The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 61 (In revision)

"Yes, you're right Erick."Mrs Ziane.

"Mom, can you answer my question? I used to wonder why mom seemed to be trying to keep my distance close to Prince Yohannes?"This time Ellen decided to ask.

I already knew that Prince Yohannes liked the main character because I learned it from the novel I read. But he is still a second lead male who will never get a position with the main character. I can still feel that Prince Yohannes still likes me...! But I didn't know that mom didn't like me being close to the prince, why did she?

"You're insensitive or what? Obviously prince Yohannes likes you so much! I try to keep some distance between you because I also think about the feelings of His Majesty the King! You may not know yet? Since you were 12 years old, we've been determining your betrothal to the King's Majesty."Mrs Ziane.

What's?! I really want to keep my distance between us...Couldn't it be that mom thought about Prince Yohannes' feelings too? Erick said they've been friends since they were 14. Prince Yohannes has been watching me for a long time!

"So that's it mom? It's good that you finally can tell me. I'll never know if you never explain."Ellen.

"I was hoping you wouldn't ask because your business with the prince is no longer related. But since you asked, I had to answer."Mrs Ziane.

"Hey, Ellen I can't believe that Prince Yohannes likes you, even now! She knew you were married and pregnant! Love is blind, right?"Erick.

"You can be quiet, brother?"Ellen said annoyed.

"Anu...Your Majesty, have you ever liked Prince Yohannes?"This time Maya asked.

Ellen was silent for a moment. "It seems like I'd be lying if I said no. Of course I've loved him even he's my first love."Ellen said honestly. Fortunately he said that when Aldrich was nowhere to be.

"What's? So you liked him too?! Then now?"Madam Ziane asked in shock.

"Now that feeling no longer exists. I just feel guilty when I cross paths with him and my heart hurts even more when I look at him."Ellen was sad.

"I seem to know how you feel, Your Majesty..."Maya.

"Then what about Miss Carol? Wasn't she your first love, too? I'm sorry Maya, I don't want to bring up things that happened in the past, I'm just curious about the news."Ellen.

"Yes, it's all right, your majesty. I don't have a problem with that."Maya.

"Why did you suddenly bring up Miss Carol? Ever since he left me at the restaurant that time I never knew from him again. No one believes him because of his own actions. When I asked Prince Yohannes, Miss Carol went to another country to calm down. And I've forgotten it over time, and there's been another woman filling my heart."Erick said then looked gently at Maya.

Maya smiles and her cheeks are red.

"Oh, you guys, this..."Ellen.

After chatting for a long time, the Ellen family finally decided to go home. After they had all left, Aldrich had just returned from outside in his carriage.

"You're home yet? Welcome to baby!"Welcome Ellen while kissing her husband's hand.

"I heard your family was coming?"Aldrich asked who knew the information from his bodyguard.

Ellen nodded. "They stopped by to check on me and ask me about the party I wanted to throw back. That'sthat's all. "Ellen's Jawab.

"What's? Well, it's a pity, but fine. It seemed like it was best rather than having to trouble others again."Ellen was sad.

Aldrich noticed Ellen's sorrowful gaze as she couldn't watch the party she made herself.

"You can watch it but you can't enjoy the party much less drink the wine."Aldrich.

"But I never drink wine?"Ellen was shocked.

"Is that? Then good. Wine is not good for health. You better not have to drink it even if you're not pregnant."Aldrich.

"You must drink it often? Aye right? You're more experienced."Ellen.

"I'm not experienced. I only drink it on important days like parties, war victories or other welcome. I also just drink with a small glass."Aldrich said honestly.

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry I thought you were a guy who likes to drink."Ellen.

"There's more you should know. I hate a drunk. Already, I'm gonna take a shower."Aldrich said, then get ready for the bathroom.

"Well, my husband turned out to be a real man. In my day it was still a tradition."Ellen was amazed by Aldrich.

3 Days later, everyone in the palace rejoiced to enjoy the party, except Ellen. Aldrich even only welcomed guests who came even though he was lazy and wanted to spend time with his wife.

While Ellen just looked from the balcony slightly closed from the vision of the guests. He deliberately hid there so that people did not know of his whereabouts except the owner of the palace.

"It turns out that the party I arranged myself was much prettier than the one before. People are also much more cheerful. Thankfully, it seemed like my idea was indeed the right choice."Ellen was proud.

I hope I don't see that prince again. I'd better get in the room.

Ellen decided to spend some time in her room. Fortunately there were several books located on the shelf in that room. Ellen chose one of the books and started reading it.

"Hmm, this book doesn't have a title? I have never read Aldrich's book either. Can I read it?"Ellen muttered to see the cover of the dark brown book.

"Ah stupidhe's mad at me or not. I'm his wife. She even has to know all about me, when only I can't?"Ellen then opened the book.

The book contained scribbles with a pen. It is obvious that it is a diary. The owner did not write his name. In the first sheet he wrote about a regular journal.

"I just found out if he likes to write, too. Why haven't I been looking at the book?"

Ellen then moved the page to the last page. The page contains a picture of a woman with a pencil scrawl of a sketch shape resembling her. Her golden wave hair, doll face, sky-blue eyes and snow-white skin completely depicted the figure of the female lead character.

Ellen was really surprised. It turns out that all this time the King has been drawing his figure in his diary book.

Seriate. (Thank you for reading. Don't forget like yes 👍)
