The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 72 (In revision)
Today and in this month, is the birthday of King Aldrich. In fact he doesn't like parties or celebrations about himself because it makes him uncomfortable.
But inevitably he again has to put a mask for the people he will face. Ellen doesn't even know if Aldrich's birthday today because she didn't remember or ask her husband's birthday.
When he woke up, he did not see Aldrich who usually still slept beside him. She wakes up and the waiters as usual decorate her but this time the style is different from the usual day.
"Rina..why today is her dress different than usual? Is there a show?"Ask Ellen.
Lina and Jiya who heard were both shocked. They did not expect that the Queen would forget her husband's birthday.
"Your majesty..did you forget?"Ask Rina.
"Hm? What's wrong?"Ellen asked confused.
Jiya then whispered towards Rina.
"Sister, you better not have to tell your highness the empress until she remembers herself."Jiya Whisper.
"Ah, that's right too...."
Ellen felt an uneasy hunch moreover the two maids had already dared to whisper behind her.
"What are you guys talking about behind my back, huh?"Ask Ellen.
"Eh! I told Mr. Rina that the chef's cooking this time tasted bad, didn't it?"Said Jiya reasoned while elbowing Rina's arm.
"Eh, yes, your highness the empress! Please don't misunderstand us...!"Rina said a little panicked.
They were obviously hiding something from me. Maybe I'd better find out for myself...
Once Ellen was ready to dance, she looked graceful in a simple, light blue dress. Her growing belly showed that Ellen was truly a mighty mother.
"You are so beautiful, noble consort..."Praise Jiya enchanted.
"Thank you!"
Ellen came out while being helped by Rina. As her pregnancy grew, Ellen found it difficult to walk or move.
Wah...what is this? Will there be another party? Real pretty...
Ellen was fascinated to see the entire decor in the room that looked sparkly. The chefs also began to serve so much food and most surprisingly a very beautiful birthday cake.
Soon Ellen met Katherine who was about to enter her room.
"Ah, princess!"Call Ellen.
"Yes? What's up, brother? Well, your stomach is getting bigger and bigger. Does your sister have any trouble walking?"Kath asked worried and somewhat scared.
"Who the hell is not difficult when pregnant this big? You'll also be pregnant, princess."Ellen said with a tired face.
"Ah..true too. What did you call me? Shouldn't you be getting ready?"Ask Katherine.
"Prepared?"Ellen asked, confused.
"Yes, today is Rich's birthday party. Why is big brother like a confused person so?"
"What?"
Ellen gawked for a moment and she had no idea if today was her husband's birthday.
"Oh my God! So today is the king's glorious birthday?!"Ellen was shocked.
"Don't tell me you don't remember your husband's birthday?"Katherine asked back not to be confused with her brother who was sometimes stupid.
"Rather than forgetting, rather I do not know at all the glorious birthday of the king..."Ellen said with a face full of shame and regret.
Ellen seemed to understand what her sister-in-law meant. He nodded and Rina's servant helped to summon Ellen again to meet the King.
Upon finding the King, Aldrich was standing there daydreaming while staring at the view below from the balcony.
"Darling...!"Call Ellen a little pranky.
Aldrich turned to look towards the source of the sound. He also came to his wife who looked exhausted.
"Why are you here? Look, you sweat a lot.You didn't hear my orders, huh?"Ask Aldrich.
"Darling.sorry. I'm sorry I didn't know it was your birthday. I didn't mean to ignore it...Happy birthday to my husband..."Ellen.
Aldrich fell silent and he was moved by his wife's first words on her birthday. He smiled and stroked Ellen's head.
"Thank you."Her speech.
"Sorry also because I can't give you anything as your birthday gift..."Ellen said sadly.
"Whatchu mean? Our child-to-be has been the greatest gift to me."Aldrich.
Ellen's eyes immediately glazed over hearing him.
"Yes yes, that's right too. Soon our son will be born..."Ellen.
Aldrich then lowered his body and brought his face closer to Ellen's stomach. He stroked and kissed her. Before long she clings her face to Ellen's stomach to hear the sound of a baby kicking in it.
"Darling..why didn't you tell me your birthday? Looks like you don't like birthday parties too much, do you?"Ask the sensitive Ellen.
Aldrich was silent for a moment and then stood up again to his wife.
"You wanna sit down first?"Ask Aldrich.
"Ah yes..."Ellen complied and Aldrich swept her into the room to sit on the sofa.
"I don't dislike it. It's just that I feel like I have to remember some dark memories that I shouldn't remember. I'm also sorry about your birthday party that day. That day..."
"I knew. The day of the death of my father, right? I-i understand. You don't have to feel guilty. I don't like birthday parties either. It's not comfortable."Ellen.
Aldrich was shocked because their thoughts were almost the same.
"But I hope that on my birthday, you can't be sad. You should be happy because your wife's happy day should be celebrated with joy. I'm sure you'll be happy to see your son happy, too."Ellen smiled.
Aldrich hugged Ellen. Ellen was truly a wife who could understand herself without being asked.
"Then let's enjoy the party. The guests must have been waiting for us."Ellen said as she extended her hand.
Aldrich gladly accepted Ellen's hand and they walked hand in hand.
Even though the two couples were already aware of their feelings, yet they still did not dare to state each other. But it seems like both of them have realized that their partners love and love them.
They were attended by many guests from various capitals and even countries. Although a little tired, but they both can still take the time to have fun.
Suddenly in that peaceful moment, Ellen held onto her stomach feeling so sick. His face was even pale and full of sweat.
"What's Ellen?!"Ask Aldrich in panic.
"Akhh..my stomach..it hurts so much..please...help me..."Ellen whimpered. He even held onto Aldrich's shirt so tightly that he was in so much pain.
"Oh my God, it looks like my daughter-in-law is about to give birth! Aldrich quickly call the doctor and get Ellen to the room!"Shouted Queen Irene.
