The Evil Empress Adores Me-Chapter 34

Eight o'clock in the evening.

I couldn't hide my complicated feelings, and I stared at the vast bed spread out before me.

"Come here, Charles."

The Empress called me in a lively voice.

Oh, what should I do?

The Empress really seemed sincere.

"Uh, Your Majesty."

I opened my mouth carefully.

At that call, the Empress who had brought me here made a sad expression.

"Not Your Majesty, Sister Rose."

I just rolled my eyes.

Of course, I have called the Empress 'Sister Rose' and flirted with her a few times when necessary.

But isn't it a bit difficult to get used to the title 'Sister Rose'?

No matter what, she's the Empress... ... !

"Right now, for some reason, I want to be called Sister Rose."

“Yes, Sister Rose.”

However, despite my intense internal conflict, the title ‘Sister Rose’ came out of my mouth right away.

This, this is an inevitable problem.

Right? I’m an idiot!

How can I firmly carry out my will when the Empress is looking at me with such innocent and pitiful eyes?!

I can’t do it! My will is softer than the strawberries I ate last night!

Only then did the Empress nod with a satisfied expression.

“Yes, why is that?”

“That’s the maid, and Sister Rose, Your Majesty the Empress?”

I glanced at the Empress’s gorgeous bed.

A fluffy blanket like a cloud, a mattress wider than a garden if you add a little exaggeration.

It seems too much for a mere maid to lie down on... ... .

I continued speaking carefully.

“I learned that it is against etiquette for a maid to sleep with Her Majesty the Empress... ... .”

But I couldn’t finish my sentence.

As soon as I started speaking, the Empress slumped her shoulders.

Her eyes, as fresh as new green, stared at me longingly.

Ugh, that kind of gaze is against the rules.

“But I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep at all without Charles.”

A gloomy voice was heard.

The Empress didn’t hide her sullen face, and added sharply.

“What if I break etiquette a little?”

“Um, but... ... .”

“We don’t sleep together every day, and today is the first time, after all.”

At those sharp words, I swallowed a sigh that was about to burst out.

Your Majesty the Empress.

In the first place, I think I’m the only maid in the whole world who sleeps in the same bed as the Empress... ... .

I shut my eyes tightly.

“Isn’t it true, His Majesty the Emperor came to the Empress’s palace today?”

“Yes, why?”

“But you should just go and... ... sleep with His Majesty the Empress?”

“We’re using separate palaces anyway, so... ... sharing the same bed would only make both of us uncomfortable.”

The Empress’s expression when she said ‘His Majesty the Emperor’ was simply indifferent.

Watching the Empress like that, I suddenly thought of the Empress’s appearance in the original work.

‘The Empress’s intense possessiveness towards the Emperor caused her to kill all the women who got entangled with the Emperor.’

... ... Hmm, the gap between reality and the original work is incredible?

I glanced at the Empress who was tidying my hair.

When our eyes met, the Empress smiled.

“I like Charles better than His Majesty the Emperor, after all.”

Wow, wow.

The Empress herself said that she likes me better than the Emperor.

Should I be happy about this overflowing favor, or should I say nothing?

“Listen. The maids’ duty is to assist the Empress well, right?”

The Empress looked back at me with a bright expression like sunlight, as if she had come up with something to persuade me.

“Charles, do you know that I usually have trouble sleeping?”

“Yes, Majaye. That’s why I often drank medicinal tea in the past.”

I heard from the head maid.

The Empress is very sensitive to sleep, so she used to drink medicinal tea that was said to help her sleep.

But since I came to the Empress's Palace, I've never seen the Empress drink tea... ... .

I tilted my head.

The Empress added confidently.

"But I don't think I'll lose sleep when I sleep with Charles."

"... ... Yes?"

"That means that Charles is already helping me very well. Isn't that right?"

It was an incredible sophistry, but the problem was that the Empress who said it was so pretty.

Oh, the world is all about being pretty.

I had to work very hard not to be captivated by the Empress's beauty.

Think about it.

The Empress, who was definitely one of the most beautiful women in this world, looking at me with her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttering.

How could I refuse in such a situation?

At least, I, a fool, couldn't!

“More than that, I guess our Charles isn’t sleeping well today.”

“Um, that’s... ... .”

