181 “Recovered Memories”

“Your Majesty, Is it okay to leave the duke like this?”

Eleanora asked as she hopped on the black horse and looked behind with worry for Dion.

‘There are more then thousand soldiers, how will he manage it?’

“Don’t worry about him, he is our national pet afterall. It’s not easy to defeat him,”

‘...national pet?’

Cathain spoke as he hopped on the horse too and sat behind Eleanora, which made her feel a little awkward.

“I know that you are still awkward around me, And for what i did earlier... Just bear a little till we escape!”

The more Cathain tried to explain the more awkward and embarrassed he felt.

Eleanora flushed a little as she nodded her head in agreement instead of speaking.

.....

Even if she feels uncomfortable, there is nothing she can do about it.

Escaping is the priority.

‘But, shouldn’t he uncuff me first?’

Eleanora looked down at her hands, which was still cuffed and holding a gun tightly.

She will be able to use her magic once this silver cuffs are removed.

“IT’S THE EMPEROR!!! FOLLOW HIM!!”

Cathain gritted his teeth as he looked behind and found a few Rua’s soldier catching up to him in the deepth of the Dark Forest.

‘Damn it!’

‘Burn their eyes!’

Cathain’s bloodied red eyes glowed bright red as he focused on the soldiers to his powers, so that they feel burning sensation in their eyes and unable to see which path he took to escape.

“Augh! My eyes!!!”

“I can’t see!!”

He giddied up the horse to ran faster as he didn’t wanted Eleanora to get hurt.

‘We have to escape quickly before i reach my limit,’

NEIGHH!!!

Cathain become surprised as his horse abruptly stopped and a person appeared infront of them.

“Stop, Your Majesty.”

“Since you are bold enough to come here, don’t even think about leaving alive then.”

Eleanora narrowed her blue eyes as she looked at the white haired middle aged man infront of her.

‘He is the commander of the Rua’s Elite Knights and the best soldier in Rua...’

‘It won’t be easy to get away from him!’

“You better give up, Your Majesty! Our reinforcement is on their way!”

“...You won’t even make me give up in your dreams, Commander!”

Cathain let Eleanora control the horse and, With a clanging sound, both of their swords clashed against each others.

‘I need to refrain from using my abilities to to escape from Penduline, It’ll be bad if the other soldiers catch up with us... I need to finish this quickly!’

The sword tarsal on Cathain’s sword jingled as it moved and Eleanora, who was now controlling the horse became surprised to see that he actually used it.

‘He used it... He didn’t threw it away this time...’

Eleanora become quite and controlled the horse as she lost in her past memories again.



Where the she had given him the same sword tarsal for his 23rd birthday but she never saw him using it.

‘He had probably thrown that away in the past, right?’

COUGH!

“YOUR MAJESTY!!”

Eleanora returned to her senses as Cathain coughed blood as he was about to have a backlash for using to much mana at once.

“GIVE UP, YOUR BODY CAN’T TAKE IT-”

BANG!

The commander couldn’t speak anymore as Eleanora shoot him on his chest, right after he let his guard down by seeing Cathain falling weak.

“Huh?”

Even the commander himself became stunt and sensing the right moment, Cathain used his powers to eradicate the commander’s magic powers completely.

The commander fall off from his horse and Eleanora let Cathain giddy up the horse as it listened to him more then her.

“Your shoting improved...”

“I-Is that s-so?”

Cathain grinned as he felt that the expression Eleanora makes whenever someone praises her is really cute.

‘It drives me crazy,’

‘Whenever i see you act cute and blushing,’

.

.

.

COUGH!!

“ARE YOU OKAY?!”

Eleanora’s face was full of worry as she saw Cathain panting hard to breath as he coughed blood again.

“Let me ride the horse and you take a rest! You might have injured your internal organs, given that you are coughing so much blood!”

“I-I am fine... It’s just the side affect of using my powers much, i will recover naturally-”

“YOU THINK I DON’T KNOW?!”

Cathain become stunned as Eleanora yelled at him angrily, out of concern.

