184 “Glory To The Future Empress”
‘Am i seeing things?!’
‘What is the duke doing here?!’
‘They are suppose to attack Penduline borders today! What are they doing in here?!’
The vice commander of Rua Army was unable to react because of the sudden imperial fleet.
“The enemy ship is approaching! Vice commander, we await your orders!”
“CREATE A PATH, WE CAN’T LET THEM GET CLOSE!”
“We can’t, Vice commander!!! The enemy has sorrounded us!!!”
“STOP THEM! SHOOT THEM!!”
The vice commander panicked but then he froze as a faint light glowed from the main imperial ship.
.....
Alexander hold a long rifle in his hands as he closed his one eye to aim at sothing.
‘Where...is...he aiming?’
The vice commander’s eyes widened with shock aa he turned his head to look at the huge oil tank behind him with a horrific expression.
‘No away!’
“BLOCK THE BULLET!!!”
BANG!
As soon as Alexander aid it perfectly and shot it, the bullet passed through the Rua army’s vice commander and hit the oil tanks directly.
“NOOOO!!!”
BLAST!
Instantly, the enemy ship blast out by the bombs they were preparing to throw at the imperial fleets because of the oil tanks, which was blast by Alexander.
He lowered the long rifle and watched the enemy ship sank into the deep river coldly, with his dark blue eyes.
“Was there any damage to our troops?”
“No much, but we’re currently in the middle of repair... It won’t take much ti.”
“I see,”
Alexander replied as he wanted to rush to Eleanora right at this mont, if he could.
‘She is really like her mother... I hoped that she could be a little selfish this ti, think about herself, but she keeps putting herself in danger.’
“In the na of the emperor of the Valentino empire, We will remain stationed here and destroy the Rua’s ship.”
“We will cut of their supplies till there is no more bullets or wheat are left. They can’t bla us since they provoked us first,”
Alexander took a deep breath as he closed his eyes, before he opened them again and spoke out loudly for everyone to hear.
“EXCEPT THE NORTH PENDULINE, THE REST OF THE CAPITAL OF THE RUA KINGDOM IS NOW PUBLIC PROPERTY AND THE IMPERIAL ARMY WILL BE CLAIMING IT!”
[A/N: Public property- the land without an owner, as the imperial army defeated them and now claiming it]
“IN THE ACCORDANCE OF THE EMPEROR’S ORDERS, FOLLOWING THE CROWN PRINCESS’S STRATEGY; THIS WAR WILL END WITH THE EMPIRE’S VICTORY!”
“GLORY TO OUR EMPIRE, HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR AND...”
Alexander felt his throat becoming sore as he tried to utter the last sentence of his speech, which he didn’t wanted to.
He fought against his emotions to act rationally and utter the words, which he desperately hoped for not to be ntioned again.
He clenched his fist into a ball tightly as he gritted his teeth before he spoke out loud again.
“...GLORY TO HER HIGHNESS, THE FUTURE EMPRESS!!!”

“It tastes good right? I am good at cooking afterall,”
Cathain, who cooked a bird by lit up a fire with his powers after hunting it asked; a proud look on his face, which wanted to get so praise from her.
“...”
‘It doesn’t tastes good at all...’
Eleanora was devastated as she didn’t knew either she should chew it or throw it.
As she couldn’t waste food neither eat it.
‘Aaaah!!!! What should i do?!!! What’s up with this flavour!!!’
“It should taste fine. Two years ago, during the Republic War, everyone liked it when i was in the charge of the cooking...”
‘Thank God, i ignored you back then... Otherwise i wouldn’t be alive today-‘
‘Wait! Two years ago?!’
“Did you recovered your mories?”
Eleanora asked with a little horror in her heart, for so reason, she didn’t wanted him to rember the past.
Recall those visions he used to see about their past or know about it.
Cathain stared at her widened blue eyes, which contained a little horror and decided to speak in a low voice.
“No? I rember it because B-Brayden told ! That i can cook when i left to rescue you.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, why would i lie?”
The horror in her blue eyes faded and beco filled with relief, where Cathain’s heart beco filled with guilt for lying to her.
‘Am sorry... So sorry... But i can’t let the little acceptance of in your heart fade away, even if it ans lying all my life!’
“Don’t eat, give that at... I will make it taste even better.”
“...You? No, it’s dangerous!”
“Don’t worry, i learnt cooking a long ti ago...”
‘In my past life,’
Eleanora smiled at Cathain as she managed to prevent him from eating the bland tasting at and started to seasoning it with salt and sauce, which she found in his bag.
‘If i didn’t knew we were in the middle of the war, i would definitely think that he ca to a picnic with ... He bought almost all the necessary things.’
After seasoning the at and then cooked the undercooked ats again, before she passed them towards him to eat.
“It’s really delicious... You can’t get this taste elsewhere. It’s amazing!”
“Am glad it tastes good...”
‘Otherwise it would be a problem if you get bad stomach in this snowy mountain,’
Eleanora felt relief as the food tasted eligible after she cooked it again.
“What’s your secret? Will you teach once we are back in the Empire?”
“You an cooking?”
“Yes,”
“Am not actually that good at it...but, i will teach you if you ever co to our house.”
“It doesn’t matter... I will learn how to cook more perfectly and serve you als everyday,”
Cathain spoke as he smiled at her gently, which made Eleanora blink a few tis to get back her sense.
“...The at is burning, I-I will go to cheak on them!”
Eleanora turned away in the na of checking the at, as a bitter feeling rose in her heart.
‘I often cooked for you... When we was married, and you used to like it too.’
‘But after the war with Rua... You forbid from cooking for you again, and everything started to change from then too;’

[A/N: Okay, this is just Eleanora’s pov of the past on the last paragraph.
According to the informations from the past chapters we all know, She was ntally traumatised after this war, as a lot of knights died for protecting her.
So, the past Cathain forbid her from cooking because he was concerned that she might get into an accident if she cooks in that condition, but he was a damn tsundere and this made her misunderstood him even more.]
