The Abandoned Empress Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Chapter 280

“Sein!”

“…”

“Co to your senses, Sein!”

“… Tia? ”

When I called his na over and over again, his tightly closed eyes opened. I was reflected in his blurry blue eyes.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Hey, it isn’t ti to worry about . Why were you so reckless to fight alone? Are you crazy?”

“My little girl, you are really okay to scold like this. I’m glad to see you are okay.”

A faint smile ca to his lips. I felt heartbroken to see that. When he was injured last sumr, he ca near to ruining his shoulder if sothing went wrong, but he was really resilient and full of energy. But he was now so weak.

He said with a forced smile when I looked at him with trembling eyes, “Hey, I’m not such a weak guy…”

“…”

“I’m just awfully tired. That’s all…”

“Sein? Sein!”

No matter how many tis I called him, his closed eyelids did not open again.

I put my trembling hand to the tip of his nose. I was scared after confirming his breathing was weak.

No! I can’t lose you like this!

Looking around desperately, I saw the woman with dark hair shivering with her face turned white at a distance. Pushing hard the knights who tried to stop , I stood in front of her.

When I watched her looking up at blankly, I felt like I would hurl abuses at her, but I barely put up with my anger. For now, I needed her help desperately.

“…Lady Jena.”

“…”

“Please, please save Sir Carsein. ”

Jiun had no answer. Biting my lips, I politely asked her for help, but she shook her head, closing her lips tightly. I began to feel my anger was raging again at her clear rejection of my request.

“Are you going to pretend to be indifferent to him in this situation? You can use divine power, can’t you?”

“…”

“Please save him. ”

“… I can’t.”

“You can’t?”

At that mont, I lost my temper.

I said, firmly grasping her shoulder, who was lowering her head, “It’s my last warning. Treat him right now!”

“I can’t.”

“Don’t you know that he was heavily injured while trying to protect you by holding you in his hands?”

“I can’t. I really can’t!”

“Are you crazy?”

“I would like to use my divine power, but I really can’t!”

I gnashed my teeth to see her black eyes welled with tears. How cruel she is!

How long are you going to make poor execues by saying your divine power is incomplete?

“If you’re going to make excuses by saying your divine power is not complete, just shut up!”

“My divine power… It doesn’t work on people …”

“I told you not to make any poor excuses!”

“I’m serious…”

Tears dropped from her black eyes. I released my grip on her shoulder to hear that.

Although I didn’t want to believe it, my cold reason told what she said was true.

“Nonsense…”

How can I believe that? Can’t you use it for the people? Then, what about Carsein?

I clenched my teeth because an ominous feeling kept coming back to my mind.

‘Let stay calm, Aristia. There must be so way. Oh, if I can invite the High Priest even now…”

“Tia, he’s okay. So, calm down. ”

Ugh?

When I hurriedly turned my head, the silver-haired knight, who was making a worried expression, ca into my view.

“Daddy?”

“Tia.”

Coming to with big strides, he said, patting my shoulder, “I was a bit late because I brought a royal doctor here. According to the doctor, he passed out because he bled too much. So, I sent a man to the temple. Though he was in serious condition, he can hang in there until the High Priest arrives here. So, you don’t have to worry about it. ”

“Whew!…”

Only then could I breathe freely and take a look at the surroundings around . Royal doctors were busy treating the wounded, including Carsein. Earl Penrill and the emperor were questioning Marquis Mirwa, and the royal knights were taking care of the enemy bodies, trying to find so personal items to identify them.

Suddenly, I blushed. Did Carsein really pass out in the presence of so many people here?

“Are you okay? Aren’t you hurt anywhere?”

“Yes, I’m fine, Daddy.”

“What a relief! You can feel relaxed because the doctors said everybody would be safe, except for one who was killed.”

“Yes, Daddy.”

When I responded, embarrassed, he took out a handkerchief with a more relaxed look and wiped the blood stains on my face. Then, he stopped for a mont, while putting his hand on the cloak, then said, folding the handkerchief.

“Take a break here. Let report to the emperor for a mont.”

“Sure, Daddy.”

I was puzzled, watching him fading away, because I felt a bit uncomfortable.

It’s strange. Why do I feel like this? Obviously, he said Carsein could hang in there, and everyone would be fine except for one dead man…

Wait a minute. One dead person? Not two?

When I looked around hurriedly, I saw a young knight moaning, holding his chest.

‘Sir Spia, you’re safe!’

I smiled because I was glad to see him safe, when my eyes t his. Given that he frowned a lot, I quickly walked toward him to tell him the High Priest would arrive soon.

“Sir Monique, are you okay?”

“Yes, I am fine, but Sir…”

“I see. I’m glad you’re okay. ”

He moaned, holding his chest while slowly raising his body. I said, supporting him as he was staggering, “Hang in there a little more. Soon the High Priest will be here.”

“Really? Then I have to solve it before he arrives. ”

“Pardon? Solving it? What do you an…”

“I an this.”

Suddenly I felt sothing hot in my belly. I blinked blankly at the situation where I could not understand.

What the heck?

“How stupid! Can’t you notice what happened to you?”

The man whispered after pulling out a dagger by turning it by a half, which was stabbed deep enough up to its handle. I wanted to say sothing, but I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even scream. In an instant, I felt dizzy and my body lost strength.

I had sweat all of a sudden and the pain all over my body.

“Lady Monique!”

While I was feeling dizzy, I saw several knights quickly approaching , let alone my father running toward and the emperor standing next to blankly.

As if I was so funny, Sir Spia was laughing heartily. My father pulled out the dagger and tried to hit him who was still laughing at , but other knights hastily stopped him. The royal doctor raised his head with a frown. And the emperor held in his arms with an awkward expression for the first ti in his life.

What the heck is he saying to now?

When I was puzzled at that mont, I suddenly began to hear all kinds of noises around .

I heard sobody walking away quickly, sobody getting after his n to do sothing, and soone hastily searching for sothing…

But what I could hear most clearly among all the noises was his urgent call.

“…Tia, Aristia! ”

“…”

“Co to your senses. Don’t lose consciousness! ”

“Your Majesty…”

I suddenly felt like crying.

“Cough.”

So red liquid that I coughed up wetted his white robe. But he continued to speak to without caring at all, “The High Priest will be here soon, so you should hang in there until then. Okay?”

“Yes….I got it…”

“You don’t have to answer. Please don’t lose consciousness. Never, ever, lose consciousness. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty…I’m sorry…”

“Please! I’m not saying this to want to hear you saying you’re sorry! How co you ended up being like this…”

He hardened his face, and his voice was very angry.

When I saw his trembling eyes, as if he was hurt, I felt heartbroken because I realized that his expression was familiar to .

When did he start looking at like that?

Suddenly, I recalled an episode in the past.

That was what he said to , when I put up with the insults from the princesses of the five kingdoms when they stayed in the empire as candidates for his spouse while he was still the crown prince, as proposed by the noble faction. Looking back, he said that with bitter feelings, but I didn’t realize it because of my prejudice towards him. I simply apologized to him that I caused trouble to the imperial family.
