The Clausius empire
Last Updated:
2020-09-05 13:19:49Francis was talking to his knight about the preparation for their return to the palace. Eleanor took advantage of that moment to take her stuff and flee.
But before she could take a step, she feel a strong hand hold her wrist. Without turning back, she knew to whom that hand belonged.
"Can you tell us where you are going like that?"
"For saving me from the wolves..I express my sincere gratitude to his majesty, but do remember that I saved you too in the forest. So please let me go." She said with her back facing Francis.
"You didn't answer my question."
"Sorry but I am not obligated to answer to that, since it doesn't concern you sir Fran...I mean your majesty." She replied while turning her face sideways and looking at him coldly.
He quickly noticed the change in her behavior, strengthened his grip, he put his other hand in her shoulder, so that she will face him properly.
"What is wrong? why the sudden change in attitude..is it because of the people that came suddenly? don't worry though they're my personal guard, they are here to protect you, not the contrary."
She firmly shook her head and said with indifference.
"I simply have no more businesses with you, your majesty, so if you could let go, I need to continue my journey."
At her reply, he looked at her with a serious and cold face, like when he first met her and said with a cold tone, "well, it will be difficult for us to let you leave, since we will have to check your background, to be sure that you are not related to the people trying to kill me. If we let you go, you may go and tell them all the information about me being alive. And if there is a chance that you are in any way connected to my enemies, be sure that I will show no mercy, even if you saved my life."
After he finished his warning, Eleanor was stunned and horrified by what she just hear. And before she could utter any protest, he quickly lifted her in his arms, like a princess and took her to the carriage.
He instructed his knight to enter by the back door of the imperial palace, so that they wouldn't be noticed by anyone in their way back.
The carriage moved and they were on their way to the palace. Eleanor who was still shocked by the rapid flow of event finally regained her consciousness, and said to the shameless man in front of her.
" Hey! are you crazy? who do you think you are? taking an innocent person without their consent."
" An innocent person?! I don't see anyone like that here...I don't know anything about you so to me you are a suspicious woman, who could be working for my enemies."
"How can you say that, I was the one who saved you in the forest when you were poisoned and took you out of there."
"About that, the poison could have been made by you on the order of your superior, because it was weird how you easily found a cure to the poison. Since, I was the target it surely wasn't a normal poison...." he said while narrowing his eyes and pursued "and now that you mention it, how did you know the way out of a forest, rumored to be deadly because it make any person stepping inside lose his way....hein? can you answer to that miracle?"
'Because I could read a spell in the witch's book! if I said that, I will be dead before we reach our destination. I myself don't know why I could understand everything in that book....what should I do!..but for now, I need to find an excuse', she thought for a while about what to do given the situation.
Francis looked at Eleanor with an amused expression, that he tried to cover with his hand. He knew that she wasn't an enemy, but it was also true that everything about her was unknown to him, so he decided to do a background check, to know more about her on the purpose of safety in case she was send by the enemies....well, that was the excuse he thought about to take her with him.
she poundered for some times about an appropriate answer and finally uttered.
"Well,....I~I was just lucky I guess, and about your poison, I learned since my childhood how to treat any kind of sickness or injury...that's why I could heal you."
"Oh really? but there is no one to prove that, is there?" he said while continuing to tease her without her knowing.
"What about you then, what give you the right to take me without my consent...even if you are a king...you can not just take people without proof."
"The reason is simple, I am the emperor of Clausius empire, also the evident fact that you are in my territory gave me the right to do an investigation on you, who look like a suspicous person that could have been send to kill me."
"I told you there's no way I could have tried to kill you...." she said with an exasperated tone but she didn't finish because of the word he said, that took her interest.
"Wait! did you say empire?"
"Yes." He replied with indifference.
"How? since when? I know that there was three kingdom, the Clausius, the Munoa and the Oasius kingdom....but when did it change like that." She said with her eyes wides, and slightly parted lips, showing her surprise.
He looked at her and wondered how she couldn't have been aware of that tremendous change that made history. He replied after concluding that it would be one of the answer, he will have to get after checking on her.
"Yes it was like that five years ago, well this change happened after my coronation, I went to war against the other two kingdom and unified them to make one prosperous empire."
"What?! seeing how you are saying it, it look like it was easy, you did that at the stake of many human life." She retorted with a horrified face.
While remembering every face he killed, and every person he lost. Francis grit his teeth with anger and his face became dark, while controlling his anger, his glare fixed her and he said.
"Do not cross the line woman, you don't know what you are saying...so do not go and speak nonsense."
Eleanor's eyes meet francis's gaze, and they looked at each other for a moment. Then Eleanor turned her face toward the window and enjoyed the view, without saying anything for the rest of the trip.

