Saving The Abandoned Empress Chapter 2

Chapter 2: “Hide The News”

Eleanora’s Pov~

I am four months pregnant. A year ago, after my second miscarriage, The royal physician said I was unable to bear a child anymore.

I didn’t know what to do, how to keep going.

This was the one thing that I had pinned all of my hopes on for my fate to change, for him to change.

I tried every dicine, dication they told to do. I prayed to the god to make him recognise my efforts, my love for him.

I did everything i could do, but now am feeling tired. I had always tried everything to keep his attention at .

.....

As i was a knight commander, i wasn’t all soft and delicated like those other ladies.

So before i married him, I lost weight, tried to make myself prettier, and dedicated myself to my empress duties.

We were the most successful empire in the world and a part of that was due to . I thought if I could make him successful then he would pay back in kind.

However, the longer ti went on, the colder and more abusive he got. He told to prove my worth to him, i bought down every enemies and land he desired.

But whenever he had laid with in the past it had always been cold, clinical, as if he was performing a duty rather than enjoying himself.

He never visited in person. Just call in his office whenever he needed . But now i think, he only called whenever Jena was unavailable.

Those short monts that he indulged had been everything to . The only tis he had ever touched with intimacy.

My skin would send sparks wherever our bodies t, and his scent would intoxicate .

I wanted more and more of him, but once he was done he would fix himself and leave.

No apology, no sympathy.

He would rather see suffer than give even an ounce of love or affection. He couldn’t even spare the decency of a glance. His lack of respect for was evident.

I can’t stand it anymore and i want to leave this place.

I ran outside into the palace garden and the cold fresh air hit my face as I breathed it in.

The wind bit at my cheeks where my tears had fallen, forcing a chill through my body. I run my hands on my slightly bulged belly.

I wanted to tell him the news of my third pregnancy to him after this banquet.

As i always lost my child right after the doctors confird the news, So i didn’t even called or told anyone about this right after i felt the new existence of life, inside .

I didn’t wanted this child to et the sa fate as the previous ones. But now am glad i didn’t.

If he heard about it right now, I knew they would be thrown aside – just as how I had been discarded.

He might even kill it with his own hands because of Jena’s child. Because if another child appears then it might beco a threat to her child.

He loves her so much that he imdiately made her queen and decleared her child as a heir.

I could see now that it had been for the best that I brought no children into this family. No child would make his feelings change for , it was naive of to think so before.

I was in an impossible situation. Every part of wanted to run away, but this empire needed .

I knew damn well that Jena would burn this empire to the ground if she beca empress. She hadn’t had any training and I was yet to witness a single intelligent remark in her.

Literally she was just all about a pretty face and barely knew about anything. But what about my own health and the baby am carrying?

Hadn’t I suffered enough?

Four years was way too long to wear my heart on my sleeve for him. He had made a mockery of my love for him and couldn’t even respect out of duty anymore.

I need to head back but just a little while longer I want to forget about everything, waiting for back at the abandoned palace where i live alone.

Another hour passed and I knew it was finally ti.

But suddenly i saw a man with light blonde hair was standing there, wearing a white coat, watching intently.

As i was wearing a dress, so i didn’t had my sword with so i didn’t dared to approach him directly.

However, the man turned his back and hid behind the trees before i could even co close.

He looked... kinda gloomy?

I was taking my steps very cautiously as am not alone now. I might hurt my child if i act recklessly.

But when i finally manage to reach the trees there was no one there. It was like there had been no one there at all.

Had i imagined the whole thing? I had just gone through sothing extrely traumatic, it was possible i was seeing things and needed so food and sleep.

My mind had been pushed to the brink and I knew I was close to snapping as am pregnant. I didn’t wanted another experience like what i had just seen.

I knew the news would have spread by now about Jena’s pregnancy, and I knew people would be looking at with pity.

However, I could not risk them looking at like I was insane. I was still an empress.

My position was now hanging by a thread and I could not risk another reason for the nobles to turn against .

But that man’s feature reminded of soone.

Then i shook of the idea out of my head as there is no way it can be him. He didn’t even attended the annual banquet, why would he co here in the garden?

Maybe am just too tired.
