The whole world looked black and white to Eleanora.
Although the surroundings were very loud with some people celebrating the succession of the new emperor, where the rest was mourning the emperor's death silently like Duke Dalton.
Eleanora seem to heard nothing. She felt as if she was falling into the endless abyss and standing in a remote place.
As she remembered the time before returning to the past again, how she and the emperor spent their time together in the garden when her father was at the borders.
The emperor had always supported and loved her whole heartly, either it was the past or present.
He might be annoying some times but he has loved her equally at the same time, to the point his own son become jealous of her.
The emperor couldn't show his love to Cathain completely, so to endure his loneliness, he used to shower Eleanora with that love.
