Saving The Abandoned Empress-Chapter 14
Chapter 14: βSavedβ
Eleanora tried to open her eyes but her eyelids felt very heavy. It was becoming more and more colder... π³π«π¦eπΈπ²πππvπ¦π.ππm
Then gradually her chest started to felt heavy and she gasped for breathe.
She was losing her breathe and felt suffocated.
Then the force that was pulling her up stop suddenly.
Something strong was wrapped around her waist and It felt like someoneβs hand...
Did someone really heard her prayer and came to save her from this?
But before Elanora could react, she felt something pressed against her mouth and she was able to breathe again.
.....
Someone was passing her air to breathe, by mouth to mouth. She wanted to open her eyes to see who it was but she couldnβt.
Is it another memory of hers that she donβt remember?
She just let the person pass her air and felt the persons warmth rushing into her.
Her head was spinning and my body was gradually loosing itβs strength.
Eleanora was feeling so weak that even when that person pull her up from the water and laid her on something hard like ground, she still couldnβt open her eyes to see that person.
βWait.. Where am i?β
Eleanora could hear birds chirping sounds and a anxious voice calling out for her. Someone was shaking her violently.
Asking her to wake up, again and again.
She slowly tried to open my eyes and response to that person but everything was white infront of her because of the sunlight.
βSunlight? How can their be sunlight in abyss?β
Eleanoraβs cold and trembling body was now warming up by the sunlight.
Whatβs happening? She was drenched and shivering from cold.
Eleanora put some more force into her eyes to see clearly and then she suddenly heard someone yelling my name.
βElee!β
Eleanora saw a man with familiar silver hair and blue eyes running towards her, he looked so young and handsome, exactly how she remembered him in the past...
βWait, The past?β
Before she could react, Duke Alexander Dalton came rushed towards her as he hugged her tightly. ππ§π¦π¦weπ£π£π°ππ²l.com
Alexander didnβt mind her drenched body and he was wearing his official clothes that he used to wear, whenever he attended an imperial meeting.
βAre you all right, Princess?β
A young lady with wavy hair rushed towards her too. Eleanora recognised her.
It was Maria. She looks quite young too.
βWasnβt Maria beheaded? Did he killed my father too? Are we in heaven?β
Eleanora couldnβt think of anything but what she knew was she wanted to hug and cry in her fatherβs arm.
Death was scary... very scary then she thought.
Soon, tears filled up her eyes and she started to sniffle.
Only Eleanora knew how much she missed this warmth of her father.
Why did she only got to know about his love in the end?
Eleanora launched herself into his arms tightly and cried into his chest.
βEle?? Are you okey? Are you hurt?β
Eleanora shook my head. No, she wasnβt hurt. She was just feeling a little cold.
But she couldnβt use her voice to say anything.
Maria came back with a blanket in a short moment and wrapped her up with it.
And feeling the warmth, she couldnβt control her fear that she felt when the broadsword fall on her neck and separated it from her body.
βEle?? Whatβs wrong? Why are you still crying?β
Eleanora looked at Alexander and hugged him again more tightly as she burried her head into his shoulder.
βDaddy... Thank you for coming... To save me... It was scary... Very dark... I was so scared... I didnβt wanted to die... I want to stay with you...forever.β
βItβs allright now, Daddy is here...sush!β
Alexander kept stroking her damp hair and Eleanora was still sniffling, shuttering as she talked.
βI want to go home... Daddy ... Take me away from here.β
Eleanora didnβt want to stay in this dark place anymore. She finally got to meet her dad and Maria.
He was actually here, this isnβt a memory of hers, she couldnβt believe it.
It was her father who listened to her prayers and came to save her. He saved her from there and took her in this havean.
Alexander turned his head towards one of the attendant knights, whom Eleanora only just realised was in the scene also.
He said something to them and they looked back at him with confusion, then nooded their head in agreement of something.
Eleanora looked at them with confusion. Are they all dead like her?
Eleanora become more terrified and hugged her father more tightly, wrapping her tiny legs around his waist.
Then she heard them saying something but she couldnβt focus as her mind was in a mess.
What the hell is exactly happening?
Alexander carried Eleanora to their carriage but she still didnβt let him go.
She felt so safe in his arms that she fall asleep.
βOh God, Please donβt let this illusion of mine to disappear. Donβt take my long wanting fatherβs love and warmth from me again.β
Alexander stroke her silver hair gently and kissed her head.
Eleanoraβs small body was wrapped up in a white blanket as she was drenched and Alexander remembered the time when Eleanora was just born.
That day right after Eleanoraβs birth, the usual silent duchy become lively with a childβs crying sounds.
Maria wrapped the newborn Eleanora into a white blanket and take her out from the room to hand her over to Alexander.
Alexander, who was anxious about his wife wanted to go in to cheak on Eunicelia first.
But as his gaze fall on the tiny white bundle on Mariaβs hand, he froze.
Silver hair like him, the baby girl looked so adorable and Alexander foumd her face similar to his wifeβs.
He stopped on his tracks and took the newborn baby on his arms carefully.
Her crying stopped right after she came to his arms and slowly opened her blue eyes to stare at him.
Alexander was stunned to found her physical traits exactly the same as him.
The baby smiled so brightly at him that, he named her βEleanoraβ which meant shining light.
The priests predicted her to be the reborn saintess and wanted to name her Ariande. But under Alexanderβs death glares, no one dared to speak.
He vowed to protect the tiny girl on his arms and looking at the same girl who has grown up now, he felt the same possesiveness over her again.
βThis time... I wonβt let anyone harm you. Father will protect you!β
