The Emperor's Prisoner

14

I fell silent, still trying to believe Mr. En's words. Is it true that Suki is like that, I find it hard to believe her. Then why would he sacrifice himself.

 

“Many things we need to talk about, after this problem is over I will tell you everything” interrupted Mr. En, want to calm me.

 

By late afternoon we had entered the city of Gorbala, your brother's condition had improved, only his strength was still weak. We entered a residence with many guards. They have all been told not to tell the truth, everything is in accordance with what Mr. En ordered.

 

“ you take care of Lucien, he still needs medicine for his wounds “ orders Mr. En on the group of healers.

“ and prepare the same to Mr. En” cut me. Mr. En is not okay either.

 

I entered the same room as Mr. En, helping him to clean himself up as well as applying medicine. From now on I have to make Mr. En forget his worries about my trust.

 

“ you've worked hard, my Zen is smart now”

Our conversation at the dinner table, it's safe now, there's no more chasing action like before.

“ I have long followed Mr. En so it is a little used”

“if it wasn't for your preparations to escape, maybe we wouldn't have survived. Then in exchange you want what gift from me?”

“ I don't want any gift, but if,, sir doesn't mind I want Mr. En to explain about Suki”

 

There was a sense of ferocity on the look on Mr. En's face, but then took a deep breath. It seems that Mr. En has already decided .

 

“ alright” I looked at him, ready to listen to all his stories. I've been waiting to hear all the explanations.

 

“As I've said before, Suki's been trying to tease me. At that time he managed to make me angry, so I immediately met the punishment. But then he said that he had been someone's puppet all along. His sister was being held captive so he had to obey someone's orders. So he made an exchange if I managed to save his sister he was willing to do anything to make up for his mistake.”

 

“ who is someone ?”

“ I don't know, all this time they communicate by mail. From the letter that I can find the whereabouts of his sister, fortunately it can come on time.”

“ now where is he?”

“ the woman who sent the food earlier was cila, the sister of Suki”

“ can I make it my servant?”

“ sure, Zen”

 

This morning the relief group arrived at our residence in Gorbala. According to Mr. En's prediction. Right now they are meeting with Mr. En, brother Lu his condition is good enough and has started doing his duty as a bodyguard.

 

“Cila, have you ever been to the palace?” we were having a light conversation in the garden. It is quite large and so beautiful.

 

“ has never been noble, since childhood I only lived in the village” he replied

“ from now on I make you my personal servant, so after this we enter the palace with”  

“ really is that noble, I am very happy. Thank you, your majesty”

‘ I will try to keep your brother Suki ’

Finally I could feel this soft mattress, after muffling with freshness all day and eating delicious dishes, lying down was the right choice. I miss all this comfort. Even Cila and the other servants I have forbidden to bother me until tomorrow morning

 

A few days had passed, I was still observing the bracelet I found earlier. Some parts are made of iron and other parts have pearls. I'm sure this isn't an ordinary bracelet. I'll find out for myself, lest Mr. En find out. I don't know why my feelings tell me that.

 

This week the basic archery training has passed as a beginner I quickly catch the lesson. For a dozen feet I can still reach him. Thanks to Brother Lu who was so hard in training me, it is indiscriminate, I have often complained that women need a lot of rest but never once did Brother Lu grant it. So ruthless.

 

This afternoon I intend to visit the crown prince's palace, however I must honor and serve Mr. En as my age. At least until dinner there I'll go back to the harem palace. I don't know if Mr. En is out or in place. Usually the afternoon work will be a little free.

 

“ noble, said the guard Mr. En will only be back tonight” said cilla after I ordered to inquire.

“ well we go there now just wait a while is also okay”

“ well noble”

“ oh yes no need to bring a group, let you accompany me”

“ but, good noble”

 

Finally, taking a few snacks with me to the crown prince's palace. I visited early to read a book there. I admit Mr. En's book collection is quite a lot and interesting. I used to be most happy if you told me to clean the reading room, I could spend a long time, because it could steal time to read.

 

“ please enter the noble” said the guard so knowing my arrival.

I tread carefully, this oversized shirt makes it difficult for me to walk. Cilla quickly helped me to lift some parts when climbing the stairs.

 

“ cilla help me enter the reading room, your highness crown prince”

“ noble seems to have often come to me”

“ I used to call the crown prince with the title of master even though until now, but if talking to others now my name changed”

“ the noble one is close to the crown prince, like a pair of lovers”

“ cana now we've got a couple, so it should be near”

“ I often hear if the nobles married not because of love, so many are unhappy.”

“so do you have someone you love, if yes I will wave it to you” start my pranks.

“ why his majesty even asked me like that” he pouted, adorable tease this boy.

“from your sentence about nobility, it means you want to marry someone you love, right?”

“ of course, if I marry only the man I love”

“ so is there someone?”

“ ihh noble, I still want to accompany and serve his noble concubine here”

“emm, don't you want a royal man, so you intend to linger here?”

“ b, like noble, what a servant dare not”

“ hahahahaha,, you're worried about cilla once. I was just kidding” I saw her face turn red, she was really embarrassed for being stuck in my prank.
