The Happy Ending Love Story

The Empress Crown #35

The aristocratic world of Elderbar was shaken. The nobles who from the beginning were against abolishing the laws of the emperor's wife who would later become empress were noble women, issuing a petition of the deposition of the empress who had just been auctioned.

The commotion on the day of the coronation is famous for the tea party scandal. Duchess Sofia Hexalios and Consort Janetta Elderbar are the hottest lips in the capital.

In women not even except the men secretly conduct meetings to gossip about the scandal of tea parties. The whispers from the lower roots wriggled and swayed the upper order.

Spicy criticism was leveled at the current imperial couple. Disgruntled and disillusioned feelings hatch from many places. Even this scandal made headlines in local newspapers. It has become a public consumption, from commoners to nobles.

After her scandal broke Empress Janetta Elderbar locked herself inside the palace like she had a terminal illness. Even the servants find it hard to see his face. It was as if a coward had run away after making a mistake. Who should defuse it? Of course Emperor Alex Elderbar.

The situation did not improve even like pouring oil into a blazing fire. Criticism of him is getting more and more spicy. Complaints until the swearing are often thrown at the incompatibility of the behavior of Empress Elderbar.

The empress is the first lady, her personality is exemplary. How can the people believe and follow him if the first day of his coronation, the Empress was even brutal.

Sofia's name did not escape the gossip. Everyone is like a profiler, trying to figure it out and compare it to Janetta. His past is revealed. His identity was even easily talked about on the streets.

Jordan's upset. The tea party scandal seems to hurt Sofia more than Janetta. Although viewed from another point of view. Jordan just doesn't want anyone else to mention Sofia's name. Sofia is just hers.

Almost every day there are aristocratic meetings to discuss the decline of the title of Empress. It's more than a headache. How not, Jordan must attend because not long ago he entered into his system. If it would end like this after completing his mission he should resign.

Jordan pressed his temple when he heard officials arguing with each other. There are two groups. Pros and cons. As for how Alex behaved, of course he was silent. Stoicly listening to them to the end while trying to help Janetta even though it looked ridiculous in Jordan's eyes.

Very incompetent. Jordan has vented his anger on Janetta and Alex three days after Sofia was knocked unconscious. He personally came to the palace after sending a warning letter. They get to know each other and he's good friends with Janetta. So Jordan didn't think he was actually a rude person.

"This matter will be left to the public. I'm not gonna make a damning statement or lighten up what you're doing Janetta. Many people were witnesses and the victim was Sofia. How dare you touch her without my permission. Have you forgotten who made you empress? You're totally crazy Janetta!" Jordan's anger is blaring.

They can only be silent. Alex himself could not argue because it was very clear what Janetta was doing at the time. Like covering the sun with just the palm of the hand. Impossible.

"If anything happens to Sofia I will never forgive you. Bow down to him when he wakes up. Otherwise, I can do whatever I want. Including shaking your crown until it falls. Remember it's Janetta." Jordan ended his speech harshly. He slammed the door and left the palace.

"I told you to leave him alone." Alex opened his mouth after Jordan left.

"How are you going to solve this mess now?"

"I'm sorry." Janetta replied slowly.

"So stop your guilt and do not dare to go out of the palace. Don't do anything unreasonable that makes public opinion worse."

Janetta nodded.

That's why Jordan prefers to be quiet and stick around attending to the crap he has to hear every day. Her frustration increased because Sofia had not yet woken up. It had been thirty days since he had fainted. No one knew of his circumstances except the people in the Hexalios mansion.

Jordan is drowning in fear because Sofia is like an undead. The more days his body gets thinner and his face is pale. Fortunately there were healers from the temple who kept his body awake. Jordan's almost crazy.

It felt like he was slashing every head he saw today. Their nonsense is getting more and more horrible. He was afraid he could not survive. The bloodlust that had been sleeping inside her lately woke up. Maybe he could calm down a little by looking at the blood.

