I Became the Master of the Empress

86 – Episode 86

L.

I break out in a cold sweat at the sudden meeting with the god who is said to be the first of the four gods chosen as creator gods in this world.

Is it too sudden?

“It’s complicated, isn’t it?”

Are you reading my mind?

“That’s right. “He’s a god, so that’s only natural.”

“I see… I see.”

L speaks brightly in response to my words.

“I’m sorry for calling you suddenly. “I don’t have a chance to talk to you anymore.”

Opportunity?

I heard that El is an omnipotent and omnipotent god.

“It is not omnipotent. They just want to believe that. I don’t have much time. “Is there anything you want to ask?”

“There are a lot. “There are too many.”

Puhup.

God laughs at my words.

“Sorry. “Are you surprised that he suddenly brought me here?”

I nod my head at those words.

“Yes. But am I in a novel?”

L shakes his head at my words.

“No. “It’s a different world.”

“Then why did I come here?”

Should we call it possession?

Is there a reason why I need to be possessed here?

Why was I brought here?

When I was young. No, I still think about it sometimes.

This is why I came here.

The hero comes here to save the world.

But I am not a warrior.

Then what did I come here for?

After hearing what I said, El raised her head and spoke as if she was looking at the ceiling.

“I’m sorry… I want to answer. “I can’t do that.”

As L said that, the surrounding scenery began to split.

The white space splits and darkness erodes the surroundings.

“No… Why?”

“Someday, when you complete your mission… Then…”

Are you completing your mission?

“The reward is…”

I say something, but it doesn’t sound right.

“What?!”

Looking at El slowly turning transparent, she stretched out her hand and shouted.

Can’t be caught.

-Sharp!

“Haa… Haa…”

Where? It’s my first time seeing this… No, it’s a familiar sight.

Is this the newlywed’s room?

“You? “Are you awake?”

-Wow!

Something embraces me.

“Huh… Huh… I was worried because I thought I was going to die.”

As the fragrant scent of rosemary tickles the tip of my nose, I gently lower my head.

She says blankly as she looks at the gray-haired woman with her face buried in my arms and holding my clothes tightly.

“Theodora?”

A woman nods her head slightly.

What is it? I was definitely in a dream…

-Rattle…

I stroke Theodora, who seems to be shivering in my arms.

Are you back? Or is it a dream?

When you remember something vividly but it feels like a dream.

“I thought I was going to die. “Do you know how worried I was that I would never see you again?”

But as I continue to think about it, I am concerned about Theodora in my arms.

Were you worried?

-Pat pat.

Pat her on the back and wait for her to calm down.

She gently raises her head and makes eye contact with me.

Red ruby-like eyes and tears hanging from the corners of the eyes.

How can she look so pretty when she cries?

I’m sure she was always cold when I saw her in my dreams.

Why do I feel so warm now?

Her body temperature, breath, and even the scent of rosemary.

I speak as I carefully wipe away her tears with my finger.

“Were you very worried?”

Nod your head at what I say.

“Yes. “I was so worried that I would never… Sob… Never wake up again.”

I softly smile and say to her voice full of tears.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

Theodora nodded slightly with a slightly red face at my words.

Phew… If you die, then it’s really…

I think it was a good thing that I sacrificed my body to protect her because she had no choice but to be in a situation where there was no answer.

If she had died, she would have been in an unimaginable situation.

I sigh and feel relieved at that thought.

“Phew… I’m really glad.”

He says my words with a slightly mischievous look in his eyes.

“Stupid… You’re the one who got hurt… But you’re worried about me as soon as you wake up?”

I think to myself about those words.

If you die, there will no longer be any justification for intervening in imperial politics.

I don’t think it’s okay to say this to Theodora.

“That’s it. “You’re my one and only wife, right?”

And let’s pat Theodora’s head, which looks a little cute today.

“Ugh…”

She lowers her head and trembles slightly.

What did Theodora eat wrong?

“I… I’m going to call a doctor.”

Theodora said that and escaped from my arms.

I immediately open the door and laugh as I watch them rush out.

Now that I think about it… Something didn’t happen while I was sleeping, right?

I felt anxious for a moment when I saw Theodora leaving, but I thought that she would return soon, so I lay down on her bed and lost in thought.

Now that I think about it, two months have passed since I got married.

I think this is my first time lying in bed.

Because I recognize that again.

In bed, Theodora’s rosemary scent gently passes her nose.

“Sniff… Sniff…”

Ugh… It seems like something has gone awry.

Let’s think about it like that.

-Squeak!

The court doctor and Theodora are seen in the room.

“Your Highness the Grand Duke. “Please excuse me for a moment.”

“Do it like that.”

Once the simple checkup was over. The court doctor stands up and speaks.

“No special abnormalities have been identified. However, since you have been in bed for a long time, you should not overdo it.”

I chuckle at those words.

“I won. I’m usually busy. “I’m worried that I’ve already had a few days off so work has piled up in the major study department.”

