The Happy Ending Love Story

The Empress Crown #29

"Yes? Jordan doesn't think everyone will know if we get married? There'll be rumors coming up if I come with Jordan."

"Huh Sofia.." Jordan took a breath.

'Only you are a person who does not know if the marriage has spread as fast as the speed of light.'

"Our marriage though not yet officially announced because we have not yet held a ceremony, rumors have already spread throughout the Elderbar."

"What?" Sofia shouted then reflexively covered her mouth with both hands.

"There are many eyes and mouths inside the palace. I can't close all those eyes and mouth."

"But I've never heard of it, not even from the servants."

'Thank God. Your watchful activities save you.' Jordan said in his heart.

Thin smile on her back. Minimal light in the room can disguise it.

"They are Sofia's chosen ones. They wouldn't dare to carelessly open their mouths."

"Then how is this Jordan? Rumors must be big."

Jordan nodded.

"Are you worried?"

"of course. Rumors are always ugly. Jordan's gonna be made fun of."

"Rumors aren't always so ugly Sofia."

"You will surely be harmed. How's this.." Sofia's voice was agitated.

It was funny to see that confident face become panicked. The delicate beauty emitted did not even sink into the darkness of the night. The woman shines in her own way. It is regretful not seeing him for these fourteen days.

Jordan then gets accused beside Sofia.

"Sofia don't worry." His voice sounded like a whisper. Jordan holds Tanhan Sofia.

The hand was shaking finely. How smooth the skin is. Very small and fragile. A little strength could destroy him.

"But Jordan.."

"Trust me, it won't matter even if the rumor goes around."

"I'm not worried about myself."

"Then?" Jordan's forehead frowned.

"I'm worried about you."

"What?"

"How can Jordan meet the woman you love if these marriage rumors spread. They must've thought Jordan was a married man, or.." Sofia hesitated for a moment. "I don't mind Jordan having a relationship behind me, as long as Jordan says it first. If Jordan's been steady with him Jordan can divorce me."

Very smooth and painful.

"Sophia.." Jordan's voice is low. The sound of shaking almost seemed to cry. Unfortunately Sofia could not notice.

"Am I the one in your head who can do that?"

"Yes? Mean you?"

"Fraud behind wife."

"Huh?" Sofia was shocked. That's not what it means. He could do it if his wife was him.

"I'm sorry I don't mean that. I believe Jordan is the one in charge. I was just thinking about the possibility that would happen."

"Don't think about it."

Matq Sofia blinked. He opened his mouth but closed it again. Doubtful about his words.

"Just think of me as what Sofia thinks. Don't think about what will happen next. If we get married now and you are my wife. Then I will be responsible until the end."

"But Jordan I just.."

"Sofia, let's not talk about this hmm? There's more important than this."

Sofia pondered a little and then opened her mouth.

"All right, what is it? Something important?"

Jordan undergird. Her hand still held Sofia's hand. I feel comfortable and want to be forever.

"The empress' coronation party."

Sofia was silent. Waiting for Jordan's next words.

"It seems that it's inevitable. Presenting him I mean. It won't be long for an official invitation letter to come. We are a couple who have been acknowledged in Elderbar and I am the closest brother of the current emperor hence I must be present. That means.."

"Yes?"

"You as my wife and my companion must also be present."

If there's a hole in the floor, it's like Sofia's coming in and hiding. He wants to run. Rejecting the reality of the moment.

"Can't I.."

"Not present?"

Sofia nodded.

"That can." The answer Sofia wanted was actually. But seeing Jordan's disappointed emotions pinched his heart.

"Is that a big party?" Sofia rearranges her feelings. When compared to what Jordan did for her, attending the party was far from half the trip. A fair price to pay Sofia for Jordan.

"There will be two separate parties. Coronation ceremonies and small parties for special invited guests, and celebration parties in the evening. A party at night would be a masquerade party. The nobles will be present from all over Elderbar."

Sofia gulped down her saliva hearing the scale of the party not playing around. Two events at once in one day. He tried to remember Janetta's coronation ceremony first. But there is no memory. Her nightmare had not come to sleep for a long time. After living in the Jordan mansion, Sofia's sleep was always restful. The fear of the future in his dreams faded like foam in the ocean.

"It will be hard to be at two parties at once." Sofia slowly.

"Is Sofia willing to attend?"

Sofia nodded slowly.

"Jordan said he had to attend. I am currently Jordan's wife."

"But Sofia doesn't have to attend."

Sofia's confused. Did he misrepresent. It seems like he caught the feeling that Jordan wanted him to attend. But when he said yes, he said no.

"I mean Jordan?"

"If Sofia feels burdened you don't have to attend. Sofia is more important. Sofia might get hurt."

"There's Jordan beside me, isn't he? Jordan will definitely protect me as usual, right? Why should I be hurt? Is it because of the rumors and the talk of the people? I don't care."

"Really?"

Sofia nodded with a faint smile. Convince Jordan that he will be fine even though he himself is also afraid. Don't know what's going to happen with her appearance at the party.

"Sofia couldn't pull her words anymore. Of course I'll protect you. You're the only high-ranking woman there, so take it easy." Jordan patted Sofia's hand slowly.

How happy his heart is. Finally he did not have to hide any more to Sofia. Although they were married without ceremony and faithful promises, the legalized marriage documents made him a married couple. It didn't matter if Sofia didn't love him, having her by his side was enough to comfort his heart.

She just needs to hang on and get tight when Sofia talks about divorce. Is not defending one of the strategies of defending on the battlefield, rather than charging with ignorance about the opponent. Jordan would quietly wait for him to let his guard down, then look for a solution to break the opponent's defense. One time to defeat the enemy.

Such a strategy ties Sofia into marriage. Hold on, wait and then attack. It's worked so far.

"But Jordan.."

"Yes?"

Jordan's nervous. Afraid of Sofia changing her mind. The feeling of showing her ownership of Sofia to the public is threatened.

"What about Madame Fox's dress?"

"You can choose it. Tomorrow I'll have him come again."

"Not that. I can wear the dress."

"No way Sofia. You are Duchess Hexalios you deserve it."

"But it's overkill."

"No. You can use as much money as you want. Remember Sofia, your husband is rich."

Sofia's eyes almost popped out. Who in this world who is confident says he is rich and wants his money spent except Jordan.

"Don't make no sense!" Snapped Sofia with pouting lips.

"Let me take care of everything."

Sofia nodded.

"I honestly don't know what to do with Madame Fox. I was surprised and confused. So I said it to ask you. Your choice is my choice." I'm Sofia.

"A good idea. I'll take care of everything. You can just stand next to me at the party. Don't worry."

"Good."

Jordan escorted Sofia back to her room after a little chat. Jordan tells about the work in the palace and Sofia tells about the beauty of the park and its daily life. Despite getting daily reports about his routine, Jordan is excited to hear it directly from Sofia.

Their merrily laughter and conversation filled the desolate atmosphere in the usually desolate space. Their familiarity marks a reconciliation of misunderstood relationships.

Today ends with Jordan's orders to the butler.

"Tell Madame Fox if anything Sofia sees today should be accepted. Whatever and whatever, it doesn't matter the price. Sofia should be the most beautiful woman at the coronation ceremony in ten days. If he says he can't, break up with him. The Hexalios family is enough people to be personal fashion designers."

"Your Majesty."
