The Emperor's Prisoner

49

Almost as I shouted, the man took out a small knife then raised it high, then pulled up his sleeve, without hesitation scraping his palm. No blood flowing from there. In front of him was already a small bowl used to hold the blood coming out of his hands. Although not to the fullest, but it was quite terrible. Half a bowl requires a lot of blood. Wondering what he put his blood in there for.

 

Moments later he picked up some cloth to wrap his hands and clean the knife. Strange behavior is not yet finished, he brought a doll and papers wrapped into the doll clothes. The incense he lit. There are also some blue eggs. And some other things I don't understand.

 

He tried to light a fire with paper, bringing the paper closer to the candle flame that was on the table. It's magical! the fire produced by the paper was blue. There is no other blue color. Bring him closer to the doll. Put both of those things in one bowl.

 

Making the doll slowly burn blue fire, then added some drops of blood heas the doll burned. The smoke that was caused by so much clumped just above. Then somehow it can move quickly through the wall. The smoke disappeared instantly, and the blue flame that burned the puppet earlier vanished.

 

A few times rubbing my eyes was it true that I saw this, it was truly magical like magic. These offerings and all sorts of strange things strengthened my mind that this might be a forbidden practice of magic.

 

Uhuk,,

Uhuk,,

There was a coughing sound from there, the person coughed loudly. Even his back was bowed low. It was as if his body had become weak after performing magic.

“ are you okay?” a man came in and approached the man to help him walk.

The guy didn't say anything just obeyed the guy who was wiping him out. I watched carefully the posture of the man was really familiar, I knew him.

 

‘ isn't it,’

One by one the secrets of this group were revealed. Starting from the existence of the headquarters, their close plans to the whereabouts of the mother here. And finally, I just saw it for myself. The practice of forbidden magic was somehow his purpose. Don't let them know that all this time I've been a member of the kingdom, it's possible that the opportunity to divulge all this to master En could be lost.

 

“ we're back, you need a rest” vaguely they walk away.

I came out of the closet, feeling the situation was no longer dangerous. Approaching the show table. Staring one by one the goods there, up to the blood bowl. The blood really made goosebumps. His sacrifice was no joke.

 

Don't want to stay here too long, I have to leave. Let no one know that there is no one in my room. Even waiters. Everyone here is unbelievable, they've been working together to hide all this, especially with new people like me.

 

‘ huh,,’

Congratulations, I can get out safely. Walk fast without making a sound.

“ miss, where?” the breath stopped for a moment. Pimply. I flipped my body, a servant standing on the stairs. Looks like he's just coming down.

 

“a, I wanted to call you, but since you walked downstairs, so I paused. It's going back to room”

“ where you were?” my continue.

“ s.i from madam” room fortunately just the reason was right. What if it turns out he's new from my room, my history is over. Today was pretty lucky.

“ mom has gone home, where is her room?”

“ mistress is resting, please miss do not disturb first”

“ I to the room first”.

 

It's getting dark. My ethics are waking up from sleep. After witnessing that strange thing I lay down my body and ended up falling asleep. There is food at the table. The waiter brought it while asleep meant. Because hunger is suddenly disturbing, so move closer to the dining table. It still feels a little warm, so just eat it right away.

 

“ Zen,,” mom enter the room.

“ mom is back?”

“ just now, you're looking for mom yes.”

“ yes, why did mom go so suddenly?” putting down tableware. Focus on talking to mom.

“ there is little business outside” cover it from me. From now on I have to display an innocent Zen figure. Maybe you can open up a little with me.

“ oh, mom already ate?” continue eating the food that was delayed.

“ already, you eat. I'm happy to see you eating that meal” smiled at me and rubbed my head slowly.

“ here the food is delicious, so Zen always spends all” talking while chewing.

“ forgive mom, can only find you now. From now on mom will start to replace all your suffering. “ a big smile is all I can give now. Though it is sad to see mother like this. It's like taking him away and living a normal life like he used to. Stay away from all these weird problems.

“ mother, what happy mother married the chairman?” his face suddenly I then stung with anger. Now we are facing each other, holding hands.

“ happy mom, very happy”

“ mom has forgotten dad” I said sadly. I never talked about dad all this time. This time I want to see how you react to my question.

“ for a second mother can not forget your father” her voice vibrates but firmly. Like his angry emotions were related to his late father.

“ if Zen wants mom to leave all this behind. Starting a normal life like before, with Zinia. Do you want?” bead mom looked at me inside. A second later the water melts out of the lake. Mother seemed to hold on as per that heavy.

“ no, mother can not return as before” her head bowed while wiping her tears.

 

“ why, ? Zen wants to be with mom only” hugs mom tightly. Seeing a mother who is so fragile when it comes to dad, makes me sad. Years of father's death still left deep wounds in the mother's heart.

 

“ Zen, whatever happens. I just want you to be happy.” Replying to my embrace is no less tight. His hand was stroking my back many times.

“ Zen also want happy mother” I can feel mother's shoulders getting vibrated. The crying is getting louder. Makes the hug hold up long enough.

 

After that conversation, I stayed longer in my room. I asked him to go to bed tonight. Repeating the habits of the past that are so missed.

“ you are big enough now, it is no longer time to be accompanied by mother when sleeping” we are lying comfortably covered in bed.

“ but Zen longs to be accompanied by mom while sleeping” hugs her tightly.

“ yes,, yes, come here.” laugh satisfied. This moment makes me so happy. If you can stop the time so that this does not pass immediately.

“ daughter of spoiled mother,,” kiss my forehead slowly.

 

Tonight was so happy to be able to spend time with my mom. Joking casually, a warm embrace can also be felt back. Mother is a warm and loving person. I don't know how it could have turned as drastic now. Who turned my mother into this. What makes my mom so happy. I can't let it, just look at it later. I'll save mom from bad influences.
