The Evil Empress Adores Me-Chapter 88

“More than that, Count Antes!”

No, why Siena of all people!

I shed tears of blood in my eyes at my own cubic equation.

And yet, my mouth was faithfully praising her.

“She’s even more wonderful than the rumors say.”

“Count Antes? ... ... Why is Siena suddenly coming up?”

Diamide narrowed his brows.

Again.

Calling her by her friendly name, ‘Siena.’

I chewed the soft skin inside my mouth.

It’s just a title.

So, don’t be shocked by such trivial things.

... ... You don’t have the right to do that.

“Well, you rode into the triumphal procession with His Majesty earlier, right?”

“Yes. But why?”

“Just, looking at that... ... I thought the two of you would be a great match... ... .”

I continued my rambling.

Then Diamid furrowed his brow.

“Are you interested in Siena?”

“... ... Yes?”

“No. I won’t introduce you.”

Diamid shook his head firmly.

Hey, I never asked you to introduce me.

In the first place, why would a maid of the Empress’s palace be introduced to Count Antes?

“I mean, Charles.”

“Yes, yes?”

“I don’t want your attention being divided by someone else.”

Diamid declared with absolute determination.

Huh, huh?

I blinked, dumbfounded.

“Even without that, I’m already sad that Her Majesty the Empress is the first choice... ... .”

The voice, muttering quietly to itself, somehow sounded extremely wronged.

... ... No, what on earth is he talking about?

Oh, that’s enough. That’s enough.

I let out a deep sigh and got up.

“Your Majesty, I think you should go inside now. You have plans for tomorrow.”

I corrected myself.

To be exact, I tried to get up.

That’s because Diamide grabbed my skirt and wouldn’t let me get up!

“I’m fine, so stay with me a little longer.”

“But it’s too late.”

When I first met Diamide, the moon was just rising, but now it was high in the sky.

But Diamide was unwavering.

“No, don’t go.”

“... ... Are you being a jerk to me?”

“Yes, you are.”

Diamide answered shamelessly.

“... ... .”

I was speechless.

Honestly, I knew that even Diamide could be shameless sometimes when necessary... ... .

But I didn’t know that she would be this stubborn.

“Yes. How could I dare disobey His Highness the Crown Prince’s orders?”

I pouted and sat down.

“I’m just a powerless maid in the Empress’s palace.”

“A powerless maid in the Empress’ palace... ... .”

Diamide chewed on my words in a heavy voice.

What, what.

Did I say something wrong?

I secretly glanced at Diamide.

“How long do you think you’ll be a powerless maid in the Empress’ palace?”

Huh?

I was bewildered.

Diamide smiled strangely as she looked at me like that.

“No, it’s nothing.”

What is it?

Don’t you know that interrupting someone mid-sentence is the worst thing you can do?

I tried to ask Diamide a little more.

... ... I mean, that’s what I meant.

“How are you, Charles?”

To be exact, that was until Diamide tilted his head slightly and met my gaze.

Beneath his flowing hair, his vivid crimson eyes sparkled captivatingly.

And sadly enough... ... I was an idiot.

I felt my face flush.

You, you’re using a beauty trick like this?!

“Don’t I look healthy?”

Of course, I look very healthy.

I nodded fervently with a flushed face.

Then Diamide whispered to me in a voice so sweet it made my ears melt.

“Then I kept my promise with you, right?”

“Hey, promise?”

“Yes. “I promised to come back healthy and with a smile.”

Oh, right.

I made that promise.

Diamide was looking at me with sparkling eyes.

He looked like a puppy looking for praise.

... ... I don’t know if it’s okay to compare a crown prince of a country to a puppy.

“That’s right. You did a good job, Your Majesty.”

Since I could clearly see into Diamide’s mind, I praised him.

Then Diamide smiled brightly.

It was a rather seductive smile.

“So you too... ... keep the promise you made with me.”

“Huh? The promise you made with Your Majesty?”

