The Happy Ending Love Story

The Empress Crown #14

"What do you mean?"

"I want you to release Sofia immediately."

Alex crossed his arms to his chest.

"So you're saying, the Sofia you're looking for is Baron Barell's daughter whom I married a few months ago. Right now you're trying to free him right away?"

"Rubber."

Alex's forehead is wrinkled.

"For now I can't Jody."

"Why? Sofia said that you promised to release her. I wonder when exactly did you keep your promise?"

"Of course." Alex nodded quickly.

"Don't tell me you want to keep tying her up until Janetta gives birth to a prince?" Jordan's voice sharpens.

Alex stumped. From the beginning it was the plan. But it's just Alex's mind and he hasn't told anyone.

"From the beginning it was his job. That absolute law is so annoying." Alex broke his hair. Breath snorted.

"Don't touch Sofia." Jordan's eyes narrowed like an eagle catching its prey. "I don't care if you hold it for longer in Lux's palace. But I won't stay silent if you touch her the slightest thing." Jordan's serious. She knew what Alex would do if Janetta hadn't given birth to a prince.

"Jody, do you realize what you're saying?"

"Yes. I'm not drunk or joking."

Alex fell silent.

"I'm sure you have a lot of plans. If Janetta fails to give birth to the prince, you will make Sofia give birth to him right? You're so petty in politics like this Lux."

"Jodi!" Alex's voice snapped. He's caught red-handed for a mistake he hasn't made.

"Why? You mad? Isn't that the truth? I can read your plans Lux. Don't forget that I'm used to living on the battlefield. Sensitivity is the ultimate capital of survival."

"Don't hunt me down."

"No. I'm just warning you not to touch Sofia." Jordan's voice didn't shake.

Alex's throat was stuck. Facing Jordan is always difficult. But today Jordan's attitude was beyond Alex's expectations. His eyes radiated earnestness and threat. Like not being afraid of anything.

"I've taken a lot of busy people time. I'm retreating." Jordan got up and left Alex.

After kicking the storm into the emperor's study, Jordan often visited the palace. Not to meet Lux or the knight training ground, but to Sofia. Jordan regularly visits Sofia's palace.

That made Sofia awkward at first. But over time Sofia becomes familiar with her new friend. Whatever he did with Jordan was fun.

"Jordan!"

Sofia gasped as she saw Jordan standing as if waiting for her in the front yard.

"Oh Sofia. Good morning." Good morning."

"What are you doing here?"

Yesterday Jordan came with a lot of stuff for him. Then they look for flowers to dry. Usually he will come once every two or three days. Just to talk or have tea. Jordan also often brought snacks. One of them is even her favorite Sofia, a chocolate cake.

And today he came again. Sofia's eyes were wide. Although the surroundings were deserted from the attention of people but if rumors spread it would make things difficult for Jordan.

"Sofia, I brought something."

Sofia's eyes narrowed as Sir White, Jordan's aide, approached with a white horse.

Sofia covered her mouth with both hands. The horse is very beautiful. The horse hair that was like a mane was very long. The white color is like the light of a full moon. Sofia did not expect to see such a beautiful horse.

"I told you I'd teach you how to ride."

Sofia nodded with eyes glistening enthusiastically.

"Come on." Jordan extended his hand.

Sofia hesitated to get closer.

"Sophy." Jordan pulls Sofia's hand.

"It's so pretty." Sofia admired the white horse up close. The horse is very calm and seems obedient.

"This horse is yours Sofia."

"Yes?"

"I gave it to you."

"Huh? Really?"

Sofia's reflex is stroking the white hair of a dangling horse. Very smooth.

"He doesn't have a name yet. This horse is female. You can be friends. I took it from the Hellas Empire which is famous for its pet qualities."

Sofia nodded. He had read a book about the Hellas Empire. The imperial territory across the sea.

"I took great pains to bring her in yesterday Sofia."

Sofia's eyes sparkled as she stared at the beautiful white horse in front of her.

