelled in medicine research, so most of them are renowned doctors.

Even most of the hospitals in the empire is situated on the south.

Dion’s father, the previous duke of Richardo wanted to retire and rest.

So, this was how Dion came to become the duke and moved to the capital to expend their hospital buisness.

The south would ger benefits and they will no longer be isolated just there, Dion had always wanted to expand their territory and share their knowledge to help the people.

They was no monster being that needed to stay hidden.

Dion had a handsome face but his skin was a little tanned compared to Cathain, who had jade white skin like his mother.

.....

His black eyes looked up to meet Eleanora’s cold blue eyes and raised his eyebrows in furry after seeing her indifferent look.

“Aren’t you a swordmaster? Don’t you know how precious your hands are?!”

“…”

Dion, who was used to scold his little sister, Diana, didn’t hesitated a bit and lashed out without much care of her status as the future empress.

“Glass cuts are very dangerous, if you don’t treat it there is possibility of inflammation and-”

“Pff-”

“…”

Somehow, it made Eleanora chuckle.

It has been so long since someone treated her normally, let alone lashing out at her.

But Dion was stunned to see her smiling face and his cheeks turned a little red.

‘She looks beautiful when she smiles-‘

‘What am i thinking?!’

“Why are you laughing?!”

Dion faked a cough to clear his head and asked with a frown as he made her seat at a nearby bench to take out the glass piece from her hands.

“Don’t move, it will hurt a little.”

“I can do it, thank you.”

Eleanora spoke politely as she wanted to retract her hands as they was not so familiar with each other.

But Dion caught them firmly.

“I don’t trust you after seeing how you was making the wound worse.”

“…”

‘Why is he so stubborn? I can heal it myself...’

Eleanora was speechless but then she just decided to let him help her because of his firm determination to help her.

“Ok.”

Eleanora replied but soon she felt like laughing more as she saw how Dion become happy as she agreed to let him treat her.

‘Are all the doctors like this?’

Eleanora glanced at him as Dion kept taking out the glass pieces carefullt and blowing at her wound in the same time.

‘He looks quite cute...like some puppy?’

At that thought, Eleanora suddenly remembered his little sister Diana, whom she had previously saved.

It didn’t occurred to her till now, but now that she remembered it... She unconsciously murmured out loud.

“Where is his tail and ears?”

“…”

Dion frozed as he looked at Eleanora unbelievably.

“What are you talking about?”

But what he wanted to ask was how does she know that they are not humans but werewolves?

How much she knows?

“Huh? Oh- Nothing...did i said something?”

Eleanora asked awkwardly but Dion didn’t spoke anything.

He felt her more and more weird.

At first, he felt a high amount of his magic powers inside of hers.

And now, she seem to know his secret.

Indeed, something was fishy here.

“Do you always carry a scalpel with you?”

Eleanora asked as she was amused by this fact when Dion bought out a scalpel from his pockets.

Who carries a scalpel with them while going out?

“To prevent accidents like this.”

“…”

Dion spoke as he showed her his jacket pockets which could be called a mini first aid kid box.

He didn’t carried bandages as it made the jacket look stuffy, so he only had a few alcohol pads and a scalpel.

“I have treated it temporarily. Show it to your family doctor as soon as you return.”

“Yes, Doctor Richardo.”

“…”

Although Dion’s facial expression didn’t changed but his lips curved up a little as he heard her.

Eleanora doesn’t know why but she felt much comfortable with Dion, regardless it was their first time talking with each other freely like this.

Dion blow on her wound a little as he removed the glass pieces from her hands and tied up his handkerchief around her wound after cleaning it with a alcohol pad.

Not realising the presence of someone a little far away from them, who had bandages on his hands as he looked at Dion with a murdering gaze.

‘Dare to touch my, Empress?!’

Cathain had left as soon as Jennifer controlled the man’s who was sent by the duke into believing that they had seen the emperor and the lady all day together and immediately left.

He kept searching for her with bandages on his hands only to find Dion treating her wound.

Cathain kept staring at them with a intense gaze, with the feeling of separating them this instant.

How he wished he could beat up Dion and hide Eleanora from everyone, where only he could see her.

There was already Cedrick and now another one appeared. Who knows who will appear again if he keeps delaying making her his.

