His Destined Empress

Ch-36 (WHY ME!? )

He punched the ground in excitement, making everyone shake in their spot. Aarav’s eyes widened.

“s**t, I forgot about my strength.”; He mumbled as he took a step back. He looked as the c***k started traveling in both waves before a huge tremble came from the ground. Aahana slapped her forehead before shaking her head in annoyance.

Aarav gulped and took a step back.

“STAY BACK!!”; Aarav shouted at Augustus, who was on horse. He looked at Aarav looking down, seeing the c***k getting bigger, he pulled back before dismounting. He looked at the ground as the c***k kept on stretching. A huge tremble shook the ground again before the whole ground broke.

“PULL BACK”; Augustus shouted as everyone came to the other side. Aahana sighed and made her orc’s army pull to the orc side. The ground kept on breaking. It broke so much that it became a vast valley. Augustus’ eyes widened as he looked at Aarav. He saw Aarav punching the ground, and well, he did not expect this.

Aahana shook her head in disappointment. Anderson’s and Samuel’s eyes widened in shock. They did not expect this from Aarav. Aarav sheepishly smiled looking back at Aahana, who was raising her eyebrows in question.

They sure did not think about hiding their powers, but they sure did not think of showing off. Aahana’s abilities cannot be traced back to her, but Aarav’s strength is seen by everyone of them. If Royals are like what the Archduke has portrayed them to be, then they might have to eliminate them all. Orcs charged again, making everyone take stance. Aahana waved her hand as her orcs soldiers started killing the others orcs, while orcs passing them fell in the valley.

Everyone was confused, but still on the guard.

“Ah”; Aahana clenched her head. She sat down on her knees, holding her head.

“Aahana”; Anderson went down at her level and held her worryingly. Samuel held her from other side. Aarav looked back and saw Aahana clenching her head in pain.

“AAHANA!!”; Aarav shouted in panic; making Augustus look back at her. Aarav came close to her and saw her body trembling.

“Get away from her, give her space to breathe.”; Aarav said in a stern voice. Anderson and Samuel wanted to protest, but took a step back. Aarav took her one hand and felt her pulse. His eyes widened; her pulse was way higher than normal rate. She was sweating profusely, while her face was becoming redder and redder.

“WHAT ARE THEY DOING!!?”; One soldier shouted. Aarav looked back and saw the orcs controlled by Aahana cutting themselves slowly and painfully. They were inflicting as much pain on themselves as they can. He frowned as he saw everyone of the orc stop running and starting ripping off their body parts themselves. They had a sickly sweet smile at them face as they would rip their legs and one hand off and throw it to their side and they would rip their own head off which would be thrown to their side by the other orc, who would then do the same.

……………………………………

‘Whom are you saving, my child?’

Aahana heard a voice and looked up. Her eyes widened when she saw nothing but blackness.

“Aarav”; She called out for her brother.

‘He is not here, child. You are not on the battlefield.’

“Who are you?”; Aahana questioned. She did not feel threatened, but she was still on guard.

‘I am someone, who wants to help you.’

Aahana narrowed her eyes. She stayed put in one place because she did not know if she would fall if she takes a step further.

“Help me? With what?”; Aahana asked.

‘You shouldn’t save the people you are saving, my child. They do not deserve your protection or kindness.’

Aahana frowned; does this person have a grudge against Archduke family?

‘No, I don’t have a grudge against anyone. Humans do not matter to me, my child.’

HE CAN READ MY MIND!!

‘You are in my domain, my child. I can hear, see, read and control anything, everything and everyone in here.’

“If you do not have a grudge against Griffith family then why are you stopping me from helping them?”; Aahana questioned. She heard a deep, husky chuckle. The person is definitely a man.

‘Because I am trying to protect you, my child’

Aahana frowned. How!?

‘You don’t owe them anything, my child. You might owe something to Eleanor, but not to those three men. They don’t deserve your kindness or your help. Goddess tried to help you, but failed. I saw you suffering so much, that even I could not look away. I had to take matters in my hand.’

Aahana frowned. What the hell is he talking about? She is not from this world. Is he talking about future suffering?

‘I am talking about suffering, my child. Suffering of all time.’

Aahana was puzzled she understands nothing. She does not know what is he talking about.

“What are you talking about?”; Aahana asked.

‘You must have dreamt, my child.’

Aahana’s eyes widened, remembering her nightmare.

‘That was a warning, your soul is giving to you. I cannot directly help you until you reach out to me. I will wait, my child. Till then I hope you don’t get in harm’s way.’

Aahana closed her eyes as suddenly a beam of light came her way. She opened her eyes slowly, adjusting her eyes to the light. Her eyes widened when she saw herself. She did not have a lighter tone of skin. She was crying near a grave, crying for her mom, wearing a dress. Aahana walked closer to the figure as she looked at the grave.

Eleanor Ada Griffith

Loving wife and mother.

Aahana’s eyes widened; she was about to walk closer to the grave.

“OYE!!!”; She heard a shout of disgust. She was turned around and saw two small shadowy figures.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!? YOU DON’T DESERVE TO BE HERE!! YOU KILLED HER!! KEEP YOU FLITHY HANDS AWAY FROM OUR MOTHER!!”

Definitely a boy shouted. She looked at the girl who looked exactly like her younger self, flinch in fear. She was about to get up when one figure hit her with a stone. The stone hit her head hard.

“AAHH!!” she shouted in pain. She covered the wound with her hands before looking at it. Her head was bleeding, making her quiver, yet she did not cry again.

“YOU SHOULD JUST DIE!!!”; Another one shouted.

“Why?”

Aahana frowned as she looked at the girl, who just spoke up. To her surprise, she was looking at her dead in the eye.

“Why!? WHY!? WHY!? WHY!? WHY ME!!!!!!?”; The girl cried as her wound started bleeding profusely, making Aahana panic. She was wanted to walk to her, but she was stuck in her place.

She saw the young girl bleed to her death while the two figures were laughing throughout the process. Cheering as the light slowly left the little girl’s eyes.

All Aahana could do was to look at her slowly dying.
