The Emperor's Prisoner

11

“what do you mean mr En said they deserved?”

“they are royal servants so they deserve to protect the members of the kingdom, they are entitled to sacrifice for the sake of the kingdom.” I can't read where this conversation is going.

“you guys are really mean, you guys are just selfish!” I can no longer afford to be just smitten in front of them.

“they've all known these consequences before, do you think I cheated them?”

 

“j.so they know they're going to die?” my voice began to weaken,

No one answered. Both Mr. En and Brother Lu were silent. Staring at me as if to imply that the answer is yes. Does that mean that Suki also knew that she was going to die. No. gabe. My head started to lighten, dizzy. This footing is like treading on a mud pit that seems to suck my feet.

 

“Zen, looks like you need a break.” The voice seemed to be buzzing in my ears. For a long time I felt a touch on both of my arms.

“So Suki.. Diaa..”

“Zen, don't think too much, calm yourself”

I looked at Mr. En, he was so close. His face was flat beside me. My reserves are now turning on both hands as if they are refuting my body. I feel fine as to why Mr. En looks anxious.

 

“we return to room” without my consent I'm in a carry to room. My energy is exhausted. I'm just following what Mr. En did. Lose me, pull the blanket and caress my face. That's all I remember before my eyes closed.

 

The breeze on my teeling made me realize. It was so late, the cold got on my skin. I started to sit down but I only realized that there was a hand wrapped around my stomach. I turned my head and found that Mr. En was sleeping next to me. And he looks bare-chested enjoying his sleep.

 

Afraid of waking up Mr. En I carefully moved his hand.

“ um, why are you waking up these nights?” I can't believe he woke up this fast. I could see his sleepy eyes with that alluring without.

“i can't sleep”

“still think of Suki?”I nodded slowly.

“what lord En would not mind to tell me all of his happenings?” it seems like Mr. En is reluctant to talk about this matter. It was with him not answering my question and starting to sit the same as me.

“ there is a time I will tell you everything, but not now, I am disgusting it is not, if your ability and you are ready all these secrets will I reveal” his hand caressing my soft cheek. His manicure tells him that he promised his words.

 

“but it will be long Mr. En” try to negotiate.

“no, if you are determined to solve everything. Trust me” was silent for a moment. We looked at each other. Trying to dive into the attachment of the gaze of his manic full of mystery.

 

“zen, believe me you're so precious to me” she held my hand and pulled it towards her lips.

“do not think too much, now you must focus on training yourself.” Just a small nod I can give. Even though there are still many questions that Bellum answers in me, I have to wait patiently.

 

Afterwards, Mr. En pulled my body, hugged me and leaned my head against his chest. So safe and comfortable, I could hear Mr. En's slow and peaceful heartbeat.

“now we continue sleeping” take me lying in the same position. Hugging me still makes her arms a pillow. I feel privileged. The treatment is so soft.

“ you're awake?” I nodded as if I was lazy just to say something.

“ get ready after this we will switch places” nodded again. Resignedly.

 

 

After enough preparation I went out into the courtyard, there was already Mr. En and brother Lu who were talking. They were staring at me.

 

“we leave “ exciting Brother Lu.

Just like when I came, Mr. En one horse with me or rather he took me on his horse. The pace wasn't as fast as before. Maybe the situation is a little safe so there is no need to hurry.

 

At least I know the plan from Mr. En. Before leaving the inn, Brother Lu explained to me that the plan to go to Swen city was actually camouflage. They want to trap and find out the new base of the rebels.

 

“ how is the current development?” asked Mr. En on 2 people dressed in black. It seems they are royal spies.

“we've been monitoring their movements and now their headquarters has been found, the noble”

“ tonight we put together a plan to enter their headquarters”

“ well noble”

 

At the moment we can only stay in open space. The journey to the rebel headquarters did not use public roads. Must pass through the forest seta up a few hills. Fortunately, before leaving I deliberately wrapped some food, actually this food I prepared for myself because since the afternoon until this morning I still have no appetite. And now it seems to be very useful.

 

“ thankfully the lady brought this food, otherwise we certainly do not have the energy to hunt” said your brother while chewing food from me.

“ because brother Lu eats the most, so have to hunt a lot for me”

“ no problem, I am very proficient in hunting”

 

Afternoon began to come, Brother Lu and two spies have gone hunting, stay me and Mr. En. The two of us were not involved in much conversation because Mr. En was seriously looking at the map of the headquarters from the spy. Occasionally ask me how I think and more often silent to think for myself.

 

“ Mr En, actually since when did this rebellion occur? ” we're leaning under a big tree. A peaceful afternoon, even the blowing wind was quite calm. Makes the heart more calm.

 

“ this first happened when fatherand climbed the imperial seat, some officials were involved in corruption, some in the law were only partially revoked office and status. Moreover, most of the officials were families of the empress' mother.”

“it looks like the empress of a fairly open person, although there have been such incidents that have not affected her love for emperor”

 

“the current empress, is not the mother” she said weakly. It raises a lot of questions in me. Even though I've been with Mr. En for a few years, I really don't know the truth. For a moment I tried to see how Mr. En looked, I was afraid that this would make him sad. But after finding out something else I can conclude that Mr. En is strong enough there is no anger or sadness. His face was so calm there was no expression.

 

“so the empress is the stepmother of Mr. En. Did Mr En already know how the figure of Mr En's birth mother?”

Only a sledgehammer, if according to the history of the current emperor riding the throne when he was young, there are even those who say if the emperor does not have a concubine or wife.

 

“ I can only know his name. That I got from a woman who said she was a mother's servant, the next day when I intended to ask the whole story, the woman was no.”

“ why did Mr En not ask this to the emperor alone?”

“ already, and all I get is anger, the emperor absolutely does not believe all my words even reject all my stories.”
