The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 54 (In revision)
"Oh Jiya, Rina! Good morning." Good morning."Reply Ellen.
Ellen looked at the scar on Jiya. Of course it hasn't gone away and it still feels like it still hurts.
"Jiya, does your wound still hurt?"Ask Ellen worried.
"Ah, not your highness. Rina has treated it. The pain is completely gone."Jiya replied smiling.
"Once again I thank you all for helping me. Jiya and Theo even got hurt because of me."Ellen said sadly.
"No majesty, it is we who should thank you. Since you've been here, our lives have become more colorful. Her Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen even Princess Kath could turn out to be warmer thanks to Empress Ellen. We also feel more appreciated. Thank you very much, noble consort Ellen."Jiya.
Ellen who heard it really felt overwhelmed. She was even speechless for Jiya's words that touched her heart so much.
The two brothers dress each other up Ellen more beautiful than usual. Jiya braided Ellen's hair fairly long with a pink flower decoration. While Lina dressed Ellen in a simple fairy dress and not too festive. When it's ready, Ellen is like a fantasy fairy dancing in fairy tales.
"Oh my goodness! You are so beautiful! Are you sure you're human?"Said Rina feeling disbelief in the results of her own makeup.
"Hahaha, what the hell are you talking about, Rina? There are only those who dress me up. "Chap Ellen laughed while blushing in embarrassment.
"What Rina said is true, Your Majesty. Trust us, everyone including the King's own majesty will surely be fascinated to see you."Jiya.

After ready to dance, Ellen went out of the room to the dining room for breakfast. As usual, the king sat down first. Queen Irene and Kath also appear.
Aldrich saw the arrival of his wife and he rounded his eyes. He watched from head to toe. Ellen is so much prettier today and she's so radiant. Especially when Ellen smiled at him.
"Good morning, Queen and Princess Kath!"Hello Ellen cheerful. He looked more confident and bright.
"You're so pretty today Ellen."Praise Queen Irene.
"Thank you mom. It's thanks to Jiya and Rina who dressed me up this morning."Ellen.
"Mother, I want to be danced like that too!"Say Kath so follow along.
"Make what? You are beautiful too."Said Queen Irene.
"Mother lied!"Kath was upset.
"Mom didn't lie to princess. What she said was true, you are also very beautiful!"Ellen.
"Yes yes. But why did my brother keep watching you from before?"Ask Kath pouting.
Eh?
Ellen looked towards Aldrich who was next to her. Aldrich who was looked back at by Ellen immediately turned his gaze in the other direction. Her ears are red.
What's wrong with me? Why should I take my eyes off like this? Didn't I see this boy's face often??
Ellen wondered why Aldrich had thrown his face away. And he was certain that Aldrich was looking at him earlier.
"Are you okay, your highness?"Ellen asked who was astonished by her husband's strange attitude.
"I'm doing fine. Come on, just eat!"Aldrich.
"Ah good noble."
"Hey, did you forget that you can't call me noble anymore?"Ask Aldrich who still remembers his orders.
"Ah sorry I mean Yes Aldrich."Ellen. Aldrich still dislikes regular calls.
While Queen Irene and Kath just watched the two couples feel so astonished.
"Do you want-"Aldrich started again.
"Dear, let's eat the food, it'll be cold."Ellen softly said. His heart was so angry and hot.
Just watch out for you Aldrich!
Aldrich smiled with satisfaction and he ate his breakfast.
Queen Irene and Kath only gawk when Ellen calls Aldrich with a call of affection and oddly enough Aldrich himself asks for it directly.
Kath felt so upset and envious. Even though he is only 15 years old, he still wants to feel his name in love too. His soul began to thrash.
*****
Today Ellen's appearance is very different from her usual day and some people who saw her were fascinated and quite a lot praised her.
Aldrich was even more upset because his wife was praised by many men.
When everyone was gone, Ellen decided she wanted to talk to Aldrich.
"Dear, are you sure you're okay?"Ellen asked worriedly. This day not only avoids the gaze of the eyes, but also puts on a cold look all day.
"Are I..are you doing something wrong?"Ask Ellen.
"Yes. Next time you don't have to dress up like this. Too gouged in the eye and all the men so praise you constantly."Aldrich said frankly.
Wow...I thought what...Is he jealous?!
"Are you jealous?"Ask Ellen curiously. He tried to brave himself.
Aldrich was silent for a moment.
"So what do you think? Which husband likes to be praised by another man?!" Ask Aldrich's back.
"Pffft, there's a guy like that..."Ellen.
"Who?"Aldrich began to stare.
"Somehow, I also kind of forgot..."
"Let's talk to me normally. Don't keep talking formally, except when there's someone else."Aldrich Pinta.
"Ah good. Anybody wants to say ah I mean something I want to talk about."Ellen.
"Say."Aldrich.
"Can Mr Theo be hired as a doctor of the palace trust?"Ellen Pinta.
"What's? You want that man put in our palace?"Aldrich asked in shock.
"Yes, it doesn't matter, does it? Besides he's helped us a lot and he deserves that title."Ellen.
"I don't want to. Do not easily trust others. We don't know what the hidden intentions of him really are."Aldrich.
"I don't think so. He looks honest and what he is. I'm sure she's a lot different than Miss Lizzy."Ellen.
"We're just looking for another, more trustworthy doctor."Aldrich still refused.
"Which doctor? I've heard that this country has very few doctors because of its expensive education."Ellen.
"But should he? I don't like him."
"Why don't you like him? Mr. Theo is a really good man."Ellen said again.
"Stop continuing to praise her! You never even heard me praise me."Aldrich.
Ah, that's right...??
"Sorry, I don't want to praise you. I'm just embarrassed to say it. Not that shame, but.ah, I don't know how to explain myself either..."Ellen was confused herself.
Aldrich seemed to understand what Ellen meant.
"Then what do you like about me, hm?"Aldrich's question began to tempt his wife.
"Ah...that's...didn't I ever say it?"Ask Ellen back.
"When?"Aldrich did not remember.
"That time."
"What did you say?"
"I told you you were handsome."Said Ellen while grinning innocently. But actually he wanted to go straight into the hole and hide right then and there.
Seriate. (Thank you for reading. Don't forget like yes 👍)
