Saving The Abandoned Empress

202 “Annul The Engagement”

‘How dare she?!’

‘She is going to sent us back? Just like this?’

‘She isn’t even the empress but already acts so high!’

Where the imperial knights behind Eleanora tried to hold back their laughter and nodded to obey her.

No one till now has ever dared to speak so frankly and teach those nobles a lesson. So they loved their future empress’s sense of unintentional humour a lot.

“Yes, Your highness.”

“Everyone, this way please.”

Sir Charles gestured the officials to go out, who sneered at Eleanora for having over confidence.

“We’ll see how you fight against the nature! This isn’t battlefield!!”

.....

But Eleanora paid no attention to them as she continued to think about how to stop this fire.

‘With the help of Rick, we can control the wind to rescue the stuck in people. Because if he tries to control the fire then it will only spread more.’

‘Brother Dom is also here, so he can help us with healing and Lennie can lead the medical team along with Duke Richardo to help the injured people...’

‘His Majesty can absorb the fire but he can’t hold on for much longer... I need to handle the situation here first and then help him,’

‘My ice magic would be a bad way to fight a large scale fire like this. We would have to wait for the ice to melt into water while all that time the fire is growing.’

‘Liquid water of water mages is the best medium for rapid extinguishment.’

“Sir Edmund, you lead the water mages to extinguish the fire and protect them.”

“Sir Charles, follow me to rescue the people.”

“My ice magic can’t extinguish the fire but it can hold them back for a little while. You all need to go in and help people out at the meantime.”

“Yes, Your highness!”

With the help of the new duke of Ravens to control the wind, people started to get out safely and the medical team lead by Duke Richardo helped the injured people with medical technology.

The crown prince of Arendell and Lady Raven helped by healing the severely injured people, as they lead the healers team.

The emperor kept controlling the fire so that it doesn’t spread more.

Where The crown princess lead the magicians and imperial knights to rescue the trapped people.

In a short time, almost all of the people were rescued but the fire couldn’t be extinguished yet.

Cathain felt his whole body burning hot because of controlling such a large scale fire, his face had turned red as his body got covered with sweat.

‘Just a little- i need to hang on...’

Right then, Cathain’s closed red eyes open wide as he sensed another energy absorbing the fire.

“FATHER!”

“YOUR HEALTH ISN’T WELL!!”

Cathain roared at his father, who started to control the fire to help him.

“You brat- are you taking revenge on me by yelling at me back?”

“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!”

“BACK OFF NOW!!”

“I CAN HANDLE IT!”

“Don’t worry... Am not gonna die without playing with my grandkids. Focus on controlling, you can yell at me later.”

Cathain pressed his lips together as his cheeks puffed up a little and he averted his gaze.

“Hey, Are you crying?”

“AM NOT! Smoke got into my eyes.”

“Yeah... The smoke got emotional. Like i have never seen you pouting before to hold back your tears.”

“AM NOT POUTING!”

Valerian chuckled as he felt like he has gone back to the time, when Cathain was little and would pout to hold back his tears after getting injured.

…

“I heard that she is the crown princess?”

“She is an ice swordmaster... How can she extinguish the fire?”

“But still she is trying her best to control the situation...”

“Can we really trust her?”

“What are you talking about? She did so much for us! Because of her, now our girls are free and work. Our children’s can also study!”

“But this situation is different...we shouldn’t expect much and keep watching.”

The people around Eleanora kept murmuring about their opinions, but she didn’t had time for this.

Then suddenly a tall building collapse and people gasped with horror.

Eleanora’s blue eyes widened as she felt the crushed building as the beginning of her past self collapsing.

The clock tower rang loudly as it hit 12 o’clock, like reminding her that, the countdown has began.

She knows that the past won’t repeat like before.

The current emperor won’t kill her, the current Jennifer won’t harm her, the current Alexander would protect her.

But just like how Dominic and the previous emperor is still alive, how this place still burnt down- she can’t shake off the fear that her fate can be changed otherwise.

She might not die like the past, but that doesn’t mean that she won’t die in some other ways.

Everything is happening just like the past, but more faster.

This same building had collapsed at the same time during her past life too.

Eleanora stood alone as people around her started to run away, in case the other buildings starts to collapse too.

But her mind was too occupied that she didn’t even noticed a brick falling down on her.

“ELEE!!”

“Papa?”

Alexander rushed to Eleanora with a worried face as pulled her back and the brick crushed on the ground.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes... Sorry... I got distracted...”

“Just be careful from now on...”

Alexander didn’t spoke much as he could understand what she was worrying about.

Even if he was at the borders when this incident happened on their past life, he was fully aware of the incidents in the capital.

“But wasn’t you with his excellency?”

“He is helping the emperor.”

“But his health-”

“Don’t worry, he might look weak but his magic isn’t.”

Alexander spoke as he looked around.

The whole place was burning down and without the help of the emperor to control the fire, this place would have already burnt down completely.

Just like the past timeline.

“Elee... You know about ‘Ice Outburst’ process, right?”

Alexander asked and Eleanora’s eyes widened as she nodded.

Like how the imperial family members with pure fire mana can control the fire and merge it with their own magic powers;

The Dalton’s who have rare ice magic can combine their powers together with a compatible persons magic.

Merging her powers with Cedrick, who is an Wind mage; they created ‘Wind Sword’ magic fusion.

This helps Eleanora to float in air by the help of Cedrick and her magical ice swords could be used like arrows to shot down enemies.

.....

Merging her powers with Cathain, who has pure fire mana, their merged powers created ‘Mana explosion’ magic fusion.

In this magic fusion, everything around them till a certain distance will be destroyed by field exploding because of the strong destructive power.

‘Ice outburst’ is a similar process, which can only be done by two people with the same magical powers.

Like Alexander and Eleanora, who have the same ice magic.

Alexander extended his both palms towards Eleanora and she put her palm against his, as they both closed their eyes to focus on merging their powers.

Their ice magic merges together and the clash between two same powers crushes their magic, which is painful compared to other magic fusions.

The ice mana in their body started melt down after their magic crushed each others powers.

“It’s Duke of Dalton!”

“What are they doing?!”

“Don’t tell me- is it the legendary ‘Ice Outburst’ magic fusion?!!!”

“We haven’t seen this for ages!!”

The clear sky become cloudy and Eleanora gritted her teeth as Alexander’s powers were much stronger then hers.

Which made her magic crush down more brutally and her body ache with pain.

A few drops of rain started to pour down and soon, it started to rain heavily.

The fire started to extinguish as the Ice Outburst magic fusion got more powerful.

Eleanora bite her lips as she focused on putting on more powers and people started to cheer up for her.

“You can do it, Captain!!”

“YES!! We believe in you!!”

“GLORY TO OUR FUTURE EMPRESS!!”

“GO ON, COMMANDER!!”

Cathain and Valerian looked up as they also guessed it was the Dalton’s Ice Outburst and stopped controlling the fire.

‘Elee...’

Cathain become worried as Eleanora was again using her powers beyond her capability.

‘She didn’t even recovered from her past injuries during the war properly and now she is using her power again!’

Alexander knew about this too, but he did it so that she can understand that she can change her past.

She failed to handle this matter in the past because she was alone.

But now she has everyone with her.

He knows that the past affected her very greatly, but if she doesn’t overcomes it now; she can never do it later on.

As the fire got completely extinguished, Alexander opened his eyes with shock as he saw Eleanora falling down because of exhaustion.

“ELEE!!”

“Papa...”

He caught her in time as he hold her in his arms with a worried face and Cathain, who was rushing towards her paused on his steps after hearing her words.

“Annul the engagement...”
