The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 16 (In revision)

in 10 days, Aldrich will be back. He defeated the Southern states. He is still doing treatment for recovery.

Ellen was still thinking about her brother's words as well as Maya's. Honestly, it helped him a lot. He only needed to make the King fall in love with him so that he would not suffer in the future. But the problem is that he really doesn't know what to do. He really had no experience at all about love.

I have to ask for help from people who are experienced about love. But with whom? My sister despite dating 6 times, still sucks. If with Maya, I'm afraid that the more troublesome she is, after all, she must also be waiting for sister's answer.

Ellen kept thinking hard until someone called her she didn't know. "Miss Ellen!"

"Eh? Uh, Edward?"Ellen was shocked to see that Edward was already standing in front of her.

"What did you think until you didn't hear me call from earlier Miss?"Ask Edward.

"I..it...may I ask uncle first?"Ask Ellen back.

"Eh.of course Miss."

"Uncle is married, right? I'd like to ask you, how can you make your wife fall in love with you?"

"There used to be a story. You want to hear my story when I was young, Miss?"

"May, if you want to tell me."

"Then, my wife was a cold woman. I once expressed my feelings to him but was rejected. But I thought if I still had a chance I finally decided not to give up. I know he loves his parents so much. So I thought maybe if he familiarized himself with his parents he could consider me. I tried to find out what made both parents happy and it turned out that I was successful. I did it not because I wanted to get attention, but I did it sincerely and treated both parents like my biological parents. So maybe that's one way people like us. But in my opinion, it depends on the person as well."

"so yeah. Okay, thanks Edward!"Ellen.

"May you succeed Miss."Edward said as if he knew.

"Yes!"Ellen replies and Edward leaves.

Hmm, I think I should start familiarizing myself with the noble old man King Aldrich. His father is dead and his mother is left. I don't think it's going to be too difficult...

Ellen then went to find her mother. When she met her mother, she began to ask questions. "Mom, I want to ask."

"Ask what, baby?"Ask her mother this time to relax.

"I plan to meet with Queen Irene. Can I meet her, ma'am?"Ask Ellen. Of course that question left Madame Ziane in shock because all she knew was that Ellen did not so much approve of her betrothal.

"You want to see Queen Irene? Why suddenly? Have you changed your mind?"

Ellen nodded. "You don't want me to have to accept this match, do you? At least I should make an effort to get acquainted with the noble parents of King Aldrich."

Madam Ziane then smiled. She felt grateful that her daughter was able to start accepting the arranged marriage she arranged.

"You can meet him but you have to make a report with him first. If you want, I can accompany you there."

"Mom wants to accompany me? Then I'll be very helpful, ma'am."Ellen said in relief. It seems like this time it will be the umpteenth time he went together with his mother after such a long time.

"alright. You better write the letter now. If the payback has come, we'll leave immediately."Mrs Ziane.

"Good ma'am. Thank you." Thank you."Ellen said then she went to start writing letters to Queen Irene.

After he wrote a few sentences in the letter, he immediately sent it. A day later, a reply came and Queen Irene could meet.

As promised, Lady Ziane Iu accompanied her daughter to the Valkyrie palace. On the way, Ellen was so nervous and scared. But he tried to strengthen himself and appear confident.

Once there, how magnificent the palace they visited. This was the first time Ellen had set foot in such a vast and enormous palace. It is even larger than the palace of Prince Yohannes. There are probably more than a hundred rooms inside.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen." Greetings Ellen and Lady Ziane together.

"Welcome. Come here, sit with me."The Queen replied kindly.

Well, Queen Irene is very similar to King Aldrich. Even though she said she was old, she was still very beautiful.

"How are you guys?"Ask Queen Irene.

"Our news is both good, Your Majesty the Queen."Answer Mrs Ziane.

"My son will be back in 9 days. I'm really proud of him. I hope she's okay after coming back."Queen Irene was sad.

"Your Majesty the Queen need not worry. Your Majesty the King must be fine. I'm sure it is."Ellen. Queen Irene stared at her future daughter-in-law. Maybe he was judging and Ellen noticed.

"How can you be sure if my child is okay?"

"Of course because His Majesty the King is the most powerful King. He managed to defeat the South country, that means he must be fine. If he's injured, he's in recovery."Ellen assured.

"That means you believe him?"Ask Queen Irene again.

"certain...Her Majesty the Queen. I believe in him."Ellen replied a little confused by Queen Irene's question.

Queen Irene remained flat-spoken. Instantly the room became quiet.

"Your Majesty the Queen, thank you that Her Majesty the Queen has given me the opportunity. I'll try my best."Ellen and the two women who were with her were shocked.

"Although you'll be my daughter-in-law, I'll keep an eye on you."The Queen's words sounded like a threat.

"Of course, your Majesty the Queen. You can throw me out if I don't make you believe me."Ellen said with a smile.

Madame Ziane who heard her daughter say so was completely unexpected. Soon a girl appears younger than Ellen. He was the King's younger brother, Katherine. Some people call her Kath.

He stared dislikefully at Ellen and Ellen kept smiling.

"Why did you invite them here?"Kath asked, sounding a little impolite.

"Speak politely! Mother invited them of course because they wanted to visit us."Answer Queen Irene.

"Huh, why don't you match your sister with a woman who's a little better than her? They are poor families!"Kath.

"So what you said Katherine! If your brother's here maybe he'll lock you up in the back shed again. Mother herself would have locked you in there if you couldn't change the way you speak!"

"Curtain!"Kath walked away irritated.

So arrogant of him! See how I deal with it.

"I'm sorry about my daughter's attitude. He can't be an adult yet."Queen Irene was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, Your Majesty."Ellen replied calmly.

Queen Irene began to think it seemed like her son-in-law was not a woman who was easily oppressed. Also visible on his face seems like he is cunning.

This girl is quite confident as well. I really need to watch her.

Seriate.
