Son Ombre

Ep 12

 

If the happiest road in my life was a week ago, then this is the second time I have experienced the same feeling as I walk in my new dress, on the way to the carriage to take us to the ship waiting on the beach.

On the way back to Our palace in Denmark.

This morning we were invited to the last breakfast in the emperor's empire as his guests.

He was glad to see both of us again.

Peter talked to him about something, and I nodded to his Korean responses. After that we went out I was looking loosely at all the soldiers standing in line just like on the first day we arrived.

The commander and the general stood side by side, while this new face stoody there as a replacement for the deputy commander, a soldier named Jo Hyun-min, he was promoted to officer rank and became the new deputy commander while Deputy commander Lee Joong-chan became My new bodyguard.

Since the night we were together, I used to go out every night and we would meet in the General's playroom where we actually met for the first time here.

I couldn't stop falling in love with him, I couldn't stop falling whenever he came and pick me up, he made me fall with him.

like the happiest girl in the world, he made me want to go back to the times when I was just a princess.

I could think about all the things we could do if we met secretly in the palace, about three years ago, where we would have been in secret without anyone knowing or looking, but it didn't happen in my palace, everything happened in the empire of the emperor, in his country.

Nora put down the crown he gave me as a birthday present on my hair. I told her I wanted to leave Korea with that crown on my hair, so she looked at me with her motherly look and asked me why.

With a long look at the crown, she cut off my words that had not yet come out of my lips and nodded as if she understood.

- "I understand - I understand, Your Majesty." She giggles and my blood concentrates on my cheeks and I ask her,

"Nora, can you tell me what you understand?" The moments go by and we keep laughing, I didn't need an answer, though I knew what she understood, and she knew I knew.

"You like your bodyguard." She says suddenly, makes me choke lightly, and she smiles at me the maternal smile I never received from my close mother. Nora was my friend, the closest to a friend.

"Don't tell me that you see it on my face." I look in the mirror, my cheeks have turned pink-peach.

She's putting her hands on my bare shoulders and standing behind me, the two of us staring at each other through the mirror. "He likes you too, much more than you think to yourself, my child."

it was The first time Nora called me her child and a real happy smile appeared on her round face and her eyes sparkled like the first snowflakes in December. My body was flushed from the words she said.

She made me get to the point where I think of all the times we met and he told me he loved me when he looked at my lips or stared into my eyes.

In fact, she made me think that she did know about my secret. Nora knew I liked him. Nora knew I have someone who I love and its not Peter.

More than that, he made my heart flutter and stop, missing a beat and speeding a beat. he was playing with my poor heart. but I remained calm, because it was Nora now, and with her being a faithful servant, we both knew she would stand by me instead of taking Peter's side. He had Harold who was almost married to him anyway.
