The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 31 (In revision)

Saturday was Ellen's day of waiting to leave the palace after a month of marriage to Aldrich. Today Aldrich could not accompany him because there was an important meeting with his ministers.

Ellen was so happy that she would be free without feeling obligated to her cold husband.

"You should get back as soon as possible. I've hired a personal guard for you, his name is Ravin."Aldrich.

"Yes, my majesty, I will definitely return as soon as possible. Thank you for letting me go and also hiring a guard for me."Ellen.

"I hope you're not causing trouble."Aldrich said again.

Glek, Ellen felt that Aldrich really liked spying on her. It was the same if he could not be free as he had hoped.

Ellen then met a handsome young man who was about two years older than her. He looks friendly and polite.

"Greetings to your Majesty. My name is Ravin Hudson. From now on I will work as your personal guard and guarantee the safety of your noble consort."Ravin said while bowing.

"It's nice to meet you Ravin. Please help. Then let's go now."Reply Ellen.

"Okay, your honor."

On the way, they only went alone together with the coachman who took them because they could not bring many people to go to remote areas. They will travel about 3 hours.

Feeling bored, Ellen chose to invite Ravin to chat.

"Ravin, by the way it seems like your age isn't too far with me?"Ask Ellen.

"I'm 20 years old, Your Grace."Answer Ravin.

"Oh, just deserve it. Are you married?"

"Not yet Your Majesty. I still have to focus on my work first."

"Do you know Aldrich well?"

"Yes, your highness. I know the King very well."

"Oh, then do you know if Aldrich likes to play girls? I don't believe that rumor, I'm just curious because everyone almost said it. I hope you'll answer honestly."Ellen.

"You better not believe that rumor, your majesty, because it's not true. His Majesty the King only approached a lot of women, but that does not mean he wants to do it. You are first, your majesty."Ravin said with a smile.

Ellen instantly sculpted. He did not believe what he heard. Somehow his heart suddenly beat like someone was electrocuting him. He was relieved but he was also embarrassed to admit it.

"So..the rumor is not true? But why is Aldrich silent when people say he likes to play girls?"Ask Ellen again.

"I don't know very well, Your Majesty either. He said that just let people say that because there is no point in stopping the endless conversation. You're lucky because you're his first noble woman."Ravin smiled again.

"Ah, stop. I'm not sure if he has feelings for me. I really can't guess what's inside her head."Ellen said with a blush.

Once in town, Ellen was looking at a bakery and she thought it was good to buy souvenirs for her friend.

"Oh well, Your Majesty."Ravin ordered the coachman to stop. The two of them came out and Ravin helped Ellen to get down from the door of the horse carriage by extending her hand.

Ellen could not wait to enter the bakery but she saw the residents around looking strangely at her.

His feelings were immediately unpleasant as those people whispered something that seemed to be unkind.

Ravin himself was also aware of it and he already knew what problems were arising now. He wanted to tell Ellen, but she was too late.

"Your Majesty, let those people. You don't have to care about it. "Ravin Speaks.

"What is Ravin? Is there something wrong with me? They don't seem to like me."Ellen was not calm.

What's the matter? True, it has been a month since marriage I have not had a trip to this city because of busy work. I think there are people who deliberately make trouble with me...

"Here you are, you need not think about it. Think about your Majesty the King who wants you to go home quickly. Let's go to the bakery."Ravin.

Ellen finally complied. They enter the bakery, but suddenly a child throws an egg at Ellen.

"Bad brother, what's here? You should not deserve to be the noble wife of King Aldrich! That brother has an ugly nature and he likes to insult Miss Anna!"Shouted the little boy.

"Lilly! Don't be so boy! you shouldn't throw an egg in the direction of the noble empress Ellen! Are you going to die?! My noble consort apologized for my impudent son's actions, I will punish him, please forgive us your majesty..."Said the owner of the bread while prostrating.

Ellen was silent for a few seconds until she approached the little boy.

"No, what do you want? Do you want to punish me? Just punish me to let people know more about the true nature of brother!"The little boy was not afraid.

"Who incited you? Is that Katherine's daughter with Miss Anna? Do you believe their words?"

"of course! They are good! They often give me gold coins! They looked sad as they complained about how bad big sister's nature was!"Answer the little boy again.

"What did they tell you?"Ask Ellen.

"Yes-his majesty..."Ravin who stood there panicked because Ellen's pretty hair had been hit by a broken egg and must have smelled fishy.

"They said that sister had bullied Miss Anna and Katherine's daughter. Because of sister, Miss Anna cannot marry the noble king! Brother also has no manners and always behaves as he pleases."Say the little boy.

"Lilly! Enough's enough! You better shut the fuck up!"Shouted the bread owner.

"It's okay sir. Is your son telling you the truth?"Ask Ellen.

"That's right, your majesty..."

Ellen smiled. "Sir, have you ever seen their true nature? They're just theatrics. I'm always the one with the sap. Those who insult me and slander me. They did not accept any poor people coming to the palace. And I'm sorry if I don't have manners, but at least I don't vilify the people in the back. If you want gold coins, I'll give you as many as you want. Soon I will prove that what they say is wrong. I'm gonna drag them here and force them to tell the truth."Ellen said with a horrible smile towards the little boy.

Not only was the little boy trembling, but everyone who was there too. No one dared to answer his words.
