Saving The Abandoned Empress

145 “Bring Her Back”

After the sacrificial of saintess Ariande, the monsters and darkness faded away from the world and become bright again.

Slowly, everyone’s life returned to normal, except one person.

The first emperor, who was a tyrant but also a good ruler to the people turned to dark magic to forget the pain of losing his beloved.

Who died without hearing his confession.

He regretted not telling her how he felt earlier on.

He spends his day with his daughter and the official works, but he can’t fill the emptiness in his heart when he lays down on the bed at night alone.

Ariadne was no longer sleeping beside him.

Smiling at him shyly before she jumps on him to sleep while hugging him.

It killed him in insides every time he thought about how there will be no one beside him from now on.

.....

He will have to sleep alone in this big bed without her.

Even drinking alcohol or sleeping pills couldn’t help him feel better.

It only made his pain worse as he kept imagining her with him after drinking or dreaming about her.

Then finally, the emperor forced the owner of the magic tower who was Ariadne’s personal doctor before to use black magic on him.

He wanted to forget Ariadne completely.

If he can’t remember then there will be no pain.

But he waited more then 18 years after Ariadne’s sacrificial, for their daughter Eleaine to become an adult and had a child as the next emperor to do that.

He didn’t wanted his daughter to suffer in his absence or face any obstacles.

Despite the countless rejection of the mage, The emperor tried the black magic which backlashed on him as the power clashed.

The emperor died as an result but his soul which was remorseful didn’t vanished.

He wanted to revive Ariadne, tell her how much he loved her.

He wanted her to choose him.
But dark magic was a sin, which goes against the rules of the divinity of the goddess.

Not only dragons lives more then human but using black magic was like being a immortal.

The first emperor went against the rules of all the living being to be with her again.

He kept disturbing the law of nature and force the goddess to listen to him.

In the end, the goddess had no way but to sent back Ariadne’s soul into Eleanora as she was the next empress who came from the same bloodline as Ariadne.

Her divine powers was compatible with Ariadne.

But things didn’t go as the First emperor planned.


He wanted to kill Eleanora’s soul first which will awaken Ariadne’s soul inside her body and then take over the current emperor’s body.

He was almost successful in his past life during Eleanora’s coming of age ceremony but that past Cathain’s mixed emotions after seeing her for a long time, he couldn’t took over him.

This was why after spending the night with Eleanora, the crown prince who couldn’t remember everything clearly left early and thought of contacting her later, which made Eleanora misunderstand the him.

Eleanora thought he did that in drunken state and regretted it after waking up, where the past crown prince, did that to prevent the first emperor taking over him without thinking much.

He knew once he lost focus, he would lose psychologically to the first emperor.

There was a lot of times where the crown prince almost lost but he still managed to hold on.

But lost when the poison in his food and Jennifer’s mind controlling over him increased.

The controlling was so strong that even the first emperor couldn’t take over him anymore and in the end, Eleanora was executed.

So, the first emperor’s plan changed…

He destroyed the whole empire by taking over the 34th emperor, who sacrificed his soul to turn back the time.

In this timeline, the current Cathain was more strong in mentality but once he become weak after hearing the words of Eleanora’s, the first emperor was finally able to take over his body.

Preventing people from doubting him, he waited till today to start his plan.

He was able to take over the current emperor easily and Eleanora was also sitting in the magic circle.

He wanted to make Eleanora’s spirit weaker by hurting her mentality, like how the current Cathain was weak in spirit when he learnt that Eleanora was executed in her past life.

When her spirit would be low, he would kill her first before mixing their bloods together to activate the magic circle.

After that, Ariadne’s soul will have no choice but to awakening.

But he never expected Eleanora to see through him and act so calmly.

He also never thought how Ariadne, who never even eaten meat because she felt sorry for the animals would react when she will come to know what he have done for years to revive her.

“That doesn’t matter anymore...”

The man infront of Eleanora spoke and his grip on her neck loosened a little bit.

Eleanora coughed violently a few times and bloods came out from her mouth.

She panted heavily to gasp for breath.

The man infront of her moved his hands away from her neck and Eleanora sighed in relief.

She doesn’t know for how long she can manage to held him up from killing her.

Eleanora could only hope for the current Cathain’s soul wake up to prevent this.

She has already faced death once in this place.

She doesn’t want to die again.

She still have so much things to do.

“No... I can’t go back now... I have already done so much and this close to revive her...”

“No... I need to tell her... I love her too... Yeah, I need to tell her...”

Eleanora panicked as she heard the man’s murmuring.

‘No... I need to do something... I need to-‘

Eleanora’s eyes widened in surprise as she saw the man picking up the sword again.

Cathain’s sword was decorated with red and black gemstones, which was shining because of the moonlight in the man’s hands.

The man was in a dazed state, red eyes full of lost emotion and desperation as he raised the sword in his hand.

“Only your death can bring her back...”

~The former empress will be executed for trying to harm the queen and murder the future heir of the empire. Her sentence will be carried away right away~

The past voices started to ring in her mind as she watched the sword raising up again.

Eleanora could see the past repeating again.

‘No... I don’t want to die... Someone please save me!’

But then everything become dark again and she felt her consciousness fading away slowly.
