Being Cruel Empress
15. Temporary Bidder

Ellena took off Winter's embrace and looked at Winter. He immediately took out a bottle containing the antidote that he gave Winter. Ellena asks Winter to quickly drink the potion before anyone comes to her study.

Winter accepted and immediately opened the bottle cap. Without a doubt Winter drank the potion. Ellena is relieved, at least Winter will be fine at this time. He takes the bottle from Winter's hand and keeps it back so that no one else can find it.

"Have you felt better after throwing out the tea and giving me the antidote?" tanya Winter looked at Ellena.

"I'm sorry for the tea, I'll prepare a new one. Thank you for drinking the antidote I gave you without saying anything. Though I'm afraid you'll ask a lot of questions" Ellena said.

"I'm not gonna do it. From now on, I'll believe whatever you say. Because I trust no one but my wife" Winter replied.

"Yes?" ellena said stunned.

"So she called my wife, too, right? Now he calls my wife again. Is he aware of what he's saying?" inner Ellena.

Winter stroked Ellena's face, "Yet you're silent and you're thinking complicated things, yeah" Winter said.

Ellena was about to ask something, but the door of Winter's study was knocked by someone from the outside. And that person is Erwan. Because lazy to meet, Ellena latas pampit retreat. Ellena again wants Winter to be careful and not careless. Winter recited Ellena's words. And Winter lets Erwan into his study.

Ellena left, just as Ellena was at the door, Erwan opened the door and entered. Erwan was shocked to see Ellena. However, Erwan quickly changed his facial expression and smilingly looked at Ellena. Erwan greeted Ellena.

"Greetings to the Imperial Moon, Her Majesty Empress Ellena De Veloz. Did you just talk to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Empress?" ask Erwan.

"Yes, but I have to go back. Because he looks very busy." replied Ellena coldly.

Erwan poked his forehead for a moment. There was something strange about Ellena. Though Ellena who known for two months is a friendly figure and a cheap smile. While Ellena who faced him looked like a Wolf who was showing fangs and ready to pounce on prey.

"What'sthis? why does this woman look upset and want to explode her anger? is this just my feeling? I feel depressed just by the look in his eyes." Erwan's mind.

"Your Majesty the Emperor is indeed very busy. That's why he can't meet you. You must be very sad and disappointed, Your Majesty. Forgive me for not being able to help the work of His Majesty the Emperor" Erwan said.

"Hah .. This rat speaks as if he loves me who can't meet Winter. You rotten man. You're good at hiding your real face behind a mask apparently. Please just show your kind side that is just a pretense of it. Once I get proof of you, you'll have me completely wiped out." - Ellena.

"It's okay. I'm busy anyway. The Imperial Empress was a lot of work. Do you know what, Mr Secretary? lately I've had a new fear. I am happy to punish the guilty. So I hope you work well without mistakes, because if your mistakes are visible to me. I won't stay silent." said Ellena who immediately left Erwan.

Hearing Ellena's words, Erwan instantly fell silent. His body felt frozen because it felt a cold chill emanating from Ellena.

"What the fuck is that woman. What does he mean he talks to me like that? Where did he learn to talk like that?" inner Erwan.

Ellena's words were a warning, but Erwan was not aware of it. Erwan still thinks, if Ellena is a plain woman who is easily influenced only by sweet words and attention.

"What's up, Erwan?" ask Winter. Erwan's daydream.

" answered Erwan.

Erwan immediately said what he wanted to say about the meeting tomorrow. The agenda for tomorrow's meeting was the discussion of the Empire's cooperation with the mercenary army of Baron Rosaro. Winter was startled, he frowned his forehead staring intently at Erwan. Sedangka Erwan continued to talk, reporting what will be discussed in the meeting and so forth.

"Erwan .." call Winter.

"Are you sure Baron Rosaro is a trustworthy man?" ask Winter.

"Yes? Wh-what do you mean, Your Majesty. Do you doubt a Baron Rosaro?" erwan asked with a puzzled facial expression.

"Everyone I can doubt. Including you!" answer Winter suddenly.

Deg ....

Erwan. Erwan then said, that Winter should not doubt it. He will serve until the end of his life for the Empire.

"Oh, just for the Empire, yeah. Not for me?" sahut Winter's.

Erwan immediately read his words and said he would be loyal to Winter until the end of his life. He promised to work hard in the morning, during the night and even willingly languish in the workspace overnight if needed.

Winter laughed at Erwan inwardly. He felt that he was very sad because he could believe Erwan's words were just nonsense.

"You're so stupid, Winter. You can believe this son of a bitch. If it were me before death, then I would instantly recite all your words and praise you. However, if I were the one now you wouldn't be able to fool, Erwan." Winter's inner.

"Is that so? all right, I'll hold your word. What punishment would you accept, if you reneged on your word, Erwan?" Ask Winter.

Erwan's face immediately turned pale. Erwan asks what Winter meant by punishment? Erwan asserted, if he will not do things that are not pleasing to Winter and will be faithful. Winter also asserts, if he needs concrete evidence, open only words or promises. If Erwan could only promise, then Erwan would need to tell him what punishment Erwan would receive in return for breaking his own words.

Erwan immediately knelt down. He said he was ready to die if he broke his own words. And Erwan's reply instantly made Winter laugh out loud.

"Mahaha .... "

"Good, good! believe in yourself like this because none of this will do any more good. Once I get what I want, that's when I'm gonna slash your neck like you did to me." - Winter.

Erwan frowned. He didn't know what made Winter laugh. He just followed what Winter wanted.

"Why is he laughing, huh? is he very satisfied with what I say? Of course, it must be very satisfied. Because I did what he told me to do. Hmh! why is he asking me to do this? if it wasn't for my purpose, I wouldn't have bothered like this. You have to be patient, Erwan. Must patience. Once His Majesty the Emperor can be mastered, then overthrowing him would be very easy. Hahaha .. yes, very easy." inner Erwan.
