The King's Beloved Empress
S2 Episode 53's

"Felice, look at those kids playing. Although their lives are all short, but they still play happily as usual. I don't mean to demean them. I feel sorry for them because their lives are not well taken care of like that..."Said Lydora sympathizing.

"Blame his government, Your Majesty. We should be able to finish off the old man as soon as possible. If we can get rid of him so that the people who are here do not suffer anymore. I've heard that the children who live in this area are almost flat nobody goes to school."Reply Felice.

"God! I really wanted to drag the old man, Felice! But he said he was a pretty hard person to handle. The Queen Mother and my husband also warned us to go as far as possible to keep our distance from Mr. Jason."

"That's because Mr. Jason is so manipulative. He's good at doing what's called 'brainwashing' other people. That's why the residents here have eaten all his words."Felice became angry.

Lydora became thinking of starting to devise a plan.

Half an hour later, Lydora felt it was not to the point. He was suspicious why the horse-drawn carriage they were riding towards the interior of the forest.

"Felice, is this really the way? We're going through the woods?"Ask Lydora.

"I also do not know Your Highness.I myself just went out for the first time like this..."Felice began to fear.

"Try asking the coachman."Lydora Pinta

My feelings suddenly became very bad...Why are the guards silent?

"Hey, Sir! Where do you intend to take us?"Felice asked the Lord Cabby.

"Of course I brought Her Majesty the Queen to the resting place, Miss. Didn't I say that?"Answer the Horseman.

"Don't lie! All we saw since we first entered was a forest! Do you intend to harm us, huh?!"Felice Hardcore.

"Where may I dare Miss.patience a little. The journey is indeed a bit far, but believe me, soon we will arrive."The driver began to panic.

"Stop the train now!"Lydora Command. He felt this was starting to be untrue.

"What's? B-but we're almost up to your majesty..."Said Mr. Kusir was shocked.

"I said stop the carriage! Have you dared to fight a Queen huh?!"Lydora.

"Well, forgive me, your majesty!"Said the Master Coach starting to get scared and immediately stopped his carriage.

Lydora quickly opened the train door and got down from there.

"Wait for Your Majesty! Be careful when you fall, you can fall!"Felice said in a panic.

Lydora ignored the words of her lady-in-waiting and walked around. Everywhere only the forest was seen and the forest seemed to have some ferocious beasts inside. Some of his followers (the guards) also stopped their horses feeling astonished by their masters who were pacing around in such panic.

"What's your highness?"Ask one of the guards.

Lydora did not reply and she furrowed her brows. He clenched his hands starting to feel furious. Before long he went straight to the Master Cabler who was standing in front of the horse carriage.

"Master, answer me. Are you being ordered by Mr Jason?"Ask Lydora directly to the point.

"W-what? Q.no, your honor! Why do you ask that? I am commanded by His Majesty King John!"The driver was shaking.

"Ciii! Please, not your Majesty! I was actually commanded by His Majesty the King! Didn't the chariot emblem come from our Kingdom? Why does the Queen's majesty not believe?!"Say that Cabman.

Why are these stupid guards silent?! Do none of them know this shortcut?! Shouted Mr. Driver inwardly.

"Then why did you take us to the forest?! My husband didn't tell me our resting place was through the woods. Instead he said just passing through the village!"Reply Lydora.

"I-this is a glorious shortcut! And I usually do go this way because if we pass through the village, the people there can attack us! I swear to you, your majesty!"Said the Lord Cabby.

"Attacked us? Whatchu mean?"Lydora asked puzzled by Mr. Driver's remark.

"Look, my majesty, I only intend to save you to avoid the residents who have been affected by Mr. Jason's words. They all hate you and His Majesty the King. If we get through that village, they could attack us. At the beginning of the journey, did you not notice the gazes of some residents who were staring intently at our horse-drawn carriage? I quickly led you down this road. Nor will they dare with the guards who follow you. But if we keep going through the village road, we'll definitely be attacked by them."Said Mr. Driver at length.

"What the coachman said seemed to be right, your highness, for we also saw the unpleasant views of the villagers."Answer one of the guards.

Lydora was silent for a moment and she did not notice the gazes of the residents earlier. There were only a few children playing and one or two villagers walking to shoulder their crops. But before long the horse-drawn carriage immediately turned towards the forest.

"Is that true? Why are they so easy to eat Mr Jason's words?!"Lydora asked still in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, calm down. They are like that because Mr. Jason is their only hope of survival. Maybe Mr. Jason once saved someone so the residents respect him so much and listen to all his words."Felice began to understand.

"Well, that's him I mean Your Majesty! You have to believe me, hicks! Are the gentlemen who follow Her Majesty the Queen also no one knows this shortcut?!"Ask the Lord the driver to cry.

They were all silent until someone answered.

"Pardon us Lord and Her Majesty the Queen. In fact we know this shortcut, but we think the Lord Consort has told her Majesty from the very beginning."Answer one of the guards.

"Ah.ma-pardon me.I am too panicked and scared, and I did not have time to tell your Majesty the Queen. I was so scared and quickly led you to this shortcut. Forgive me for making your majesty suspicious and frightened..."Said Mr. Cabby bowing his body feeling guilty.

"Pardon us too, Her Majesty the Queen.we do not intend to be silent just now. We have neglected to do our duty..."Say one of the guards and they all bow.

"Haa.already. This misunderstanding makes my head hurt..."Said Lydora kneading her temple.

"Come, let's continue the journey. We don't have much time. For the next time I hope no mistake will be repeated a second time."Lydora.

"Well, thank you for forgiving our noble one..."

"Who said I've forgiven you?"

Eh?

While at Jason's residence, Jason gets word that the horse-drawn carriage did not enter the village street. He was so upset that his plan did not go well.

"Damn it!"