She didn't want to show him her fear of the thunder, so she took his coat in order to make him believe it was out of coldness that she was trembling.They keep on moving forward even in that rain and Eleanor thought that while they were safe in the carriage, the knights outside must have it hard.

"Francis, you are misunderstanding the situation here. I am the one at fault not Lea,....I went too far with the joke, I just wanted to tease you a little, but did you really need to yell at her like that?!" Shouted Alphonse toward Francis who was finishing his fifth glass of wine."This doesn't concern you, and what I told her was the truth, it had nothing to do with your situation in the garden....I don't care about what happened between you.""Are you kidding me?! we all saw that you released your anger on her, because of what I said. Don't try to fool me, I know you better than anyone." Alphonse said, after loosening the tight tie around his neck."So what?! even if you pushed me to my angry state, it doesn't change the fact that I thought every last words I told her.""But why?

He pondered for a while in front of her door, then after gathering his thought, he knocked on the door."Yes, come in.""Ah...Sorry to have come unexpectedly....."After entering her room, he was stunned and interrupted what he was about to say. Eleanor was standing absent minded in the terrace with her elbows on the balcony ledge, her hair fluttering in the air and eyes closed.'No wonder his majesty said that she fell from the sky, she look like an angel.' He thought, as his eyes didn't leave her figure in the balcony.The one who answered the door was her maid so he told the maid,"Tell the lady that I would like to have a talk with her, it is about the investigation.

"Hein?! what did you just say? you recently discovered that you were a witch? how is that possible?" Lise had a surprised expression while saying that and looked at Eleanor with her eyes wide from curiosity."Ah well, I cannot tell you all my story but the main point is that, I was in the cursed forest when I meet the emperor and found a book that belonged to a witch. There was many spells and all kinds of things inside. But I could understand what was written in the book and when I tried to read aloud a spell, it immediately worked. Thanks to that, we were able to escape the forest safely.""The cursed forest.....So, that's were you found out about you been a witch?! is that it?" Lise looked absent minded while saying those words as if her mind was elsewhere."Yes, why do you ask?"When Eleanor asked that question, Lise snapped out of her thoughts and answered,"Well, that is because of my reason for being her...Also, can you tell me the spell you used to get out of the forest?