“You’re worrying about such useless things because you can’t sleep.”

The Empress, who immediately dismissed my serious worries as ‘useless worries,’ got up and pulled the rope.

I was startled by the sight of her suddenly calling her maid, so I jumped up from the bed.

“No, if you have something to do, I’ll go and come back!”

“No, I’m calling you for you.”

The Empress shook her head as she gently laid me down on the bed.

For me?

I opened my eyes wide.

“I heard that warm milk is good for sleep, right?”

“I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about it... ... .”

“This will make my heart feel better.”

The Empress, who said that, lifted me up in her arms.

She laid me down on the bed and covered me with a blanket.

“Charle likes sweet things, so I’ll add a spoonful of honey.”

“Huh, Empress, no, Sister Rose.”

“Of course, you shouldn’t forget to brush your teeth before going to bed, right?”

At that answer, I blushed without realizing it.

The Empress’s smile toward me was much sweeter than milk mixed with honey.

The Empress patted my body covered with the blanket.

At that moment, I gained some courage.

“... ... Sister Rose.”

“Huh?”

“Every time... ... I really, really appreciate it.”

I whispered with all my heart.

To be honest, I feel embarrassed, but it would be hard to convey my feelings to the Empress if not now.

The Empress, who heard my whisper, closed her eyes gently.

“I am always grateful to Charles, too.”

If Charles had not been by my side, I would have been so lonely in this vast palace.

The Empress hugged me tightly with both arms.

I shamelessly dug into the Empress’s embrace and smiled happily.

‘It’s warm.’

I wanted to continue living like this.

The relationship between the Empress and Diamide had improved, and the Emperor had no interest in me at all.

Until then, I had believed without a doubt that everything was going well.

A few days later, when summer was fast approaching.

That is, until Diamide suddenly collapsed.

Early summer had passed, and now it was full-blown summer.

I was walking on the road to the Crown Prince’s Palace, carrying a cloth bag full of food.

I’ve been going back and forth to the Crown Prince’s Palace so many times that I’ve become as familiar with it as the Empress’s Palace.

“Wow, it finally feels like a place where people live.”

I looked around the Crown Prince’s Palace with a pleased face as I entered.

Since the Empress herself announced that she would take charge of Diamid, the Crown Prince’s Palace has become much cleaner.

I cleared away all the weeds growing in the garden and fixed the broken facilities.

I like how the eerie atmosphere that made it seem like a ghost would appear has completely disappeared.

‘But... ... .’

Then I tilted my head.

It was because I couldn’t see Diamid.

Usually, she would wait outside when I visited, but what’s going on?

I decided to go into the Crown Prince’s Palace first.

“Crown Prince, me?”

Only a strange feeling was lingering inside the Crown Prince’s Palace.

Hmm, what on earth is going on?

I looked around, and looked around every corner.

The kitchen, living room, multipurpose ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) room...

I searched all the places where Diamid frequented, but Diamid was not there.

So in the end, there was only one place left.

‘Diamide’s bedroom.’

Of course, I know that the bedroom is a private and sensitive place.

But Diamid is nowhere to be seen.

In this situation, would you get mad just because I went into the bedroom once?

Diamide, I didn’t raise you like that!

While rationalizing myself like that, I passed the living room and went inside.

I could see Diamid’s bedroom in the distance.

The door was firmly shut.

I took a deep breath and raised my hand.

Knock.

I knocked a couple of times, but there was no answer.

“Crown Prince, me?”

I called him in a dubious voice.

Strange, there is no place else for Diamid.

After hesitating for a moment, I finally put my hand on the doorknob.

Squeak.

The door opened with an unpleasant noise.

Thank goodness the door was unlocked.

The room with the curtains down was dark.

I stepped into the room.

“Crown Prince, come here.”

When I looked toward the bed, I saw the blankets rolled up into a ball.

It looked like a person was lying curled up.

Could that person be Diamid?

I narrowed my eyebrows and approached the bed.

“Gyah!”

At the same time, I let out a short scream.

The hand that suddenly reached out grabbed me by the collar.

The sharp, crimson eyes glared at me in the darkness.

What, what is it?

Diamide, why on earth are you doing this?

After a while, a voice that sounded like a beast's growl rang out.

"Who is it?"
