The Emperor's Prisoner

40

 

Not long after, I saw a man in a flower mask. Oh no 3 men. Each brought a couple. But why would one of them have the same body as Mr. En. Did I think about it so much. No, it seems like it is indeed Mr. En.

“ Cila seelh towards the bridge, there are 3 couples who wear flower masks. Why do I see him like Mr. En,”

“ which one is kak?”

“ it was who wore dark clothes, walking in line with his partner”

“ oh that, the very back is also like the Lu” bodyguard

“ don't-don't,,,” we look at each other, as if having the same thoughts.

“ we observe first,”

 

At first glance there is nothing strange with the 3 couples, both enjoying the party. If indeed it is true Mr. En, it turns out that he is quite reliable in seducing women. Several times his partner laughed off, even treat it quite convincingly. Hand in hand, hugging and laughing together. My heart starts to feel hot, if later back to the palace must remember to ignore it or give him punishment. May attend celebrations with other women. Cila was also no less sad, her hands kept clenching with anger. Often even breathes rough. We're outcast women.

 

Not wanting to be carried away by emotions, now the view turns on the third man, from his stature is quite tall and thin. I can't figure out who's behind the mask. Seems like not a royal person, never seen this figure before. He also looks older.

 

They kept heading towards the middle of the bridge, we pretended to pick a mask on the pedangan roving. Our distance is very close, hopefully we can get as much information as possible.

 

A woman with a flower mask approached them. As if to point the way, they walked towards the other side of the bridge. Cila and I followed them, not to lose track.

 

They kept walking and went into a restaurant, we entered. There are quite crowded, this restaurant is terraced. Because it is blocked by a crowd of visitors so it is difficult to follow them.

“ brother,,” voice Cila left behind.

“ hey, I'm here,” gives a signal for my whereabouts. Cila had trouble finding a way. His small body more often bounced when colliding with other visitors. I finally approached Cila.

“ ayoo” helps Cila open the way.

 

Too late, Mr. En and his entourage have disappeared. I don't know where to go. Everything looks dead-end.

“ sorry, so lost crown prince”

“ is okay, we go up maybe they go there”

 

Climbing the stairs, on the top floor the atmosphere is a little more regular. Not as crowded downstairs. Looking for an empty table, but it's all filled up.

“ brother, isn't that Ares and Gala ?” pointing to a table next to a large window. Almost jutting into the balcony. We decided to approach them. It might be possible to find the whereabouts of Mr. En. After all, their table seemed empty with only 2 people.

 

“ Ares,” my handkerchief

“ this I Zuka “ see the look of confusion, as if realized if currently using a mask.

“ oh you guys, come sit with us” are lucky that those who offer you a seat.

“ you guys don't bring a partner?” ask me to start a conversation.

“ we are not interesting enough “ Gala replied while taking drinks for us.

“ you guys are also invisible carrying a partner?” it was Ares' turn to ask.

“ actually we already have a partner, but did not bring it here” I replied casually. The truth is so. Our couple even took someone else to the celebration.

“ men should indeed be faithful” Cila replied with full confidence. Maybe he was still upset by what he saw. Brother Lu with another woman.

“ yes, agree” we toast each other and start ordering food.

 

Talking to them was pretty exciting. It doesn't even care about Mr. En's existence. Maybe they're renting a room or I don't know. Their existence just disappeared.

 

“ you guys have any need to come to Laqaka city?” ares' question made me think hard for a moment. What reasons are suitable for me to give.

“ emm, our parents died shortly, so look for the remaining relatives here. But it turns out we did not find anyone” tumben once Cila can give this good reason.

“ oh, we are sorry, then what are your plans ahead?” Gala looks so empathetic to the story that Cila made.

“ we don't know, “ I replied weakly. Go on a show so they can believe.

“ what if you guys just come with us. We are orphans too. We have a suitable place for you?”

“ what place is it?”

“ kind of people's organization. That's where we get the job. All of you can help other yakim children” Gala so eager to invite us.

“ emm, “ me and Cila look at each other. If you follow them how I find the rebels. But their advice is not bad either.

“ we will think about it” only that I can say. They understood enough by just smiling in response to my answer.

The conversation continued until near midnight. All sorts of stories and jokes they keep giving. They seemed to have no malicious intent, so we were comfortable with this meeting.

“ wow, it's late. We better go back” Gala said that while moving from her seat. It was fortunate that he did not order wine, so he did not have any difficulties like other visitors.

“ come,,” we walk together down the stairs.

 

Because our directions are the same, so keep walking together until at the end of the intersection. Tonight was quite fun, finding something else while doing a tense mission was enough to help restore the atmosphere. When we were about to part, we felt like someone was following behind us.

“ how is the celebration?” the four of us turned our backs.

“ who are you?” Ares started to mount a defense. I was so shocked by what I saw. This group of people is Mr. En's entourage. They were ready with swords in hand. What do they mean by all this. Cila looked so frightened, and hid behind my body.

“ we just want to ask you” group Mr En is getting more advanced, making us more cornered at the intersection.

“ ask what?” it was Gala's turn to ask. Both Cila and I are still trying to digest the situation. What business did Ares and Gala get surrounded by Mr. En.

“ come with us, talk on the road not good” it brother Lu. I recognize his voice.

“ don't expect”

 

Ares and Gala pull me and Cila to run towards the turn. Mr. En's group just kept chasing. Several times I caught Brother Lu by pulling my clothes but I can throw it. We keep running. In any direction you can take.

“ you can't escape”

We're at the end of a dead end. Can't run anymore. I would love to unmask, but then Ares and Gala would think that I and Cila are one group of Mr. En. From my estimation I think Ares and Gala have some connection to the rebel group. That is why they were hunted by Mr. En and Brother Lu. However, the situation must be able to make Ares escape, so the rebel headquarters can definitely be found.

 

Fights are inevitable, our opponent is 3 people, Cila can hide without the need to join the fight, lucky enough. Master En against Ares, brother Lu against Gala and I against the mysterious man. He is quite reliable, can only avoid. Keep avoiding it until I'm cornered. Almost the sword tore through my chest, when Gala managed to smash through it with wood. We don't use any weapons, just rely on the surrounding stuff.

“ are you okay?” nodding confidently, immediately stood up with an iron can not be from where I fell as a weapon.

 

The situation is quite detrimental, I know how the ability of Mr. En and Brother Lu can already judge that will definitely win against us.

“ big brother,,,” Cila yells running towards me. I got hit by a sword, it hurt.
