Saving The Abandoned Empress

76 Chapter 76 ~ “Go Back To The Past”

The man wore a black cape, which covered his face and beside him, stood another person.

Alexander’s handsome face has aged a lot in just three years, he become thinner and weaker as he didn’t had any will to live anymore.

He felt like a complete failure, who couldn’t save his wife or daughter.

The moment Alexander’s eyes fall on Eleanora’s dead body, his body started to tremble.

Eleanora was lying in the emperor bedrooms big bed where she couldn’t even enter when she was alive.

The room was filled with the flowers she liked.

Laying peacefully wearing a gorgeous dress that she used to wear before she died.

Her hair was neatly combed up and if Alexander didn’t knew that she is dead, he would think that she is just sleeping.

Alexander knelt down beside Eleanora as tears kept pouring out from his eyes.

.....

“Ele... Dad is sorry, Dad couldn’t save you... Don’t forgive me... Only if i had protected you better and earlier... take you out from here...”

Alexander’s last words made Cathain shiver. Take her out from here?

From him?

No, he can’t allow that, but he is also too guilty to say that out loud to Alexander.

He is the one who imprisoned him, killed his daughter and grandchild.

It’s normal that he won’t want to keep her daughter near the person who murdered her.

But Cathain can’t help but feel heavy in his heart.

After Eleanora’s execution, he didn’t let anyone to bury her or held her funeral. Everyone questioned him but he shut them all.

At that time, he only wanted to keep her body in a corner for no reason. He didn’t even visited the room where she was kept for the first few months.

But gradually he started to look for the tiniest bit of things that proved the existence of a dead person.

He would often talk to himself, thinking Eleanora was beside him.

Or go to the abandoned palace which looks like a complete hunted house, full of darkness and spiderwebs.

He moved her all belongings to his room and finally, moved her dead body to his room.

Liana watched Cathain’s all craziness, frustration, guilt and love for Eleanora.

She saw how he used to cry like a madman in every night, screaming Eleanora’s name.

The more Liana saw Cathain going crazy slowly, the more guilty she become... it was a heavy feeling that she neither could take out or keep in.

Liana had to live even if she didn’t wanted to, where Cathain was living but no better then a dead person.

Alexander wanted to see the ends of the people who ruined his daughter and wife, So despite wanting to die, he had to live too.

Three people, who only wanted to die had to keep on living like a death person for years.

They all had the same regret, if only they could save her...

Then the person who was wearing the cape took it off and flaming red hair came to Liana’s view.

“D-Duke Richardo?”

Alberto Dion Richardo just look at Liana with an empty gaze. He didn’t wanted to talk much so he directly started the main point.

“Do you people want to save her?”

“Yes!”

Three people answered at the same time and Dion smilled.

“I can save her but i will need sacrificial souls... to turn back the time before it all happened.”

Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise, he can turn back the time?

“But... if we turn back the time without any memory, wouldn’t we end up doing the same thing again?”

Liana asked as she was unsure about this process.

“Only the one with strongest mana and power would be able to keep their memory. As an example, if you people turn back time, it will be Sir Alexander who will remember everything for sure.

Try your best to not change the future much...”

Dion explained but Liana still had her doubts, why would the duke of south wants to help them saving Eleanora?

“Duke... Why are you helping us?”

“Indeed, you are the only sane person here.”

“Tell me, whatever the price is, i will give you... including my life.”

Dion’s voice dropped as his eyes become full of sorrow and guilt.

“I don’t want your life, Just... save my sister who was locked up with your sister too... she was abused and harmed, later she...killed herself.”

Dion’s little sister, Diana Richardo was also locked up in the viscount place along with Liana’s sister Jena.

Diana was abused and raped... after Dion found her, she was unable to become normal for years.

And finally two months ago, she succeed in her suicide attempt.

Liana felt her heartache as she remembered about Jena... Yeah, she have to save her too and also,

Dominic De Caisson Arendell...

The man she schemed to kill so that her father would get Arendell’s support. She have to save him this time too.

Dion heavily sighed as he started to draw the magic circle and placed Eleanora in the middle of the circle.

The next view shocked them, Dion had shifted to a wolf form and turned back to normal in the next second.

So, the Richardo Dukedom of South never used their magic powers because they didn’t had any attribute of magic powers from the beginning.

Instead they were werewolves, blessed by the goddess of Moon, Selena.

“I won’t have any memories of this but i will know for sure that i have used up my powers to turn the time back. So, i hope you will keep your promise to save my sister, My Queen.”

Liana didn’t liked when she was called queen but she just nodded in response.

Then Dion started to talk about some details with Alexander when Cathain suddenly grabbed Liana in a corner.

“Your Majesty... what are you doing?”

He had kneeled down infront of her with his head hanging low. Liana tried to stand him up but he didn’t.

“Can you do me a favour?”

“Stand up first!”

“No, If the duke remembers everything, he will for sure keep Ele away from me... he will take her away.

I know i sound unreasonable to want her again after how i have treated her, i will try my best to help myself but can you please at least help Ele?”

Liana felt even more guilty as she remembered that she have a hand in for their tragic ending.

If it wasn’t for her, they would sure be a happy couple with their kids, right?

Liana made Cathain stood up and patted his shoulder.

“Of course i will help you... this is what i should do. I am the one who snatched your love away, i will return her to you and also help you...

I know i don’t deserve to ask for forgiveness but i want to atone by this.”

After saying this, Liana turned her head back... she couldn’t face Cathain anymore, she is too guilty to even ask him to consider her as a friend at least.

When they returned, Alexander looked at them with clear disgust and hatred.

“Let’s start the process...”

Alexander asked Dion as he stood in the magic circle and he informed them about the beginning of the destruction of this world.

But then, Dion suddenly paused.

“Wait... we need total five sacrificial including me...”

They were only four persons... so where could they find another person right now?

They also need to hurry up in case the Duke’s people come in and catch them.

But then suddenly someone came in and everyone was shocked because they didn’t expected that person.

That person’s eyes fall on the magic circle and a smile was seen on his face.

.....

They become terrified as they thought he was here to expose them and become wary.

The person sighed as he saw the wary look in their eyes and started to speak in a cold but serious voice, which presented his firm will to save Eleanora.

“I will be the fourth sacrificial... Let’s go back to the past to save our abandoned empress.”
