The Emperor's Prisoner

42

Some time on the run, the three of us hid in the middle of the forest. There is a small hut that can still be used. My arm was wrapped around a cloth to block the bleeding. Soon it was dawn, only to be able to come out of this hiding.

“ Zuka, forgive us for getting you and your sister dragged into this problem”

Ares sat next to me. His words sounded full of regret.

“ she's my only family. Now there is no one else” answered me weakly, trying to draw his sympathy.

“ I will take revenge, do you know who killed my sister?” I kept fishing for information. You have to take good advantage of the situation.

“ one of them is the crown prince, even so he should have opened the rightful successor of the kingdom. If you want revenge on him come with us. “

“ alright, anything I will do”

 

After hearing their words, it made me both surprised and curious. They hate Mr. En so much, even saying he is not the rightful heir. Actually what I don't know, now is not the time to conclude something. You should find out as much information as possible.

 

**** 

After coming out of hiding, Ares took me on a journey. I don't know where he's headed. We rode almost half a day across the mountains. My body is numb, now there is no one I can tell stories to. Can't deny my mind is still worrying about Cila's situation.

 

Early in the morning I accidentally went back to where Cila was last left. There was no body, a little relieved that maybe Brother Lu had saved him.

 

The three of us did not rest in the slightest, even midday still continued to travel.

“ hang on, we'll be until the afternoon” Ares is so worried about my weak condition. He even told me to ride with him, but I had to refuse. Don't let him recognize my woman's body, before it's all clear. This identity is so threatening if caught.

“ don't worry” my saut weak. Just drink a few sips of water when starting the journey.

 

Sure enough, in the afternoon we arrived at a building with a high wooden fence. His position was in a mountain valley, so hidden. Before entering Ares was like giving a code, after which the fence was opened slowly. It's not so crowded, but there are a lot of guards in every building. Maybe this is the rebel headquarters or the blue fire group that Mr. En said.

 

The guard there looked at me for a moment, before Ares approached them. Then they both had a long conversation. Perhaps seeing Ares carrying an outsider made them a little wary.

 

After quite a long time Ares finally invited me in, while Gala somehow went where. Since entering, it has taken a different direction.

“ you need to see the chairman, tell me your intention is to take revenge. It is likely that he will receive you” Ares said before taking me into one of the buildings that are there.

 

The situation here is very similar to the rebel headquarters that I had entered first. The building and some other equipment made of wood, but looks quite sturdy. Each door here has a guard.

“ come,” take me into the room that is on the second floor.

This room is quite large, a long table is in the middle of the room. Then enter and arrive at a door at the end of the room. Ares tapped slowly.

“ in,” out from the inside

A middle-aged man welcomed our arrival. He looked straight at me.

“ chairman, reported last night we were ambushed by Enrick, fortunately only helped by Mr. Zuka. So you can escape. But dear brother Mr. Zuka was seriously injured and eventually died. “ the chairman just watched silently, before finally nodding slowly.

“ mister Zuka wants to take revenge for the death of his sister, so I brought him here” the chairman then stood up to me.

“ so sir Zuka?” ask chairman.

“ yes, I will do anything to get revenge this” I replied sure. From the appearance of the chairman looks not too creepy, but his sturdy posture seems to reflect the authority and assertiveness in him.

“ are you sure ?” I nodded immediately.

“ well after this you follow Ares' words. He will be your partner here” chairman then sit back. Gave Ares a code to leave the room. Although a little relieved but felt something strange.

 

“ the chairman is indeed not a bad person, he always pays attention to us. Makes us feel the warmth of family.” So it's like this. I had even imagined that there would be a series of special tests to get into this group. It was far from my prediction.

“ come in, your wounds must be treated” once entered here reminds me like I went into the treatment room. The smell of medicine immediately greeted me while at the entrance.

“ Ares who did you bring?” a woman came out of the room while carrying a bowl of potions.

“ treat him, his arm hurt” then Ares go straight away. I looked at this woman awkwardly.

 

“ sit.” Following orders.

“ where's your length?” this woman is a little cold to me, very different when there is Ares.

“ what's your name?” I try to open up the conversation.

“ mia..” the answer is short.

 

After a while my arm was wrapped in bandages. And had drunk the potion from Mia. This woman looks beautiful with her smooth white skin. I think he has an interest in Ares. From her body language so different to mine.

 

“ is done, ? Zuka came with me” Ares suddenly appeared from the entrance.

“ don't you need anything else?” Mia is approaching Ares.

“ no,,” Ares mala act a little cold to Mia. What is this love clapping one hand. It's so cassian.

 

I stood up and took Ares' steps. He took me in the back room, sort of like a little cottage house.

“ while you stay here, after starting work you can move”

“ do you also live here?”

“ actually doesn't, but since there you are, it may take a few weeks to give directions to you”

“ here there are 2 rooms. You take it first.” Ares.

We went into the cottage, not too small. I took the front room. The lighting is not too bright, so it is precisely/once with my circumstances that I have to hide my identity.

 

After giving me a few breaths of Ares's suit left me alone in the room, giving me time to rest. Just take off your clothes and go to the bathroom. There is no tub soaking, so you can just sit while pouring water. It's refreshing for a long time not having a shower makes my body really sticky.

 

“ food is ready, “ cried Ares while I was changing clothes.

“ alright in a minute I will be out.”

 

The food menu here is so simple, there is only a vegetable menu. Even the side dishes only have tofu and eggs. Because this hunger has been held up for so long makes this food look so delicious. Just sit down, there's Ares.

 

“ you cooked?”

“ no, here already have your own kitchen section”

“ oh,”

Don't want to delay mealtime, I'll just eat this food. Now there is no need to be shy anymore, being a man makes me more free in eating. I need to thank you for my appetite. At least it makes me look normal to be a man.
