The King's Beloved Empress
S2 Episode 18's

Stacey soon met her mother.

"Mother? Did you finish teaching that woman?"Stacey asked who was astonished to see her mother return sooner.

"Mom won't teach the boy. The boy was very brash and had no manners. Her face is not as pretty as you."Madam Bella was still upset considering the incident earlier.

"What did the woman do, so much so that she got angry like this?"Ask Stacey.

"The boy had dared to refute the mother's words. He felt he was the most right. His arrogance really made my mother very irritated. I'm sure she won't escape being Queen or get Prince Yohannes' heart."Said Mrs Bella.

"Heh, is that it? He would definitely not be able to get it because his Highness the Prince himself hates him so much mother."Stacey.

"really? What's the reason he hates that woman?"Ask Mrs Bella.

"Let's know, I've asked His Highness the Prince and he himself has no idea why he hates the woman he's been betrothed to. But he said he did not like the woman's red hair. And today she even praised my hair mother!"Stacey is a sumringah.

"really? What did he tell you?"Ask Mrs Bella so be happy to hear it.

"The Prince said that my hair is much better than that of the woman. Don't I still have a chance then? Maybe Prince Yohannes will be with me, won't he?"Stacey said she was very hopeful.

"It looks like what you're saying is true, Stacey. Try to get close to Prince Yohannes little by little and don't be too hasty. You must also make that woman named Lydora helpless before you."Madam Bella smiled cunningly.

"Of course, mother."Reply Stacey with a smile full of mystery.

Later that night, all the family gathered at the dinner table, except for King Peter who could not attend because he was still sick. He had to stay in bed and be taken care of by a few servants.

At the long table, there is Queen Edna, Prince Yohannes, Lady Bella, Stacey and not to forget about Lydora.

Lydora didn't want to come for dinner because she was so lazy to meet Mrs Bella. This time he met his daughter. Stacey kept staring at him and it really made Lydora uncomfortable.

Lydora could not read the meaning of Stacey's flat gaze. If their eyes met, Stacey immediately smiled at him, and Lydora was forced to return the smile. But he was convinced that Stacey must have had a bad goal.

And even more awkwardly, Lydora was ordered to sit right beside Yohannes. Yohannes did not speak a word. At the dinner table there was silence. At his residence he could still chat lightly on the dining table.

And this time he became nostalgic that eating together like this was not much different from him eating alone in his old boarding house before he moved into this world.

Lydora could not even swallow the meat of the steak she was chewing at this time. It was like a thorn in his throat because it was very uncomfortable with the atmosphere at the dining table.

After the dinner, Queen Edna looked at John with a certain meaning that could not be understood by Lydora or Lady Bella and Miss Stacey.

Only Yohannes understood and he clucked. Spontaneous Queen Edna glared sharply at him and Yohannes could only sigh.

"Hey, come with me for a minute."Yohannes finally invited Lydora to speak. But his words still sounded cold as usual.

"Eh? Good, your honor."Said Lydora in shock.

John moved out of his chair as did Lydora. Queen Edna smiled towards the two couples. While Mrs Bella and Stacey certainly look unhappy with what happened.

After the couple left, Queen Edna looked at Lady Bella and Stacey.

"Mrs Bella, there's something I want to ask you."Said Queen Edna.

"Yes? What's up, Your Majesty?"Ask Mrs Bella.

"Why don't you teach my son-in-law?"

Son-in-law said?! He's not even part of this family!

"Look, your majesty, Miss Lydora has dared to refute my words and she has also said something disrespectful to me. I don't want to teach a child who has such vices."Answer Mrs Bella.

"Is that? But my son-in-law has dared to argue like that because you must be talking about something that is not good to him, right?"Said Queen Edna.

"N-no, I think because she's not a girl who has a good nature and I just want to advise her. Many people have judged it bad. Rumor is so too. I don't want her to be an incompetent Queen."

"But he won't take my advice. He said I was not as good as him and did not deserve to teach him. Since he said so, I chose to just leave."Said Mrs Bella.

Queen Edna felt full of doubt over Mrs Bella's complaint. He wasn't sure if Lydora would say that even if he heard that Lydora was labeled a bad woman.

"Then, please forgive him. He must remain my successor."Said Queen Edna.

"What's? But your highness..."

"Don't dare to refute my words. I'm more on top of you, you understand? Tomorrow I'll be watching how you teach my son-in-law."Queen Edna said coldly.

Madam Bella can't be cut out right away. Inevitably he was forced to take orders from a woman he hated.

At the place where John and Lydora were, John took Lydora up the balcony and decided to speak on the balcony.

Lydora did not stop pouting for being too afraid to mix in annoyance, why she had to follow the man and hear his orders.

Arriving on the balcony, Lydora was fascinated by the beautiful night sky. Shimmering stars filled the sky so that its reflection was in both Lydora's eyes.

"Miss Lydora."Call Yohannes by name and that certainly makes Lydora not believe in hearing it.

He called my name? Did I hear wrong?

"Yes, what's the matter, your majesty?"Ask Lydora.

"I'm sorry."Yohannes said in a soft tone like so embarrassed to say it.

"Eh? You said what, your majesty? I didn't hear."Lydora said, then reflex approached.

"Ck, I said I was min-"

Duars!! Suddenly there was lightning that appeared until it made Lydora aghast in shock.

"Yahoo!!!"Lydora Shouts. He reflexively hugged Yohannes' waist until Yohannes himself was startled.

Before long the rain came slowly and for a long time became heavy. Unfortunately there were no supports on the balcony so the two couples became wet with rain. While the lightning continues to sound and it makes Lydora even more frightened.

"Miss Lydora, please let me go first."Pinta Yohannes's.

"Sorry, my majesty, I am afraid of lightning!"Lydora.

Yohannes swept his wet face and hair.

Ck, you troublesome!
