Helena: I Couldn't Sleep All Night

Helena didn't think she could sleep on Louis' soft bed. It should be, not her sleeping there but King Louis.

But in fact, Louis prefers a long sofa, as a place to rest at that time.

They did sleep separately, even though they were still in the same room. Isn't that a strange thing? Because Louis didn't kick Helena that night.

That night, both of them were very tired.

Especially, for Helena who had managed to wreak havoc on the first day of the night of mourning with King Louis.

"Why, I can't close my eyes yet?" Helena muttered very quietly. She was sure that no sound came out of her mouth. Maybe her mind, which had been thinking a lot of strange things.

Even though Helena's body was lying down, Helena's eyes looked very fresh.

Suddenly she didn't feel sleepy at all, and Helena looked more often at Louis, who was already lying down.

"Is he really asleep?" Helena carefully straightened her body.

She looked at Louis, who was sleeping. The king, looking handsome and stunning when he sleeps.

"Why can he sleep so easily? While I? Hhh ... Helena! You are so lucky that you can survive. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to me tonight."

Helena thought, and she lowered her legs. Doesn't know what Helena is thinking. Is the effect of the drug still there? So that Helena can't think logically?

Why did she even come closer to Louis who was sleeping?

"This is crazy! It seems I have lost all my mind. Why should I be so close to him? He is a dangerous King Aarez, HELENA!!"

Helena seemed to regret her decision, but she was already very close to Louis.

She looked back at Louis' face, saw her eyes were closed. And his chest expands regularly as Louis breathes.

"Wow... he looks handsome when he sleeps. No wonder many women want to be with him." Helena said a little loudly, making Louis a little surprised.

Helena immediately took a step back. Although, her foot had to hit the side of the table behind her.

"Ouch... my feet..!" Helena screamed as she shut her mouth.

"Is he awake?" Helena thought and watched Louis, who only moved a little. But after that, nothing else happened because Louis was still sleeping and was not aware of Helena, who was close to him.

"Never mind, Helena. You better go back, don't wake the sleeping tiger, or your head will really fly and be separated from your body."

"Ohh... just imagining it already scares me." Said Helena, who was already walking fast, and returned to the bed.

The night that made Helena feel tormented, she couldn't sleep well. It seems that only Helena's body is lying, but time is still running. And the night changed to the twilight sky. Which began to indicate a new day was waiting for both of them.

Louis. Let's say he's a perfect king. Not only about his good looks or his strong character.

In fact, he had woken up early when Helena had just closed her eyes.

Helena was really wretched. She didn't know and didn't realize that there had been a lot of activity going on in the king's room.

As usual, the palace maids were ready to serve the king, preparing his bathwater, clothes, even hair styling.

Some palace maids look frowned when they're looking at Helena, who was still sleeping soundly and even snoring.

But why hasn't Louis woken up his empress yet?

"Have you prepared clothes for the empress?" asked Louis when he had just put on his long black coat.

A maid bowed respectfully when Louis gave her a sharp glare.

"We have prepared all the needs of Empress Helena, Your Highness. Do you want me to wake her up?" asked the palace maid and still kept her face down.

"No need, and leave us alone," Louis answered firmly.

The maidservant straightened her face, "What, Your Highness? You don't want to wake the empress? Or do you want someone else to do..."

"Did I ask for your opinion? Are my orders not clear?" Cut Louis immediately, the palace maid closed her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I will leave the two of you." She said and began to step back, to leave the King's room.

Louis approached the bed.

There is a new message received by Louis. A Message from Andrian while he took out his cell phone.

**Message from Andrian

Your Highness. My handsome king. I have found the main culprit. Get ready! I'll be there in ten minutes.

"You bastard, it turns out that he can be relied on."

"Was what happened last night the work of Dilara or Emira?"I can't let my guard down. Because James Chayton is in an advantageous position right now."

"This thing annoying me!" Louis said angrily but his gaze returned to Helena's back.

"Is she some kind of bear? Why did she sleep so long?"

"Ehemm...." Louis deliberately cleared his throat loudly, he wanted to wake Helena in his own way.

Helena hasn't woken up. Instead, she just straightens her body. Allowing Louis to see Helena's face, which still looks beautiful while sleeping.

"Obviously! She's very young, dammit . . . am I like a psychopath marrying a kid?" Louis thought annoyed.

"Ehemm... ehemm..."

Again, Louis deliberately cleared his throat loudly and seemed to have managed to make Helena's eyes seem to twitch.

"Hmm... why is it so noisy? Harika... I'm still sleepy, may I take a day off today?"

"I've learned so much, I've even memorized all the royal rules in just two days. I beg you, Harika! I'm so sleepy, please don't disturb me!" Said Helena, who was raving. She forgot that she was currently in the King's room.

"This woman... Huh? Hey ..! Empress Helena wakes up! Are you going to sleep all day? Or are you actually some N?" Louis frowned. He didn't like it if Helena looked so childish.

"You need to wake up early? As an empress, you should show your best service to me as your king!"

Louis, who had lost his temper, removed the blanket that was still covering Helena's body. Hoping that Helena would wake up, without him being rude or anything like that to Helena.

"Oh, Harika! Don't you know, last night I couldn't sleep," Helena start said with closed eyes.

"I don't know. How strange it was. I felt like I kissed King Louis's lips. Then we were very close. Hah... we almost to do..." Helena said still with a smile and closed her eyes.

Suddenly, she realized that what she said just now wasn't a dream, and after that, Helena slowly opened her eyes.

"Wait... looks like last night wasn't a dream. Me and King Louis..." Helena said as she straightened up while Louis was still beside her, watching seriously.

"So ... you're awake now, Empress Helena?" asked Louis in his characteristic deep voice.

Hearing Louis's voice made Helena feel goosebumps, and she turned towards the source of the sound.

She is looking at Louis' face very closely. Every side of his face looks firm but still stunning.

Glek...

Helena swallowed her saliva with a panicked face.

"Oh... Which other gods and goddesses will help me this time." Helena muttered with a smirk that she forced so that she could give it to King Aarez.
