The Abandoned Empress Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 279

At that mont, Sir Lank, who stopped the enemy’s sword, moved back a step, staggering.

“It’s dangerous! Move back!”

Even before I replied, I stopped the two masked n who charged toward all of a sudden.

Sir Lank grabbed his sword again and cut the enemy’s side. I could see the horse falling, Jiun falling from the horse and sobody wielding a sword.

“Lady Monique, co on!”

I pulled out the sword from the stabbed masked man.

Blood was gushing from his chest. I also saw blood flowing from Carsein’s back as he embraced Jiun from behind.

No!

“I have to help!”

“No, it’s impossible!”

I saw Carsein rolling his body quickly and lifting his sword.

Blood was dripping from his back, who barely stopped the attack.

“It’s dangerous to leave him untreated like that. Co on, we have to help him…!”

“Your safety cos first!”

“Sir Seymour!”

Although I shouted desperately, the three knights wouldn’t listen, battling the enemies.

I was getting nervous.

‘I can’t leave him like that.’

Biting my lip, I cut the masked man’s chest blocking .

“Lady Monique!”

“It’s dangerous…” The masked man was falling when sobody cut him from behind.

The mont I strained my eyes, soone pulled quickly.

Sir Seymour was moaning in pain. Blood was pouring out of him who held in his arms after throwing his sword.

“Are you alright, Lady Monique?”

Sir Seymour asked, staggering back, while Sir June blocked the enemies in front of him.

When I saw his face turning white and his pale lips, I was so heartbroken.

“Sir Seymour…”

“As you can see, it is dangerous. So, please …”

My arms trembled. Three wounded knights and Carsein. I was in despair because I could not choose between the two. I just felt helpless, with my hand holding the sword falling nerveless.

At that mont, I heard several horses galloping toward . I could hear it clearly amid all kinds of noises.

‘Are they reinforcent forces?’

I saw a ray of hope in them.

Please, co quickly …!

I cut the masked man trying to attack desperately and strained my eyes. It felt like eternity passed. The mont the person at the forefront finally ca into my view, I made a hollow smile, startled by his long hair fluttering in the wind. He had honey-colored hair.

“Oh my God! Marquis Mirwa!”

I saw Sir June grabbing the sword tightly, glaring. Sir Seymour also stepped forward, clenching his teeth to tackle the marquis.

Was he the culprit who planned this treason?

I sorted out my thoughts, watching him approaching slowly.

‘Can they hold out to the end?’

No, they could hardly hold out now. Not only the wounded royal knights but also Carsein who had to defend Jiun and was separated from them.

Should I give up? As the marquis’s target seed to be , the battle would end if he killed .

‘No!’

Shaking my head violently, I grabbed the sword tightly. I couldn’t not be his scapegoat. I didn’t practice fencing to give up so easily. The reason I practiced so hard despite my incompetence was because I wanted to live a life different from my past. Besides, there was no possibility that a bastard like the marquis could spare the eyewitness’s life.

Then, there is only one way left. I have no choice but to fight until I lose my life.

Is it because I was prepared to fight to death? The faces of precious people ca to my mind.

Lina, who was nagging while I was preparing, the knights of my family who always made laugh, and my colleagues at the 2nd Knights Division, Allendis who asked to stay in good health when he left and Carsein who was fighting, soaked in blood. And my father who was always my strong defender.

And the young man with blue hair who disappeared into the fog.

My eyes welled with tears. At this mont, when I could be facing my last monts, I missed them so much.

My father will be very sad when he sees my cold body after I am killed here. How would the emperor react? Would he feel very sad, too? Or would he turn away from because I have nothing to do with him any more?

I suddenly found my eyes blurred with tears. I stepped forward, wiping my eyes with my left arm.

The mont I charged toward the masked n after taking a deep breath, they suddenly turned and ran away all of a sudden. I didn’t know why, but I made eye contact with the three knights and quickly chased them. It was a golden opportunity for to save Carsein. At the sa ti, I had to get rid of them as much as possible before they joined Marquis Mirwa.

One step, two steps.

As the distance between and them got closer, I could see Carsein more clearly. When I saw him soaked in blood, I felt scared suddenly. But clenching my teeth, I wielded my sword against the masked man that I almost caught up with. Then I pulled out the sword stabbed deeply in his back after twisting it.

‘Hang in there a little more, Sein. Please.’

At that mont, Marquis Mirwa arrived ahead of and pulled out the sword, then got off the horse to cut Carsein.

“No! Sein!”

At the mont, I scread, sobody cut the masked man with a sword. Starting with that, those who seed to be the marquis’s n began to block the masked n one by one.

What the heck is this? What happened?

While I was confused by the unexpected situation, the marquis cut the masked man trying to attack Jiun, then turned to .

“Marquis Mirwa!”

I couldn’t figure out what it was, but he was my enemy because he was a wanted man.

When I grabbed the sword tightly, staring at him coldly, he ca one step closer to , wiping off the blood from the sword. My body was trembling a bit, but I lifted the sword, clenching my teeth.

At that mont, I heard sothing incredible, which was the noise of several horses galloping toward .

“Please!’

When I turned my head earnestly, my eyes were wide open.

It was sothing that I was longing for so much.

Dozens of horses galloping at full speed, soone in a white uniform fluttering in the wind, and the young man with blue hair.

“Oh my…”

Seeing them, I felt my legs felt like jelly, bending forward before I knew it.

I blankly watched the masked n disappearing, leaning on Sir June who hurriedly supported . The young blue-haired man who jumped off the horse ca to while the royal knights got into shipshape at the direction of Sir Penrill.

His rough breathing, sweaty hair, and disheveled clothing showed how fast he ca running here.

All kinds of emotions went through my mind. Joy, sadness, gladness, and feeling sorry … With all the emotions buried in my heart, however, I politely greeted in a calm tone.

“… I’m honored to see the Sun of the empire.”

He was silent. He was just staring at silently. However, unlike his calm appearance, his navy blue eyes were trembling trendously. He looked at silently for a while, then slowly opened his mouth, “…Are you okay?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I am fine. I would like to apologize for worrying you.”

When I replied, hiding my mixed feelings at the mont, he looked at with a hardened expression. I listened quietly because he tried to say sothing, but he only took off his cloak and wrapped it around , then left. He approached the three knights soaked in blood and said, “I’ll hear more from you later, so get first aid. I will never forget what you have done today.”

“Thank you so much, Your Majesty.”

When the three knights turned after bowing to him, Earl Penrill, the Captain of the Royal Knights, approached and said, “I am done coping with the situation, Your Majesty.”

“Nice job. Report to now. ”

“First of all, I dispatched several groups of royal knights to arrest the suspects and disard those including Marquis Mirwa and his n and tied them up. I also ordered them to give first aid to the injured knights, but their wounds are so deep that it’s difficult to cure them right away.”

Injured knights? Carsein, too?

When I looked around quickly, I noticed a young man with red hair closing his eyes in a blood-stained shirt. His closed eyes and pale skin ca into my view clearly.

My heart sank.