But Jordan remembers Sofia. She doesn't want Sofia to wake up one day and see her in a mad state. Jordan closed his eyes tightly and loosened his tie. Tight chest. He needs to clear it up. The only person who can help her is Sofia. She needs Sofia.

Amidst the chaos, Sir White's knight commander approached him.

He lowered his back then whispered in Jordan's ear.

"Your Majesty, the Madam is awake."

Sontak Jordan stood up then stepped towards the door.

"The horse-drawn carriage is ready at the front door." Sir White walked after Jordan.

Jordan doesn't care about the meeting. Her head was filled with Sofia. He just wants to go home and meet Sofia. That'sthat's all.

One of the servants who found Sofia awake shouted and shocked the entire mansion. Finally, Jordan's room that had previously been a very sacred place became crowded. The servants gathered there. Wanted to see their mistress whom they had been worried about all this time.

Sofia circulated her gaze to all corners then opened her mouth.

"Where is this?"

The butler came forward and answered.

"In Her Majesty's room."

Sofia nodded then was about to open her mouth but was preceded by the butler who knew what Sofia was going to ask.

"His Majesty is on his way back from the palace."

"Help me up." Sofia's Order.

"Doctor will come soon Madam, please rest first."

Not long after the doctors came and did the examination. Sofia sat leaning against the head of the bed. There were four people surrounding him but only one person questioned him. The other three focused on healing him.

"How does the madam feel? Does anything hurt?"

Sofia shook her head slowly. There was no pain in his body. It was just that his body was so weak that to move his hands alone he could not.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Sofia asked with a hoarse voice.

"Thirty-two days Madam." Doctor answered.

Sofia's face was distorted. It's been that long it turns out. He deserves no energy. Although he did not eat or drink as long as his body remained fresh and did not suffer any damage. It seemed to be because the healers from the Elderbar Temple were paying close attention to it.

Sofia turned her gaze to the two young women beside her. They're watching him closely.

"Your Majesty the Duke has arrived Madam."

Uh. Sofia's heart is pounding. Recalling Jordan's confession he heard while unconscious. What should he do, be honest with him or act as if he doesn't know.

In the middle of his complicated mind. The sound of hurried footsteps drew closer.

"Sophy."

Sofia's head looked up and their gazes met.

Oh God.

Sofia's heart almost exploded. Maybe her cheeks have been colored red. The one who stood not far from him was the one he missed so much. Her familiar voice was once her life's hope. A soothing voice at once soothing.

"Jordan.." Sofia said. It is barely audible. He forced his smile.

Jordan's steps wide approached him. Her body fell down near Sofia.

Sofia was surprised.

"Jordan what are you doing?"

"Is that really you? Are you really awake? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Jordan grabs Sofia's hand and kisses her. Her tears are spilling. A masculine face that is always cracked.

Sofia's body stiffened.

The doctors and waiters left the room without warning. The sentimental events of his master couple were not public consumption. Secretly the butler closed the door and then dispersed the maid. He arranged for some servants to stay. In an attempt at any time their master called. They stood at a safe distance with faces filled with relief.

"Jordan I'm fine." Sofia wiped the tears on Jordan's cheeks.

How can a man cry like this. Men should show a strong attitude. Crying is better suited for women. So Sofia's heart ached to see Jordan cry. Who is he hingha dares to make His Highness the Duke cry.

"Yes I know that." Jordan lifted his body and sat down on the bed.

"I'm so worried." Added.

"I'm sorry." Answer Sofia slowly.

"Please don't be like this again. You're scaring me."

Suddenly Jordan pulls Sofia's body and hugs her. The warmth soon spread. Either whose heartbeat sounds louder, which they know is equally loud. They hugged for a long time in silence.

Although their bodies were close to each other, their minds were not the same. The two people who were hugging awkwardly did not know what to do after this.

Sofia who was trying to arrange her heart received a warm embrace from Jordan. Right now he chose silence and would find the right time to express his feelings.

A moment later, Jordan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. His only worry has faded. He promises himself to keep Sofia from repeating this incident.

No one knew when they would be honest about each other's feelings.
