The Evil Empress Adores Me

Yes, of course. Im grateful that the Empress dowager is so attentive.

Fortunately, the long time I served as a maid has not been in vain and I was able to give a quick answer.

Her Majesty, the Empress dowager, closed her eyes, relieved at my answer.

Thats a relief. There are only older people in this palace. I was worried that it wouldnt suit the tastes of a child.

No, it was really good.

I shook my head right away.

How old are you? Youre not picky about food?

Of course, if you give me a choice between meat and vegetables, Id choose meat!

But.

Meanwhile, I glanced at the food in front of Her Majesty.

She only ate soft dishes such as soup and hasnt touched any hard foods.

Are her teeth sensitive?

At that time, Her Majesty opened her mouth.

Actually, the reason youre here is because I begged the Empress that I really wanted to see you.

Me?

Yes.

After nodding, the Empress dowager continued to gaze at me for a long time.

Ah, shes doing it again.

My face must remind her of someone she misses very much..

Youre the maid who takes care of Damian, right?

The Empress dowager said so with caution in her voice.

Thats right, the Empress dowager is Damians grandmother.

When I recalled that fact, I felt sorry.

Even though they lived within the Imperial palace and their palaces are not far from one another, they havent seen each other for five years.

In addition, the shock she would probably feel from seeing how much Damian has grown.

Thats right, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager.

First of all, I should say thank you for taking good care of Damian. Youre very young too.

No please, its what I have to do.

I shook my head.

By the way, I heard that Damian collapsed from a fever a while ago, has he gotten better?

Yes, hes very healthy now.

Thats a relief. Its gotten a lot hotter these days. Hows Damian doing? Is he eating well?

Of course, hes been enjoying southern-style meat dishes lately. So

Her Majesty asked countless questions about Damian.

I answered each question sincerely.

After all, the least I could do for the Empress dowager was to deliver the news about Damian.

Shes still five years old but shes very smart for her age.

Her Majesty, the Empress dowager, who had been listening to me for a long time, finally said so with a satisfied face.

The Empress nodded her head, unable to hide her pride in Charlize.

Right? You dont know how smart our Charlize is. Shes very good at her work.

Im so proud of you. So, can you send Charlize to my palace sometimes?

Then, the Empress suddenly flinched her shoulders.

Being in this palace is so lonely. I think itd be nice if she could talk to me and keep me company.

Empress?

Ah, yes.

It was then that the Empress hurriedly put a smile on her face.

Her smile seemed awkward, different from her usual smiles.

..Or am I just imagining things?

Okay. Ill let her go sometimes.

Yes, thank you.

In response to that answer, the Empress dowagers face brightened.

After that, their friendly conversations continued.

But I saw it.

The empress lips twitched slightly!
