The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 29 (In revision)

After a draining quarrel and battle, the couple slept with each other to catch their breath. Ellen was actually still upset with the King because the King did not want to tell her any information.

"Your majesty, can't I know the slightest thing about you? I have often heard people praising you, but I have never heard of your glorious personal life."Ellen was curious.

"You don't need to know. Nothing interesting to tell. And don't ever discuss my personal life especially when it comes to my past."Aldrich.

A past? Oh yeah right too, in the novel this man is very anti with the memory of his past. He doesn't want anyone to know about his personal problems except his family. If only I had read the novel until it was over then..would I ask mom?

"Oh well, your majesty, it's okay if you don't want to tell me about it and I won't ask you anything more. But there is one thing I want to ask, how is Miss Viona? If His Majesty permits, may I come visit him?"Ask Ellen.

"You're the loyal kind of friend, aren't you? You always remember that friend of yours who used to insult you."

Ellen jerks. He didn't expect Aldrich to know much about him. He was also upset that he felt unfair. Because Aldrich can know everything about him, but not with him.

"You how do you know it's His Majesty? Have you been spying on me all this time?"

"No. I just concluded. News that the woman is fine. If you want to visit him, you can leave on Saturday."Answer Aldrich.

"So I can actually go there?"Ellen asked with sparkling eyes.

"I will not repeat my words."Aldrich.

Hid

"All right, your highness. I'm just making sure again. Thank you, your majesty for allowing."Ellen was happy.

Yes, Saturday tomorrow is my freedom day for a dozen years! I can go alone this time without him!

During the day, Katherine complained to her mother in tears. He did not see Anna when he met her in the room. And when Ellen came, Katherine immediately cornered her.

"Mother, this is all because of that woman! He's the one who kicked Anna out!"Shouting Kath.

"I? Why do you blame me? I'm your sister-in-law, not Anna!"Ellen did not want to lose.

"Sister-in-law? Heh, I will never consider you my sister-in-law because you are not worthy!"Say Kath arrogantly.

"That's it Kath, don't start again. You have to accept that Ellen is your sister-in-law!"Queen Irene this time defended her daughter-in-law.

"Mother what the hell? Didn't you not like her before? Why is it that you're defending her now rather than your own daughter?"Kath asked, not accepting.

"Who said you didn't like it? Didn't you tell me, did you?"Ask Queen Irene.

"Daughter Katherine, what's the reason you don't like me? Is it just because I come from a family that is not rich?"Ask Ellen.

"Yes, you know. Do you know why it's still acting?"Reply Kath.

"I still don't understand Princess though I'm not as rich as Anna, but I'm still a Duke's daughter. I have a castle to stay in. I don't need fancy things to satisfy my life. What matters is that I don't live with a shortage. The princess should be happy because your sister-in-law is not a matre woman, right?"

Katherine fell silent. He was really upset that Ellen could always reply to him.

"Then why did you kick Anna's sister out? What did he have wrong with you?"Ask Kath again.

Got it wrong what did you say?

"Huh, it was supposed to be Rich who married Anna's sister, not you."

Patience...

"Daughter is very dear to Miss Anna? How the hell did you guys get that close?"Ask Ellen curiously.

"You don't have to interfere! You're a nobody, so you don't need to know."Kath said then she left.

"I'm sorry my daughter Ellen. He's very difficult to manage. Though he had been counseled many times and given punishment to be deterred, but he remained unchanged."Queen Irene felt guilty.

"It's okay Mom. I'll teach her a lesson she'll never forget."Ellen said with a rather scary smile.

"Oh yes ma'am, can you tell me about your family? I'm very curious. You don't have to tell me everything. I just want to be able to know about what to do in the royal family."

Queen Irene seemed to have a slight objection. It seems like a sensitive thing to tell.

"You sure you want to hear it? Promise me you won't tell anyone about the royal family's private life."Said Queen Irene.

"Ah, of course Mother. I always keep my word."Ellen said sure.

"Then come with me."Invite Queen Irene and Ellen.

Upon arrival, Queen Irene led him into a room that looked private. Somehow Ellen felt a little hesitant and suddenly her hair was goosebumps.

They then sat on the sofa and Queen Irene's face turned very serious.

"You must know the tragedy of Aldrich's father's death, right?"Ask Queen Irene.

"uh.that I don't really remember Mom. I was 6 years old then..."

Aye, right. At that time I did not see the news of the death of the noble king Steven because I had not yet entered this body.

"He died exactly the same month and date of birth as you."Said Queen Irene.

Deg, Ellen remembered something. It was on the day of his birthday party that he did not see the presence of the King.

So that's the reason the King's Majesty didn't come? It turns out that my birthday is the anniversary of the death of the King!

"Oh, so so yes Mother! I just found out now! It is fitting that I did not see His Majesty King Aldrich coming to my birthday party at that time."Ellen.

"Yes, forgive us for not being able to come. Our family will attend my husband's funeral. Every that date, Aldrich likes to get angry is unclear. And he'll lock himself up in his room all day."Queen Irene was sad.

Ellen, who heard it, felt sad and guilty. He shouldn't always blame Aldrich for what he knows, it looks like Aldrich is also a child who lacks affection.

"I often feel like I'm a failure being a mother because I can't always be with her. I gave birth to her when I was too young. I wasn't ready and was too sensitive at the time. I really regret what I did. Aldrich lives in a dark world. She can't even express herself properly because of all that because of me. Not to mention Katherine..."Queen Irene suddenly cried.

Ellen could only be surprised by what she heard. It turns out that behind the prosperity of the Valkyrie country, there is a gloomy and sad family.
