The King's Beloved Empress
S2 Episode 46's

The two women discussed their duties in the workspace of Yohannes which is now Lydora's workspace as well. Felice explained a lot about the job Lydora was currently handling for almost two hours. Some came in and some were not in Lydora's mind when Felice explained some political issues.

"Felice, can we take a break? My head feels like it's hot..."Lydora Pinta.

"Why Your Majesty? Are you not feeling well?"Felice asked worriedly.

"No, I'm just exhausted. Oh yes, it is time to visit his Majesty the King!"Lydora said as she looked at the antique cabinet clock located in her room.

"You're going to see his Majesty the King, Your Majesty?"Ask Felice.

"Yes, I'll come with my husband, then we'll finish our job. After dinner, we'll go on, okay, Felice?"Lydora said straight off the sofa.

"All right, your highness."Felice said only according to resignation.

Lydora looks excited but on the other hand she is also worried about the condition of King Peter who reportedly deteriorated his health. And just as Lydora opened the door, she saw Yohannes standing at the door of the study knocking on the door.

"Oh, your honor?"Lydora asked in shock.

"What a coincidence. Let's go see dad. I know your work is largely unfinished, but while you're still awake, we'll just go there now to see how things are."Yohannes said to Lydora.

Lydora slightly raised her smile as if imagining Yohannes picking her up to see dad together showed if they were really a married couple.

"Yes, come on, your highness. About work, can I do it again later tonight."Lydora was excited.

"Um, okay."

Along the way walking the two together, Lydora felt a different atmosphere. Usually when women and men go hand in hand, there will be a sweet feeling of debate, but this time there is even a nervous and afraid debate because both of them think about the health condition of the King. The atmosphere was so tense and uncomfortable. Lydora looked back and forth at her husband, whose face was slightly pale. And he knew the direction of the King's room was quite far from their study.

"Um, your majesty are you okay?"Lydora asked worriedly.

"Hm? I'm doing fine. I'm worried about dad's health."Yohannes.

"I understand your noble feelings. I'm sure everything's gonna be okay."Lydora tried to calm John. But Yohannes remained silent with his chaotic feelings.

After they reached the King's room, a bodyguard opened the door for the couple to enter. Both of them could immediately see King Peter lying on his bed as usual. Not to forget Queen Edna who was always beside King Peter looked at King Peter's face with a blank look.

"Mother..."Call Yohannes.

"Welcome my children. You want to see your father's condition, right?"Asked Queen Edna still took the time to smile in front of her children.

"Yes, how's dad doing?"Ask Yohannes.

"Doctors have not been able to say his condition clearly. He said we should always pray to God. But the sad news is, the tumor your father suffered has spread throughout his body, so his life is likely already..."Queen Edna decided her words.

"Mother, we pray our best for His Majesty the King and always believe in God."Lydora.

"Yes, I know Lydora. I just don't want anything to happen to my husband. And you'd better call him dad, because he's already your father-in-law, like your own real father, Lydora."Said Queen Edna.

"Ah, good Mother. Im sorry. A-dad will definitely be fine, because he is someone strong."Lydora's words give spirit.

"It's okay mom.we just want to see the condition of the father.I also really hope you can recover quickly."Lydora said with a look of pity looking at her father-in-law who closed her eyes.

When Lydora said that, Queen Edna and John were silent. They think healing is no longer possible for King Peter.

"Oh yes by the way Lydora, did Yohannes give you a task? I heard you guys had a meeting this morning with the ministers."Queen Edna asked to change the topic.

"Um, yeah. I was given the task of handling the work of Mr. Jason who served in the Northern Territory, mother"Jawab Lydora.

"What's? Johannes! How could you give such a hard job to your wife who is just becoming a Queen?! You should have given him a light job first!"Queen Edna did not accept it.

"That's okay Mom! I'm very glad that your Majesty gave me this job, because I feel I've been recognized as a Queen!"Lydora was panicking.

"Ah, it's over."Yohannes said softly towards his wife and Lydora could still hear him clearly.

"Eh? What do you mean, your highness?"Lydora asked in a clear voice and it made Queen Edna quite angry.

John could only sweep his face to watch the anger of the Queen's mother. While Lydora was, she was just wailing like a child when she saw the atmosphere in the room suddenly turn horrible.

"Yohan, did you tell your wife to call you that?"Queen Edna asked in a cold voice.

"Um...so what else should he call me?"Tanya Yohannes was still in her usual tone but remained afraid of her mother.

"Basic stupid! Your wife should have called your name straight away! Or better yet your wife should call you her husband or call you dear! What the fuck? Your glorious calling time? You're the one, Yohan! Do you think of your wife as your servant huh?!"Queen Edna's words became indignantly vague.

Lydora choked when the Queen's mother told her to call her husband in public.

"Sorry mother. But you know we're not each other..."Yohannes said, but his speech was suddenly interrupted.

Lydora who had heard him could immediately understand what Yohannes meant.

He wants to say that we don't love each other, right?

"What is not what is it that is not what each other? you've slept together even before you got married."Said Queen Edna spontaneously and managed to make the two couples choke together. Fortunately, only the two men heard it.

"Mother..."Yohannes said, patience is running out.

"Mom doesn't care what your reasons are. You're married and you're both adults. I was hoping to get a grandson soon. So if you hear your wife still calling you noble, you'll know the consequences, Yohan!"Queen Edna glared at Yohannes.

"What's? Grandchildren?! Mom, this is still too fast!"Yohannes was so surprised.

"What is too fast? You are 26 years old and Lydora is 23 years old. So what else to wait for?"Ask Queen Edna.

The two couples were silent for a moment glancing at each other in confusion.
