Rubia who had reached her tired limit finally fell asleep beside Ferderick, her hands still faithfully embracing his hands, had been living for days and had just closed her eyes while her body was still sitting.
Not long ago he began to close his eyes heard the sound of someone knocking on his door, the sound continued to repeat even though he did not get an answer from the occupants of the room, until finally the sound was so disturbing Rubia, he finally opened his eyes and got up and walked to the door.
After Rubia opened the door she saw the Empress in front of her "What are you doing?" rubia said with annoyed eyes.
The empress ignored his words and instead opened the door of Rubia's room wide and then she stepped into the room, her steps halted when she saw the attacking man lying on the bed, "I said what are you doing barging into an Emperor's room?" his tone of voice is high.
The Empress looked at Rubia "You said you were an Emperor? Is it not wrong? Shouldn't an Emperor be in the study and take care of the territory he leads? So what are you now doing in the room for days waiting for an unconscious man without eating and drinking, you shouldn't have put this dying man in your room so I wouldn't be curious to hear the rumors that became among the servants and bodyguards"
"What did you say? The man who almost died?" Rubia felt very angry with the words of the Empress who thought it was very presumptuous. "Go, I don't want to serve you, and never say a word about Ferderick, or I'll really make you regret giving birth to me"
"What's? You dare say such a thing to your own mother for the sake of a man? Indeed well the relationship between the two of you from the beginning has been wrong, I regret that I continue to let him be beside you, the man who is only looking for a gap to seize your heart because you are an Emperor, he said, see now that you're like this just because of him"
"I've said enough, don't you understand human language? You can say bad things about Ferderick when you don't know what he's about, you don't know what he's done for me, do you know how he got this way? Let me tell you not to continue to misunderstand and spread the words that hurt her, she she has already unleashed my curse, the curse of the imperial family, and what have you done for me? for Empire? do you understand now the difference between you and him!!!" he shouted as he pointed at Ferderick with glassy eyes.
The Empress looked silent, she was really shocked by what Rubia said "It's impossible" she kept shaking her head "There may be a Man who seems capable of obliterating a curse"
Rubia grew angry "Guard, take the Empress out and do not let her go back into my house" cried Rubia, as the guards took the Empress away from her.
Rubia again sat down next to Ferderick, her tears were still breaking and staring at Ferderick's face "Wake Fer, get up, I'm tired, I'm tired of living like this, I don't want to live huaaaaa" he said as he sobbed, a week had passed but Rubia could not get out of her room.
Then Rubia began to remember the words of a saint she met three years ago before her death, she said that if the time comes you no longer have the desire of life then you just need to survive, he said, such was the speech of Saints who predicted his future before finally dying.
Rubia started to straighten her back "Do I really just need to hang on?" he muttered "Fer, if I hold on, will you wake up?" he asked the unconscious Ferderick.
Tok Tok, Sire, it was time for dinner, said a lady-in-waiting who was restless because for days the food was often rejected, then Rubia opened the door, "Bring in" heard him make the lady smile, grinning, he immediately brought a food trolley into the room and prepared it on the table.
Rubia sat in front of various foods, she fed her mouth with a blank look, her tongue could no longer feel whether the food was good or not, she just thought she had to eat and survive.
After finishing eating Rubia out of the room, people were surprised to see her appearance, Rubia continued walking regardless of the response of others, she entered into her study, she was in her office, there he saw a stack of documents that filled Irena's desk, until Iren was unaware of Rubia's presence.During this Irena never complained even though until midnight like this she still had to work in place of the Emperor who was falling, Rubia really felt very very bad, really, he felt he was not a good Emperor, he was just an Emperor who could not distinguish his personal affairs and responsibilities, Rubia approached Irena, when Irena saw Rubia he immediately stood up and greeted.
"Just now, why are you still working this late? How many hours do you sleep in a day?"
"Ahh, you don't have to worry, I sleep for two hours every day, that's enough Sire"
However, Rubia saw blood dripping from Irena's nose, Irena who noticed it immediately wiped her blood with a handkerchief and made her nose stop immediately by clogging her nose "Go get some rest, I'll finish the job"
"I'm fine Your Majesty"
"Rest, you can take a day off tomorrow, use the time to take a full rest"
"Are you serious, Sire? But.." Irena still saw Rubia's pale face.
"It's an order" he said with a flat face.
"Okay, Sire, I will do as you command" Iren stood up and walked out of his desk.
"I'm sorry and thank you for all this time"
Irena stared at Rubia's face inside in "Baginda, can I hug you?" Rubia felt strange, Irena like she was not the self she knew, but Rubia nodded, Irena hugged Rubia with a heart, slowly patting Rubia on the back "You've tried hard Sire, everything will be fine" Rubia felt very moved, her feelings really improved just by someone saying the words she most wanted to hear and hugging her, she said, right let's stay and everything will be fine, Rubia reaffirmed her determination.
After Iren Go Rubia focused herself on getting the job done as quickly as possible one by one meticulously, apparently if someone focuses his mind elsewhere that is more useful such as working the wound in the heart is nothing as long as someone survives and prepares to face the problem it is more than enough.
There he saw a report of the Count's dominions written by Ferderick , he again thought, Ferderick has been here for a week but his family did not look for him, why? He was also thought to take Ferderick to his house because after all his family deserved to know his true condition.
