The King's Beloved Empress
S2 Episode 47's

The two couples then returned to their rooms after the Queen mother's long lecture. Lydora again had to obey her husband to come into the room.

"Lydora I forgot that you can't call me noble in front of mom and dad. And everything went awry. So from now on I'm asking you to call my name straight away and it'll be between the two of us or in public."Yohannes's Order.

"Eh, um.all right. I'm sorry, because it was also my fault for not being able to read the situation..."Lydora felt guilty.

"Well, I hope you're always careful."

Lydora also nodded. Some time the room became quiet because they were both confused what to say again. Remembering the Queen's mother's request about the child made the two of them meet again red.

Eventually Lydora chose to speak up first.

"Y-Yohannes..."Call Lydora slowly. The moment Yohannes heard Lydora calling him by his name straight away for the first time, he instantly froze and his feelings suddenly felt strange.

"On the request of the Queen, do not think too much. I also did not want to have children. I've just served as Queen and there's still a lot of work to do as well. So if the Queen Mother asks, I will answer her like that. I'm sure you'll understand, so you don't have to worry, Yohannes."Lydora.

Yohannes was silent for a moment. Somehow he was very nervous this time when he was alone with Lydora, but he knew that he did not need to be like that, because they had been meeting almost every day.

"Ah, yes. Good though. I still have to go back to do my job. You also do something you have to do. Then I'll go first. We'll see you later tonight."Yohannes seemed to be in a hurry.

"Ah.ya, alright Yohannes."Reply Lydora again who was a little confused by the attitude of Yohannes who suddenly looked urgent like that.

What's wrong with her? Why is he so tense and hasty like that huh?

Later that night, they meet again in the dining room. As yesterday, Queen Edna did not accompany her son and daughter-in-law at the dinner table. Now there was only Lydora and John sitting at the table. The seat of King Peter has now been replaced by John. Lydora also replaced the Queen Mother.

So his current position, Lydora sat in right next to Yohannes. It looks so lonely and awkward. Neither of them dared to speak up.

Lydora also enjoyed her dinner while daydreaming. But suddenly he was thinking about his future when he had children later. He stared at the empty seats in front of him if one day they would be filled by their future children.

If I had a child someday, maybe the atmosphere of this dining table would be crowded and fun huh? But is it possible that I could have a child with Yohannes?

Yohannes who had glanced at his wife who was next to him had frowned feeling confused by the rapid change in Lydora's face.

What's this kid? His mood changes quickly, right? And now he's sad?

"Lydora, if you feel exhausted to continue your work, you can continue it again tomorrow morning."Yohannes finally invited Lydora to speak.

"Eh?"Lydora flinched and her daydream was renewed. He became ashamed of himself thinking about the child at a time like this.

"I'll send you to the Northern Territory in about 1 month, anyway, so you still have time to finish."Yohannes.

"Sa-I'm not tired! I was thinking something else. Sorry to make you worry."Saying Lydora is ashamed.

"What were you thinking then?"Yohannes asked.

"Er..."And at that time Lydora remembered the words of Sandy's servant about the fortune teller they discussed earlier this afternoon.

"So I thought of an astrologer who he said recently was popular!"Lydora.

"Helpter? Why are you suddenly thinking about a fortune teller?"Tanya Yohannes was astonished.

He really did not want Yohannes to know the contents of Lydora's true head.

"Do..you believe in the so-called prophecy?"Ask Lydora.

"I don't know. But I don't think I need to believe such an obscure thing. I better not know it because I will not be thinking or hoping for what will happen to me in the future. I want to live it according to the decision I chose myself without knowing what will happen next."Yohannes.

Lydora was a little amazed by Yohannes' reply. But he became sad again because of his unclear origins into the novel he was reading. If he had told Yohannes that, John would not have believed his words and said he was crazy.

After dinner, John got out of his chair and was followed by his wife. They were about to get ready to clean themselves and rest. Throughout the day they have done many activities that are so exhausting.

But just as John was about to leave, he turned to look at Lydora who was walking in the opposite direction to him.

"Where are you going Lydora?"Ask Yohannes.

"Ah, I want to continue my work. I promised Felice to continue tonight."Answer Lydora.

"You still want to continue your work at this hour? Never mind, you just move on tomorrow morning. Today we just take a break and tell Felice not to have to continue tonight."Yohannes.

"Um, but I'm really not tired Yohannes. I'm fine..."

"Oh, have you dared to defy my orders apparently?"Yohannes asked, angry.

"Eh?? N-no, no! All right, I won't continue tonight..."Said Lydora who became afraid.

She why the hell? Something wrong with his head, right??

And when he saw Lydora who was afraid of him, Yohannes could not help his smile because it felt funny. But she didn't want to until Lydora saw her smiling self. He immediately turned his body.

Yohannes then led the way to the room and was followed by Lydora behind him like a chick.

Upon arriving at the room, Yohannes went into the bathroom first. And Lydora also chose to change clothes and replace them with bathrobes.

Moments later, John came out of the bathroom in his bathrobe. Lydora looked at the man whose chest was slightly open and whose wave hair was wet.

Dear God, what more trials have you given me?!

Lydora's heart cannot be controlled. It felt like she wanted to explode at that moment also seeing her husband's improved good looks.

"Hey, why are you just dumbass? You're not taking a shower?"Tanya Yohannes who was astonished by Lydora who was gawking in front of him.

"Eh, i-this I also want to take a shower!"Lydora said, walking quickly to the bathroom.

As the door closed, Yohannes looked at the door thinking.

He had already called me by name, but he still spoke formally huh? Make me uncomfortable!
