Being Cruel Empress
45. Threat Letter

Next day. Winter wakes up first, and leaves to leave Ellena still asleep. After bathing and changing clothes, Winter returned to Ellena's room. She waited for Ellena to wake up. As there was no activity, Winter opened the door and peered out of the room, intending to call the maid. However, Janette and Carlos arrive in a hurry to catch Winter. Seeing two people running up to gasp, Winter was already open to something wrong. Winter looked away at Ellena, and Ellena was still sleeping. Hurry Winter out of the room and close the door.

"Your Majesty, is Her Majesty the Empress still sleeping?" ask Janette.

"Yes, he's still sleeping. What are you guys running around? ah. .. We better talk in the workspace, if it's just gonna bother Ellena" Winter said.

Winter walked into the study. Janette and Carlos look at each other, then they walk side by side following Winter into the study.

***

In the workspace. Winter asked what happened? while staring at Janette and Carlos alternately. Janette and Carlos stared at each other, Janette asking Carlos to deliver the messages and letters they received.

"Your Majesty. We received a letter for you and Her Majesty the Empress from the head of the palace garden. After I asked, he said the sender did not mention the identity because you would know after reading the contents of the letter" Carlos explained.

Carlos gave both letters to Winter. Winter received and saw both the sirats. It is true, in each of the written letters to him and his wife. Considering the letter was branded tapa using the family crest and the like, made Winter suspicious.

Out of curiosity Winter opened and read the letter. Janette and Carlos looked at each other again because they were worried. Winter gripped the letter in his hand and looked angry.

"Janette .. return to the Empress's court. After my wife wakes up, help her take a shower and change her clothes, then take her to the dining room. Don't say anything about this letter, because I'll give it to you later when we have breakfast together. Youunderstand?" said Winter staring at Janette.

"All right, Your Majesty. Excuse me" Janette said, leaving Winter and Carlos.

Winter looked at Carlos, "Go and check out the Grand Duke's residence, Carl. Sebastian said in his letter, if he had leveled the Grand Duke's residence" Winter said.

"W-what? how come? he's really outrageous once. I will immediately go and find out everything, Your Majesty" said Carlos who immediately left.

Winter stared at the letter he was holding, "Damn it! You can't just be left with it, Sebastian. I'll definitely bring you to your knees before me." Winter's inner self threw Sebastian's letter into the trash.

Winter thought, Ellena must be very surprised later when she told him. He could not see the sadness on his wife's face anymore. However, he also could not just keep everything hidden. He had to give Sebastian a letter. Winter thought of opening the letter, but it was intended for Ellena. Winter's heart and mind are starting to get messed up.

***

Ellena wakes up and immediately takes a bath, she helps Janette get ready. Next, we go to the dining room. At Winter's request, Janette remained silent about the letter. Ellena felt strange, because Janette was too quiet. Janette usually asks a lot and talks until it makes her ears hurt.

"Why do you just shut up, Jane ." asked Ellena.

"Is there something, Your Majesty?" ask Janette.

Ellene paused and looked at Janette, "Am I not the one who should have asked that? is there anything, until you've just been quiet since I woke up until now? you're not like you used to be" Ellena said.

"You sick? you should have rested, Jane. I can help another waiter or do it myself. Next time don't push yourself, you understand?" asked Ellena holding Janette's hand.

Janette nodded her head, "I understand, Your Majesty. You better continue your journey soon. His Majesty the Emperor must have been waiting for you in the dining hall for breakfast together," Janette said.

"Oh .. For a moment I forgot. Come on, my husband must have been very hungry because of me" Ellena said.

Ellena continued walking up to the dining room door. Two servants opened the door, letting Ellena in. Ellena came in and saw Winter sitting daydreaming until she was not aware of her arrival.

"Your Majesty .. " call Ellena.

Ellena frowned, "He why? I'm daydreaming, aren't I?" inner Ellena.

Ellena walked up to Winter and patted Winter on the shoulder, "My husband, are you daydreaming?" ask Ellena.

Winter's in shock,"Oh, honey. Have you come yet? I'm sorry, I was daydreaming until I realized you were coming" Winter said.

Winter immediately stood up from the chair she was sitting in, pulling the chair next to her so Ellena could sit down. After seeing Ellena sitting down, Winter asked the waiter to serve breakfast. Winter returned to his seat. He and Ellena waited for the waiter who was preparing their breakfast. Winter was still thinking about how to deliver Sebastian's letter to Ellena, and he intended to do that after Ellena had breakfast. After serving breakfast, Winter asked all the waiters out of the room. Winter says, if he alone will take over serve Ellena.

"I can be alone, you don't have to serve" Ellena said.

"I asked the waiter to make some porridge. And some bread. Do you want to eat other food?" tawar Winters.

"No, no. This alone is enough. Anyway I don't have much appetite. Come on, you eat too." Ellena looked at Winter.

Winter immediately scooped the porridge and put it on. It doesn't feel good to eat because it keeps thinking. However, he did not want to make Ellena misunderstand if she saw him eating slowly as if he did not like the porridge that had been served. Winter ate slowly while observing Ellena. She saw Ellena eating quietly.

After Ellena finished eating the porridge, and was eating the bread, Winter began to speak. He asked if Ellena was okay? Remembering all night they do heat things that drain energy. Ellena smiled and said she was okay.

"Ellena .. I actually have something to tell you. But I was afraid to tell it. I'm afraid you'll be shaken. Because of course the contents of the letter is not a good thing. It's just, I still have to deliver this. (Taking out a letter from Sebastian and putting it on the table) This letter from Sebastian. He also sent me a letter and said that he had leveled the Grand Duke's residence." Winter said.

"What's? what did you say?" ellena asked in surprise. Ellena dropped the bread she was holding.

Ellena quickly picked up the letter on the table and opened it. He read the letter carefully. It turns out Sebastian admitted he had taken away Erick, his father. And offer something, if Erick wants to survive. Ellena must turn herself in, if not Erick who is the only family ended tragically. Sebastian gave Ellena three days to think and give her an answer.

Ellena's angry. He was beating Sebastian. Winter who also read directly Emotion. He asked Ellena not to be provoked and do something stupid. Ellena said she had to save her father, because he was the only family left. Winter hugs Ellena, Wjnter says, he will find a way to help Ellena.
