The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 67 (In revision)

Aldrich and Ellen could not say that what the astrologer said was true.

"What makes you feel uneasy?"Ellen asked, feeling bad.

"I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, is your majesty not from this world?"Ask the astrologer blatantly.

Ellen rounded her eyes not believing that the clairvoyant could know her origin.

Aldrich glanced at Ellen, surprised by what the astrologer said.

"What do you mean my wife is not from this world?"Aldrich did not understand.

"I can tell from the magic that the witch taught me. I don't know for sure but I'm sure that the noble empress is not from this world. If I may ask, has the noble empress ever been born in a previous life?"

Ellen's hand shook slightly. He's trying to stay calm. He did not want to bring new problems especially he had just been happy with the King.

"What do you mean to say such absurd things to me?!"Ask Ellen.

The fortuneteller smiled as if he knew if Ellen was trying not to acknowledge her identity.

"Your Majesty is currently pregnant for almost 3 months, right?"Ask the astrologer again.

Ellen silently showed an expression that was difficult to describe. Her hand even held her skirt tightly.

"I'm sorry once again, but I'm forced to tell you this terrible news. Your child will be born healthy but may not live long."The prophet's words are getting more and more horrible.

"You! I can't believe your every word! You must be a fraud and just want money, right?"Aldrich asked in anger.

"No, your majesty, I don't need your money. I'm just telling you the truth. After your two children are born, chances are that your lives will have a lot of trouble and misfortune."

"Trust my words, if you don't want to regret."Say the astrologer.

"Guards! Get rid of this con man!"Aldrich.

Two bodyguards immediately wanted to pull out the fortune teller. "Don't touch me, I can walk on my own. Thank you for your time both noble King and honorable empress."The clairvoyant said stay relaxed.

"Wait!"Ellen had believed the words of the fortune teller. Of course he believed because what the astrologer said was true about him.

"What the fuck are you Ellen? You can't believe the old woman's words!"Aldrich was angry.

Ellen walked up to the fortune teller and ignored the King's ban.

"Is there anything we can do to prevent it?"Ask Ellen.

The astrologer smiled again. "Easy, you should be able to go back to where you came from."The astrologer whispered.

How could I possibly go back?! In my real world, my corpse has been planted. There's no way my soul can re-enter that rotting body! Is this fortune teller really crazy?!

"Don't tell me that makes sense."Ellen said with a cold expression.

"But didn't you have time to believe my words? If you want your child to live a healthy and happy life, you are forced to sacrifice yourself so that your child is not exposed to the curse."

Ellen remained silent. His eyes suddenly shed tears. Aldrich had seen it and he was really angry when he saw someone who had made his wife cry.

"Well, I'll go, your majesty, I'm sorry."The astrologer kept smiling casually and walked away.

"Ellen, don't listen to him. He may have deliberately frightened us. I can't believe the con man's fortune teller!"Aldrich.

"What about our marriage? Wasn't our marriage because of the witch's orders? We used to hate each other because of coercion, didn't we?"Ellen said in tears.

Aldrich surprised. He had never really hated Ellen since their first meeting. Her heart became sick when Ellen hated it.

"You don't believe my words? I told you that I never hated you. And..you hate me?"Ask Aldrich back.

"Yes! I used to hate you! I was betrothed to a king whose rumors are notoriously cruel and likes to play women! Even though it was just a rumor, my heart still hurts to hear everyone say it over and over again in my ear. I don't really want to get married either. I still want to spend the rest of my teenage years. But fate says something else."Ellen finally told her heart.

"But as time goes on, you're increasingly showing your true nature that I never imagined. You care about me. You care about me and always be with me. You're jealous of me too. You know, I'm glad to know that it's all on you. And. I never hated you again, Aldrich..."Ellen smiled.

Aldrich who listened to the heart that Ellen uttered smiled felt so moved. He then hugged his wife so tightly and did not know what to say.

"You believe me. I promise I won't leave you. As you wish, I will do anything to make you happy."Aldrich.

Finally, the sweet words that Ellen had been hoping to say as well. "Yes, I believe you. Thank you for accepting me, and there's one thing I want to tell you."Ellen said sadly.

He would not be able to calm down if the speech of the astrologer continued to disturb his mind.

"What's that?"Ask Aldrich.

"Can you trust me? Actually what the fortune teller said was true about me."Ellen smiled sadly.

Aldrich. He tried to convince himself to trust his wife just once. "I believe."Her speech.

Ellen smiled broadly when she heard Aldrich say she believed him. "So, I don't know where to begin to explain."Ellen asked confused.

"Why not from the beginning?"

"Ah, yes it is. At first I lived before just an ordinary poor woman. I accidentally found a book that looks good. I read it and I get annoyed with the woman. If you want to know, the woman's name is Ellen. But he's not me. My name is actually...Jane."Ellen said a little embarrassed when telling her real name to the King.

Argha! In the end I told him my real name!! He must think I'm crazy right now....

"Jane yeah. Then why are you upset with the main character? Don't tell me the world you're into is a novel?!"Aldrich asked in surprise.

Ellen immediately showed an expression that what Aldrich was asking was really true.

"Sorry, your majesty, I look like a fraud. But I have a feeling that the witch has been making me into this world."Ellen was sad to remember the truth.

"But if you don't come here, maybe the story won't be what it is now, right?"

Ellen remained silent.

"If you're not here, maybe the contents of the novel will continue to work as the original. Because of you, I can know you."Aldrich smiled. She stroked Ellen's hair and kissed her.

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