Hurts! Shopia Empress
eps. 67: The Madness of Emperor Raymond
Concubine Lucia smiled, finally she was free and returned to her room. He looked around his room, the scent of Emperor Xavier filling his room. He could not wait to see Emperor Xavier.
"Where's Sire? Is he coming to visit me?" Ask Concubine Lucia enthusiastically. "O yes, quickly help me meet with your Majesty." On the other hand, he sauntered off to the bathroom. His loyal servant just looked down. He would not have said it, if what freed Consort Lucia was not Emperor Xavier's wish, but Duke Alerix's request.
"Follow me, help Concubine Lucia get ready."
The two servants followed the loyal servants of Concubine Lucia. There was no sound, Consort Lucia simply enjoyed the rubbing and scent of roses on her bathtub. After cleaning up, Consort Lucia is in makeup. She was wearing a green dress with her hair draped.
"Honey, we'll meet with your Majesty. You must miss me, right." Her babble while stroking her stomach.
"Concubine, there's Duke Alerix who wants to meet Concubine Lucia." Said the servant who looked down.
"Let him in." Concubine Lucia stood up, she stayed away from the dresser because it had finished beautifying her body. "Dad." Welcome him when he sees the man who is none other than Duke Alerix with a smile on his face.
"My daughter." Duke Alerix hugs Concubine Lucia. Then kiss her forehead. "How are you? I'm sorry I was so late knowing that you had to be locked up in there. I spoke with Your Majesty, it is fortunate that Your Majesty has released yourself."
Concubine Lucia momentarily fell silent, digesting the words of Duke Alerix. "Father who spoke to His Majesty," said Consort Lucia reassuring her hearing.
"Yes, Son. Father asked His Majesty to release you. He has the heart for you, even in a state of pregnancy, Your Majesty can punish you. You have to be patient, son. He has not forgotten Empress Shopia. Em, there's one thing you want to ask me. Is it true that you pretended to fall to trap the Empress?" ask Duke Alerix. He fully believed in his daughter, if the words of Emperor Raymond were not true. His daughter will not be determined.
Concubine Lucia smiled blandly, her chest like it was pierced by a dagger. Emperor Raymond listened only to his father's pleas. Not him, that was how much Emperor Raymond cared about him.
"I think Your Majesty will care if I'm pregnant, Dad. Right, I framed the Empress. I did it because of the Empress's wishes, but she doesn't know my plan father."
Duke Alerix was stunned, his lips suddenly stiff. His daughter did something indecent. "Why can you do this, Lucia?" Duke Alerix rubbed his face roughly. His daughter was so stupid that she even did something that she hated Emperor Raymond. "Huh," Duke Alerix urged, why can you do it? You know, Your Majesty loves the Empress. Who wouldn't fall in love with Empress Shopia's charm. Besides being beautiful, she was gentle and authoritative. Everyone knows it, maybe your Majesty used to be unaware, but now, he's aware of it."
Concubine Lucia lowered her head with trembling shoulders, she cried regretting her actions. Had she changed, had Empress Shopia returned. Would Emperor Raymond love him? He was afraid, he was afraid to face the truth. "I'm afraid Dad, I'm afraid someday Your Majesty won't love me anymore."
"For an Emperor there is no reason to have many wives of Concubine Lucia. Don't be greedy, Empress meritorious, including me. He helped me once, my life would have been almost lost if it wasn't for the Empress. Rice is already porridge, fight. I'm sure your Majesty will love you. Especially now that there's a successor inside your stomach." Duke Alerix hugged his daughter while stroking her back. "Take care of yourself."
Seconds have changed minutes. This day, Consort Lucia was silent in her room. He intends, tonight will meet Emperor Raymond. Apologize to him. I hope with this apology. The two relationships are no longer far apart.
"Everything is ready, concubine." Said the loyal servant who stood beside Concubine Lucia who had finished dressing her up.
Concubine Lucia took a deep breath, relieving her nervousness. "Come on!" Take Consort Lucia to step into Emperor Raymond's office.
"Consort." The Knight who was in front of the door of Emperor Raymond's study looked down respectfully.
"Is His Majesty there?" Ask Concubine Lucia.
The Knight was agitated, Emperor Raymond was inside that looked chaotic. Twenty bottles of his lord had already been spent, his mouth always mentioning the name of Empress Shopia.
Concubine Lucia felt doubtful, she wanted to enter, but seeing the Knight's unease. He intends to set his good intentions.
"That's it, everything's gonna be fine."
Concubine Lucia opened the sturdy door, slowly her feet coming inside. His eyes sharpened, looking at the several bottles of Wine and the chaotic-looking Emperor Raymond. The man gulped down the red liquid straight from the bottle.
"Sheel." Concubine Lucia ran, holding the hand of Emperor Raymond who was about to drink Wine. Emperor Raymond's eyes glanced at a hand holding him back. His teeth trembled as he knew who was holding him back.
"Dele !" Emperor Raymond's shout shook his arm, but the grasp grew tighter and tighter. "Dele !" The impact again while standing, until the bottle of Wine was thrown several meters to the floor. "What did you come here for? I don't want to be disturbed by anyone. It's too bad that stupid knight let anyone in."
"I beg you to stop, Sire, for my sake for the sake of our son. If your Majesty wants to find the Empress, I would support your Majesty, but I beg you not to be like this."
Emperor Raymond laughed gurgling, his tears coming down without asking. "I've been looking for him, but I haven't found him. I was wrong, I was wrong, why I just realized, if I love her, I need her." Emperor Raymond threw away the finished bottles. He sat down rough in his chair, squeezing his hair. "I'm stupid, I'm stupid."
