The Happy Ending Love Story

The Empress Crown #25

Clack

Door closes. Jordan's body is slumping. His ears and back of his neck were colored red. His two faces were covered by his two large hands.

The memory of his actions just now made his heart beat. Their lips touched. The little pink lips distracted her. He was like a thirsty wild beast as soon as he saw his twitching lips. Looks cute and exciting.

Finally the control cord was cut off. Jordan, who has since disliked the call for him, obeys his animal instincts.

It couldn't even be categorized as a kiss because their lips only stuck to a glance.

Jordan praised his courage. He immediately got up and adjusted his emotions.

Crazy one!

***

Jordan did not keep his promise.

Everything just went back down. It had been a week since he had last seen the trunk of his nose. Proudly showing their wedding documents.

At night Sofia could not sleep, thinking about what would happen tomorrow. After all they had been married, even though it was a wedding on paper, there should at least be a celebration or something like that.

As soon as he opened his eyes tomorrow morning, and a week later, nothing happened. Even Jordan wasn't in the mansion. Only the servants and servants took care of him.

'Huh!' Sofia sighed.

'What do I really expect? It's just a pretend marriage. You expect too much Sofia.' Finally Sofia dipped her face into the blanket and then went to sleep. That was the mantra he repeated every night to temper his anxiety.

This marriage is just pretending. She's not the real Duchess Hexalios. Jordan and Sofia are just regular friends. When the situation is safe enough, when Janetta is appointed empress, they will part in a good way.

On the tenth day, the atmosphere in the mansion changed slightly. Every time Sofia walked over, everyone paid their respects to her, not least the knights.

Sofia had a small habit during her stay at the Hexalios mansion, every morning she liked to enjoy tea in the back palace. Spacious garden with a variety of colors unfolded. There was a small building near the fountain that she used to sip warm tea, some snacks, and read books. Spent his time in the mansion slowly. Sofia is not as active as other noble women who might be decorating themselves or running in a party.

Their looks and respect were somewhat different. If they don't hear wrong, they replace the word "Miss" with "Mrs" as soon as they say hello to Sofia. Not as usual.

Sofia asked.

'What's going on? I have to ask Rona and Ema.'

As soon as the tea table was neatly laid out, Sofia immediately pulled Rona and Ema to stay.

"Some thing I want to ask you."

"Yes, Madam, please ask anything."

Sofia's forehead shriveling. They also look strange.

"Did something happen in the mansion?"

"I'm sorry?"

"Jor, I mean Duke has he returned to the mansion?"

This is the question that Sofia had been damning in her heart. He didn't ask anyone what Jordan was doing, where he was and when he came home. Sofia feels unworthy.

But this time he could not hold it anymore.

"Duke hasn't returned since ten days ago, I heard from the butler that His Majesty is currently in the palace."

"Well.." Sofia paused for a moment. "Why did you change this morning?"

"You mean?" Rona and Ema's voice was somehow very polite and well-organized. They are familiar and not very formal.

"Mrs, every time I meet people they call me that, you guys too. What the hell's going on? Don't try to hide it!" Sofia's voice was firm.

There was a moment of silence. One of Sofia's loyal servants opens her mouth, she is Ema.

"Congratulations on your marriage to His Highness the Duke."

"Huh?"

Sofia's eyes were perfectly rounded. From where they knew, when he and Jordan were discussing this matter there was not a single servant near them. After all, according to Sofia, Jordan immediately left the mansion once her affairs were done with her. So Sofia remained silent. Expanding his conversation with Jordan, it was not wise.

"I think it's because of this that all the servants and knights changed your calling. We're the same, it can't be presumptuous."

"Where do you know?"

"Knight Commander, Sir White told us."

"Tell me more." Desperate Sofia.

Around late at night, Charlie White as the knight commander suddenly returned to the mansion without a word. Soon after that he accompanied Alfons, gathering everyone in the mansion except Sofia.

He carried a document in his hand. Open the rope and read it. Subsequently relayed some orders from Duke Jordan Hexalios.

Everyone in the Hexalios mansion knew except Sofia who was sleeping soundly under the warm blanket.

Sofia blinked her eyes a few times.

"So everyone in the mansion already knows about your marriage." That's the ending of Rona and Ema's story.

There is no agreement between Sofia and Jordan about keeping it a secret. Because Jordan just left last time. It makes sense that word of their marriage spread.

It's just that Sofia never imagined any of this happening.

Increasingly clueless and affirming the feeling of being neglected, on the fourteenth day Jordan did not return to the mansion, Sofia found her own reality.

Waking up in the middle of the night after a long dream, he met Felix in the dream. Sofia can't go back to sleep. Sofia got up then opened the window to breathe air. It was around midnight and almost early in the morning. Illuminated only by moonlight and skimpy lights, the faintest gate of the mansion opened and a carriage slowed in.

Sofia's heart grimaced. A large carriage with a high Hexalios emblem was revealed. Sofia's body shrank.

Is Jordan finally home?

A strange feeling enveloped Sofia. After arranging those complicated feelings, Sofia was finally at the conclusion when the train stopped right in front of the mansion, she missed Jordan. The emptiness that had consumed him fourteen days ago seemed to fill up all of a sudden.

Maybe he wasn't ignored, Jordan must have been very busy. It was because he was fighting hard to help her.

The urge to meet him surged. Sofia picked up the shawl and ran towards the door.

The hallway looked empty. Sofia rushed to the stairs to get down. From above it looks like the first floor does not look quiet compared to the second floor.

Slowly but surely Sofia went down the stairs. A low boisterous voice sounded. There were several maids who welcomed Jordan's return, including the maid's maid.

Most of them were male servants. Jordan, Alfons, and Charlie were standing at the door. Jordan took off his coat then a voice sounded.

"How are you?"

Sofia stopped her steps. He had already reached the last step before his feet touched the floor. His body was not revealed as there were two huge pillars in front of the stairs. Sofia slowly approached the pillars and noticed them.

"Mrs is fine, Your Majesty." The butler replied.

"Nothing suspicious? No questions of any kind?"

The butler clearly shook his head.

"Report."

There's a quiet sejanak.

"Today as usual Madam spent time in the garden to read and see the flowers. After dinner the Madam went into the bedroom and didn't come out."

Jordan nodded.

"As usual tomorrow I'll be out early, make sure not to make a fuss and wake Sofia up."

"Your Majesty."

"Call designers and jewelry stores to the mansion, Sofia is entitled to the luxury of being Duchess Hexalios. Make sure Sofia chooses whatever she wants. You can answer anything if he asks me."

"Your Majesty."

The voice of the servant echoed in the quiet living room.

Sofia's body sank as Jordan and the servants left the room. Sofia's eyes could not be seen in the direction they were going. That's Jordan's room. They looked natural, unlike welcoming their master who had been outside for fourteen days.

Jordan was hiding something from him. The heart that warmed for a moment now hardened.

Heh.

A small laugh came out from Sofia's lips.

"As usual tomorrow I'll be out early, make sure not to make a fuss and wake Sofia up."

Sofia you are indeed ignored. Jordan always went home to the mansion. He just doesn't want to see me.

The harsh reality hit Sofia. His whole body was shaking. He's too confident.