“You promised to call me by my name.”

Huh? My name?

I think I definitely said that... ... .

“Your Majesty, that’s a bit... ... .”

I suddenly came to my senses and looked up at him with an embarrassed expression.

Well, it’s true that I made a promise in # Nоvеlight # the heat of the moment.

No matter what, I’m a maid and you’re the crown prince, right?

But Diamide seemed absolutely unwilling to compromise on this issue.

“I’m not ‘His Highness the Crown Prince’ to you.”

Diamide made a rare, firm face.

“I just... ... want to be ‘Diamide.’”

“But, but. There are other people’s eyes... ... .”

“If that’s really the issue, then at least do it when we’re alone.”

Hmm, if you’re going to say it like that.

I swallowed hard.

Even though I was just calling your name, I don’t know why I feel this ticklish feeling deep in my chest.

I took a deep breath and carefully called Diamide.

“Diamide.”

At that moment, Diamide’s smile grew darker.

It was a bright smile that seemed to have gathered all the happiness in the world.

“Thank you.”

“What, what?”

Feeling a little embarrassed, I turned my head slightly and avoided his eyes.

But at that moment.

Diamide suddenly reached out to me.

“Okay. Then I’ll take you to the Empress’s Palace.”

“Huh? No, I can go alone.”

“I want to take you there.”

Diamide waved his hand as if telling me to grab it quickly.

I closed my eyes tightly.

Really, there was no way I could refuse that hand.

In the end, I carefully placed my hand over Diamide’s.

The scarlet eyes swung open nicely.

After a while.

We finally arrived in front of the Empress’s Palace.

“Thank you so much for taking me there.”

I tried to act calm and greeted him like that.

But I couldn’t help feeling a little lonely.

If we part like this, when will we be able to meet again?

Diamide had just returned to the palace.

So, he must have a lot to take care of.

I know that Diamide is being considerate enough just by making time for me, but... ... .

‘... ... I still feel a little sorry.’

Just as I was sullenly slumping my shoulders,

Diamide lowered his head and whispered softly into my ear.

“Good night, I’ll come back tomorrow.”

My eyes widened at the unexpected words.

Huh? You’re coming back tomorrow?

But I have to see Her Majesty the Empress Dowager tomorrow, and I know she’s busy in many ways.

Even though I thought that in my head, I found myself nodding.

“Yes, I’ll wait.”

Finally, Diamide turned around with a smile.

I stood there as if I was stuck in that spot, watching Diamide’s back disappear into the distance.

Then.

“Ah.”

I opened my lips slightly.

Now that I think about it, I completely forgot to ask Diamide.

‘How long do you think you’ll be a powerless maid of the Empress’s palace?’... ... .

What on earth does that mean?

That evening.

I had a dream after a long time.

- Karpel.

Countless stars twinkling as if they’ll fall at any moment.

And beneath them, a woman with a pale face.

- I’ll keep my promise with you. So you too... ... .

She looked at the man sleeping comfortably, shedding endless tears.

- ... ... Keep the promise you made with me.

With that whisper, I lifted my eyelids.

‘What, why am I having this dream again all of a sudden?’

I lifted my finger and roughly wiped away the tears that had gathered in my eyes.

I hadn’t had this dream since the first time Diamide exerted its power of purification.

The content of the dream was always the same.

A woman demanding ‘keep your promise’, and a man who looked exactly like Diamide.

At first, I just dismissed it as a trivial dream, but after having the same dream a second time, I started to feel a little uneasy.

‘What on earth did we promise?’

I tilted my head.

The woman’s sad face lingered in my mind.

And... ... ‘Carpel’?

Carpel the Great was the first emperor who founded the Winsor Empire... ... .

“... ... .”

I bit my lips quietly.

That’s enough. Even if I think about it, there is no answer, it is just frustrating.

More than that... ... .

‘Diamide.’

I pulled the blanket up to my neck and laughed breathlessly.

Diamide was back.

That fact became a reality again.
