The Emperor's Prisoner

29

It was still early in the morning, but I was already preparing to head to the treatment room. Last night I accompanied Mr. En to never have time to visit Cila. So before breakfast I'm ready to meet him. On the way I saw a healer carrying a bowl of medicine.

 

“ hail concubine “ homatnya.

“ whom will you deliver this medicine to?” who knows if this medicine is for Cila.

“ oh, this is to the waiter from the harem” palace he replied, I smiled at him.

“ give it to me, I also want to meet him” while receiving that bowl. I also asked her her current condition. The doctor said his body still needed some medicine to smear his wound. In addition, drinking potions are also needed to make his body energized. What a pity my little servant, endured this painful thing because of me.

 

Au walked slowly towards where Cila was. When I got to the entrance of the room, I stopped for a moment. There Cila was lying down and to my surprise, there was also a man, who I believed was Lu's brother. Looks like he was guarding Cila last night. So it's true what Mr. En said. Why didn't I realize it all this time.

 

I walked over, and put the bowl on the nightstand next to the bed. Not intending to wake them up I decided to leave them. Wait for the right time to ask directly to Brother Lu.

 

“ where have you been?” on my return to my palace, Mr. En was already preparing to eat. A table full of my favorite menu.

“ I intend to visit Cila, but,” I was silent for a moment and sat down next to him.

“ why, is there anyone there to take care of it?”

“ sir En already know?”

“ is pretty clear to me” is arrogant once. This confident attitude of his was long-time irritating.

 

Breakfast this time went well and peacefully. Although we have not completely made up but Mr. En is trying to improve this relationship. I really appreciate that. In my heart, too, it turns out that what he said that night was really real, not just nonsense.  

 

After the meal I stayed alone, relaxing on the back balcony. Watching the bracelet I found. I'm still wondering if there might be a clue as to who the rebel leader really is.

 

After a long time of observing, it did not seem so foreign to me. I don't know what makes me recognize this bracelet. I went back and forth, observing every jewel and part of this bracelet. The longer I feel like I've seen this before, but when and where I'm still groping.

“ where ya?” lirihku still keeps thinking about it. I went back and forth once again might make me remember this.

“ wait” I found if it looks like this bracelet has a pair, the bracelet pendulum is a half pattern, it should be this bracelet paired.but it could be if this pendulum is split. I really can't find any leads.

 

The day keeps changing, tomorrow is Mr. En's wedding day. Since the morning it has disturbed my mind. I just spend time eating and lying in my palace. Lazy to do anything.

 

Cila has moved to be treated in his room, his condition is quite good. I was really happy when I saw him walking into the harem palace yesterday. I told him not to do any work until his wound was completely healed.

 

On the table the room was full of fruits. Tomorrow is a big party, the celebration has been going on since 3 days ago. Since then also Mr. En never visited me. He'll soon forget me.

 

I took the bery fruit, I haven't seen it in a long time. This fruit is quite rare and not many have it. When I lived in the village, I often found this fruit growing wild in the forest. I often bring it to me. Didn't expect that today's new can eat it back. Bery's mom reminded me of something.

 

 

I was sure, the color of this gem was so beautiful and caught my attention at that time. Red as this bery fruit. I stood up to remember this.

 

“ why this bracelet can be there? is it possible that the rebels are mother killers?” shirihku. I have to find the truth. But how. I walked back and forth thinking of a way to find the rebels. But they couldn't answer it, even I would have killed them before asking the truth.

 

“ the only way is I have to leave the palace. Being outside the palace will make it easier for me to explore their existence” but Mr En still has not told me the truth, do I have to wait for him?. No, master En doesn't seem to intend to say it. This bracelet is the main clue. If I manage to get to the truth, then I'll know who's behind my family's massacre.

 

“ mistress why walk pacing?” Cila walked into the room with a drink.

“ I've said don't do any duty, you're still hurt” I took the luggage.

“ I'm already okay madam” replied. His face looks fresher. He did not lie about his condition.

“ looks like madam is confused” after sitting in the chair next to me.

“ em, do you think if I go from the palace what will happen?”

“ why does the madam have to leave the palace?” he looks panicked.

“ is not, I mean, the sentiment, if only” I wouldn't have told him. He feared he would be punished more cruelly.

“ if the madam goes from the palace, I also come along. We are not family,” is also true of his words. If I leave him in the palace, it is likely that he will be subject to royal punishment.

“ actually I've been wanting to find out who killed my family for a long time, the only thing that kept me alive was the crown prince's promise to me. He said he had information about it.”

“and today I found an important clue that led to his killer, so I decided to leave the palace and look for the whereabouts of the killer. I need to know the reason behind the massacre." I continued

 

Cila already knows most of my past. I told him so he wouldn't have to worry about me. I used to be an ordinary citizen, then a servant and now have a position as a member of the kingdom. So he must have understood what I meant.

 

“ so madam has decided?” I nodded confidently.

“ when will the madam execute this plan?” he whispered.

“ tomorrow, because it is likely that tomorrow the security of the kingdom will be a little loose due to the arrival of many guests. We disguised as wedding maids may be able to get out of the palace “, I replied with confidence.

“ tomorrow the mistress is required to follow her celebration, how to?”

 I went back to thinking, it's impossible to be in two different places. They'll notice if I'm not seen in the celebration.

“ in the middle of the celebration I will pretend to complain if my stomach hurts and ask for retreat, so they will not be suspicious. How?“

“ I think it's a good idea mistress, “

“ but, did the madam really already sure of wanting to leave the kingdom, what about the crown prince?” he asked back. I also have a dilemma. But my existence here won't be forever either. The palace is not my place.

“ he must have forgotten me soon. Especially with the presence of the crown princess will definitely distract him”

“ mistress,” Cila grasps my hand tightly. To encourage me not to be sad. I know I might regret my decision, but I wouldn't have calmed down if I couldn't figure out who the killer was. If there is a destiny for me and Mr. En will definitely unite.I return the grip of his hand. We strengthen each other.
