The queen was having a good tea time alone while watching the fish in the pond. Then all of a sudden, Athena arrived with a cart of cookies and slices of cake."Come, join me over a cup of tea, Athena." The queen smiled and pointed to the chair opposite hers."Madam, I can't, the maids are already jealous of how you were treating me."The queen sighed and did not force her to wish to casually talk with her favorite maid. If she were to keep openly showing her favoritism, the daughter of other nobles, who were working as reserved lady-in-waiting would throw a fit at Athena."I see. Shopping with the king made a positive impact. Shouldn't you go out with the king more often?" Athena asked while pouring another cup of tea for her ladyship."Well, I am not allowed to leave again.""Aren't you lonely here, madam?" says Athena. Little did they know the King happened to sleep in one of the huge trees nearby where the queen and maid were. He did not want to eavesdrop, but his body wouldn't m
"Madam, what are you doing? Shouldn't you be preparing for your trip?" Aileen asked, following the queen while holding a basket of tencha, a green leaf that has not been powderized yet."I'm making tea for the king," she replied."Good morning, Queen Schereziel.""Morning. Can someone powderize these leaves? I want to make tea for the king using those leaves.""I'm afraid to inform you, but his excellency hates green tea," says one of the cooks. "Is that so?" The queen had no idea that Viishaun hated it since green tea had never been served on the table. Now, she has an idea why such flavor is never served. "The king was furious when we served him a green tea once. He warned us not to serve him such poisonous beverage."'Poisonous? Tsk! Uncultured swine,' says a voice in Aileen's thought. "Then... we'll drink it then. I miss drinking matcha coffee. Ever since I came here, I haven't had it again. Now, I miss my convenient life... there are no starb*cks here."Everyone thought that t
The queen excitedly ran into the shore as their carriage arrived at a private portion of the beach. The king shook his head and watched the lady going back and forth, playing with the waves."Put our luggage in the Deryung palace," says the king. It was a palace built for the royal family, and only royal lineage was given the right to stay there. Viishaun was surprised to see when Aileen removed her gown, leaving only her undergarment.He removed his cape and immediately wrapped his wife's body. He glared at the marquises, whose jaws dropped as the hourglass figure of the queen was exposed next to their eyes."Do you want me to pluck your eyes? Turn around!"The marquises stood straight and faced the other direction."What do you think you are doing? Displaying your body like that?""Huh? Who would swim wearing a gown? This is a two-piece... T-W-O P-I-E-C-E!""I don't care if it's two... three or whatever. Put something... thin layer.""You, go get her a thin gown."The Queen rolled
Panting to breathe and covered with blood, the king rushed to the palace after the expedition. "Get me a new set of clothes. I can't let the queen see me in this horrifying state," says Viishaun as he removes his bloody cape and hands it over to one of the servants."Y-Your excellency, I'm afraid to inform you, but madam is nowhere to be found.""What do you mean?!""We have searched the entire palace and every building, but none of us saw the queen."Viishaun has forsaken the thought of cleansing his body and focused on finding his wife. He kept looking for Aileen, but there was no trace of her. He heard a voice calling him. Hence Viishaun followed it until he arrived at a forest and found the lady with moonstone eyes glowing, but what caught his attention was the blood flowing from the queen's stomach."I love you, Viishaun. Farewell, my love. I will cherish the moment I spent with you even if we no longer share the same world," says the queen as she coughed blood. Then her body f
"You looked stressed two days in a row. What's wrong, gentleman?" The butler asked the secretary as he sat next to the poor guy who was busy holding tons of papers."Butler Arthur, have you seen the queen?""The queen? Is his excellency still looking for her?" The butler sighed and lifted his gaze to meet the sun. He added, "Are they fighting? The queen slept in a different room, and the king was busy being hot and cold toward the madam. What exactly is happening between them?""I don't know what to do with this work since the king is disappearing from place to place. His excellency has been dismissing his royal duty to find the queen.""Exactly. Anyway, the last time I saw the queen was at the fountain. I think they're on good terms this time since the queen was splashing water with the king."The two stood up and went to the fountain. The secretary was about to call Viishaun. However, the two fought again. "Why can't I go outside? I thought you said it's fine as long as I have your
"Huh?" The queen asked in doubt of Viishaun's statement.The king crossed his arms and raised one of his eyebrows, "What's with that reaction?""Could you repeat it? Had my ears played a trick on me? Do you really think she would accept me as her daughter-in-law?""I may have no idea what my mother is truly like, but I believe she's a person who does not judge a person. Butler Arthur and my lad-in-waiting, his wife who used to work with my mother before always talk about what kind of person she is. Judging from the qualities they said the royal consort possessed, she prefers a simple, innocent, and domesticated woman like you.""What? Am I an animal? Tsk! You're so annoying."The king smirked and hid his sly smile while looking at the grumpy look on his wife. "Anyway, what brings you here, grumpy cat?""I decided to roam around since a certain someone locked me in the palace," she replied, still giving a grumpy expression. "How about you? What brings you here?" she added.The king loo
Dressed in a flame red, the queen went to a jewelry boutique. Then, all of a sudden, Aileen heard a familiar mocking tone from a lady whom the queen had an idea who it might be. "Greetings, Queen of Western Allandis." Princess Vermillion bowed her head, leaving a gaze of a slick fox. "It's nice seeing you, lady Vermillion," the queen replied with a dignified look. 'This woman's smug look is irritating, and I think she's up for trouble,' says a voice inside the queen's head as she returned the favor of smiling. "Fancy meeting the honorable queen in this boutique I often visit. Does the queen like this spot too?" Princess Elvira asked. The queen giggled and replied, "I don't know yet since this is my second time." "If you don't mind, I wish you go out more often like you did today, your majesty. I am simply concerned about your social life. The people will misunderstand your presence," Princess Elvira replied. "What sort of misunderstanding, perhaps?" "Are you sure you want to
Although, Aileen managed to hide from the public when she attended twice of her husband's birthday celebrations held in the private palace of the empire with only the royal family, a few aristocrats, and a noble family as guests. Also, during those times, she was in 'illness' mode. Thus the guest did not look for her. She doubted it would be possible this time. It would be impossible to avoid such important events because few aristocrats had known she was not ill anymore. Besides, the party this time will be held in the imperial palace as the emperor's wish.Unlike other noble ladies, the queen need not go to extensive training for her psychic and etiquette since her ladyship had a dignified posture, which she earned from her modeling car back in her original world. The problem arises with her vulgar mouth and way of wearing clothes because she kept going against the standard of 'respectable clothes' for a lady. "Madam, are you truly going to wear this gown?" says Athena while holdin
