The Emperor's Prisoner

12

... ...

“ did Mr En fire the emperor?”

“ I can't answer. Anyhow it could be my dad”

“ I can understand the feelings of Mr. En, I also lost both my parents. “ Mr. En hugged me lightly. Swiping my back. Our views are clashing together trying to strengthen each other.

 

“Zen, may I ask you?” I nodded small.

“how do you look at me now, after all the misunderstandings that happened before?” he took off his embrace. Staring at me so deeply.

How I looked at him, I still can't be sure. So many unanswered questions made me still vaguely see the sincerity of Mr. En. Between trust or alert. Between truth or coercion. I can't explain it.

 

“Zen..” stopped all my thoughts.

“ I can understand. You don't believe me yet, there's still a grudge in your heart against me. I just want to say that how this will continue, you can't hate yourself. Be strong and follow your conscience” his maniknya grind something. Is it possible that Mr. En already knew the end of all this. It seems that Mr. En has gone through a lot of problems. His words are so deep.

 

“ we get so many game animals, we can eat amps satiated tonight” kak you have come, our conversation stopped.

“ brother Lu is great. Let's prepare api” I go and approach your brother excitedly.

 

After dinner and strategizing, the five of us were busy preparing the bed. I really don't know how to prepare myself for an open-air stay. I could only observe them, yet they didn't seem to have much preparation. Directly lying near the campfire.

 

‘for if there are wild animals approaching, are they not afraid ‘

 

“Zen, come. Sleep next to me” said Mr. En. I see the place is not much preparation either. Just a piece of worn cloth that had been prepared next to him. While the back of Mr. En there is a tree where we leaned this afternoon.

“ iyya tuan” I approached and sat next to him.

“ lie down, “ while patting her thighs. Make it a pillow for me.

“ Mr En how?”

“ I'm used to” pulling my body to lie down immediately. I had no chance to refuse.

“ I'm your husband now, don't worry about anything if you're with me”

Quite comfortable, this position I never got before. I am grateful to be able to feel it now but can not deny if this trip is really tiring. Riding a horse all day makes my feet ache. The fact of Suki's death has hit me mentally, now the physical is experiencing the same thing. Tiredness just attacked me. Khusyu’ natural sound, became my sleep accompaniment melody. Above the same moon looks so beautiful with its perfect circle. I haven't seen a moon like this in the open. The peaceful feeling made me start to sleepy.

 

****

 

In the middle of my sleep, I woke up in Mr. En's voice. I see they're ready. Oh no, I forgot the plan. Segara wakes up and follows Mr. En. This night trip worried me more, because only with the light sober we had to pass through a pretty steep road. Mr. En just look up on the horse, I'm a little fascinated.

 

“while longer we can see the gate of his headquarters. We took a different route. Remember not to be discovered, take everything that can be proof” shouted Mr. En to us.

 

And right, we can vaguely see the light, that's where we're headed. After putting up the face cover we chose to part ways, Mr. En and Brother Lu parted ways by bringing one spy by his side.

 

“ we can pass the west part of the gate, the noble” exclaimed the spy.

“show the way”

After we got the three of us off the horse. And began to sneak into the headquarters.

 

The atmosphere is quite quiet, maybe the west is not an important place. Like a spot of flushing. We entered a room not far from the gate. It's full of crates and big wooden boxes.

 

 

After that now the biggest box that Mr. En opened. At first I didn't know the contents of the box, but Mr. En seemed surprised to make me ask. It turned out to be explosive powder. How appalling. The kingdom is ready to face all these attacks. The mastermind of all this can't be an ordinary person.

 

“ you keep looking for any weapons they have prepared, I will look for their bookkeeping” said Mr. En made us split in two.

 

After that, Mr. En and I left the room, moving to another room that looked brighter and more luxurious. The building is two-storied with stairs at the front.

 

“ Zen, watch your step” for too long watching the building distance between me and Mr. En be a little far away.

 

Once inside the building, it seemed that the guard was tight. No matter what the building is, we managed to enter through an unlocked window speed. Sneaking around and trying to recognize the items there, until we faintly heard footsteps.

 

We hid behind a large table in the corner of the room. From there we learned that someone had entered the room.

 

“ put where this report?”

“ were you not told, just put it on his desk tuan”

 

Looks like two people came in. Mr. En was a little looking for a gap to see the situation. I can only be silent not to make a sound.

 

“ if in the closet?”

“ yes already put there, so be one with another”

 

Master En was still watching until the two of them left. After giving instructions to get out I saw Mr. En directly walking towards the closet. Maybe that's what I mentioned earlier.

 

I scanned the rest, opening every box. There was an object that interested me to see, a bracelet with many pearls.it was stored so neatly. I don't know why I didn't want to give it back. So I decided to just take it.

 

“ Zen, help me save some of these books”

“ ah, yes “

 

After a long time of not finding anything else, we intend to get out. Suddenly a loud voice sounded.

 

“ intruders,,!!”

One of us is known to exist. The atmosphere that was originally calm now changed instantly. A group of people carrying swords and torches ran eastward.

 

“ Zen, come out through the road we passed earlier, I will follow. Looks like Lucien is having trouble” I nodded and immediately parted with Mr. En. It seemed like indeed all the guards were focusing on the main gate.
