Saving The Abandoned Empress

59 Chapter 59 ~ “Rua Kingdom”

Two days later, they finally reached the border of Rua Kingdom.

It was situated on the south so it was basically much hotter then the Valentino empire, which was neither too hot or cold.

Eleanora hadn’t seen Cathain much in this two days as they both ride different carriages. He seem to avoid her, but that was rather comfortable for her.

She was looking outside curiously as it was her first time in Rua Kingdom before the war.

Eleanora felt a little hurt, as the cheerful atmosphere she is seeing now would turn into a desperate land, where people would cry and beg for mercy.

In her past life, The king of Rua Kingdom even forced the commoner people in the war, when there was shortage of knights.

This is why... She personally behead the king on behalf of the commoner people.

She had her shining sword in one hand and the head of the king was on her other hand as she walked.

Her long black cape fly in the air and her white face was crimsoned red by enemies blood.

.....

She looked like a grim reaper in the battlefield...

Thinking about this, Eleanora really thought she deserved to be called a sadistic tyrant.

She unleashed her madness, agony, frustrations and everything she hold back into wars.

She felt like, battlefield was the only place where she could be herself.

A masochistic beautiful psycho... who liked to kill to feel better, who loved him even if he hated her.

Everytime her sword was raise up, she was venting her emotions into them.

This was why it was so powerful and undefeated...

After a series of bustling movements, in less than half a day, they finally reached the capital city of Rua, Livita.

Rua’s palace looked very different from Valentino’s temperate atmosphere. Colorful and gold patterns were mixed in harmony to cover the palace.

The delegation group entered the outer wall.

Inside the open gate, a large number of guards were standing. They were men with brown skin like red earth.

Eleanora, who never got the chance to notice their appearance before was amazed.

Rua’s all had black hair. They were very different from the people of Valentino, who had white skin and various hair colors.

They were mainly wearing protective gear made from tanned leather, not armor.

Rua, which is surrounded by lush forests, swamps, and rugged terrain, having free movement was more important.

Wearing heavy equipment such as armor would slow down one’s movement, and thus it would be easier to die from arrows.

After facing the guards, the atmosphere of the Royal knights became sharper. The senior knights stood closer to their carriage.

A strange air current circulated between the white and black groups.

But only for a while. Soon, the Rua guards split to the sides, and from the center, a young man in his eighteens dressed in splendorous gold appeared.

Eleanora had met him in her previous life. It was Rua’s prime minister, Attilak.

‘He looks quite young now...’

In her previous life, Attilak bravely fought for his country and in the end, he was set up by his own king because he protested to sent the commoners in the war.

He become the prime minister only at the age of sixteen because of his exceptional grades and intelligence.

‘It’s a pity that his own country will betray him.’

Attilak knelt on both knees and greeted them in the Ruatic manner.

Many of the guards followed him and politely knelt.

“It’s an honor to meet the Crown Prince and the holy saintess of Valentino. I am Attilak, a faithful servant of Rua Kingdom.”

Attilak’s greeting relieved the tension between the people.

Knight Commander Starz, who judged that there was no immediate danger, opened the carriage door for Cathain first.

After getting out first, he reached out his hand for Eleanora to come down too.

Eleanora placed her right hand on his palm and got out of the carriage while arranging her long silver hair with other her hand.

As it was a sunny day, the light reflected from her shiny silver hair was also more dazzling than usual.

She was wearing a thin floral patterned dress which was beautifully flying a little as the wind hit her; along with her shiny hair.

Young but mature, dangerous but tempting... this was the first impression of him on Eleanora.

Attilak was momentarily at a loss for words at the sight of something like a halo forming behind the holy saintess, who is also the crown prince’s fiance.

‘How divine and beautiful it is to see the sunlight shining brilliantly behind her.’

“It’s been a while, Prime Minister.”

Cathain spoke in a cold voice, the moment he noticed the young prime minister’s admiring gaze on Eleanora.

If gaze could kill, then he would have already torn the prime minister into pieces for staring at Eleanora.

When Cathain addressed him, the prime minister suddenly felt a chill.

Eleanora greeted Attilak back and as she was about to place her hand on his palm for the greeting kiss on the back of her hands; Cathain suddenly placed his own hands on Attilak’s palm.

Everyone froze, including Cathain himself.

He hurriedly changed his action as a way to help the prime minister to stand up and the situation become more awkward.

Because everyone knew why he did that except the bewildered Eleanora.

She got back on her carriage after giving them a awkward look.

To fix the atmosphere, Attilak started chattering, saying that they had worked hard to come a long way, asking whether they felt hot, whether they was tired, and whether they was hungry.

Some people even thought that he was Cathain’s servant instead of Melendez’s, the king of Rua.

They were soon led into the road for palace, along with the royal knights.

Armed Rua guards moved around with the Royal Knights.

As the capital of a country, there were many tall and splendid buildings.

The slum was located in the invisible back while the road to the palace was thoroughly polished.

However, not a single one of them paused to appreciate the scenery.

As they had set foot in the country of their friendly yet sworn enemy, everyone became wary even if it was not immediately dangerous.

Cathain got down from his carriage and started to drove his black horse in the name of appreciate the scene.

Where his main purpose was to stay closer to Eleanora’s carriage, becoming alert about their surroundings as they kept heading to the palace.
