Side Story Episode 6: Emma’s Confession

Looking at Emma’s eyes, she couldn’t bear to refuse.

“Your Majesty?”

Flora, unaware of the situation outside, called me. I spoke to Flora, who was already seated.

“Flora. I’m sorry, but can you wait a moment? It looks like Emma has something to tell me.”

“Ah. Of course.”

Flora smiled kindly.

“You said you were childhood friends with Miss Emma, right? “I haven’t seen her in a while, so I think she has a lot of things she wants to talk about.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“Instead, please come to my room today.”

“Hmm?”

Cecilia is not pregnant yet…

Flora seemed to sense what I was worried about, with a mischievous smile in her eyes.

“I do not intend to break the agreement with Her Majesty the Empress. “I just hope that His Majesty will show me a little more affection.”

“Isn’t that what it is?”

“Ichaam. “Thank you for just hugging and kissing me.”

A slight blush began to appear on Flora’s cheeks. If that’s the case, I can do whatever I want.

Because she is also my wife.

I promised her and then turned around.

“…”

Emma’s eyes were still fixed on me.

“Where should we go?”

“Well, over there.”

The place Emma pointed to was a small garden a little distance away from here.

Is the story going to be a little long?

But it’s okay because it’s been three months since I had such a deep conversation with Emma.

“Then would you like to go to the bench in the garden?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“You can talk comfortably when we’re together.”

“Well, still…”

Emma hesitates as she looks at me. In times like this, there is one way to make them listen.

“When we’re alone, you can talk like you used to. This is Hwangmyeong.”

“Hwangmyeong… “This?”

I briefly told her what her imperial name meant. It is the highest command that the emperor can give, and she must never be disobeyed.

Then Emma’s face turned pale.

“Uh, uh…”

“Say it comfortably, Emma. Because it’s Hwangmyeong.”

“Yes…”

“Is that an honorific?”

“Oh! Ugh, yes!”

The way she nods her head with her eyes wide open is cute.

We sat side by side on a bench in the garden. Perhaps because it was almost time for the sun to set, the sky was colored orange.

As I watched the sunset alone with my childhood friend, I was reminded of the time we spent together at the Nedville Estate.

“What did you call me to talk about?”

“Hmm. That is…”

Emma trailed off her words, and I cast my gaze back to her. She was wiggling her fingers with her gaze down.

It seems a bit embarrassing to talk about.

I decided to wait calmly. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for her to move her lips.

“Congratulations on your national wedding. And we had a joint wedding with the maids.”

“What. “It’s already been said during the day.”

No matter how I look at it, it seems like there is something else I want to say.

“Hmm…”

“Lou, Luke?”

As I stared at her, Emma shook her shoulders sharply, as if she was startled. Then she put her hands together and placed them on her chest.

The chest her was already quite voluminous, but when I pressed it down with my arms, it looked like it was trying to protrude to the side of her.

Why is something like this suddenly catching my eye? …

“Actually, I’m so jealous…”

Her blue eyes were filled with mystery. Eyes that seem to be desperately longing for something.

“You’re jealous?”

“…”

Emma nodded her head instead of opening her mouth. Because of that, I too was left speechless.

I can guess why Emma is jealous.

But she asked carefully, just in case.

“Emma. Just in case…”

“Luke.”

A sorrowful voice calls me.

“The last time I came to your hometown, you said you were going to have a national wedding with Her Majesty Empress Cecilia.”

“Huh. “It was like that.”

“In fact… I tried to tell you then. This heart…”

“…”

I can’t believe it was real.

Emma took a deep breath as if to steel her resolve.

“I actually… I’ve always liked you. But I couldn’t muster up the courage. I’m afraid that even my current relationship will be broken for no reason…”

“…”

“But it still won’t work. Even now that you have taken all the maids as concubines, I cannot give up this feeling.”

“I see.”

“If I had conveyed this feeling earlier, would it have made a difference?”

I looked straight into her blue eyes. I couldn’t ignore those eyes full of sincerity.

And also the desperate emotions she showed.

“I don’t know about that.”

“Huh. After all, it is, right? Sorry…”

After apologizing, Emma hung her head down. After a while, I started to hear her sniffling.

“Emma…”

“Oh, no. “Oh, you’re not crying.”

But no matter how I looked, she looked like she was wiping away tears with the back of her hand.

I was embarrassed, perhaps because it had been so long since I had seen my childhood friend so sad. But I soon patted her on the back as I sometimes do.

“Luke…”

She raised her head again. The big eyes she was full of tears, and the cheeks she were also full of tear marks.

“Do you want to wipe your face first?”

Emma hesitated, looking at the handkerchief I held out. When I motioned for her to take it, Emma carefully took her handkerchief.

