The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 10 (In revision)

"Oh really? Then give the paper to me. I'll take care of it."Carol softly said.

Erick gave his letter with trembling hands. It was seen from his innards that he was groggy when dealing with the girl. Ellen glared bitterly because of her brother's stupid behavior.

Carol looked towards someone she had just seen, but she recognized who the girl was. "Hello Miss, you must be Miss Ellenavier, Mr. Erick's sister right?"Ask Carol to Ellen.

"Yes right. I'm Erick's brother. Nice to meet you Miss Carol."Hello Ellen while lifting her skirt.

"It's nice to meet you too Miss. It turns out you're much prettier when you look at it directly."Praise Carol for seeing Ellen's beauty.

"Thank you Miss. You're beautiful too."Praise Ellen back.

"Well, since we've all met each other, how about we go to the park for tea? We haven't spent a long time together like this."Take Yohannes.

"Well, maybe too. I'd like to see your garden Prince."Ellen's eyes sparkled as she loved the colorful flowers.

Although my nature is tomboyish, but that does not mean I do not like flowers.

"Then come with me."Take John to lead his guests to sit in his favorite garden and they all obey.

After enjoying a few cups of tea and snacks, they decided to surround the beautiful garden.

"Miss Ellen, let me take you around this park. I guarantee you'll like it."Take Yohannes to a slightly surprised Ellen.

Erick immediately glanced sharply at Ellen as they had promised their mother not to be so familiar with John.

"My-me..."Ellen was so hesitant to accept Yohannes's hopeful invitation.

"It's okay Miss. I also plan to take Mr. Erick around the park. There's something we want to talk about anyway."Follow Carol who makes Erick surprised and misbehaved.

Ellen clenched her hands so irritated. Erick seemed to have forgotten his promise because he was blind in love.

He must have been intentional! I really want to grab that gray hair!

Ellen looked towards Erick. Erick instead turned his gaze down not daring to look at his sister. Seen from her face she was so pleased with Carol's invitation.

"Then how about we walk together? After all, my brother and I should return as soon as possible."Ellen.

The three of them looked at each other doubtfully at Ellen's opinion. Instantly everything was silent and Yohannes quickly agreed to Ellen's request.

"Alright Miss. We just walk together."Yohannes said, and everyone would disagree.

On the way home in a horse-drawn carriage, Erick was in a bad mood but he couldn't blame Ellen either. She was hoping to date Carol.

"Why is my sister looking at me like that? Can't accept not being able to date Carol?"Ellen asked looking at Erick who was glaring at her.

"Shut up!"

"Sister, why do you like him anyway? I don't see anything interesting about him. I don't understand why you have to be stupid when you're with him!"

"Be stupid?! Don't exaggerate. Don't you see she's so pretty and so classy? It's not just me who likes her to know, but there's a lot!"

"Ah time anyway? I think I'm looking forward to your sister again. Many people praised my beauty."Ellen did not want to lose.

"Heh. Your nature does not look mature at all and is very barbaric. I don't think there's a guy who likes a barbarian like you."Erick Ledek.

"Barbarbara said?! Hey this is called a real woman, as long as you know! No woman would dare to study the sword as desperately as me."

"Sister."Call Ellen to Erick who's closing his eyes.

"Sister!"Call Ellen again with a shout.

"What the hell else?!"It seems Erick's patience has run out because of Ellen's behavior.

"What do you think of Maya?"Ellen and Erick immediately gawked at her sister's strange question.

"What else now? Why the sudden talk about the waiter?"

"Ish brother don't talk like a condescension so dong! I was just asking what sister thinks of Maya. I feel she is a gentle, sincere and very jolly woman. He is also multitalented."

"Hmm, well he is indeed reliable. But he was a servant. So..."Erick seems to be responding to Maya.

"But sister, I think she's sweet too. His behavior is also funny and amuses me."Cut Ellen.

Erick paused for a moment to digest the meaning of his sister's words. "What is your purpose in asking me this? Are you gonna betroth me to him because you don't agree with Carol?"

"Well, it turns out that my sister is sensitive as well. I thought you were stupid all along."

"Don't let my patience run out."

"But it's true. Especially Maya currently likes her sister. She fell in love with her sister at first sight. He's loved you since I was 6."

Erick was so shocked by Ellen's words. For some reason this time her heart felt the same thump as when she thought of Carol.

"You're right! So Maya really likes me?"Erick still can't believe it. She thought Maya was a sick woman.

"Yes, did you ever think of him? I'd love you guys to be together instead of brother with that gray man."Ellen.

"Don't insult him like that! I never thought about Maya. She is a good girl and is the same age as me. But I don't know how I feel about her."Erick.

"Then try brother start to invite him to chat. Find time to walk with him. I'm sure you're interested in him, too."Ellen convinced me.

Erick did not answer Ellen's words. He's feeling confused. All she knows is that she is in love with Carol. Yohannes's cousins are depicted as graceful and very mature. But Maya is also a multitalented girl who is always cheerful and sweet.

After arriving at the castle, fortunately the two brothers did not get scorned. But the mother looked happy and it made the two sisters look at each other in horror.

"Allen! Two more days is your birthday! And we'll celebrate!"Mrs Ziane girang.

JDERR

Ah no! Why two more days? I don't want to grow up fast!

"Oh yeah, you'll be having a birthday soon. Looks like you'll be busy because soon you'll also be engaged to the King."It was Erick who made Ellen even more frustrated.

"It's right Erick. You also think about your soul mate from now on. You should get married in

this age. I'd agree you'd marry anyone as long as she's a good, educated woman."Said the Mother.

"Eh.iya ma'am."Erick replied with a feeling of anger.

"You two hope to start changing for the better. I'll prepare everything from now on for Ellen's birthday."Said Mrs Ziane then passed away leaving her two children who were still confused with their respective minds.

Seriate.
