The Abandoned Empress Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Chapter 115

Initially, I thought of leaving the place right after taking a look at her face, but I impulsively asked her to dance at the sight of her enthralling beauty. My young lady with her wavy hair pinned up in one knot was wearing a light green dress, which was unusual. She looked fresh and bright like buds shooting forth in spring or a light illuminating the darkness.

Tia grabbed my hand with a fascinating smile. The warmth of her hand comforted my emptiness. I whispered into her ear that she was beautiful today.

‘Ti, stop like this, so I can confidently hug my lady in front of all the people here!’

I didn’t know how to stop feeling sad as my dance was coming to an end with music playing.

When I attended the banquet, I definitely wanted to see her face, but I was being greedy now. There was not much ti left now, but there were so many things I hadn’t done with my lady.

When I recalled Carsein telling boastfully that he went to the village with her, I really felt frustrated and upset. So, I reluctantly asked her to co with to the village in the commoners’ area. I felt so happy when she readily responded she would love to.

I thought this was the last ti I would see her, but I had one more chance to see her. I felt like I was walking on air.

“I’m here to see, Lady Monique.”

“Sorry, Allendis. She can’t see a visitor now,” the butler said.

“Why?”

“She is sleeping because she doesn’t feel well.”

She is not feeling well? I frowned unconsciously when he said that rather arrogantly.

Why is she sick? She looked okay when I saw her at the banquet. Is the butler trying to stop from seeing her at her father’s order?

“What’s the problem?”

“She had so fever, so her father told her to take a rest.”

“Let wait then.”

“I don’t know when she will wake up.”

I was upset with the young butler. If it’s true that her father was intentionally stopping from seeing her, I would wait here indefinitely. If she was really sick, I really needed to et her and check her condition. Otherwise, I felt I could not feel relaxed.

“You’re arrogant as a re butler here. How co you are talking to a noble man like this?

“… I’m sorry.”

“Enough. If she wakes up, just let her know I am waiting. ”

Giving him a piece of my mind, I looked down at the basket with the baby cat, while waiting for her for a long ti.

As the day ca closer when I had to join the delegation leaving for the Lua kingdom, as I promised to the emperor, I beca more anxious. I was afraid the cat might not be able to survive without . Even so, I couldn’t take the cat with , as she was sensitive to the changing environnt. In the end, I took the cat here to see if I could leave her with Tia.

Although she seed to have no emotions on the surface, my little silver-haired girl was warm-hearted, indeed. I thought she would take care of the kitten very well, hoping against hope that she could recall whenever she saw the cat.

“It’s been a long ti, Tia.”

“Huh? It’s only been three days since we t last. ”

The silver-haired girl who ca in with her maid looked a little pale.

‘I hear you have beco an apprentice knight, so you should be strong, Tia. Of course, you look much better than before.’

When I first started practicing fencing with her, she was very weak. She used to gasp for breath when she ran even a short distance. As the season changed, she used to get sick frequently. I also found out that she often passed out. Compared to that, she may have gotten a lot better recently.

I was upset at her haggard look, and my heart ached when she said we t only three days ago.

‘The three days that seed to be so long to was ‘only three days ‘ to you.’

Three days. It was a very long ti for the lovers, but not very long for friends.

I could not help but hide my bitter feelings as the three days seed to show how close people felt toward each other.

At first, we were so close, and there were no other lovers than us. How did we end up being estranged from each other like this? Maybe it’s a good thing. Even if I leave, it won’t be too hard for you.

“It must be very difficult for you,” she said.

I was deeply touched when she said that. She once said that, talking about my mory that even my family mbers were scared about, my cursed mory that can accurately recall anything that I have seen or heard at any ti and anywhere. I was speechless as I was so grateful when she said that.

‘Don’t you think I’m miserable, Tia? Don’t you feel it’s terrible that I rember everything about you without forgetting it at all? Aren’t you scared of because I can collect all the information about you to infer all your emotions and thoughts? ‘

My lovely lady, I keep turning to you. It was you who comforted , praising my cursed mory highly when others were so scared of it. You are so cruel because you fascinate all the more when I have to leave you soon. As I know that you an well, and as I know your pure heart better than anybody else, you are so lovely as you are the only one in the world who understands . You are truly ruthless because you make keep longing for you even while I’m looking at others.

‘What should I do about you, beautiful and cruel Tia?’

I looked at her for a long ti, who was so happy to see my kitten, Tia. I wanted to rember her wavy hair, her neat silver eyebrows and long, thick eyelashes, sharp nose, sweet pink lips, slender face and slender body that hardly looked like a knight for a long ti, even her white fingers stroking the kitten. I also rembered her smiling shyly as if she noticed my intense gaze on her.

“Allen, how about playing chess? We haven’t in a long ti.”

‘You’re still avoiding queen, Tia.’

I knew that since I played chess with her when we were children.

As if she rejected her fate to beco the empress, she rarely touched the queen, even when she could beat by using it. Instead, she was obsessed with knights and rooks as if it reflected her desire to be a knight and succeed the family.

“Can you give a piece of advice, Allen?”

I never thought I would tell her sothing that I vowed I would never let her know.

I still wanted to have her stay by my side without being interested in sothing like a queen.

As she was in danger if she was with , I thought I couldn’t help it. I repeatedly told myself that it was okay, although nothing was fine.

Only one of the limitations of her unconsciousness was lifted, but she changed so much compared to , a genius. After playing chess, I stood up, feeling frustrated more than ever. When she asked when I would like to go to the village with her, I felt light-hearted again.

Suddenly, I felt empty. Can I live away from you when I am now glad, and now sad like this?

“Allen, what should they do if those with shadows want to escape from them?”

Shadow?

Although you are shining brightly, I sotis notice darkness in your eyes, Tia.

Only now you seed to have realized it. It looks like you think it’s a shadow to you.

Do you want to get out of the darkness and go out to the world of light now, my lady?

But Tia, you are asking the wrong person. As soone who is buried in the dark, always locked in his shadow, I can teach you one thing, naly, avoiding the light and hiding in the shadow. Since I have never been out to the world of light, I don’t know a fundantal solution.

I don’t know how to free you from your shadow. Could you let know if you figure it out soday? Can you tell how to get out of this darkness and how to get out of this damn shade.

I see. You’re shining brightly, and you want to shine more brightly. As I was going after you, I had to be your shade all the ti. I was your shadow.