“Whoa!”

When did you hesitate earlier and even blow your nose? …

Well, at least I was relieved because she looked like the Emma I usually see.

“Oh. The handkerchief…”

“Are you okay. “You can have it.”

“Uh, yes.”

Emma nodded her head timidly and clutched her handkerchief in her hand. At the same time, she sniffed her nose several times, as if trying to somehow stop her crying.

Eventually, Emma regained her composition, and I stopped patting her small back.

“Luke. “What should I do?”

“Hmm?”

“I can’t give up on this feeling.”

Once again, eager eyes fell upon me.

If I had only taken Cecilia in, I wouldn’t have been able to accept Emma’s her feelings her her her. But now I have already accepted Flora and Mulia as concubines.

But I couldn’t force Emma to give up her feelings.

… It’s not that I didn’t have feelings for Emma in the first place.

Until I went to the imperial palace, she was the only childhood friend and person I could feel comfortable with. To say that she didn’t have the slightest interest in her was nothing but self-deception.

“Sorry. I didn’t want to burden you… “I keep getting jealous when I see them being happy together.”

“Emma.”

However, it was somewhat difficult to give a definite answer here.

No matter how much I am the emperor, I cannot force a decision while completely ignoring the feelings of my wives.

“Then, can you give me a little time?”

Emma blinked her eyelids. As if trying to interpret the meaning of my remarks.

Then soon she opened her eyes wide.

“I need to talk to the wives too.”

“Well, I see. Huh. That’s right.”

Emma’s face slowly began to glow. I laughed and patted Emma’s head. She closed her eyes and gave me her head.

As I stood up from the bench, Emma looked at me with a sad expression.

But now the sun will set soon, and I have to return to the imperial palace.

“I’ll come back soon. Or you can come to the imperial palace. You are always welcome to visit.”

“Thank you, Luke!”

Even as the sky grew dark, Emma’s smile was as bright as sunlight.

Anyway, I feel like I’m becoming a bit of a trash person these days…

Still, I thought that there was nothing I could do because I couldn’t hurt the feelings of the women who had formed a deep relationship with me.

‘He’s the emperor. ‘You should enjoy what you can enjoy.’

* * *

As soon as she got into the carriage, Flora showed curiosity about what was being discussed, as if she had been waiting.

I confess frankly. Emma confessed her love to me.

If you’re going to bring Emma in anyway, you have to ask for their understanding of her. It’s better to talk about it in advance than to hide it for no reason.

“Ah. That’s how it goes.”

Flora’s reaction was close to saying that what was expected had happened.

“Aren’t you surprised?”

“You went to His Majesty’s hometown last summer. “At that time, when she saw Miss Emma’s her her eyes and attitude her, she thought that she had unconditional love for her.”

“You can see everything between women.”

Then Flora raised the corners of her mouth and smiled mischievously.

“It’s just that Miss Emma is too obvious.”

“Well, that’s true too.”

I shook my head. Because she had felt that way a few times while spending a long time with Emma.

“Anyway, His Majesty is very popular.”

“It’s amazing. It wasn’t that popular to begin with.”

I shook my shoulders and said, and Flora said,

“But you don’t do that now.”

She said in a serious tone.

“Your Majesty is really cool. “I’ve been in love with you since I was a secretary.”

As I laughed awkwardly, Emma crossed her arms and snorted hummingly. But she knew it was just her own joke, so she responded by laughing lightly.

“Then, Your Majesty, do you plan to take Miss Emma as your concubine?”

“Huh. “I would like to do that if possible.”

“Any woman is good, isn’t that the case?”

She looked at me with a look of genuine concern for her. She waved her hand, saying, “I absolutely don’t.”

“By that logic, they would have tried to take all the maids in the imperial palace as concubines. Isn’t that right?”

“If you really say that, I think I’ll hate you a little…”

Flora made a sad expression.

“You can rest assured that this will never happen.”

“I will trust you, Your Majesty.”

When Flora said that, she felt reassured.

“I am in favor of Miss Emma becoming a concubine. In the first place, if His Majesty wants to take her as his concubine, there is no one who can stop her. But the reason you’re telling me this is because you’re considerate of me, right?”

Although Flora seems to be always cheerful and cheerful, there are times when she is sharp, like now.

“Yes.”

“So I have absolutely no reason to object. “I’m even looking forward to it because I feel like I can get closer to Miss Emma.”

“Thank you, Flora.”

I expressed my gratitude with all my heart. Flora nodded her head with a smile.

“But you should also talk to Her Majesty the Empress and Mulia.”

“Hmm… “I think I’m going to have a bit of a headache.”

She pretended to touch her forehead and Flora laughed.
