The King's Beloved Empress
S2 Episode 41's

"Ahhhh! You've woken up, Your Majesty? You surprised me!"Lydora shouted in surprise.

John narrowed his eyes still half conscious but he remembered that he was married to Lydora and they slept in one bed.

"Why are you shouting so early? Just disturb my sleep!"

"Your majesty, it's not that.ta-but your hands and feet hit me..."Lydora was ashamed.

"What?"John then opened his eyes slightly and saw the hands and feet that had indeed befallen Lydora's body.

Instantly he rounded his eyes and immediately raised his hands and feet from Lydora's body.

"I'm sorry.I wasn't conscious."Yohannes felt very happy.

"It's okay, your majesty..."Lydora then got out of bed.

"Where are you going? It's still half 5 at dawn."Ask Yohannes.

"I want to go to the noble bathroom."Answer Lydora.

"Oh..."Yohannes immediately confirmed his position and he faced his back to Lydora like the position last night. He closed his eyes again as he was still sleepy.

While Lydora had already walked into the bathroom.

John who heard the sound of water in the bathroom came to mind by the actions he had just done. He was ashamed to remember it.

What the hell am I doing? I usually never sleep so hard. Know-know when I wake up my hands and feet have moved.haah, shame!

As he kept thinking, Yohannes could not sleep. His drowsiness disappeared and he chose to wake up.

Shit, I'm not sleepy anymore! This time I was able to sleep well...

John became upset himself. Not long after Lydora came out of the bathroom.

"Lho, you don't sleep anymore, your majesty? We still have 2 hours to sleep. I'll wake you later."Lydora.

"I'm not sleepy anymore. I'm gonna take a shower."Yohannes stood up and walked to the bathroom.

"Oh well..."Lydora was just a mangosteen and she was sitting on the sofa.

"You're not sleeping anymore?"Ask Yohannes.

"Ah, not your honor. I don't feel sleepy anymore either."Answer Lydora. Actually, he still felt sleepy because the dream he had just made him unable to sleep well. But she thought it would be inappropriate if her husband had woken up while she was still sleeping.

"If you still want to sleep again it's okay. I'll wake you up."Yohannes.

Uh, what's wrong with him? Tumben he's good to me?

"It's okay, your majesty. I'll wait here until you finish taking a shower."Lydora.

"Haah, it's up to you."John went into the bathroom to clean himself up.

While Lydora, she waited faithfully on the sofa. There was water coming from the bathroom in Lydora's ear. Unconsciously Lydora continued to yawn and her eyes watering as it held back the drowsiness. Over time his eyes became faint and Lydora could not bear his heavy sleepiness. In the end the woman fell asleep on the sofa in a sitting position.

A few minutes later, Yohannes had finished the bath and the man came out of the bathroom. He turned to his wife who was sitting on the sofa and looked at Lydora who was sleeping in a sitting position.

"Well, this woman can't lie. Look, I've only been in the shower a few minutes since she's asleep."John approached his wife. He looked at the sleeping Lydora. Yohannes was upset and folded his hands looking seriously at Lydora.

Feeling unbearable for his wife to sleep on the sofa, he took the initiative to hold the woman and move her to the bed.

Lydora who was carried, furrowing her brows felt something dripping down her face. He opened his eyes slowly and felt surprised when he saw her who was being carried by Yohannes like a princess.

"Your highness?!"Lydora Shouts.

"I'm sorry, your majesty! I didn't realize I was asleep! T-down my noble one..."Lydora panicked.

Yohannes complied with Lydora's request and immediately put her down.

"Hey, if you're still sleepy, you better get some more sleep. There is still time too. After this we've got a lot of work, remember that."Yohannes was annoyed as he folded his hands.

"Sorry, your majesty, I feel that if I sleep again it is inappropriate, because you are awake. When I sleep again..? What would the Queen's mother think of me later if she found out?"Lydora felt bad.

"You worried about that? Hey, I love you more now. And he won't take it at all."Yohannes.

"Stay still...!"

"Have, instead of later getting sleepy in meetings, you better sleep now! There quick!"Yohannes.

"Ba-good, your majesty, thank you."Lydora.

"You don't have to thank me."Yohannes. He walked to the closet to change clothes.

Lydora got into bed and went back to sleep. He closed his eyes and turned slightly towards Yohannes who was about to change clothes.

Yohannes realized Lydora was glancing at him.

"What do you see? You want to peek?"Ask Yohannes.

"No!"Shouted Lydora quickly.

"If not, don't look this way! I want to change clothes! You sleep there!"Yohannes Shouts.

"Yes, sorry your highness...!"Lydora tried to close her eyes and she immediately remembered the moment when Yohannes held her. He noticed a glimpse of Yohannes' wet hair. The shower dress that Yohannes wore opened slightly showing her wide shoulders.

Argha! Stop thinking of nasty things! Let's sleep!

Yohannes peeked at his wife who had closed her eyes. He made sure to be afraid if the woman peeked at him who was changing clothes.

Is he asleep?

While Lydora was closing her eyes, Yohannes quickly changed her clothes to her daily formal attire.

Haa...why do I have to be like this? I know she's already my wife. We even did it. But still I'm not ready...

After Yohannes had dressed up, he walked over to Lydora. He looked at Lydora who was already sleeping soundly. He continued to stare at Lydora's peaceful sleeping face.

He seems to be exhausted. His eye bags were blackened like that. I did the right thing to tell him to go back to sleep. I better stay here and do the rest of my work. I'll wake her up when it's time.

Yohannes began to do his thing. He sat down in his chair and collected the papers scattered on the table. Not to forget that Yohannes wore his glasses which he kept in the box. He held a pen and began to write something on the papers.

Moments later, Yohannes was about to finish his job and he saw his pocket watch. There was still half an hour left and John glanced at the sleeping Lydora.

But strangely the woman looks restless.his eyebrows bend like he is having a nightmare. John chose to stop his work and approached his wife.

"Gosh, what's wrong with him? There is a lot of sweat. His breathing was also irregular..."

Yohannes then touched Lydora's forehead.

The body is not hot...

"Lydora's? Hey Lydora! Wake up!"Call Yohannes while shaking Lydora's body slowly.

What the hell happened to him?

Next....
