The Heart of the Cruel Emperor
20. Empress diana

the small hand continued to pull Hani through the halls of the palace so large, the servants went back and forth saluting the prince Gabriel, but the little boy ignored him.

The small step was increasingly hunting when it found the big door in front of him. And Hani can only balance his steps well.

Brakes

prince Gabriel barged in regardless of the guards who were guarding the salute and wanted to open the door.he had opened it first without the help of the guards.

the prince was so focused on his goal.

"mother"

"oh gosh, can the prince open the door slowly" Empress Diana was surprised to find Prince Gabriel breaking down the door hard. Making his sleeping Little Princess squirm was uncomfortable.

"Sorry, Gabe's overzealous mother"

"who is this lady, Gabe?" Empress Diana was intrigued by Hani, whom Prince Gabriel had brought.

"At mother's request, this brother is my Queen's Candidate" Prince Gabriel smiled charmingly while Hani was a little aghast from where he stood . It was like he did not hear the narration of a boy but an adult man who introduced his companion to the mother.

pufff Ha~ ha~ ha~ha

Empress Diana's laughter broke . covered her mouth with her hands . she was afraid that her little daughter would be distracted by her echoing laughter. Al results, he held it until tears came out of the end of his vision.

Hani is so nervous, he doesn't think prince Gabriel will take her to Empress Diana's residence.

" it was enough "the queen rubbed the corner of her watery eyes as a result of holding back laughter.

"wait here for a moment" the queen Diana passed from the two. she approached the door and ordered something to the guards outside before closing the door and approaching Hani.

" Come with me" Empress Diana pulled her hand.

What the hell is this really? why didn't his son or mother bring me here? it makes me feel was

From a different angle without Hani knowing that Empress Diana smiled cheerfully like getting a treasure. Prince Gabriel followed his mother and Hani from behind.

The small figure was very happy since then . he did not want to miss what his mother would do to Hani.

*************

Hani was initially wary when Empress Diana invited him into the tamaram hall behind the wall of the room they occupied some time ago.

however, when Hani had passed the end of the hall, he was so amazed when he found millions or more books neatly arranged towering up to the ends of the sky of the room.

is this a library? how does someone clean it up there?

" There is a special ladder for the waiter who cleans. If you're curious" Like knowing Hani's thoughts. Empress Diana answered calmly. And Hani again surprised the sense of it.

"This, this is so amazing, your majesty.This waiter has only seen it for a lifetime"

"really?"

" Yes, this library is bigger than a public library in the Tin Kingdom"

"this is the palace's private library. Even this was not comparable to the Tan kingdom's public library. Alright we arrived. Since then I still do not know your name and where are you from? " queen Diana is now sitting on one of the chairs in the room while Hani remains standing.

" I'm sorry, my noble servant forgot to introduce himself. Hani was from the village of Nile. The servant was the servant of Emperor Ryu in charge of tasting the dishes that emperor Ryu ate". Hani bowed respectfully introducing herself.

'Cihh'

Like choking on her own saliva the Empress smiled cynically hearing him.

" Oh He underestimated the Tan Kingdom as it turned out. So until he brought his own food shield.Ishh Your mask uncle seemed to have to get a gift Gabe. How's Gabe?" the empress gave a grinning look to Gabriel making Hani shudder in horror.

"it should be mother" Gabriel smiled cheerfully in support.

is it really crazy, have I been misplaced? why is everything filled with strange people.even this is worse than the granddaughter of the village elder.

" N-no, your highness. The servant does not have the power to sit parallel to the noble one "

"God, do you have to have new powers to sit with me?" The Empress was not a person who had more patience.she directly dragged Hani to sit down immediately.

"well, this is better if I talk to you" the empress still holds Hani's hand, while Hani immediately pulls her hand back. Hani felt unsettled from the beginning of meeting the Empress Diana .although Diana's consort looked so good however, there was something Hani felt she had to look out for.

"May I ask you something? Where'd you get those blue eyes, whether from your father or mother?"

"Hamba didn't know the real noble one, but my mother once said that my late father had blue eyes"

"really? You know, only certain people have eyes like you. I've met a general with eyes like yours".

"a je-general?"Hani was curious about the general figure spoken of by Empress Diana.

"yes, but, you look more special than her. Oh my god, I would love to have brown skin like you" Empress Diana was so incredibly excited that the tea she wanted to drink spilled into Hani's hands.

awww

Hani grimaced in pain as the spilled tea was still puffing smoke.he immediately rubbed his heated hands.

"oh god, I'm sorry. Gabe picked up the cup that his mother had prepared earlier on the table" the figure of Gabriel who had only been silent since reading one of the library books now sped up quickly to bring something that Empress Diana wanted.

Empress Diana washed her hands so gently with the water brought by Gabriel.she was so careful that something happened unexpectedly. Hani who realized that immediately pulled his hand.

"Ha-servant can do his own noble" Hani fears empress Diana has seen his disguise.

"I know, there's never been a race of niggers who have entered this region, and that's very unlikely, most of them died as a result of sailing the seas for so long to reach this region. And when I saw you it was amazing. I can finally see the race coming back" there was a sad tone in the words of Empress Diana.

"but, it's all pseudo. You're lying. Why are you disguising yourself? say"The Empress Diana looked at Hani intently asking for an explanation.

Deg

"what do you mean, your majesty?" Hani suppresses his fears, he does not want his disguise to be uncovered so early.

why did this happen? I still haven't found it. Please, not now.

hani hopes that Diana's consort mispronounced something.

"no, I didn't say anything wrong. From the beginning I knew you. And explain why you're doing all this?"

The end of Hani's history is not something he expected so early.

"talk honestly maybe I can forgive you. I promise".

"Yes-his majesty" better Hani says it all. he does not want the purpose he neatly arranged from the beginning to be unraveled in vain.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Hani tells her whole story without exception.at first she wants to cover something that she should not say as well as her family.however, when the empress Diana utters

"I can read someone's mind"

her whole life Hani told me how not, Empress Diana could know anything from someone without even hurting. And when the empress Diana asked for an explanation from Hani's own mouth, it meant that the empress Diana asked for full trust in Hani.

Sometimes there is a sense of surprise in the eyes of the queen Diana heard the story of Hani.

"isn't it ridiculous to be a man all your life? "

" however, my life is free of the activities of a very restrictive girl"Hani smiled telling her.

"You are very brave, so I will give you a gift". Empress Diana smiled knot making Hani feel suspicious .

"Gabe please get me a box of toiletries in the Mother's room" Hani squeezed her hanbok in fear.

what would consort diana do to him?
