The King's Beloved Empress
S2 Episode 49's

A few moments later, Lydora opened her eyes and was shocked as she lay on the bed. He was already in John's room.

"You awake?"Asked a man who was next to Lydora.

Lydora turned to the side where her husband was sitting next to her. Lydora quickly got up to sit down to equal her position with her husband.

"I didn't realize I was here. I remember being with Felice in the park. I seem to have fallen asleep...Did you move me earlier, Yohannes?"Ask Lydora.

"Yes.I'm sorry for locking the door to her room. I just wanted to take a minute alone."Yohannes said in a low tone then he turned to the side feeling embarrassed to show his crybaby side in front of Lydora.

Lydora spontaneously touched Yohannes' hand intending to understand her husband's current feelings. Yohannes who suddenly touched his hand was jerked and immediately turned to his wife again.

"I understand how you feel right now, John. I am also very sad because I met him a few times. I feel it too. Losing someone we love is painful. But we still need to be able to recite John, so that he may be calm there..."Lydora.

"I know, but you also know that my only real family is finally gone. And now I'm alone...."Yohannes said.

Lydora again spontaneously moved and made John raise his head. John rounded his eyes as his wife hugged him.

"L-lydora...?"Tanya Yohannes was nervous. But Lydora did not answer him and still hugged John tightly.

For some reason Yohannes felt much calmer as the woman hugged him. It seems like that is what he really needs right now. She felt warm as if she was no longer alone. John involuntarily returned the embrace and hugged Lydora tightly and leaned his head over Lydora's shoulders.

In a moment, Lydora let go of her embrace. Yohannes was shocked to see Lydora's wet eyes.

"You crying?"

"Yohannes, don't you say that again! You are not alone. We are not your family, but we care about you! You also do not always think your mother is bad even if she did not give birth to you! And I hope you can open your heart to me. You don't get too cold on me like you think I'm a stranger, consider me a friend who can hear your complaints. At least I can help in terms of listening.I will be very happy if you ask for my help, so I will not feel a burden alone when with you..."Lydora said to pour out everything she had wanted to say for a long time.

Yohannes for a moment just stood still and gawked. But she smiled in amazement that Lydora was truly a woman beyond guessing. The woman really tried hard.

Lydora wondered why her husband suddenly smiled. "Why are you smiling? Is there anything strange?"

Yohannes shook his head."It's nothing. Thank you for comforting me. I'm sorry I've been showing you the cold side. I'm used to living a life like this. So I beg you not to think that I hate you. You're that good. So how could I hate you."

Lydora who heard the sumringah. He could not help his smile as Yohannes said that to him. Her heart was so happy that Yohannes seemed to be opening her heart a little. A bit sad, but she didn't expect John to love her. The important thing was that he could see Yohannes happy.

Lydora even blushed because the first time she saw Yohannes who smiled warmly to her.

"Th-it's okay Yohannes. I'm glad you can finally smile again..."Saying a timid Lydora.

Suddenly there was the sound of a worm screaming for food in Lydora's stomach and her voice was very loud.

"Pfft, haha!"Suddenly Yohannes laughed loudly.

Lydora, who had a rumbling stomach, became very embarrassed and quickly covered her face with both hands. "Ahh, you don't laugh! I'm sorry for making such an embarrassing sound!"

"No, haha I'm sorry. I forgot to ask you if you've eaten or not. It's almost afternoon, and since morning you haven't eaten anything."Yohannes.

"I'm not eating.You haven't eaten, have you? Where might I eat on a sad day like this..."Lydora was embarrassed.

"But I might dare to eat when Yohannes and mother are grieving! It would seem I don't care and I certainly wouldn't want to do it. I'd rather we all eat together."Lydora.

"Alright, then let's eat."Get Yohannes off the bed. So did Lydora who came down and followed her husband to go to the dining room.

"Where are you going Lydora?"Yohannes asked.

"Eh? Aren't we going to the dining room?"Lydora asked confusedly.

"No, we'll just eat here. I'll get the waiter to bring the food here."Reply Yohannes.

"What's? B-but I think we'll eat with mom in the dining room..."

Yohannes was silent for a moment. "You don't feel offended by Lydora. But right now I don't want to be disturbed. His mood is still chaotic. Besides, he's been asking me that he wants us to eat together without him."

"Why did you say that?"Asked Lydora again who became sad.

"Yes because he wants to see us get closer! Ugh, I didn't want to explain it to you like this. But you don't understand..."Yohannes was embarrassed.

"Ahh..forgive me this insensitive Yohannes."Lydora was ashamed.

Moments later a waiter knocked on the door to deliver food.

"Come in!"Yohannes.

The waiter came in and served some food on a round table in the room. Lydora wondered why the food served quite a lot.

"The food is too much..."Lydora.

"It's okay. You can choose what you like. I don't know what kind of food you like, so I purposely told the chef to cook some of the menu..."Yohannes said shyly.

Lydora was wrong to think that John was taking her heart.

Ugh, Lydora, don't get carried away with this feeling! Maybe Yohannes just wanted to cheer me up, right?

"Alright, thank you Yohannes. To be honest, I am not very picky about food. Almost all of these foods I love especially sweet foods! Then what kind of food do you like, Yohannes?"Ask Lydora.

"Ah..I like.meat and spicy food, but I don't really like sweet..."Reply Yohannes.

"Oh so, huh? Then let's have a good meal!"

They both ate together. Although John was not appetite because he was still thinking about the departure of his father, but his feelings became a little better when he saw his wife eating.

"Ladyboy..."

"Yes?"
