Chapter 34.1 (2/2)

At that remark, I held back a sigh.

I believe I am the only maid in the world who has the privilege of sleeping in the same bed as the empress….

I closed my eyes tightly.

“Is it true that His Majesty the Emperor paid a visit to the Empress’s Palace today?”

“Yes, why?”

“But he just left… shouldn’t Your Majesty and the emperor sleep together?”

“We use a separate palace anyway…… we felt uncomfortable with each other when we share the same bed.”

The empress’s expression became sullen when I referred to her as ‘Your Majesty.’

I was watching the empress when I suddenly remembered something mentioned in the original.

‘Because of her strong possessive desire for the emperor, the empress killed all the women who were entangled with him.’

… How big is the difference between reality and the original?

I cast a sidelong glance at the empress as she brushed my hair behind my ears.

When our eyes met, the empress smiled brightly.

“I like Charlize better than His Majesty the Emperor.”

Oh my goodness.

I can’t believe the empress said she likes me better than the emperor himself.

Should I be happy with this overflowing affection or not?

“Listen, more than that, isn’t it the duty of the maids to take good care of the empress?”

As if she had thought of something to persuade me, the empress returned my gaze with a smile as dazzling as the sun.

“You’re aware that I have trouble sleeping, aren’t you?”

“Yes, that’s right. I heard that’s why you used to drink herbal tea a lot in the past.”

It was something I heard from the maids.

The empress used to drink herbal teas to help her sleep because she suffers from insomnia.

But I’ve never seen her sipping the herbal tea since I arrived at the Empress’ Palace…

I tilted my head.

The empress spoke proudly.

“I don’t expect to lose any sleep if I sleep with Lize.”

“What?”

“That means Lize is very good at supplementing me. Don’t you think so?”

It was wonderful flattery, but the problem was that the empress who delivered the flattery is extremely beautiful.

As expected, the world revolves around those who are beautiful.

I had to do my best not to be captivated by the empress’ beauty.

Think about it.

The empress, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world, stared at me, her eyelashes fluttering like butterflies.

In such a circumstance, how am I supposed to refuse her?

It’s impossible for me to refuse her when her face is so close to mine!