His white robe was full of his own blood as he kept coughing blood all the way.

Eleanora knows he can’t heal himself by his own like she can, his power is dominant and easy to get out of control according to his emotions.

His uncontrollable raging fire mana is another reason of his violent temper and thus, he seldom uses it.

His body always feels hot because this.

Where, her mana is calm and easy to control; but the only problem is that it keeps her body cold all the time and makes her fall sick easily.

Eleanora turned to look at Cathain, who was staring at her with a grin and frowned.

‘Looks like his high pride won’t let me help him to ride the horse... Then,’

“Uncuff me... Let me heal you a little so that you can continue-”

“Are you worried about me?”

“Huh?”

Eleanora’s mouth twitched as she heard Cathain’s words and looked at him with an annoyed face.





“You won’t let me ride the horse, won’t let me heal you... Then do you want us to get caught by the Rua soldiers and die together?”

Cathain’s lips curved up into a smile before he used his magic to melt the lock of the silver cuffs, to uncuff her hands.

“I won’t mind dying together with you...”

He spoke as he rubbed her wrist, which was bruised because of wearing the silver cuffs for too long.

“But i don’t want to die,”

Eleanora spoke as turned around and started to ride the horse, where Cathain smiled bitterly.

‘If you know that i recall the past seven years and all my visions again... Would you still treat me like this?’

.....

‘She only started to accept me recently because i didn’t remembered anything and her conscience couldn’t let her treat a man coldly who doesn’t even have his memories, right?’

Cathain felt his heart ache with pain again as he wrapped his hands around Eleanora’s waist and dropped his head to rest on her shoulder.

He knows how cruelly he acted towards her in the past from his visions, which has been drastically changed now.

He doesn’t need to see the ending to know why she hates him or refuses to accept him.

‘I don’t want you to treat me coldly again... I can’t bear it when you look at me with indifference,’

‘Am not telling you to love me... Just let me love you and don’t push me away,’

His grip on her waist tighten up as he started to feel insecure in his heart again.

Fear that she might push him away again.

‘Your Majesty...’

Eleanora giddied up the horse as she felt Cathain’s mana being unstable again.

‘His condition is getting worse, i can’t take the shortcut either...’

The shortcut is in the south but she can’t take that route as it would be easy for the enemy to predict this and catch them.

They could try to break through the river, but with Cathain’s current condition; they can’t do that.

Their army camp is in the south-east, Demacia is east and Scunthorpe in south.

Where the enemy troops are gathered in Penduline, the western side.

But as they are currently is the west side of Penduline, before reaching the Scunthorpe in south;

They have to go through the northern mountains first to reach Demacia in east and then reach the Scunthorpe in the south, if they don’t take the short cut.

‘The north mountain is full of snows and really cold... It might be dangerous for me but it’s range is the roughest in the whole Rua kingdom, not to mention Penduline.’

‘It’s a bit far, but we can avoid the eyes of Rua army if we head towards the north mountains.’

‘Hold on a little, Your Majesty!’

Penduline, Army camp~

“How is his highness?”

“He will wake up soon,”

“Useless! i never thought he would be worse then his father! They are just drowning our kingdom!”

The war commander clenched his fist as his shoulder, which was shot by Eleanora was bandaged.

“The investigation said they are heading towards north, not south-east?”

“Yes, Commander.”

“They must be trying to go through the north mountains to reach Demacia in the east first... We can’t let them escape,”

‘They can certainly hide from us if they are in north mountains, But we can’t miss this opportunity.’

‘This is our last chance!’

‘His highness is in no condition to lead the army right now, if we continue as we are, we will lose for sure,’

‘This is the only chance to turn the war if we can capture the emperor and the future empress!’

‘The roads of the mountain is complicated and their movement will be restricted because of this, once we sent our troops it wouldn’t be long to capture them...’

“SEND ALL THE AVAILABLE TROOPS IN THE NORTH MOUNTAINS!!!”

“WE MUST CATCH THE EMPEROR AND THE FUTURE EMPRESS…!”

“YES, COMMANDER!!!”
