A Fake Concubine Was Caught by the Tyrant

Chapter 25

“I miss you….”

She felt sorry for Helen, who cried while only muttering a series of meaningless words.

She missed cookies? Did it mean that she wanted to eat more cookies? Or, did she grow sick and tired of eating cookies? Or was it too little?

Ellie waited for Helen to stop crying with a bewildered face, as she had no idea why her master was crying.

She could hear nothing other than the occasional sob from how much she endured the tears from dripping down her face.

Ellie looked pitiful when she stayed beside Helen, who lowered her head, and waited until her cry stopped.

After that, Ellie baked macadamia cookies, green tea cookies, and almond cookies to be brought to Helen.

“I’m sure she will be happy this time!”

However, it remained a secret between both of them that Helen eventually cried after receiving the cookie.

***

These days, no one in the concubine residence has ever mentioned His Majesty the Emperor, Viester, as well as the medicine, Velly, or Cecillia.

They all referred to those matters as ‘that’ while acting as if those words must not escape from their mouths.

This was because Velly’s death was considered not as a small shock to them.

The maid saved themselves in fear of ending up in the same way, the concubines were also afraid that they would be kicked out.

Divorce and deposal were very different. The deposal meant that they kicked out unilaterally and didn’t have any right to receive the wedding gift they brought when they got married.

Moreover, they didn’t get settlement money, and due to their reputation as the Emperor’s abandoned women, they had to lower themselves in their next marriage in the future.

Because of that, the concubines had no choice but to play safe.

People stopped taking a walk to the concubine’s garden, which was always full of people before.

Helen has been walking to the garden by herself lately. She had always wanted to take a walk, but she didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention since all the concubines here have social status as princesses before.

Elegant paces, arrogant gazes, confident gestures, dignified shoulders… Helen was envious of everything they had.

Now she only wanted to see him.

He filled Helen’s mind.

Helen’s eyes were barely in focus until she thought it was the backyard because there were no people there, without knowing that she had stepped in the front garden which she wouldn’t normally do.

At that moment, Ellie was seen running from far away searching for Helen.

“Your Highness!”

Impatient filled her face with a hint of joy as she held the letter in her hand.

Ellie was out of breath, perhaps because she just ran in a hurry.

Why was she in such a hurry?

Besides, the entire residence of concubines has become loud ever since just now.

She couldn’t hear the commotion because she was too indulged in her mind.

Ellie, who saw Helen’s incredulous look, exclaimed happily.
