The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 7 (In revision)

Inside the Eastern palace, right in the ballroom was so majestic and many guests were present. Ellen came with Erick to fulfill his promise. This time Ellen dressed up as a princess.

They managed to come to the party for making a pretty compelling reason for their mother to be allowed and all thanks to Erick's sometimes clever idea.

"Well, it turns out you two are finally coming too."Sapa Yohannes saw the presence of the sister's brother.

"Of course we came Prince. We have fulfilled our promise, right?"Reply Erick.

"Haha almost. Come with me upstairs."Yohannes and his two brothers said.

John took them to an upper balcony where guests were rarely there. He took them there so they could talk. Not to forget the view from below is also very charming.

"Lord, the garden is beautiful from here."Ellen was blown away after looking down.

"Beautiful right? That park was my favorite and my mom's."Yohannes was pleased.

"Oh, then where is the Prince's Empress?"Ask Ellen who didn't see Yohannes' parents.

Yohannes fell silent and his face became sad.

"You're what the hell Ellen is?"Erick asked angrily and felt bad for Yohannes.

Ellen became confused herself.

Did I ask wrongly?

"Haha, it's okay Erick. I think Miss Ellen already knew about my parents?"

Ellen furrowed her brows again to remember. It seemed like her memory had already somewhat decreased due to too much she had to learn in her new life.

God, why am I so senile now? The Prince's mother is gone. Now there is a successor even though the Prince does not like the new empress.

"Ah forgive me Prince. I almost forgot that the old empress is gone."Ellen said with guilt.

"No need to apologize. It is true that my mother is gone. Rather than discussing such a sad thing, let's get to the dance."Yohannes said taking her sister to the dance hall.

The two sister brothers only obeyed although in their hearts they still felt sad at the thought of Yohannes' feelings.

Upon arriving at the dance hall, Yohannes offers her hand to take Ellen to dance with her. Of course all eyes looked towards them.

"Miss Ellen, will you dance with me?"

"S-i..."Ellen longed to refuse because she had promised her mother that she should not get too close to John because it could cause bad rumors.

"If you don't want to, I won't tell you about the curse either."The whisper of Yohannes brought her face to Ellen's ears so that Ellen felt amused.

"B-good Prince, I'm willing."Ellen said resignedly because information about the curse was much more important.

After a long tiring event, finally the two brothers returned home to their castle even though the night was almost late. But after arriving, they were greeted with a look of wrath by the mother. The two sisters could immediately guess what made their mother so angry like that.

"You guys really have dared to cheat on mom!"Madam Ziane said in a big rage.

"Yes mom knows. But you guys have been there too late like this! And you know Ellen? King Aldrich visited our castle!"Madame Ziane said that made Ellen widen her eyes.

"W-what...? W-why is he coming?"Ask Ellen.

"You still ask why? In a moment, just count the days you were 18. And the King wants to accelerate his engagement within 1 month. After one week, you're just getting married."Mrs Duchess explained.

"Quick that?! Ma'am, I still don't understand why we should make this match. And should not the King's wife be a princess of royal descent? Why should I be the Duke's only daughter?"Ellen was so clueless about the culture that existed in this strange land.

"Don't ask too many questions. Just do what you should do. You'll know the answer someday."

Ellen could not continue with her question that until now had not been answered. What he thought more about was the anxiety that he seemed to have made the King even more resentful towards him.

"Mom, can't I change my matchmaking with someone else?"Ask Ellen but Plaque! Madam Ziane directly slapped Ellen's cheek. Erick felt surprised by his mother who suddenly slapped his sister's cheek.

"Don't talk carelessly! You should be grateful that the King has agreed to your betrothal! He even bothered to come here just to see you. But you're the one who's not even in the place! You know how embarrassed your mom and dad are now?"

Ellen furrowed her brows feeling astonished. In the novel there is no telling that the King will pay a visit to their castle. They will only meet during the engagement and wedding. Because what he knows is that the King does not like the main character very much.

Whatisthis? Has the novel I entered the storyline changed? Though I have not done anything but just change a little change in the life of the original cast.

"Mom better calm down. We really don't know if the King is visiting our castle. I beg you not to upset Ellen anymore because she doesn't know anything either."Erick tried to defend his brother.

"Haah, it's up to you. I don't know if your sister's done anything embarrassing the second time."Madame Ziane said then she passed away towards her room.

Ellen just swallowed her saliva still with a feeling of fear.

"Ellen, don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine. You also need a vacation like this. You've been doing so much incredible."Erick tried to calm Ellen down.

"Yes, thank you, brother."Ellen smiled.

"If so let me call Maya. You need to get some rest."

Ellen nodded then she remembered something. By the way, Maya likes her sister. Should I ask Maya? I think they both seem to fit in. Brother doesn't need a match like me either.

In addition Erick calls Maya and Maya quickly arrives. He was so happy that Erick called his name.

"W-What's the matter, sir?"Maya asked nervously.

"Help my sister clean her body. He should rest well tonight."Erick.

"Good sir."

Erick soon passes away leaving Maya looking at him from behind the man's back. Maya then immediately approached Nonanya who was already in the room.

"Miss, you've been waiting for la-Jeez Miss! your cheek is hurt!"Maya panics at the sight of a slap on Ellen's cheek.

Ellen was silent and daydreaming. But she can still hear Maya's voice worrying that she is trying to treat a cut on her cheek.

Seriate.
