The Emperor's Prisoner

17

In the middle of the night I woke up, the night wind coming through the window managed to keep me awake. I sat down and realized that Mr. En was no longer beside me. After satisfied “utilize me” he is no longer visible. I got Mr. En's black satin sleeping robe. Walking into the living room I seem to know where Mr. En is.

 

Approaching the middle room I vaguely heard someone talking. If the estimation is not wrong it seems like it is the voice of Brother Lu and master En. I walked slowly and found a place to hide.

 

“ I started to know their plans. Have you got the information I want?” that's Mr. En. I know very clearly.

 

“ already, your honor. Based on the information that included Suki in the servant list was the empress. Even directly put it in your room server.”

“ are you sure Lucien?”

“ I dare not lie, your majesty. Suki also frequently entered the empress' palace in several full moon”

“ seems like my guess is right, what about the writing in the book that has been found?”

 

“ from the writing graphologist did have similarities with the handwriting of the letter that Suki received. So maybe the one who wrote the letter and the book was the same person”

 

“ does cilla not provide any information?” wait, they're about to link Cilla to this. What they are hiding from me. I need to speed up the training. It's free if I ask him now, a deal is a deal.

 

“ he did not realize that he had been a prisoner all this time, which he knew that his brother worked for his master outside the village. “

 

“ so he does not know if his brother works in the palace does he not know if Suki is gone?” how could he not know, but all this time it was cila never look sad. So it's likely that she didn't know about her brother's death.

 

“ does not seem to be noble”

“ it is better not to meet too often with Cila, have someone watch her, who knows the empress tries to use her”

“ well noble” sounds footsteps getting away, the conversation is over.

 

I walked quickly without making a sound towards the bed, lest Master En know if I heard their conversation. After making sure if I already looked like a sleeping person, I heard a rare foot in. Fortunately, my position lay sideways, I could hide my face.

 

Soon the bed swayed, signaling Mr. En was on the other side of the bed right behind me. I tried to calm my breath as much as possible to make it normal. A hand has landed on my stomach. I know who it belongs to. His breath hit my neck.

 

“ I don't know if you're good at eavesdropping” he whispered. I stiffened for a moment, how did he know. I remain silent not to be provoked by Mr. En's words.

“ won't admit it?” his movements are getting more intense. Smells all over my neck. I don't want to lose, still pretending to be asleep.

“ alright, “I started to worry. What he's planning.

“ no,,” I shouted and I instantly stopped his hand. He already won. I turned my body back to my back, with a happy face she pranked me.

“ why did you wake me?” I'm still continuing my craft.

“ Zen, I know you've been up since, even.”

“ what do you mean Mr En?”

“ explain to me how people sleep wearing clothes “ done already. I forgot to take off this satin robe. Stupid jerk.

“ eeeem, s.s.I wear this because of the cold was continuing to sleep again” only this reason that comes to my mind, whether I can believe it or not.

“ so because of cold? All right, I'll warm you” this is not what I want. But I also can't admit that I eavesdropped on their conversation. I have resigned.

 

 

Some days I've been busy training self-defense skills without weapons. It's been almost a week I've almost finished it. I'm trying hard, I should be able to get everything that Mr. En has promised.

 

Because I know if the information about it is getting more and more, I don't want to miss the plan with Mr. En. I'm determined to be unanimous, this grudge must be avenged.

 

“ Zen notice your movement, focus. “

“ brother Lu don't worry, after this I will be able to beat you”

“ don't be arrogant you just learn self-defense not martial arts”

“ hehehe, once cocky is not why” I was in the field beside the forest. Master En's special place to train his body first.

“ you don't rush everything you learn is just a basic lesson”

“ yes-yes Lu”

 

You could say Brother Lu is too hard to train me, all this is indeed me who asked for it. The time that Mr. En gave was only one month. At first Brother Lu refused because it was impossible to force himself. After a long debate I finally agreed to my wish.

 

I'm very ready to begin this act of revenge, lately Mr. En or Brother Lu is a little different to me. More attentive and pampering me. His hard attitude was only surface.

 

“ noble dinner is ready” after hearing the talk of Mr. En I am also more alert with Clla. I was careful and began to look carefully at his movements. I don't want Suki to be lost anymore. Where I don't know anything about my own servants.

 

“ I'll be there” soon I'm reading a book. A few days ago Mr. En sent me his book collection. Maybe it was because that day I reminded her that I liked reading books so much that I sent her a small portion of the collection.

 

“ good noble” walk towards dining table. As usual, Cilla would eat with me if she knew no one else. I can't eat all this food. I also know how the menu of the waiter's food, really can't bear to remember.

 

“ noble, it has been a long time not to visit his highness the crown prince?”

“ why ask?”

“ I see a noble relationship is not bad, but why rarely visit?” cilla and I are used to talking, so it's no wonder she asks questions like this.

 

“ young women like you why pay attention to adult relationships ? Do you want to marry Cilla?” there's really nothing wrong with the question, but I have to cover this up. If it's true that Cilla is the empress' maid I can get into trouble.

 

“ t.no noble, I have sassy asking like that” he looks scared. I feel guilty.

 

“ Cilla, I didn't mean to scold you, I thought you were my sister. But do not let you act outside the royal order. A little information is much better for you” however I should still protect her, Suki sacrifice as soon as I remember.

 

“ good noble, your advice today will always I remember”

After dinner, Cilla helped me change clothes. During his service he did not talk much. He seems like a pretty obedient kid. Maybe someone used it. She's so innocent, she doesn't know the news of her brother's death. It could be that this will hurt him. I need to figure out how to tell him.
