He nodded. The nod was more convincing than before.
“How can I not know when everyone is talking about that?”
Not only her, but also those in the capital could have not known about it.
She was just saving her breath because she might have lost her neck by tomorrow morning if she talked openly about it.
Ellie whispered after peeking around carefully even though they were inside the room where no one was around except them.
“So that’s why. Her Majesty can’t bear an heir for the Empire.”
“Then?”
Ellie’s eyes lit up.
“Your Highness can’t just live like this for the rest of your life. You can’t even live like a common noble, let alone getting recognition from others. You should enjoy what you are supposed to have….”
No, she didn’t have anything to enjoy in the first place.
Helen secretly drew a faint smile on her face. She completely understood Ellie’s remarks now.
“So you were worried about me.”
Bringing up such a book to her, and even talking about this topic secretly.
Helen stroked Ellie’s hair slightly.
“I get what you were trying to say.”
“I really apologize if you consider it rude. I’ll comply wholeheartedly if you decide to punish me.”
“No, Ellie.”
She liked that her maid was worried about her, but she also hated it.
Even if it was a good thing that she secretly planned all this out of concern for her master, but she hated the fact that she couldn’t turn the situation to be better without having to bear the child of the Emperor.
Furthermore, she was currently being threatened by his father with her life as a guarantee, let alone having the Emperor’s child.
In the midst of all this, how much better did she think this would be?
Helen never thought of running away from this situation.
Just like a bird that was born trapped in a cage and never knew about the world outside the cage.
‘Still, it’s a bit upsetting.’
Helen didn’t even think of raising the corner of her lips at all.
