Two days later.
After receiving a summons from the Emperor a day ago, Kaisan came to the Palace.
Tok tok tok, "Baginda, Mr. Kaisan Stewart is coming" said a guard standing guard in the Emperor's study.
"Come in" he said as he walked towards the door.
Kaisan entered and as usual he gave the official greeting to the Emperor "Sit down" Rubia sat down first on the sofa.
"How's it been all this time? You've grown up since the last time we met at a festival, haven't you?" rubia said as she looked at Kai, Kai seemed embarrassed to remember the embarrassing moment.
"I'm sorry for what happened, Sire"
"That's it, that's all gone, that's not why I called you"
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I want to apologize to you for what happened to your brother, your only family, Ferderick Stewart"
Kaisan gasped, an Emperor apologized to him with a look of despair, didn't he hear wrong? "You don't need to apologize, Sire, I know that my brother is doing a secret assignment to a faraway place"
Rubia was stunned, she looked with pity at Kaisan who was still plain "What is that Ferderick saying to you? Secret assignment? Haahhh.so all this time he had planned it alone" arrived Rubia's face was getting sadder.
"I don't understand what you mean Sire" Kai looked confused.
"Even though Ferderick doesn't want you to know the truth but I can't hide it from you, actually Ferderick is in the Palace now"
Kai was surprised "Are you serious? Why did you lie to me?"
"That's because for him it's the best, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't realize he would really sacrifice his life for my sake"
"What do you mean? Sacrificing lives.." Immediately Kaisan's body became trembling "It's not like I imagined, is it Your Majesty? Please tell me everything"
"Well, so I've been living my life with the curse inside me, slowly my body aches, the pain gets worse by the day, the only person who can eliminate the curse is Ferderick, he said, but he could lose his life if he did that, for these three years he's been away from me, I think he doesn't care anymore because I want him to live without thinking about the curse, he said, but only recently did he come back to me as if nothing had happened between us, without realizing he had come to give his life, I who did not know what could only welcome him with a smile, I could not see him, forgive me" Rubia bowed bitterly telling Kaisan who was the only Ferderick family.
Kaisan was bowed in lethargy, he could not say a word, wanting to blame the Emperor for what had happened to his precious brother, but he realized that even now the Emperor was helpless,even the Emperor looked very devastated, as this was the wish of his own brother without the consent or coercion of anyone.
"How could Big Brother do this to me" he murmured softly as he held his head "I'm a fool, how could I not be the least bit suspicious of what you're doing, starting from learning to be a head of the family, learning swordsmanship and learning all the things that must be the ability of a head of the family"
"Ferderick did that?"
Rubia rubbed her face with both palms.
So all this time he's never left me, all he's done is for me and the people closest to him, I'm so stupid for not being able to guess his way of thinking, I was a fool for thinking he was living happily by ignoring me.
"Baginda, where's my sister now? Is he dead?" he said hesitantly and fearfully.
Rubia shook her head "She's in my room, she's still breathing, but she can't get up, I don't know what's going to happen, she can get up and she can't"
"May I see him, Sire? I will try my holy power, ahhh." his words stopped, he remembered that he should have hidden the fact that he had holy power.
"I guess only Ferderick has holy power, it's you too?"
Kaisan looked at Rubia's face "You already know?" Rubia nodded "What would my feet not do if you knew?"
"Somehow, no, you don't have to worry, there's no more compulsion for someone with holy power like you to serve the palace, don't you already know that?" Kaisan nodded. "Follow me, I'll take you to see your brother"
.
Rubia opened the door of her room, Kaisan followed her in, she was so surprised to see her sister lying on the bed unconscious, she stepped closer "Sister, can you hear my voice?" of course there was no answer, then Kaisan let out his holy power over Ferderick's head, slowly the look of his face getting fresher.
Rubia approached "His face is getting fresher, I should have told you right from the start that Ferderick wouldn't have suffered so much"
"It's okay, Your Majesty, maybe Big Brother is happier to stay by your side, but may I bring Big Brother back to the Count's residence? So that I may more easily give up my holy power periodically Your Majesty?"
Rubia looked silent, to be honest she was not willing to part from Ferderick but it seemed like the best option to see Ferderick change after receiving holy power from his sister, but it was the best choice to see Ferderick change after receiving holy power from his sister, indeed, basically he had planned to return it to his family even though he was still doubtful "Alright, do it like that" he said with a heavy heart.
"Thank you for your understanding Your Majesty, you can come to the Count's residence at any time" Rubia nodded in agreement.
At the same time Kaisan brought Ferderick home in a chariot and the best escort from the palace, Rubia accompanied him to the Count's residence, he kept Ferderick comfortable in the chariot. From that day on, the news of Count Ferderick Stewart eliminating the Emperor's family curse was widespread, everyone felt grateful to Ferderick's sincere sacrifice to their Emperor who was the future of the Empire they lived in, they all continued to pray for Ferderick's recovery.
A novel with a writer who hides his identity, a novel that tells the story of Emperor and Count Ferderick Stewart, is very popular in the market, everyone wants to have the book.
Rubia read the book in her study, all very similar to reality, who wrote it? he had no interest in knowing it, but like any romance novel in general, Ferderick's ending is waking up again and they both live happily ever after, isn't that so cliche? But Rubia hopes the ending of her life is exactly the same as the novel, she considers the author really wants to make all her readers pray for Ferderick's recovery. Rubia closed the brown tome with a cover image of herself and Ferderick looking at each other.
