133 “The Owner Of The Cufflinks”

“Haah-”

Eleanora woke up in panic with her widened blue eyes because of the dream she saw last night.

‘What was that about?!’

The empire being destroyed and those monster, specially that red eyed black dragon... Eleanora couldn’t understand a single thing.

“ELE!! ARE YOU OKAY?!”

“D-Daddy?”

Eleanora was quick shocked to find Alexander sitting beside her pillow so early in the morning.

Moreover, what shocked her most was that she was holding his hands tightly.

‘Don’t tell me- he...’

.....

“Where are you uncomfortable? Should i call the doctor?”

Alexander asked in a panic, he was sitting all night while holding her hands tightly and checking her temperature from time to time in case she gets a fever.

His messy hair and dark circles under his eyes was a evident of that.

“Pff-”

“...Ele?”

Alexander was a little surprised to see his daughter chuckling all of a sudden. It can’t be that her brain was damaged because of the rain last night, right?

“Am calling the doctor-”

“Wait, daddy...”

Eleanora tried hard to supress her laughter and stopped Alexander from calling the doctor.

“Daddy... This is the first time am seeing you so messed up...hahahhaa... Which reminded me how me and mommy-”

Eleanora paused on her words as she thought it would make her dad sad if she talked about her mother.

“You remember how you and your mother tied my hair in tiny ponytails and put make up on my face when i was sleeping?”

“!!!”

Alexander spoke with a smile and Eleanora stared at her father for a few seconds before she laughed again.

“Yes... That was hilarious! You looked very handsome with ponytails daddy... My older sister!”

Alexander’s lips also curved up as he remembered that memory.

He found his wife and daughter laughing at him one morning as soon as he woke up.

Then looking at the mirror, he found that the tied up his hair into two ponytails like his daughter.

Who was giggling on her mother’s arm.

His wife even put on some makeups on his face.

“You guys are gonna pay for this!”

Alexander spoke as he chased them and fall on the bed with both of them on his arms.

Then tickling them tell they cried out of laughter.

“S...Sorry!...I was wrong, Lex... Nora just wanted a sister to play so..as you two look alike, i thought of turning you into her older sister...”

Eunicelia spoke as she laughed. Her stomach hurting too because of laughing too much.

Seeing the chance, Eleanora crawled out from her mother’s embrace and ran out of the room.

“…”

“Nora!! You little betrayer!! How can you leave your mother-”

Eunicelia paused on her words as she suddenly felt something was not right and looked at Alexander who stared at her deeply.

“NO!”

“Yes... As my daughter wants a sister, as a father, i should fulfil her wish.”

“...”

Eunicelia was speechless and pushed away Alexander before calling him a ‘Pervert’.

‘Their smile is the same...’

Alexander looked at Eleanora, who was still laughing and remembered Eunicelia who also laughed like her.

“Enough of laughing... Let’s go to eat now.”

“Yes... Daddy.”

In the dining table~

A pair of sparkling blue diamond cufflinks was presented infront of Alexander.

Eleanora looked a little hesitant as she pushed the cufflinks towards Alexander who had no reaction.

“I saw the cufflinks in the shop when i was shopping a few days ago, then i thought it would look good on you... So i bought it for you.”

Alexander, who had no reaction because he already knew the cufflinks she bought was for him still felt happy.

He was wondering why she didn’t gave it to him till now, but seems like she had this thing on her mind.

Eleanora felt a little awkward but she decided to ask him finally about arranging a partner for her as every one ran away as soon as they got her reply.

“And about my partner...I know you are very busy but the day after tomorrow, The birthday banquet-”

“I see.”

“…”

‘What do you see, daddy?’

Alexander intruppted her words with a smile and looked at her gently.

“If you want so, I will go to the banquet with you as your partner.”

“…”

‘WHAT??????????’

Eleanora looked at Alexander with a bewildered expression as this is not she wanted at all.

Going to a banquet with you father, when you are almost an adult?!

This will be embarrassing!

‘Did i heard him wrong?!’

But Alexander’s completely serious face told her that she didn’t heared him wrong.

‘This is not what i want, Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!’

The imperial palace~

‘...’

Brayden stood still as he quitely observed the emperor, who was thinking something for the whole day.

‘What has happened to him?’

“Your Majesty, Is something bothering you?”

Brayden asked in concern as the emperor seems different after he returned.

“Stop being noisy and say whatever you want.”

“...”

‘No... He hasn’t changed. He is still the same rude emperor who only cares about Lady Dalton.’

‘How can he speak like that when someone is showing concern? No wonder Lady Dalton ignores him.’

Brayden felt pissed of on the emperor and decided to take revenge.

“Cough...There is nothing much but Lady Dalton-”

‘...’

‘I was right. He only cares about his fiance.’

.....

Brayden thought because as soon as he mentioned Eleanora, The emperor looked up and become attentive to listen.

“Why did you stopped?!”

“…”

‘Forget it... I shouldn’t make him angry.’

“The lady will attend count Arlo’s daughters birthday, where many nobles will also attend.

The lady is the only stigma of the duke Dalton and also your Majesty’s fiance.

Till now she has only attended the royal banquets, if she shows up there, it will only create the ideal place for the others slander the lady.

Moreover, there are rumors about her breaking off the engagement and dating the young duke of the Raven-”

“SHUT UP... SHE IS ONLY MINE.”

“...”

The emperor spoke as he glared at Brayden which made him speechless.

‘When did i said she is not yours?!’

‘Why are you doing this to me, Your Majesty?!’
