The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 70 (In revision)
"What do you really want?"Jane asked with a cold expression.
"My mother? I just want to do what keeps me from getting bored. As long as I live I can do anything until I feel bored. Ever since I found you, my boredom has at least eased a little."Answer the witch again lightly.
"Hiks...can't you have a little conscience..I didn't want to live like that either? Do you intend to torture me again by cursing an innocent child in my womb...?"Ellen said in tears.
The witch laughed. "Haha! So you think I haven't had a conscience all this time? Then what about your decomposing body in that land? You just died because you were poor. You held back hunger so that you could save money and in the end you died of hunger. After that I with my conscience carried you to Ellen's body, who also happened to die. I was wondering if it seemed like you could still be given a second chance. Not with Ellen who's always resigned to her miserable life."
"And it turns out I wasn't wrong to bring you back to life. You really make good use of your life and you end up getting a lot of love. But long ago your story bored me. I need you to do something for me if you want your son to survive."The witch continued with a smile.
"If you're bored, why don't you find someone else more interesting?"Jane asked not out of thought with a witch who likes to be careless.
"Heh, it's up to me dong."Say the witch again lightly.
"Haa..so what should I do as you please? If you want me to die for my son, it's better if you kill us all. I can't leave my son alone without a mother."Jane Said.
"Then how about you part with the King? Then you married me."
Jane was silent. He never expected to leave the King.
Because I already love him...
"I can't."Answer Jane briefly.
"Haha, are you really in love with her? Well, I can't do anything anyway because I still have a conscience."The witch's words made Ellen even more confused.
"Why do you think I'm attractive? Why don't you just let me die?"Ask Jane again.
"Hmm, how do I explain it? I'll only love it if you just die."
Ellen was getting annoyed that the witch had already made her lose her temper.
"There is no other way that you can free us from that calamity?"
"If you can't divorce the King and marry me, you can kiss me then."Said the witch.
Has this witch gone mad?
"Come, you want your son to be safe, right? Just a simple command. Just kiss me and it's the lips."The witch spoke while showing her lips.
"Do you like me?"
"Haha! Why do you think that?"Ask the witch.
"Because you've helped me for free. Not to mention you're now asking me to marry you and kiss you..."Ellen.
"Do you think I'm saying that because I like you? Well, maybe..."
Jane chose silence over her getting crazier made by the witch.
"Just kiss and you'll set me free?"Ask Jane.
The witch nodded.
"alright. I hope you keep your promise. Before that I'm sorry I misunderstood you and I'm so grateful that you've given me a second chance at life despite being someone else."Jane Said.
Jane approached and kissed the witch's lips without feeling anything and the witch knew that Jane was not for her.
I'm sorry my husband did this.I had to do it for our son...T-T
"Now close your eyes."Say the witch and Jane just according. Jane suddenly recalled that she did not know what the witch's name was.

Ellen opened her eyes and found herself lying on the bed.
"Allen!"Shouted Aldrich feeling so happy when his wife opened her eyes. He approached and hugged his wife showering him with a kiss.
"Your highness...!"Ellen was a little shocked and she felt guilty about what she had just done in her subconscious.
"Why did you pass out again?"Aldrich looked very worried.
Ellen was silent for a moment. "Oh, it's because-" Ellen's words were interrupted when Queen Irene and Princess Kath suddenly walked into their room.
"Ellen...!"Shouted Queen Irene.
"Sister...!"Kath also followed along. They're approaching Ellen.
"How are you doing?"Ask Queen Irene.
"I'm fine mom. I'm sorry to worry you all again..."Ellen.
"It's okay, son, we're so grateful that you're awake and your pregnancy is okay."Queen Irene said softly.
Ellen smiled deeply. "Does my family know about my situation?"Ask Ellen.
"No. They don't know."Answer Aldrich.
"Ohh..."Ellen was a little relieved they hadn't told her family yet. "How long have I fainted?"
"It's been almost all day."Answer again Aldrich.
I thought for days like that...
"Mom, Kath, can you guys get out first? There's something I want to talk to Ellen about."Aldrich Pinta.
"What's the hell? We just came here to see the condition of brother-in-law, and now brother is kicking us out?!"Kath asked, not accepting.
"That's Kath, let's get out. We can talk to Ellen later."Said Queen Irene as she pulled Kath's hand out.
Finally, only the two couples were in the room.
"You can explain everything now."Aldrich.
"When I passed out, it was actually my soul talking to the witch. I managed to negotiate with him..."Ellen's words shocked Aldrich.
"Huh? What do you mean negotiation?"Aldrich asked starting with his negative thoughts.
"B-not what you think. He was indeed a bit strange because he had the magic he had. I don't know what's on his mind either, but for now it seems like he has removed the curse of his map. At least, our baby will be born lovingly..."Ellen said as she stroked her stomach.
"I didn't think that if you spoke to that person you should let go of your soul first. What if your soul doesn't come back huh?!"Aldrich asked back emotions.
"But now I'm back, right? Come on, baby, don't worry anymore. Everything is under control. From now on let's live quietly as usual."
"I'm still wondering what negotiation you gave the witch...Can't I talk to him like you?"Aldrich's question was still not satisfied with his wife's explanation.
"Can't be dear.I'm the one who's concerned with him..the negotiation..."Ellen began to be confused to think of another reason.
Duh, what should I say...?! If I tell you the truth he'll kill me...!
