72 Chapter 72 ~ “Vision”

Cathain slowly opened his eyes and found himself in another vision. As always, he is a spectator again.

‘The surrounding looks familiar...’

Soon, he recognised this place. It was the emperor’s room where his father stays now and he will stay in the future.

It’s design is updated and changed a little, so it took him some time to recognise this place.

Then, the sleeping twenty two year old Cathain came to his view. Beside him, a maid was cleaning the room.

The maid looked rather familiar to him but he can’t remember who is she.

The maid looked around cautiously before she sat beside him and stroked his hair.

Cathain was furious. How dare a mere maid touch him and why the older him isn’t responding either.

But then he noticed something was wrong. The maid wasn’t just simply stroking his hair, she seem to put some magic spell on him.

.....

Cathain moved a little closer to examine the maids face when he heard a little noise and turned his face around.

‘Ele?!’

Eleanora was standing at the door as she watched the older Cathain and maid being intimate.

Without waiting for a moment, she turned around and left.

Even if it was just a vision of the older him, Cathain felt his heart stop it’s beating.

‘No-She has misunderstood the situation...’

At the same moment, the older Cathain had woken up too as soon as he felt Eleanora’s presence.

The maid who was sitting beside him was no where to seen either that Cathain was dumbstruck.

‘She was right here- Where she is?’

But it wasn’t the time to think this, Along with the older Cathain, he rushed to Eleanora.

Cathain was a little surprised when he finally saw Eleanora up to close, who had a huge belly.

‘S-She is pregnant?’

“Empress! Walk slowly!”

The older Cathain chased after her and caught her upper arm to stop her.

Eleanora had tears filled up her beautiful blue eyes as she turned around to face the older Cathain.

“Please forgive me for disturbing your peaceful time, Your Majesty.”

“Do you need anything? Why are you here at this time?”

The older Cathain asked in an annoying tone as he couldn’t understand what Eleanora meant.

But the younger Cathain understood as he saw the scene earlier. To Eleanora, the older Cathain was with the maid where to older Cathain, he was resting alone.

“No... it’s nothing. I will take my leave.”

“Empress, Don’t be childish...”

“Yeah... Am the childish, unreasonable one!”

Eleanora said with a expressionless tone and she was trying her best to control her emotions.

“Why are you reacting like this, Empress?!”

The younger Cathain could feel something was wrong with both of them. Their magic aura wasn’t stable and... both of them was aggressive.

He couldn’t understand the reason for both of them being so weird, they was getting annoyed and arguing over such a silly matter.

Specially the older Cathain, there was something terribly wrong with his behaviour.

“There is no one with me and i was resting alone, Why are you making up things just to piss me off?”

“Yeah, I always make things up. Do you think i don’t know about anything?”

“I don’t know about what you are talking about. I think it’s better you go back and rest!”

“So that you can continue to rest with that maid?”

“Empress! How dare you talk with me like this?!”

“I dared! What will you do with me? Put me in jail?”

“Empress... I order you to go back to your palace!”

“Go back to that abandoned palace? You don’t let me stay with you so that you can continue to cheat on me, right?”

“Watch your language, Empress!”

As the younger Cathain continued to watch them arguing, he reached a conclusion...

‘There is someone who is trying to cut a sword with another.

When both of them are fighting with each other, the third party will be benefited.

But, how is it beneficial to someone by making a couple fight with each other?’

Then a sudden realisation hit Cathain.

‘Wait... She is pregnant! So, rather then using other methods which can be discovered... it’s useful if they use the emperor, who won’t be investigated!’

Cathain was rather terrified by the master mind’s plan. Just how can someone be so cruel to make a father kill his children with his own hand?

As the younger Cathain was lost in thoughts, he noticed a shadow behind the piller, who was watching as the older Cathain and Eleanora was arguing.

The whole scene was full of loopholes. This is the emperor palace, so why is there no knights or maid at this time?

Seems like someone deliberately staged this place for something.

The younger Cathain was about to see the face of the person behind the piller when he heard a yell.

“Aaah!!”

“Empress?!”

Cathain’s eyes widened in shock and he reacted earlier then the older Cathain to grab the falling Eleanora.

But, he forgot that he was only a spectator. No one can see him and he can’t change anything here either.

What is supposed to happen will happen for sure.

Cathain couldn’t grab Eleanora and he could only watch as she rolled down from the stairs.

She laid in pool of her own bloods with a terrified expression on her face.

The older Cathain was still too shocked to react as his whole body started to tremble.

“E-Empress...”

‘Eleee!’

The younger Cathain had tears in his eyes as he reached the laying Eleanora. He tried his best to touch her, comfort her but he couldn’t.

The older Cathain rushed to her and called for maids but no one answered.

“Empress... H-How... I didn’t meant to...

Hold-Hold on! Empress! Am calling for help right now!”

He carried the Eleanora, who was crying in pain to his room. Her hands was protectively wrapped around her belly.

Eleanora grabbed his shirt and was scratching his neck with her nails very sharply because of the pain.

She was whimpering and The older Cathain gritted his teeth in helplessness.

Earlier before he went to rest, He dismissed all the maids and knights for no reason.

He doesn’t even know why he did that and why Eleanora came to him right at this moment.

Her scratching was so sharp that his neck was full of faint bloods but he didn’t cared about that.

All he had on his mind was how to help her and then finally some maid came.

The maid that disappeared before was among of those helping maids too. The younger Cathain knew this maid was up to no good as she went in to help Eleanora.

But there was no choice except watching that maid go in. As a spectator, he can’t do anything here.

The older Cathain stood outside of the door with a solemn face.

The younger Cathain gritted his teeth and grabbed the older Cathain by his coller as he yelled at him.

.....

“Why? Why are you so cruel to her? Why can’t you see their scheme?”

The younger Cathain kept yelling at the older version of him, who didn’t reacted to any of his words.

Or because he couldn’t react as he didn’t heard any of his words. Cathain only stopped when he saw the maid came out with a sorry face.

“Your Majesty, Am sorry for your lose. The empress had miscarriage.”

Both Cathain’s eyes widened in shock. The younger Cathain fall on his knees where the older one kept standing.

The older Cathain sighed a heavy breathe as he stepped into the room.

“Empress...”

His voice was sad and heavy, he didn’t knew how to comfort her or say to her.

Eleanora’s eyes was lifeless and she didn’t even looked at Cathain as she spoke.

“There is something wrong... My child wasn’t dead until that maid feed me some medicines. She killed my child.”

“Empress, I know it’s hard for you to accept this...”

“No, Your Majesty!! She killed my child!”

“I think it’s better if you rest first. I will see you later.”

Seeing the older Cathain turn back and leave the room, Eleanora stopped yelling and laughed.

“So, you rather trust a maid then my words?”

The younger Cathain couldn’t see this anymore. His heart was heavy and he felt like he couldn’t breathe anymore.

‘Ele... Am sorry... Am sorry... I couldn’t help you...’

He left the room along with the older Cathain. The younger Cathain couldn’t stop his tears. This must be the memories that Eleanora remembers and he forgot.

This is why she hates him so much.

There is no way he can make it up for her, no apology and compensation can bring back their dead child.

Tears kept falling from his eyes and then he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

Cathain was shocked. Because, in his visions no one can see him and he can’t be touched.

Then how could the older Cathain touch him?

The younger Cathain looked up and meet the sad red eyes of the older Cathain.

Same sad red eyes that he once saw in his mirror along with the dark shadow.

“I couldn’t see their scheme, this is why am letting you see this. Don’t repeat my mistakes, Be good to her and cherish her...

...Which i failed to do.”
