The King's Beloved Empress
S2 Episode 51's

Several days have passed, since the incident of Queen Edna's request for grandchildren, until now Lydora has not dared to question the reason to John why her husband could-can-can agree to the request of his mother.

Lydora had been speechless since she saw her mother-in-law looking so happy and giving her great hope. But every night, the two of them still do nothing but sleep and it makes Lydora wonder and had time to think. But he chose to be quiet and wait for a clear answer from Yohannes.

While the day of departure for the Northern Region was near, and Lydora stayed to solve some more problems at her job. As Yohannes guessed, Mr. Jason was indeed a cunning man. And Lydora is really angry about what Mr. Jason did. That was also the day of his departure to be accelerated.

"Yohannes! I've got some weirdness here. He said Mr. Jason was playing gambling and had spent a lot of money, but he lost. And because the money was up, he threatened the people there to give money or they would be tortured to death. No one knows that because Mr. Jason shut the mouths of those who were a little rich with money, while the poor were threatened with torture. Mr. Jason deserves to be punished!"Lydora.

"I was expecting it. But how do you know that information?"Ask Yohannes.

"I know it from all the financial data sets Mr. Jason's put out. Though he said he had spent a lot of money to the people of the northern region, and there were about 250 gold coins, but after I checked there's a weird thing that there's no tax there that records Mr. Jason's financial history. And when I went out with Felice yesterday, I accidentally overheard a bartender talking about Mr. Jason who used to spend his money on gambling. So I got the answer immediately."

"Ah, you're smart too."Yohannes.

"I just happened to overhear the bartender's words."Lydora was ashamed.

"Wait, but why did you meet a bartender yesterday? Did you...go have a drink?!"

"Eh, no-no! I don't drink! I'm just accompanying Felice because it looks like she's been having problems lately. So he asked me to accompany him for drinks in that place. I just drink juice."Lydora said in a panic and was a little afraid of Yohannes' anger.

"May your lady take you to that place. Just watch out for you if I know you're drinking in there!"Yohannes.

"N-no, how could I dare my husband. I can't drink alcohol either..."Lydora's words started to whistle.

"So what are you going to do next?"Ask Yohannes again.

"Ah, I ask you to hasten my departure there. I don't want to linger letting that old man have fun torturing the people. But Yohannes, I keep wondering why until now no one knew what Mr Jason was doing? Even if anyone knew, why would all of them no one dared to tell the capital? Even though Mr. Jason had threatened and paid people to shut up. But no one dared to report it? It was for their own good, right? Ask Lydora.

"If you get there later you'll be surprised. That Northern Region actually had a large population, even more than the capital. That's because most people live there are poor and they are still thick with the name of culture. I've heard that if they get a little richer than them, that person they'll make a leader and they'll do whatever the leader says, even if they have to die. If they have a leader, their lives can be taken care of because-"

"But if the leader is like that when they still want to obey him?! Would they rather be tortured like that?!"Lydora immediately cut off the conversation because she was very angry.

"No, it's because they're helpless."Reply Yohannes briefly.

"They can do nothing but surrender because they can't ask anyone for help. Even if they all work together, they will still lose because Mr. Jason is a government that is quite strong than other governments.His twin brother is the same! I don't mean to blame dad for him choosing Mr. Jason to lead the territory nor help his twin. Do you know what? Actually, Mr. Jason is my father's brother-in-law. My father's sister loves him so much, but he loves the wrong people. Mr. Jason is a basket-eyed man. There are many women who are used as eyewash. I'd be worried myself if you went there without me. The point is you have to be careful of him and keep as much distance from him as possible."Yohannes.

"Well, I know. Yohannes, can't we just kill him? He's just dad-in-law anyway, right? With his bad nature, he doesn't deserve to be a leader!"Lydora's words begin to explode.

"I knew. But my father's family was very stubborn and I wasn't so close to them. Punishing him would be very difficult. Instead I was closer to the family of my late mother and also the mother of Queen Edna. My father's family is a little weird, especially his sisters-in-law."John whispered to Lydora.

"Not to mention Mrs Bella and her son. They are also one of them. Really sucks."Yohannes became a headache.

"It turns out your family's a little complicated, huh, husband."Lydora said it felt bad.

"Well, instead of thinking about that, the day after tomorrow I'll send you there by train. Felice will be with you, too. I'm sorry I couldn't keep you company..."Yohannes.

"It's okay Yohannes. With you already trusting me and giving this task to me, I feel very honored."Lydora said with a sweet smile.

"One more thing. About my mother's request, it's also true that we better soon have offspring. I have been so lonely since my father died. Even if we are, we are busy ourselves. If there are small children present here, maybe the mother will be a little happy because there is something to comfort her. I'm actually embarrassed to explain it to you and not talk about it to you for days."Yohannes' face began to be red like a tomato.

"I know you're not ready to have children either, let alone the task I've given you is quite strenuous and dangerous. Then I will wait for you until you are ready..."Yohannes said that his face was really red and could resist embarrassment.

"Pfft, haha! My husband has a side like this too. Ahaha!"Lydora laughed. She also blushed with her husband's words.

"Don't laugh. I've really gathered my courage to talk about this, you know!"Yohannes said it was wrong.

"Haha, I know. But I'll be ready if you have any love for me, Yohannes. Then from that I will also wait for your declaration of love, then about the child I think."Said Lydora then left the room.

John who heard it froze.

Loved her? Is it currently me

loved her? I. I don't know.