My lovely fairy throught the worst
If someone asked if there was a way to escape the imperial palace's heavily guarded jail, then the answer will obviously be negative. Each cell in the basement of the imperial palace was designed to be unbreakable and without a way out. In addition to that, they made sure that it was guarded by a lot of knights night and day when there was a criminal locked up. It wasn't common to see someone locked inside the prison of the imperal palace, because the empire already had a big jail used to imprison all kind of criminals. Only the most evil one or those who attempted to assassinate the imperial family were locked in the imperial jail until the execution day. And of course, without fail, all the people residing in the imperial palace knew that every person that stepped their foots on the imperial jail would undeniably die by the next few days. That's why the palace was noisy from all the workers gossiping about the fact that the young woman named Eleanor, who was treated like a princess
My lovely fairy To open a way out
Escorted by Val and Sebastian, Eleanor didn't feel like a criminal because despite knowing her identity they treated her Kindly, contrary to how they treated the witch locked in the basement. As soon as they left Francis's office, she saw Miel worried sick with a face full of tears.With a faint smile, Eleanor thought that she was truly kind to still worry about her even though she heard the fact that she was a witch.'She must have overheard the conversation but still she is worrying about me and crying for my sake. You are the first human that I thought of as a friend.' She looked at her and took her hand before saying,"Miel, you don't need to worry, I am okay.....everything will be fine. You know, after I came here I always felt out of place and I worried that I wouldn't be able to get used to this place....But thank to you Miel and Elise and Anne, though short I liked my stay here. For that I want to thank you since
My lovely fairy Eleanor's secret
At that moment Eleanor felt a great loss, something inside her broke. It wasn't like she felt all that because of the witch's sad fate but because of the fact that she saw herself in her place. She imagined how they would look at her,....how he would look at her if he knew her identity.The simple thought of seeing him reject her or condemn her, hurt her more than she could fantom. But despite her fear, she believed that something must be done in order to save an innocent life. She looked at him for what seemed like an eternity and thougth,'Do you have to go this far?....must it end up like this? I don't want to make thing hard for you, I get what you must have went through. That's why I wouldn't mind it if you cursed at me for the things I am gonna do. It is okay, I am willing to be the bad guy here...maybe one day you will understand what I meant while doing this.'Thinking that the meeting ended Sebastian and Val were
My lovely fairy Francis's secret
Eleanor couldn't read in Francis's mind, he was indecipherable and his expression didn't show his inner thought. So, she was worried that behind those cold eyes, an inreversible decision may be pronounced and change the course of fate. She prayed deep inside that he would resolve the matter without killing anyone.'Please Francis! don't take that path, it will only end up hurting others and you too...' she tried to forward him those thoughts while looking at him with a sad expression. She couldn't understand his hatred toward witches and wondered why he felt that way toward them.Then suddenly, she saw an image of a young boy who looked like Francis standing at the same place she stood, looking at a man sitting on Francis's office. As she looked at the young boy that was nearly 12 year old, she reconized the familiar golden eyes and dark blue hair. He was looking firmly at the man behind the office desk, standing straigh like a soldier.
My lovely fairy My reality and their assumption
He looked at her sharply as he asked her that question. She didn't react to it because she knew that Francis and his closest friends were all smart enough to figure out the tiniest change in her expression. Hence, with a calm tone she answered,"Back then, my grand mother told me all kinds of stories..." Before she could finish, Valeria burst in laughter and said mockingly,"Pfff!Haha! Are you saying that you were telling us child's stories, right now?!This is ridicilous, you are wasting our times""Well, I don't really care about your time miss, but if you could refrain from interrupting me, that would be helpful." At her reply, Alphonse and Sebastian were having a hard time hidding their laughter, it infuriated Valeria who felt mocked."Whaa?!.." Before she could retort Eleanor continued,"She once got a gift by a wandering traveler, it was a book about the witches. I love reading a lot so my gran
My lovely fairy Fact about good witches and dark witches
Francis turned his gaze toward Eleanor with an indifferent expression and asked her with a cold tone,"And why do you think that my decision is too much?!"She didn't seem fazed on the outside but on the inside, her heart was bitting faster with every breath she took. She was scared of being discovered but she couldn't bear to stay still while a poor innocent girl was going to be executed. So, she decided to talk back even though her heart expressed anxiousness and fear."Because I believe that she doesn't deserve to die just for entering the palace....it is too much of a punishment."He didn't move his golden eyes away from her and replied after looking at her for a moment,"I am not killing her for trespassing, that is just an excuse..." Before he could finish, her face became pale and stunned she said with a voice full of anger,"Then why?! why are you deciding to kil
My lovely fairy Intruder inside the palace
Alphonse took Eleanor to the imperial library since he knew that she loved to read, he guessed that it would help her forget all the bad event that happened. And to his delight she had glithering wide eyes at the sight of the enormous library. She looked around excited like a little girl and occasionally looked back at him like a kid making sure with his parents, that he was allowed to play with a toy.He thought that she was cute and showed her all kind of history books about the three kingdom and those beyong the ocean. They enjoyed their time but once in a while Alphonse was absentminded, felling bitter about the situation that happened at town and also most of all about his brother's attitude toward her.He understood that Francis was getting attached to her and he feared that it would hurt Eleanor at some point, he wanted to avoid that by all mean. The butler interrupted them and fowarded the emperor's order to come for a meet
My lovely fairy A murder for many reason
After taking a bath, Eleanor felt a lot better and less nervious. She wore the dress that Miel choose for her, a beautiful light blue lace dress. She looked stunning on that dress that aristocratic women often deem as too simple for their taste. They loved the extravagant and gorgeous kind of dresses to look more astonishing and imposing. But Eleanor looked pretty and elegant on it, the light blue color of the dress went well with her sky blue eyes. At lunch, in the dining hall, those who came to see her along with Francis earlier were all present aside from Cain who had a lot of work.There was an open sit beside Francis on his right side, she thought that it was too close to him and would rather sit beside sir Val, further from the emperor. But unfortunately, Francis's intense gaze didn't let her have the choice, so she obediently sat on her place. While eating her meal she didn't look toward Francis even once, and he on the other hand occasionaly glanced at her.
