The Emperor's Prisoner

52

Since opening my eyes I have felt alien to this place. Everything just seems to change. Nothing I know, just my mom. Actually what's been missed, I can't remember anything.

“ mom, why did we move here? “ we were having a light conversation in the back garden.

“ yes, this is your stepfather's home. “

“ he's a rich guy huh, keep what happened with Zen?” I seemed to think, long time no answer to the question.

“ emm, you fainted for 2 days. You are pregnant now. Due to fatigue so your body is weakened” mother stroked my hand slowly.

“ Zen is still small why can it contain?” is mom joking. I'm only 13 years old, where there are 13-year-olds who can conceive.

“ Zen is big now, Zen age is almost 19 years.”

“ but why does Zen not remember anything bu?” the harder I think, the more I wake up suddenly I'm almost 19 years old. It's magical really magical.

“ because Zen is pregnant, later after giving birth must remember all”

“ oh so, Zen just found out, hehehe” the wind here feels cool, feel at home for a long time here with mom.

 

“ Zen, nyo, mom, you guys here?” a man approached us. The same guy who entered my room yesterday.

“ him who's bu?”

“ she's your husband, Ares “

“ but he's ugly, Zen doesn't like it. Zen wants a handsome husband” why I chose him as my husband. His face is not attractive. I aspire to have a handsome husband when I grow up.

 

“ zen can't be like that. He is your husband. That's polite ya.” Mother advised. But I don't know why I really don't accept him being my husband. I have to find another man to be my husband. A handsome and rich man.

 

“ sorry” great-grandchild

“ is okay. Let's enter. The more daylight, the better you go to rest. Your body is still weak” ares helps me stand up. I'm holding my stomach, there's a little baby, so from now on you have to be careful.

 

After entering the room, Ares continued to help me up the bed. Pulling the blanket and rubbing my head slowly. Until I really fell asleep.

 

“zen, I want a successor. Boys from you”

“ zen, come eat with me.”

“ zen, I told you to watch your step.”

“ I like my bold Zen, but not tonight,,,”

“ zen stay here tonight.”

.....

 

Waking up with a thumping chest, even this breath was hunting. I had a strange dream, who was the man in my dream. He kept calling me. Why do I feel calm around him. Together with him I look happy. That figure is a big question for me. Especially it seems like there I was in the noble neighborhood. It's so grand that his room. It's a strange dream. And that guy is so handsome. If that really happened, I would be happy. Being his wife must be fun.

 

“ have you woken up my wife?” staring at Ares long ago, my husband this is why I feel so foreign.

“ did I really marry you? It must be because of coercion.”

“ em, no. We love each other. Surely you forgot, later after giving birth you must remember our love both”

“ why can I accept you?how did we meet?”keep on asking him questions. It was as if I doubted all of his words.

“ I'm notoriously kind so you melt me, “ why his bead looks weird. He blinked one eye at me. Ih.

 

“ days are dark, let me help you eat “

“ no need, I can myself”

“ you are pregnant, be careful when walking”

 

****

It's been a few weeks, now my stomach is getting bigger. According to the healer, she was 3 months old, I even forgot my baby's age. What kind of mother am I. Ingi immediately gave birth so that he could remember everything.

 

A few days ago my mother told me we were moving. Because the atmosphere here is not suitable for people who will have children like me. They say if the house is actually on the mountain, everything related to labor will be difficult to find. Do not want to happen bad things when giving birth later, then the mother and father decided to move places for a while.

 

This is indeed true, the journey to get down is just so tiring. I had to get on the stretcher but keep on keeping myself from hitting the stretcher wall. Inevitably this is the safest way, the road is also a little steep and winding. Fortunately, nothing bad happened at the foot of the mountain. After that my mother and I got on a horse-drawn carriage. I don't know where they're going to take me, which is important with mom, my heart is calm.

 

“ zen, wake us up until” mom patted me on the cheek slowly. My journey spent sleeping, it felt so hard.

“ emm, already up ya” rubbed my eyes.

“ let's go down.” Mom get off first. When preparing to go down the leg suddenly hurts when moved. I was numb from walking all the way.

“xen's feet hurt, can't move” I shouted

“ for a minute, mom call Ares first. “

 

A few moments later we heard footsteps approaching.

“ you are okay, here I will carry you” initially want to refuse but I undo it. My legs are really hard to move.

 

So now Ares is holding me in front, like a bride. Carrying me up to the porch of a house. This place is pretty good, everyone laughed. This two-story house, in the front there is a wooden fence and a garden and a spacious front yard. After that the balcony of the house which has several chairs and tables. In the courtyard there are 2 sakura trees that are quite large. It's exquisite.

 

“ mom, this house is very nice. Zen like”

“ wow, I'm so happy to hear that. You know this is a gift from your father to his grandson”

“ thanks dad, you're so good” dad suddenly hugged me tight. Although I know he's my stepfather but because he's rich I like him.

“ equally my daughter,,”

“ let's go in.” mom called us from inside the house.

 

Dad helped me move, I saw Ares was dropping some of the things we brought from the train, with the help of 2 male servants. I felt guilty for speaking rudely to my husband yesterday.

 

“ how's Zen?” we were in the living room of the house.

“ wow, that's beautiful. Lots of flowers on the table. The chair also looks comfortable. Help Zen sit there dad.”

“ Yes ,,yes, caution”

It feels good to have a home this good.

“ my husband come here you must be tired” Ares who just came in with luggage.

“ later, there are still many jobs outside” he replied.

“ em, there are still maids. Here sitting next to me,”

“i,, yes well,,” she looks awkward and a little scared. Is it possible because my previous attitude made him keep his distance from me.

 

“ mom saw the kitchen first, “ mom and dad left, stay me and Ares only.

“ are you thirsty?” little nod to him.

“ I get a drink first ya” ares enough attention, maybe this is why I received it first. Starting now should be grateful to be able to get a husband as good as him, attention as well.
