The Abandoned Empress Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Chapter 108

There were so guys trying to win over her heart as if they could appreciate her worth, including the royal guard apparently dispatched by the sly emperor for her security.

When I ca back to the capital, I hugged her as if to show off, controlling my raging annoyance. When I saw her hanging on to with a bright smile, my always present emptiness seed to lt away instantly. It was the first ti I felt such a feeling.

Her shyness and trembling from before was gone. Now this little girl with silvery hair initiated an embrace, and the texture of her soft hair wrapped around my hands was so lovely.

“Allen.”

Damn it! At first, I first approached her with the idea of taking her away from my brother Alexis, and I felt good when she paid attention to , but she beca too precious a woman to before I knew it. When I heard her calling my nickna shyly that no one else called, my empty heart was filled up with joy. When I saw my lady showing tears in her affectionate eyes, I felt so heartbroken.

Damn it! Now, I wanted to have all of her, not just her lovey eyes. Her blind trust in was still fascinating, but her other things were as precious as her trust, such as her faint smile, her calm voice calling Allen, her silvery hair sparkling like a river, and her golden eyes reflecting .

‘I’m trapped!’

I thought I had trapped her in my net, but suddenly, I found myself trapped in the net. I gave a hollow smile, but I thought this was not bad either. As long as she looked at , I could devote all of my body and soul to her, such as it was.

“Shall we move, Carsein?”

“Well, good.”

But I had to deal with this guy called Carsein de Lars.

His na was already familiar to . He was born in the sa year as , called a genius like and a duke’s son like . I heard that when it ca to swordsmanship, he was unmatched, but I was dumbfounded when I was treated as equal to him when he was only excellent in only one thing.

“Carsein, thanks for taking care of Tia while I was away.”

“… ”

“I wanted to see you once. I don’t know if I will see you often in the future, but I’m glad I can see you here like this.”

“What the heck?”

It looked like Carsein was not stupid, given that he noticed I hated him. While trying to smile at him gently, I stared at him sarcastically. I would not have done so in other places, but as he was in my lady’s house right now, I needed to control the expression on my face.

“Hey, I think I know what type of guy you are. Why don’t you show your true colors?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I’ve found out you’re trying to be kind to only in front of her. So, let see your true colors, dude!”

‘What the heck?’ I jeered at him. “Oh, you know what you’re doing, man. You look like a carrot guy!”

“What? Carrot guy?”

“Looking at the color of your hair, I think that’s a perfect comparison.”

“Hey, you little imbecile!”

“Are you going to challenge now, you childish jerk! Co on if you dare.”

I smiled sarcastically at him as he raged with anger, shocked by my outspoken behavior.

But I felt so upset when I learned that he had been around my lady during my absence.

“It looks like you have beco interested in Tia while I was away.”

“So what?”

“Piss off, when you can. She is mine. I won’t give her to anybody.”

“Why is she yours?”

“Dang it! What do you know about Tia, you bastard?”

I reflected on those mories one by one that vividly ca to my mind even without closing my eyes. I suddenly missed this little silver-haired lady. I have to go see her soon and give this jerk a warning.

Why do I miss her so much when I’m away from her only briefly? My lady, you feel the sa way, right? Hang in there. I’ll be back to you soon.

“She and I first t at two forty-three pm on the third day of the ninth month in 958 by the imperial calendar. That day, Tia was dressed in a simple blue dress, which was long enough to reach her knees.”

“… ”

“Since then, we’ve t a total of 561 tis. Today is our 562th eting. In terms of ti we spent together, it is 3,226 hours. ”

“… What?”

“We drank 1,358 cups of tea together. We drank lemon balm tea the most among them, a total of 373 cups. Next cos Hibiscus, 294 cups. We hugged 901 tis. I stroked her hair 1,384 tis. ”

The carrot guy’s face was contorted. I could see his face turning white little by little. I felt a bit relaxed to see that.

“So, how long did you spend ti with Tia? Can you rember?”

“You must be a crazy jerk!”

“Maybe.”

“Hey, does Tia know you are so crazy?”

“What do you think? Does she seem to know in your eyes?”

“Oh my god, you dumb bastard!”

I saw Carsein turning back and running away with a dumbfounded expression. Perhaps he will go bug her, insisting he’s going to reveal what kind of guy I am. Stupid guy. Do you think she is going to believe what you tell her? She has total trust in , dude. I’m sure she will bla you, advising you against any bad words about . If you still want to badmouth , just go ahead as much as you can.

“It’s not the right thing to talk about sobody behind his back, so I won’t listen, Carsein. ”

‘Yes, you don’t betray my expectations, Tia.’

When I saw her cutting him off, I was so proud of her.

She was indeed so lovely. My girl, mine, my love, my lady. I had beco obsessed with her, though it was who tried to have her obsessed with at first.

‘Just keep looking at like that, my lady. I’m going to look at you only.’

Just keep staying obsessed with just like I’m obsessed with you. Only long for just like I’m anxious to have you.

‘Beautiful, Tia. I want to have you, my lady. We’re going to keep getting along like this. Got it? My lovely and precious little girl.’

Her trust in and obsession with would not go away easily. Nonetheless, I was nervous. I was afraid she might not trust anymore. I was afraid she might look at sobody else with her golden eyes.

I thought I completely beat Carsein, but when he asked why I didn’t know she was sick because of excessive training, I was really scared and restless.

‘Why didn’t you tell about it, Tia. Why?

‘You can’t believe ? Or did he steal your heart while I was away? Or did the crown prince show interest in you? Why didn’t you tell ? Why?’

I felt like I was going crazy. Even though she looked at alone, even though her gaze at Carsein was far from affectionate, and even though she was so scared of the crown prince, I was still afraid she might desert . I was so anxious about her possible change of mind. What if I’m mistaken in my assumptions? I’ve co to the point I can’t live without Tia. I already knew how sweet and exciting it is to be around her.

Perhaps because of extre anxiety, I stopped thinking with the rationality that I was so proud of, so I made a terrible mistake that was irreversible.

“Would you trust , my lady? I can take off so of your burden.”

She showed infinite trust, but she wouldn’t reveal one thing about her. She didn’t tell how she got to have such deep darkness and madness.

I knew that it wasn’t easy for her to tell about it even if she trusted .

So, I did not ask her because that’s why I fell in love with her. I fell for her golden eyes filled with deep darkness and her maddened gaze. I thought she would be better off without curing it because I was afraid that after overcoming her inner darkness, Tia may discover her madness and abandon it. I was afraid that if she t those guys who noticed her bubbly personality and real worth, she might leave .
