The Happy Ending Love Story

The Empress Crown #19

There's only darkness.

Can't estimate the time. I could hear nothing but silence.

Sofia was sprawled weakly on the floor with her legs tied. The movement was minimal due to the chains on his legs. There was no water or anything to wet his dry throat.

His body was weak and numb.

"Water." His voice barely came out, hoarse and pitiful.

Her cheeks were wet with tears. The crying that is no longer heard. Even by his own ears.

In the darkness Sofia kept dreaming.

Janetta was sitting in a garden with a big belly. Alex comes with a blanket and puts it on Janetta's shoulder. A kiss became the great gift of their love.

Janetta laughed softly in Alex's arms. Suddenly the laughter disappeared as Janetta held onto her stomach with a pale face. Looks like she's about to give birth.

Sofia looked at them right in front of her eyes. But they can't see Sofia. Because it's a dream. Reality and fantasy are indistinguishable.

Suddenly the cry of the baby was heard. Sofia's looking for the source of the sound. Arrive at the familiar high wooden door. It was the emperor's room door.

Sofia pushed the door carefully. His eyes peeked. A two-man chat was heard.

"Baby girl."

"Please immediately get rid of and shut up everyone who helped deliver."

"Your Majesty."

Sofia was surprised then closed the door. A servant came out with a baby wrapped in a white cloth in his arms.

The maid again did not see Sofia even though she was at the door. Sofia ventured to open the door and enter. Approaching Alex who looks to calm Janetta down.

There's nothing Sofia's afraid of. They could not see him, because this was his dream.

"But that's our son."

"No Jeni, that child will be your hospitality. Only a prince can be born. If the nobles find out, this will be used as a weapon to block our path."

"Then how?"

"I'm going to announce that the baby wasn't breathing when you gave birth to it."

"You sure?"

"I will use that woman to give birth to the prince. You just need to recuperate as quickly as possible and be ready to conceive the prince again."

Sofia covered her mouth with both hands. It turns out there was something like this. Perhaps because his life was estranged in the backmost palace, he knew nothing. Even when the emperor came to sleep with her, all Sofia felt was pleasure. The emperor finally saw it.

It turns out there are other variables. Janetta is not pregnant yet, because Sofia changed her life. Other people's lives have changed too.

Slowly Sofia opened her eyes. Tears wet his cheeks.

"Felix."

He closed his eyes again. It's not much different when you open your eyes, there's only darkness.

Sofia had a dream again.

This time he saw himself. Smiled meaningfully while stroking his large belly. Sofia was goosebumps, her body trembling.

"Felix"

The blue face without the life of a teenager of responsibility flashed quickly in his eyes. It was Felix. The boy Alex took away shortly after she gave birth to him. Even Sofia could not see his face because it was too weak. Ironically, Sofia was only allowed to see her when the boy died.

Sofia's tears rolled back down her cheeks. He wants to wake up from his dream. Wanted out of the darkness that enveloped him.

Was this the punishment of a god for daring to defy the will of the emperor. But Sofia did not want to conceive the emperor's child. If in the end the child fared like Felix in his dream, Sofia would be willing to replace him.

"Sophy."

I heard someone call him.

"Sophy."

The sound is approaching. Although weak, Sofia's hearing senses were not blunt.

Sofia opened her eyes. He was too weak to open his mouth. His throat is sore .

A light filled the dark place. His eyes, accustomed to the darkness, were slow to adjust to the sudden rays, and it took some time before he could see.

Sofia.

There was a figure standing, towering behind the dazzling light of the eyes. Her legs approached and split the light that Sofia had been unable to eliminate.

"Sophy."

Sofia knows. The voice he had longed for. Her tears are spilling. This is all that can be done. His throat was blocked by dryness without water. His voice did not come out.

A large hand grabbed onto Sofia's weak body on the floor. Cuddle up and embrace him. The iron chains that tied Sofia's legs rattled. His voice is heartbreaking.

"Sofia everything will be fine."

"Jordan."

Suddenly everything went dark. Sofia lost consciousness.

The petals with their long, pliable eyelashes move. Slowly open.

"God. Miss sausar. Call the doctor immediately."

Sofia blinked a few times. Trying to adjust the vision with sudden brilliance. The days he spent in the dark. Like falling to the bottom of a deep abyss. Sofia did not care about the noise beside her. Sofia focused on staring at the high ceiling with the luxurious chandelier.

"Water." Even his voice barely came out. Sofia raised her hand into the air.

"Drink."

Sofia closed her eyes as a cold sensation flowed down her entire throat.

Tastes fresh. Sofia's eyes were fully open. Like being revived from death. He could see Jordan's face.

"Jordan." Sofia said.

Jordan's lips formed a thin smile line. Her hands tidied up Sofia's messy hair and were soaked in sweat.

"How are you feeling?"

Sofia's eyes blinked. Last night was no dream. The water that passed through his dry throat was a reality. The figure of Jordan he saw was also not an illusion. Suddenly a sense of tightness filled Sofia's chest. Her tears threatened to come out.

Complicated emotions. His feelings are mixed. There were many things he wanted to say but his throat was too sore and his voice was weak. Finally, tears are the only way to deny how sad things are.

Sofia crying. Her tears are spilling.

Jordan pulled her body and hugged her. He stroked his back while whispering.

"cry. I'm by your side."

Sofia's crying became more and more. Like I've never cried before. Sofia pours out all the flavors she craves. Crying a lot.

Jordan sat pensively observing Sofia's sleeping face. Every inch of the eyes, nose, and lips. Her hand stroked Sofia's soft cheeks.

The door opened and the doctor came in.

"Greetings Your Majesty, the doctor has come."

"Yes let it in."

Jordan got up from his chair then received a respectful greeting from the two neatly dressed people with the box bag in their hands.

Without any orders, the two men immediately approached Sofia and examined her.

"How is he doing?" Jordan stayed behind and observed the doctor who was examining Sofia.

"Not too bad, Your Majesty. Miss is critically dehydrated. He needs a lot of rest to recover. But there's something a little bad."

"What's that?"

The doctor pulled out a blanket that covered Sofia's legs. He showed a terrible wound on his right leg. Although it had been cleaned and wrapped in bandages, the white bandage was stained with blood.

Jordan grimacing.

"For a time Miss was not allowed to move her legs. As a result of the iron chains that bound him for so long, it seemed like the bond injured his leg and was deep enough. Then his bones cracked a little like they fell."

Jordan's face hardened. Looking at the white skin contrasting with the wound on the ankle, Jordan's anger almost exploded.

"We'll focus the treatment here, Your Majesty."

"Do whatever. Anything that can cure him."

"Your Majesty."

"Cure the wound without leaving a mark. Whatever cost. Although it had to look for a cure at the end of the continent."
