Saving The Abandoned Empress

35 “Unannounced Guest”

Eleanora’s POV ~

After bidding away my father, i was about to enter my house when i suddenly heard the sound of a carriage stopping by infront of our gate.

‘What the hell?’

The person, who came down from the carriage was no other then Prince Dominic.

I just kept staring at him as i couldn’t think straight for a moment.

“I, Second Prince of the Arendell Kingdom, Dominic De Caisson Arendell, greet the Princess Eleanora Ariande La Dalton.”

“H-huh.. Ooh! greetings..”

I shuttered with my greetings as i didn’t expect him to visit me. In our last meeting, we were rather distanced and talked formally.

“It’s okay, Relax... Cousin!”

.....

He said and i just kept staring at him.

“Wait.. Don’t you know that we are cousin’s?”

“Yes, Yes, Of course.. I just.. Father just left so..”

This was real embarrassing! I forgot that he was my maternal cousin for a moment!

My mother, Eunicelia Alexander Dalton was actually Princess Eunicelia De Leonardo Arendell, the blood sister of the current king, Caisson De Leanardo Arendell.

So this made Prince Dominic and me as cousin’s.

But my mother seldom contracted her family thus we was not so close and he died at the age of fourteen in my previous life.

“Will you not invite me inside?”

Prince Dominic asked and i awkwardly lead him inside of our house.

As we took our seats, Maria and the other guest went outside to bring some desserts for us.

So it was only me, Prince Dominic and his aid Hayden beside us. Time went by and none of us spoke a thing, so i started the conversation first.

“Let’s be honest, Prince Dominic. You are not here just to pay me a visit, right?”

His lips curved upward and i could see a faint smile in his face. His golden eyes was shining more brightly under the sunlight.

But something was telling me that he is not that simple he pretends to be. He gestured his aid something and Hayden politely bowed to him before he went out.

“So, it was true... Cousin is indeed very smart.”

“What do you want?” I asked with a cold face and wary eyes.

“Your Father contacted me before leaving that i keep an eye on you, in case you fall for some random guy.”

“...”

Prince Dominic spoke and i shoot him glares. There is no way father sent him to keep an eye on me.

“Don’t be so prejudice... I promised someone that i will help her. But it seemed like i need your help to do this.”

“Let me guess, this has something to do within this empire and as you are not a part of this empire you can’t act rashly so you need my help?” I

asked with a smrik and he clapped.

“As expected, you are too clever only when you are sane.”

“...”

I frowned as i couldn’t understand the meaning behind his words.

“Get to the main point.”

“Okay, But let the main charecter come in first.”

After he said this, i heard the door opening and too my surprise, it was priestess Liana!

“I, Priestess Liana, greet the holy saintess Eleanora Ariande.”

“Please take a seat, Priestess.”

She seemed like a mystery too me, there was no Liana or Dominic in my previous life.

But both of them are sitting infront of me now, alive.

She wears all white and covers her body. So, except her caramel brown eyes i can’t see any other part of her body.

“So can you tell me now, What you need my help with?”

I asked as i couldn’t think of anything they need my help with.

Then suddenly, Liana got up from her seat and kneeled with her head down beside me. Even Dominic was surprised by her action, not to mention me.

“Priestess! What are you doing?”

“Princess, Please help me... My sister was taken as a slave when we was in the empire... Please help me to save her!”

Her voice felt familiar but i couldn’t recognise it. I helped her to get up and sit beside me. She was crying very badly.

At that time, Maria bought tea and some cakes for us and i dismissed them as i felt like she would prefer it.

After sometime, Liana finally calmed down and started to tell me everything. When she was three, she was kidnapped and sold as a slave to a farm house.

There she started to grow up with other slaves and there was a girl named Jennie, who had helped her always.

Jennie was four year older then her and took care of her.

But a few months ago, when Liana turned fourteen, Jennie who was only eighteen was sold to a nobleman’s house as a slave.

She tried every means to reach her, but couldn’t.

Then she ran away from the farm house and accidentally rescued Dominic who almost died and healed him with newly awaken, healing powers.

And now, to rescue her, Liana needs my help.

But something feels off... Was it really a mere

coincidence for her to meet the dying Dominic there and she awakened his powers right at that moment?

Well, something feels missing.

“What will i get if i help you?”

I asked as i knew things was not as simple as it seemed to be.

And hearing my question it felt like they was prepared for this.

Even if Liana is a priestess and Dominic is a prince, they can’t intervene with the nobles in another empire.

For onlookers we looked like a ten year old girl, conversing with two fourteen year older teenagers but it was more like a negotiation between adults.

“I will help you change your fate.”

Liana said and i widened my eyes in shock. My heart skiped a beat.

What does she knows? And how?

“Although it’s not revealed to others but Liana can foresee the future which might cause chaos for people, This was also how she found me.”

Prince Dominic spoke as he took a sip of tea.

So, that’s it. Now it makes a little sense... But does she knows about my future too?

Even if i put up a calm composer, my legs was shaking underneath my dress.

“Yes, My sole purpose is to find and save my sister.”

Liana spoke and i felt like she was hinting that she won’t reveal anything. But i can’t trust her fully.

“Then what did you see in my future?” I asked warily.

“I can’t tell you as am afraid the future might change drastically... but all i can let you know is, i will help you no matter what and whenever you need me, Only if you help me this time.”

There was sparkle light in her brown eyes that was telling me that i can trust her.

A strong will to protect her sister. Like my father, who always wants to protect me.

And how i want to protect him this time.

But, should i really agree to help someone whom i meet for the first time today as well when she feels a little suspicious?