Betraying Jordan's wish that Sofia wants to praise. The woman was busy admiring other objects. Jordan was upset and his lips pursed. It felt like robbing Sofia of all the attention just for her.

"Sophia. You're not thanking me?"

Such a good horse should be in the stables. All his needs must be met.

"I'll take care of it. How about we take a short walk on a horse?"

"But I can't, kyaaa!" Sofia screamed in shock as her legs lost footing.

Jordan easily lifted his body onto the horse. Sofia's hand held on to the saddle of the horse tightly. Then he jumped up and sat behind Sofia.

Sofia's body gasped. Jordan's chest was tightly stuck to his back. Strange feeling rippled.

"I'll take a walk for a while. No need to follow." Decree Jordan.

"Your Majesty." Sir White nodded.

Jordan pulled the horse back and flapped his legs. The horse is moving. Running following Jordan's instructions.

"Jordan slowly! I'mfrightened. Jordan!" Sofia is trying to adjust to her shaken body.

"Straighten your body in front of Sofia. I'll hold you so as not to fall." Jordan wrapped one of her hands around Sofia's stomach. Pulling Sofia's body closer to him.

They reached the lake near the hunting forest. The horse's foot slowed down. Sofia swept her gaze in all directions. It's been a long time since I was last here. After Alex's accident, Sofia does not approach the forest anymore.

"Well, that's beautiful."

"It's beautiful."

The two of them were swept away in the beauty of the clear morning sky. The lake calmed down and the wind was calm.

Sofia closed her eyes and breathed in a lot of clean air.

"By the way Sofia, you haven't named this horse yet."

Jordan goes down first then helps Sofia down. Jordan leads the horse to a nearby tree and then ties it.

Sofia followed Jordan from behind.

"So motion?"

"It's yours Sofia, you're free to give it a name."

"Stella's." Sofia murmured.

"I agree."

"I'm just spontaneous. Maybe Jordan had a better name."

"I didn't. Whatever it is I like."

"Haisss, basic. It's always like that."

Sofia hits Jordan's arm.

"Ah hurts!"

"Don't pretend." Sofia's eyes narrowed.

Laughter exploded from the two of them. This is what it would be like if they were together. Jordan always made Sofia's heart better. The difficulty of living in the palace was momentarily forgotten.

Jordan had many ways to make Sofia smile. With silly behavior and all sorts of funny stories.

Sofia and Jordan sit in the grass near a tree to tie a horse. They saw the same place, which was a lake with calm water.

"Jordan!"

Suddenly Jordan surprises Sofia. Jordan lowered her body then spread her head on Sofia's lap.

"I'm sad today Sofia. You should cheer me up. Because you're my friend." Jordan's voice changed.

Jordan who a moment ago looked cheerful now sighed. Weakened shoulders. Sofia could see it from above. Their eyes locked on each other.

"Did something happen?"

Jordan nodded.

"Today is the anniversary of my parents' death."

Sofia fell silent. His hand stroked Jordan's messy hair.

"There should be a ceremony now, right? Why is Jordan here."

"I never did it."

Jordan's face became gloomy. Sofia's heart was pinched. The always fiery Jordan in front of him now dimmed. All the lights on his face disappeared. The death of her parents must have made her sad.

"I'll cheer up Jordan. Jordan wants me how?"

"I'm sleepy Sofia. Last night I couldn't sleep and I was waiting early in the morning for you outside the palace."

"Jordan can sleep for a while. I'll take care of Jordan."

Sofia stroked her forehead, cheeks then Jordan's hair. He looked at Jordan's eyes that were gradually closing. Jordan's breathing became slow and regular. Angir's banging on Jordan's hair.

Sofia observed Jordan's sleeping face flashing. I don't know why his heart is beating so fast. A foreign state plagued his body.

"Good night Jordan." Sofia whispered softly into Jordan's ear.

From a distance, without Sofia realizing it, a pair of eyes sitting on a gallant black horse were watching them.
