The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 24 (In revision)

After preparing, Ellen tried to catch her breath to deal with a stressful breakfast event. Especially if he is twice late.

"Good morning, Queen Her Majesty, Princess and Miss Anna."Hello Ellen with a smile.

The queen again only responded with a nod. He asked because he knew what the answer was.

"Hey, you're intending to be empress, aren't you?"Katherine quipped.

"You've dared to come late twice. Where's your manners? Sister Anna is even more diligent in getting up early than you are."

Well, early in the morning it's been a storm. A snot like you is good to be quiet...

"The reason I'm late, I can't tell a minor like you princess yet. You'll understand after marriage."Ellen said lightly.

"What! How dare you to me! Don't forget I'm a princess! You and I are only three years apart!"Katherine did not accept.

"But I'm an empress, princess. Even though I had only been acting as empress for two days, it was still the princess who should have been more at my command. And you're still a minor, right?"Ellen.

Katherine still wants to answer Ellen's words.

"Enough! Don't make a fuss while I'm still here."Aldrich.

Katherine instantly went silent and she caught a glimpse of Ellen smilingly making fun of her.

Just watch out for you!

At the castle, as promised Erick has been dressed neatly to ask Maya out. He tries to find Maya, but her figure is difficult to find. And he met Stevany who was cleaning up.

"Excuse me, you're Maya's friend, right?"Erick asked Stevany.

Mr Erick! How'this? Maya asked me for help that she no longer wanted to see him.

"Ah yes sir, that's right."Answer Stevany.

"Do you know where Maya is? I plan to take her away with me today."

"Err..seems like Maya is currently unable to meet Mr. She's not feeling well."Stevany said, Reason.

"Maya's sick? Then please take me to his place. I want to see his condition."Erick.

"But Sir..."

"I really want to meet him, please. There's something I want to say too. I'll increase your salary if you want to take me to his place."Erick begged.

Stevany took a breath. "Okay sir, I'll take you. But you don't have to add to my salary. I hope you don't make my best friend sad."Stevany.

"good. I promise."Erick.

Stevany takes Erick to Maya's sleeping quarters. He was still feeling sad and his eyes were swollen.

And Maya is shocked by the knock of the door from the outside. "May! Your friend said you were sick? Open the door, Maya, I know you're inside!"Call Erick.

Well, why does he have to come at a time like this?

Maya had no intention of opening the door. But he was afraid of being fired for having fought his employer. Finally he opened the door slowly and revealed his tangled self.

"What are you looking for me, sir?"

Did she cry? Is this because of me and she thinks I'm dating Carol? I guess I should explain it now.

"Sorry Mister. It seems I can't go on a walk with you. As Stevany said, I'm not feeling well."

"Then can I come in? There's something I want to say too."

Maya opens the door wider and lets Erick into her small room.

They sat on a small sofa close together. "Are you crying because Carol took me out last night?"Ask Erick to make sure.

Maya shakes. "No, sir. Why do I weep for the Master who was invited to walk Miss Carol. It has nothing to do with me."

"There's. That's because you love me, right? You feel jealous and scared if I go out with another girl. And. I don't actually have anything to do with Miss Carol."Erick.

Maya glanced at Erick in disbelief.

"Let me explain..."Erick started telling stories.

The day that Carol takes Erick for a walk, Erick doesn't think that walking with Carol is any stiffer than with Maya. Carol was just busy looking for something and she bought so many insignificant things in the city.

Erick was so bored because all day they were just walking around. Carol takes Erick to a restaurant.

They ordered food and they ate together. Erick had hoped he could go home soon and somehow he kept thinking about Maya.

"Erick's."Call Carol this time as usual.

"Yes Miss?"

"There's something I want to tell you. Will you be my lover? I'm actually interested in you and I like you."Carol and Erick widened their eyes in shock.

"N-miss like me?"

Carol nodded. "I know that you like me too. We're just gonna have a relationship right up to marriage and we're gonna live happily."Carol said as she held Erick's hand.

"Anu...Miss, I am so sorry. But I can't accept your statement. "Speak Erick. Now he knew who his heart was.

Carol's face changed. He looked so scary that Erick didn't dare look at him.

"Why? Is this because of that lowly servant? You like women like that?"Carol asked immediately revealing her true nature.

"What did you say Miss?"Erick did not believe it.

"Yes, it must be because of that woman! Why do you like a lowly woman like her? He has nothing to be proud of and he dares to act in front of me! You should feel grateful that a woman like me likes you!"Carol.

Erick immediately dislikes Carol's nature. "It turns out I've been wrong to think that you're really a graceful woman as people say. Listen carefully Miss, not all men will fall in love with a woman's excess. Instead he will fall in love with a woman as simple, sincere and courageous as Maya. Even though she's just a waitress, but she can eventually make me fall in love with her because of her personality."Answer Erick.

"You! Heh, okay. It's okay if you reject me. You will regret for rejecting me! I'll make sure it happens."Carol moved straight out of her chair. However, he was not aware that people had already seen his attitude. Everyone in there whispered and stared low at him.

Carol walked quickly because everyone knew her true nature.

"So, you rejected Miss Carol?"Maya did not believe it.

Erick nodded. "He doesn't deserve to be with me. I feel like you deserve me more. Maya, I already know what's in my heart. Namely yourself. Will you be my lover? Sorry if I have such a careless shortcoming for example. I'll try to treat you well."Erick.

Maya is crying again. He had not expected that the feelings he had been harboring for so many years would manifest. Like a dream, Maya immediately felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

Maya nodded. "I want Master! Thank you for liking me too!"Maya is very happy.

Erick widened both hands to hug Maya. Maya quickly entered the man's arms.