It seems like the doctor sees something strange in my words.

“Your Highness the Grand Duke. Still, health comes first.”

Hearing those words, Theodora frowns and says.

“That’s right! “Why are you thinking about going to work as soon as you wake up?”

The doctor speaks as if he were right.

“You haven’t fully recovered yet, so if you overdo it, you’ll be in real trouble.”

-Pisik.

“I understand. “Stop it, Teodora.”

After seeing the doctor pack his bags and leave the room, I open my mouth.

“Where is Agrippa?”

“Ah, what are you doing right after you wake up?”

Theodora crosses her arms and shoots an annoyed look in her eyes.

“Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? “I told you to get some rest, right?”

“Well… But you still need to know about the assassination incident and other things that happened in the meantime, right? Oh right. “What day is it today?”

She sighs as if she doesn’t like it.

“Really… I can’t stop you. “Today is January 26th.”

Huh?

When was the day I collapsed?

Was it January 15th?

Because Agrippa came and collapsed the next day.

“Ha… Has it been 11 days? “There must be a lot of work piled up, right?”

Theodora slightly nodded her head.

The system I currently govern has made it so that most things, big or small, go through me.

Being in a position with such great power, I have no time to rest, which is a disadvantage, but the advantage of being able to control everything in the empire with one hand is greater, so I am maintaining this form.

If you have to take a break from work like this…

It is obvious that my office is full of documents.

“Ah… I guess it won’t work. “I have to go to the Grand Study.”

That moment.

Theodora roughly pushed me, trying to get out of bed, and laid me down on the bed.

“You! Do you have any real thoughts? No?! What do you say as soon as you wake up?! “Do you really want to make me a living widow?”

I cringe as I see Theodora speaking fiercely while shedding tears.

What… Why are you crying?

“I was so worried. “I was so upset… I didn’t even know that.”

As I see her frailly shaking her shoulders, my instincts begin to send me a warning.

“I just woke up from ignorance… I said I was going to work… Hmm…”

If you don’t comfort me now…

Does this mean that it is an instinct that may go astray like Theodora seen in a dream?

I don’t know, but I think I have to comfort him.

Well, he’s the one who cries because he’s worried about me. It’s natural.

At her thought, I gently pull her into my arms and pat her back.

-Pat, pat.

What is so sad about her? I pat her as she cries in my arms and get lost in her thoughts.

But now that I think about it, it feels a little unfair.

I was the one who got stabbed. Is it okay to be behind on work?

I feel a little anxious because I have no idea how much work is piling up inside me.

Should I stay and sneak out at night?

Should I eat the unicorn horn again?

When you think like that.

I hear Theodora’s crying voice in my arms.

“Hmm… The only thing that matters is that I signed it. “You don’t have to worry.”

I feel deep gratitude for those words.

“Really?”

I can feel her gently nodding at my words.

“Otherwise… You’ll try to eat the unicorn’s horn again.”

How did you know?

She looks at me gently with her bright red eyes.

“So. “Take care of your health.”

I feel an unfamiliar sensation tickling my chest.

“Ugh… I will.”

That moment.

-Knock knock!

From Noble mtl dot com

We hear a knock and Theodora and I look at the door.

And when our eyes met again, Theodora shook her head as if she had no idea who it was.

It’s like talking with your eyes.

Wow… They are just a couple in pattern. You can communicate with your eyes.

After organizing my thoughts like that, I speak.

“Who?”

[General Agrippa visited.]

Huh? Did you come here after hearing a rumor that I woke up?

“Come on in.”

-Kkiik!

I greet him brightly as I see a handsome blonde man enter the room with a stern expression on his face.

“How are you, Agrippa?”

Did he not know that I was up? It’s been a long time since I saw Agrippa’s shocked face.

“Um… Your Highness?!”

“It’s been a while, huh?”

Agripa, who nodded with a blank face at my words, soon smiled brightly.

“When did you wake up? “Are you feeling okay?”

“It hasn’t been long since it happened. “I feel fine.”

“I’m really glad you woke up.”

I chuckle as I see Agrippa speaking happily.

“Nothing happened?”

Agripa shakes his head at my words and glances at Theodora.

Uh… I don’t think this is unusual?

I think we probably need to talk about a sensitive topic, so I look at Theodora and say.

“Well… Over there…”

“Chi… I understand. But not for long.”

I look around with an embarrassed expression on my face.

“Yes, don’t worry. I will also rest well today. “It’ll be over soon, right?”

I tried to get up from the bed, seeing Theodora walking away as if she understood what I said… My legs felt weak.

-Stumble!

“Your Majesty!”

It’s a shame that he hurriedly grabbed my body and stopped me from falling.

“Ah… It’s okay. “Maybe it’s because I’ve been lying down for a long time.”

I say this to Agrippa, who is trying to put me back on the bed, as if he is worried about my words.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yes. Because it’s okay. “Let’s go to the sofa instead of the bed.”
