“What makes you say that?”

The darkness in his eyes that looked at me shook slightly, unseemly, as if he had tried to hide it from me.

“I just happened to pass by near the office and heard it accidentally.”

“You did.”

He paused for a moment and stared at me again.

“Your right. The day after tomorrow she will come back.”

Unlike his calm voice, I had my hands trembling, but I pretended to be okay.

“Lize is the concubine of the Western Kingdom. How could she… Can she come back? She’s not going to visit for a while right?, She’s coming back to the country to stay?”

His eyebrows were raised slightly.

I don’t know if it’s annoying for me to pry further into questions, but it didn’t sit well with me.


But soon he looked at me and said to me.

“About two weeks ago. The king of the West died of a chronic disease and the crown prince inherited the throne.”

“Ah….”

Only then did I remember hearing it. The King of the West’s illness seemed to have not been very talked about today even though he was well known.

“And what he did as soon as he got to the throne was to clean up the palace after the late King. Among them, the concubines who did not sleep with the late king allowed them to leave the palace.”

The concubines of the Western Kingdom were told that when King Moshidone dies, she would have to spend her life in a monastery or something. But allowing them to leave…….

“So, now….Lize is again able return to the Empire completely.”

“Yes, again, it will be called the artist’s love after Lize Nacios.

Speaking relaxed, he breathed wine. Thoughtless attitude, But I had already read his different look.

If I had come back as a concubine, I would never have gotten involved with Raymond.

I was anxious.

When I held my hand under the table, I heard Raymond’s low voice calling my name.

“Ellie.”

I faced his dark black eyes that I had tried to avoid.

“….yes.”

“It’s a problem you don’t have to worry about.”

“You don’t have to be worried.?”

What does that mean? At the moment, various uneasy thoughts came to my mind.

“I don’t intend to pass on my promise.”

…….Promise. Promise.

What would you do if you hadn’t promised?

The question soared to my throat, but I couldn’t open my mouth.

“It won’t change anything if she leaves and comes back. I don’t mean to make the palace noisy with a fight of passion. You’re the only empress to me.”

He said it in an indifferent tone, but at the moment I saw some emotion that touched his eyes.

My heart felt tight, but I tried not to pay any attention to it and drew a smile.

“….. okay.”

But an ominous premonition has never been wrong.
(Meaning your gut feelings are never wrong! ITS TRUE!)1

Two days later, he couldn’t keep up with the words he said not to worry about.

“Your Majesty, will you bring another dress?”

I was picking a dress to attend the evening party.

But when I didn’t respond to a few dresses, Helan asked me carefully.

“Ah.”

At that time, when I came to my senses and looked around, I saw the ladies who were looking at me with a worried face.

This has been the case since the news that Lizzena was coming back spread to the Imperial Palace.

I was often lost in thought, and the maids seemed to feel sorry for me on such a day.

In this way, even my child was an atmosphere that would be the object of sympathy.

You need to get your head on straight.

I couldn’t let the rumors that the empress was depressed and add to the social circle that would be more noisy after Lize left.

I put my head straight up and turned to Helan.

“Yes, go get a more glamorous dress, It’s been a long time since I’ve had a party with His Majesty. “

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The ladies quickly removed the dresses and entered the dressing room.

I was going to be accompanied by Raymond, but today it was her return party.

Time flew so fast that it became the day when Lize returned.

Raymond told me not to care, but I had not been able to sleep well since I heard that she was coming back.

Then, I heard that her return party is going to be held today by the Marquis.

After Arriving, little Lize went to the kingdom and had left to the capital for a while.

Rumor had it that he was so sad that he sent his daughter to the concubine of the old king that he had to take care of her. That’s why she’s coming back. It’ll be a great pleasure for the Marquis.

It was natural to throw a party for his daughter, but it was hard to understand why Raymond was going there too.

/’Ray, isn’t there no reason why Ray should go to the party?’/

/’There’s no reason to go as an emperor, but it’s right to go as a man named Raymond?’/

/’Raymond, and not as the Emperor… ?’/

/’Ellie, you know that. It was because of me that Lize left me to become a concubine of the West. Now that you’ve had a hard time not having to do it for me, it’s right to be polite.’/

It is said that it was because of the prince’s command that Lizzena went to the kingdom.

In the name of strengthening the alliance with the West Kingdom,

However, there was a rumor behind ‘that’ rumor saying Lize refused to marry the Crown Prince and was expelled to Raymond and out of the Western Kingdom.

But rumors that ostensibly circulated in society were a little different.

At that time, The Marquis was in financial trouble due to a big fire in the land.

For the sake of her family, Lize expressed her intention to marry the West’s King first.

So It was thought that it her choice to go to become the concubine of the West.

Of course, Raymond may have believed that she was leaving because of herself.

/’Ellie, I’m just saying hello to the party. Lize, Has been humiliated a lot because of me. So I want to give her at least a amount of consideration.’/

He was already determined to go to the party.

Would he have gone so easily if he had thought of the gossip that would follow me at the party?

Minimal Consideration.

I wasn’t in his care.

So I decided to go to the party with him today.

To protect myself my honor that he would not protect. Only then could I protect my child.

And wanted to show me Lize.

I don’t know if it’s childish and mean, but I’m the only one who can stand by Raymond.
(No it’s not childish, Your his wife, of course you should be suspicious if he’s with his ex-lover)

Psh, a laugh came out at the moment.

If it hadn’t been for Lize to go out to the West, it would have been her, not me, standing by Raymond now.

I’m the one who stole his side by surprise.

I want to show this look to her, I couldn’t help but laugh at myself.

I felt frustrated as if I had a heavy stone in my chest. I closed my eyes and exhaled slowly.

If I’m having a hard time, my baby is having a hard time, too.

Now that I wasn’t alone, I had to be more careful.

I stroked the boat as a apology. Even though it may still be just too small, I still believed that I could feel it with my heart.
(Just FYI she refers her stomach as a ‘boat’. Note for future chapter references)

Moreover….When should I tell Raymond about my pregnancy?

Actually, it doesn’t matter if I say it right now, but I couldn’t say it easily because I thought it would be full of Raymond’s head right now.

Because I didn’t want my kid to fall behind Lize in his priorities.

But I had to keep silent. After a little while, I’ll start morning sickness, so somehow Raymond will know.

I have to tell you after her return party is over.

When Raymond sees me back in person, he may be able to empty his head a little bit of longing over Lize.

I’m felt sorry for my baby, but I had a bittersweet smile on my face.

The fact that I didn’t announce my child’s existence was nothing more than admitting that my child was pushed behind me.

My mouth was written in that fact, but I couldn’t help it. Lize I was the one I could never win no matter how hard I tried.

“Your Majesty, how about this gold-embellished dress?”

When I was beating my chest with frustration, Helan, who brought me a new dress, asked me.

The dress that Helan brought was the dress that Raymond sent me as a birthday present the previous year.

A dress made only by the designer of the Imperial Supreme Salon.

It meant a lot to me, but soon after my birthday, I miscarried my baby, and I never wore that dress.

Does Raymond remember asking me to stand in this dress?

Every year I celebrated my birthday, but I knew Raymond didn’t pick the presents himself.


But that dress was not only a birthday present, but also a celebration of pregnancy.

He was truly happy to hear that he had a child, so wouldn’t he have chosen that gift himself?

I looked at the delicate gold threaded dress and said to Helan,

“I’ll wear this.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The maids moved quickly and began to dress me up.

With a face that keeps getting dark and forced to smile, I hoped that he would recognize this dress.

“Your Majesty, His Majesty, has arrived at the palace.”
