Saving The Abandoned Empress

38 “Change The System”

Everyone including Dominic and Liana, looked at the direction where the sword came from.

‘Ice Magic? Eleanora?’

Dominic was stunned as he never imagined that she would directly kill someone.

“Who are you! How dare you kill my guard?”

Viscount Willem shouted at Eleanora, who paid no attention to him.

She helped the girl to stand up, who was just about to lose her life.

“A massacre? Do you really think so little of human life’s?”

But then he noticed the ice sword that was peirced through the guards chest.

‘Ice magic? Dalton’s? Eleanora Dalton?’

.....

“You expression tells me that you already know who i am.”

Saying this Eleanora exhealed and her magic appearance faded.

Her common blonde hair changed to her real shiny silver hair as her eye colour become jewel blue again.

“Y-You! Why are you here? As a lady you should just stay at home and take the empress lessons!”

“Who are you to tell me what i should do and not?”

Eleanora asked him and The viscount panicked as she was not only a Dalton but also a saintess, who will be the future empress.

“You have no right to interfere in my buisness, no matter who you are!”

“You are right, But does that matter?”

Eleanora said with a cold expression.

“I just hate scumbags like you...”

Everyone was speechless and stunned by her reply.

‘This vulger shameless bitch! Even if she is just a kid, she is too arrogant! we was wrong about making her the empress... We thought she will just be a cold empress who will just sit on the throne.’

But then he suddenly smriked as he started to speak.

“Ha! You are just a kid. How can you understand why i kill them?’

Eleanora kept staring at him with a cold expression and her presence was as cold as Alexander.

But still, viscount managed to pull himself up and continued to talk.

“They are here to pay off their debts! Do you think they can live if i release them?”

“Slaves?”

Eleanora’s cold words echoed into the dungeon as she continued to walk towards the viscount and continued with her sentence.

“No...They are like us... We are all just nothing but human lives.”

Hearing her words, the viscount started to laugh loudly.

“That’s the funniest joke i have ever heard! We are nobles! Gifted magic powers from God and they are just lowly commoners! They are all just trash!”

“Even if i don’t kill them today and release them, where can they go?”

“Let’s do as the little princess wants then, All the slaves are free to go! Go now!”

But hearing his words, the girls started to tremble.

“A..ah...”

“No, Viscount... Please let me live, I will continue to work... Am not sick!”

“Sir, We have nowhere to go, we have a place to stay and some foods to eat here... Don’t kick us out.”

“If it weren’t for her and angering the Viscount, then some of us might have lived... but where can we go now...”

Eleanora just stood there and heard all kind of words from the slave girls. Seeing her standing like that, Dominic was worried for her.

‘Ele...’

“See! They are now blaming you for saving them! Slaves will never be human! This is ingrained in them! They can’t live even if you release them!”

“They are born to serve us! And we are their master! They are only alive because of us! And we are their saviour!”

The viscount said with a proud face and seeing Eleanora being silent, he thought he successfully scared her.

“No, You are wrong.”

Eleanora said in a low but majestic voice.

Everyone looked up at her with a bewildered look.

Where Liana and Dominic was amused to hear her.

“They are the master of their own lives”

‘The master of our own lives?’

The slave girls was stunned to hear her saying this.

Because till now what they heard was, they was born to serve the nobles.

“From the very start, All this time, they have only been taught that, they are born to serve us!”

“We have stripped of their dignity as a human being, deprived them from their education. We forced them to become slaves for our own needs!”

“And you dare to say, we are their saviour? Who are you to say that?”

Eleanora’s majestic loud voice had touched the depth of the girls.

The voice they had been suppressing for so long seem to finally come out.

“Yes... The lady is right... It’s them who made us like this!”

“I would be with my parents, if it wasn’t for them!”

“They killed my sister!”

“It’s all because of you nobles!”

The viscount panicked as he stared at Eleanora and spoke.

“Y-You! are you planning to make them rebel against us? Did you forgot you are a noble like me too?”

Eleanora took a step ahead and replied to him.

“Yes, I am a noble... But am not like you. Everyone is not a scumbag like you!”

Viscount clenched his fist as he spoke again.

“This is how the world is! You can’t change them!”

“Then i will just... Change The System!”

Hearing Eleanora’s reply, the viscount burst out into laughter as he spoke.

“You are just a kid who came here alone, even if i keep you with them and use your holy powers, no one would know, right?”

“Pff- You just reminded me by this that, if i kill you all then no one would ever know!”

Viscount finally lost his calm as he ordered his bodyguards to charge at her.

“You damn arrogant bitch! Guards! Charge at her!”

Dominic could no longer keep himself hidden and came out to help Eleanora out.

“Hah! So you just took a fourteen year old boy as your bodyguard? How naive!”

Dominic and Eleanora was ready to fight the guards when Liana suddenly stand with them with a dagger.

“Don’t look at me like that, If i was only a delicate priestess, how did i managed to survive till now?”

Liana said as both Dominic and Eleanora was staring at her.

They was just knocking them out with only a few injuries, where Eleanora was stopping them with her ice magic.

But as they all were only teenager, specially Eleanora, whose current body didn’t went through any training was gradually becoming weak.

Right then, when a guard was about to charge at Eleanora, he was knocked out by a stone.

Surprise by this, Eleanora looked behind and saw Jennie holding some rocks in her hands.

.....

Although her hands was trembling, she bite her lips to calm down before she shouted at other slave girls.

“How long are we going to live like this?”

“Day after day, Year after year... We had to sacrifice our dignity to live... We had to endure their abuses to live... But are we really living?”

All the slaves girls was stunned by Jennie’s sudden rebellion, but what she said was true.

‘Just how long...?’

‘Is getting a only piece of bread a day, can be considered as daily meal?’

‘Is it really living where the viscount can come and kill you any moment he wants?’

One by one, all the girls got up and picked up rocks from the ground.

Eleanora smiled at them as she continued to knock down the guards with magic.

But unknown to her, someone was staring at her with admiration.

‘She is really strong... Can i be like her in this lifetime?’
