The King's Beloved Empress
S2 Episode 48's

The next morning, someone suddenly knocked on the couple's room while they were both asleep in their sleep. The knock sounded unusual and very urgent.

John who heard also narrowed his eyes and felt his head dizzy. He looked towards his wife who was still sleeping next to him facing his back.

John sat himself down and turned to the door that had awakened him.

Ck, who the heck is bothering this early in the morning like this?!

John got out of bed and walked towards the door intending to open it and see who had woken him at half-four this morning.

"What's wrong?"Yohannes asked a bodyguard who knocked on the door of his room while folding his hands in annoyance. The bodyguard looked shaky and sad.

"Gentlemen, there is bad news.Her Majesty the king..."Said the Guards unable to continue his words due to being too trembling.

John who heard the bodyguard's reply rounded his eyes because he immediately understood the purpose of the guard's words. Without any preparation Yohannes ran straight to his father's room. The bodyguard went on to wake up the sleeping Lydora.

The bodyguard was a little afraid to go into John's room because he also knew that he was not allowed to enter the King and Queen's room carelessly.

The bodyguard looked at the bed, where Lydora was still sleeping. "Y-Her Majesty the Queen...! Your Majesty the Queen!" Call the bodyguard out of the door hole.

The disturbed Lydora frowned and opened her eyes slowly. She looked to the side and her husband was no longer beside her.

Where's Yohannes? Was it John who called?

"Her Majesty the Queen!"Shouted the guard again.

Lydora turned to the source of the sound. "Eh, what's up?"Asked Lydora who was shocked and astonished let alone looking at the Guards who looked sad and trembling.

Lydora quickly got out of bed even though she was still feeling dizzy and limp.

"That's your majesty the King, your majesty.you should go to him as soon as possible...!"Said the Guard.

"Eh? Wh-well! Please take me there!"Lydora said in a panic.

The bodyguard nodded and immediately escorted Lydora who was still wearing her pajamas.

Arriving at the King's room, Lydora was able to witness the sound of the Queen Mother's cries as well as John's. They curled up feeling so sad when they saw King Peter lying dead. Lydora quickly approached and her tears also instantly fell.

"Mother...father...?"Lydora's question to her mother-in-law was still in disbelief

Queen Edna just cried and cried. He is unable to speak for the moment. While Yohannes, the man was holding tightly to the sleeve of the nightgown worn by his father while hiding his crying face in his father's arm.

Lydora also approached her father and grabbed his father-in-law's hand.

I can't believe you're leaving so soon, but I still haven't introduced myself so well in front of you...

When the sun was up, the guards told everyone and the public that there was news of the death of King Peter. Of course everyone who heard it was distrustful and sad. They all knew that King Peter was a very good and wise man.

After King Peter was placed in the coffin, the families and everyone wore all-black clothes. Brothers from the King's side all came including the family from the Queen's side.

Back at the Lilwest palace, King Peter's Chest is buried in the Lilwest family's special cemetery located in the western part of the palace. Ever since King Peter left everything, the atmosphere of the palace had become gloomy and not radiant.

Lydora saw her husband who was devastated and Lydora could only calm him by patting Yohannes on the back.

The funeral was long. After everything was done and the men were gone, John chose to be alone in his room. Lydora herself also became excited let alone see Queen Edna who was still faithful sitting next to the husband's grave for almost half an hour.

Felice then went to her mistress who was daydreaming next to the door. "Your Majesty, I am deeply saddened by the passing of King Peter. He was a very good person, so he would definitely go to heaven."

"Yes, Felice. I haven't even had a chance to introduce myself well in front of my father-in-law. Since marrying Yohannes, I haven't had a chance to see my father again. The last time I met him was when I first came here to live here."Said Lydora.

"I know how you feel, Your Majesty. We wish him all the best so he can be calm there. Then what are you doing here alone, Your Majesty? You didn't go in to rest?"Felice asked, looking at Lydora who was just standing next to the room door.

"...Yohannes, he locked the door from the inside and I couldn't get in. I think he'll need a minute alone..."Answer Lydora.

"Ah..Then you rest in another room just first. You must be exhausted. Or if you want, you can occupy my room."Felice said.

"No need Felice. Thank you, but I want to stay here until Yohannes opens the door. He couldn't possibly let his wife outside hold on right?"Lydora refused.

Felice could only sigh."All right, Your Highness. But if you need anything, I'm ready to help. I will also accompany you, but we'd better find a seat first to rest."Felice said again.

"All right, thanks Felice."Lydora finally complies. Lydora follows Felice looking for a place to sit. In addition, Servant Sandy peeked at the two of them just now and she had wanted to say hello to Lydora, but her intention was unsettled because Felice appeared. He was a little scared of Felice.

In the room, after crying for hours, John was thinking of his wife. No matter how bad she feels right now, she keeps her mind on Lydora and how she is doing right now.

Yohannes felt guilty for locking the door. He finally opened the door and wanted to find his wife.

I almost forgot that I already had a wife, even though my feelings were not clear to her at the moment, but she was still the woman I had to pay attention to. What's he doing now? Has he eaten?

Yohannes looked around to confirm the whereabouts of his wife. Before long he saw a servant pass by and bowed respectfully to him.

"Wait, do you know where Lydora is?"Ask Yohannes.

"Her Majesty the Queen is sitting in the garden with Miss Felice, your majesty."Answer the waiter.

"Oh, well thank you for telling me."

The waiter replied with a nod and then he left and Yohannes walked into the park.

As the servant said, John saw Lydora leaning her head on Felice's shoulder.

"Lydora-"

"Sorry, but Her Majesty the Queen is sleeping..."