‘Why do you always accept everyone except me?’

‘It hurts so much to see you with someone else, who looks at you with an curious gaze… like mine.’

‘Your soft nature and tough heart makes it unable for someone to not fall in love… am afraid of them snatching you away from me…’

Sensing the penetrating gaze, Eleanora looked up but she was stunt as no one was there.

‘Why do I feel like someone was staring at us? Was I mistaken?’

Eleanora turned her gaze and didn’t thought much about it.

After treating her wound, both of them stood up and started to walk.

“Thank you so much for your help, Duke Richardo.”

“No problem. It become my habit to treat wounds, otherwise I feel uncomfortable till I don’t.”

“You have a weird fetish…”

“I guess so.”

.....

Dion replied with a little laugh as he spoke and they continued to walk alongside.

After a while, Dion bid Eleanora goodbye as he already reached his carriage and went back.

He asked Eleanora to come along with him but she refused. It would be too much if he even drops her at home now.

Understanding her meaning, Dion didn’t asked farther and they parted their aways.

Eleanora exhaled a heavy breathe before she started to walk again.

She wanted to reach home soon as the sky was getting darker.

But suddenly, Eleanora felt like someone was following her.

She didn’t stopped on her steps but cautiously fasten her steps.

Who dares to follow me?

Eleanora thought as she kept walking with her hands grabbing her sword but the footsteps behind her kept following.

As Eleanora was about to draw her sword, suddenly her wrist was grabbed by someone and immediately she was pinned against the wall.

Her both wrist was above her head as a big hands was wrapped around her waist.

Eleanora could recognise who it is, even without seeing the face.

“What are you doing, Your Majesty?”

She asked in a cold voice and the head hurried into her neck moved a little.

Cathain’s hot breathe fall on Eleanora’s skin as he pressed his body weight on her to not let her move.

Eleanora couldn’t struggle anymore as she was sandwiched between the wall and his body.

“You are hurting me! let me go!”

Eleanora spoke angrily but she was frozen as his lips kissed her neck.

“I will never let you go, My empress.”

Cathain spoke as he kept kissing her neck and Eleanora felt shiver on her body.

“STOP IT!! YOUR MAJESTY!”

Eleanora spoke but instead of budging, Cathain started to kiss her chin, her earlobe and other area.

“Call my name, Ele... I want to hear you calling my name...”

Cathain whispered in her ears, which made her heart beating more faster.

Eleanora doesn’t know why she couldn’t push him, hate his touch... She was actually enjoying his touch.

She could feel his body warmth and the softness of his lips, the possessiveness coming out from his every touch, declaring her as his.

“Ele...What should i do with you? I don’t like how they look at you... How they wanna steal what’s mine...”

“AM NOT YOURS!”

Eleanora spoke as she turned her head when Cathain suddenly moved his face towards her to kiss.

Seeing her firm rejection, Cathain chuckled.

His red eyes was bloody red again, just like before.

He looked at her with ridicule as she said something funny.

The current Cathain felt dangerous to Eleanora, just like before.

‘What has happened to him so suddenly?’

His hand which was wrapped around her waist suddenly loosen up as he pinched her chin.

“Oh? Then who do you belong to? Cedrick Raven? Edmund Bomir?...

Or Dion Richardo?!”

Cathain spoke as he stared directly at her blue eyes, which seem like he could see the truth in her eyes.

“Or...do you belong to everyone except me?”

“You followed me?! YOU’VE GONE CRAZY!!!”

Eleanora spoke as she used her mana to push him off because she couldn’t fight him physically.

Cathain was forced to take a few steps back because of her powerful push but instead of getting angry, he just casually glanced at her.

His red eyes was full of crazy obsession and possessiveness.

‘H-He...how did he changed so much?’

Eleanora could see the past him into the current him and unconsciously she turned around to run away without delaying a moment.

‘I can’t get caught...’

“Ahh!! Leave me!!”

Eleanora panicked as Cathain hugged her tightly from behind and whispered with his gritted teeth in a warning voice.

“Yeah, i have gone crazy because of you...”

Cathain bite her earlob a lightly before he whispered to her again in a low dangerous voice.

“You can push me away but you can only be mine, Empress. No matter who is it, Whomever dares to come between us... I will kill him.”
