Chapter 19

I watched the horses exit the stables and asked the stableman next to me, “Elizab-, Her Majesty has arrived?”



“Yes,” answered he stableman, with a nod .

Freya dismounted before I did . I scrubbed the White Deer King’s face . It looked at me somewhat angrily, and then snorted . It looked toward the group of horses and frowned . I smiled and stroked its head: “Put up with it for now . I know that you don’t want to continue staying with a group of horses when you’re a King, but just put up with it for now . White Deer King, I’ll make you a stable, I mean, a deer stable once things have settled down . ”

The White Deer King snorted before turning its head away . Freya bounced around then I turned to see Tanya dismount . I deliberately walked at a slower pace to allow Tanya to follow behind me . Somewhat puzzled, Tanya looked at me and asked, “Your Majesty, why are you deliberately walking slowly?”

“Because I know that your legs are definitely uncomfortable right now . ”

I scrubbed Tanya’s head . Tanya blushed . She then grabbed onto a corner of my cape . I turned around and quietly told her, “Remember, do not act this way in front of Mommy Elizabeth . Mommy Elizabeth is different to Mommy Vyvyan . Mommy Vyvyan is fine with overlooking some formalities . Mommy Elizabeth, on the other hand, places an importance on formalities and politeness . If you behave rudely in any way in her presence, she will be very mad, because it’s a type of insult to her power as royalty . ”

Tanya nodded, and then gave me a smile . I rubbed her small head: “Don’t come in first . Stay at the door . Mommy Elizabeth won’t want to be disturbed by anybody when she meets me again . ”



Tanya nodded: “All right . ”

I turned and let a group to the entrance of my own Imperial Palace . The Imperial Palace was my most blissful home at this point . My moms and wives were about to give birth in the Imperial Palace .

“My son is coming! My son is coming in! Hurry! Hurry!!”

Elizabeth tightly gripped the flower in her hand . She played with the long, thin and curved flower with her fingers . The white and pink flower released its scent into the air . It reflected the nervous and eager look of the beauty . Her white face contained a tinge of pink as though she was shy . The ladies-in-waiting kept busy around her, helping her with her makeup and adjusting her beautiful hair .

Elizabeth nervously checked herself in the mirror . She checked to see if she had any wrinkles on her beautiful face . She checked her clothes . Honestly, she didn’t sleep well last night, for she couldn’t decide what to wear to see her son .



She didn’t know why, but she was nervous in front of her son . In the past, she felt nervous, for she had never seen her son and wanted to see him . That sort of nervousness was the type where she didn’t know what to do . Nowadays, however, she was completely different . She was now considering what sort of clothes would make him happy .

“Would my son be disappointed to see me wearing a military uniform as I did before? But I’ll be the same as Nier and Lucia in this dress . The cut of this dress comes down too low . I’ll feel too shy seeing my son in this dress… So…, so what should I wear? What sort of clothes does my son like? What sort of me does my son like? Will he be pleasantly surprised to see me, like this?” wondered Elizabeth .


“All right, all right, all of you leave . Leave . Leave me in here alone . ”

They finally finished dolling her up . Elizabeth held the flower and stood up . Her long black dress touched the ground . A sea-blue sapphire hung from her neck, highlighting her white skin . Elizabeth fixed her hair in a flustered fashion . She covered her ears with her hair by her ears, but left her earlobes exposed .

She couldn’t stop pursing her lips, trying to find her best look . She was also worried that doing that would wash away her lipstick . She stroked her face and her lips . That night with the fireworks resurfaced in her mind . The truth was that she noticed herself smiling when she sometimes dreamt of that night .

She realised that she seemed to want to relive that night . She wanted a night where she’d be embraced and kissed . She wanted to become a normal woman in a man’s arm, as he treated her to his tender kiss .

She had been an Empress for too long . She had worn the mask of an Empress for too long . She hadn’t experienced that blissful and tender feeling in too long . However, she found the bliss of leaning on her husband’s chest and stargazing, as well as the shyness she felt when her husband saw her entering the bath . She found that contradictory feeling of wanting him to leave, but then also eager for him to embrace her .

That was the sentiment of being in love and the beauty of love . That was the most blissful period in her life . It didn’t last long, but it brightened up her life more than anything could . She felt that period was more blissful and breathtaking notwithstanding her being the Empress of an entire empire .

It had been a very long time, but she hadn’t searched for that feeling again . She thought she had forgotten that feeling and no longer desired it . She felt it again, though, which led to her thinking about how much she desired that feeling and how much she was willing to enjoy that sort of love .

She learnt that the feeling of love was what she desired most . The feeling of that sort of love had hit her once, and she had a desire to pursue it . She wanted to be locked in an embrace again . She wanted to be held in someone’s arms and kissed . She wanted to lean on husband or son again . The two of them were far too similar . Whether it was their faces or expressions, the warmth or the gentleness of their lips, they were too similar .

*Knock . Knock . Knock . *

“Aaahh!!” Elizabeth almost tossed the flower in her hand away . She nervously checked herself in the mirror again . She adjusted her hair and clothes, and then took in a deep breath before walking to the door .

I took in a deep breath before adjusting my collar . Honestly, I never thought I’d be so nervous to see my mom . I kind of regretted removing my cape . I felt as though I looked better with my cape .

I checked my boots .

‘They’re fine . They’re fine’ .

I was on my steed the entire time, so I didn’t have much mud on them . My appearance was acceptable . I took in another deep breath .

“Come in . ”

I heard Elizabeth’s voice I was familiar with from inside . I grabbed the door handle then looked at Tanya and made a hush gesture with my finger on my lips . I then frantically suppressed my palpitating heart and pushed the door open .

I didn’t know why I felt so nervous, either . She was just my mom, but I felt that the nervous feeling wasn’t a bad thing .
