The Emperor's Prisoner

season II, I

Enrick POV

 

“ noble, are you okay?” Lucien limped towards me who was sitting helplessly. It's not much different than me. The sword had already struck his back and legs. They are really trained.

 

“ I have to chase them” is not at all willing if I have to part back with my Zen. It's been almost 4 months not met, now have to see her go pregnant, no. I'm really not willing. Releasing Lucien's hand that was deliberately holding me back, and began to chase after them.

 

“ noble stop, look at your body. “

“ I don't care Luc”

“ you can't catch up with them, wait until the wound heals. We will bring concubine back” in a desperate condition like this indeed Luc always managed to change my mind.

“ let me help your highness.” Cila memapahku enter, while Luc can still walk despite having to limp.

 

After a long period of treating the wounds and changing clothes, it immediately rushed to find traces of the rebels. It was possible with this to know the direction of their escape.

Since meeting Zen in a state of memory loss instantly made my worries increase. It's true that he was with his mother, but in Zen's body there was a part of me. Zoya has hated me so much that she even sent me a black curse. With the new truth he knows, I hope he still has the sense not to hurt his own daughter.

 

Dusk began to appear as I returned to the residence. Not a single trace of them was left behind, their traces were completely clean. I don't know where they're going now can only leave it to fate.

 

“ noble, where have you been? Your wounds have even just been treated” Directly in droves with Lucien babble.

“ pack the goods. We return to the kingdom” my orders are absolute.

 

Indeed, knowing that Zoya has been alive has made me distrustful, but knowing that she is also the mastermind of the rebels is something to do with it, I am not so surprised. It can still be linked. I don't know why I feel a little awkward. Rebel terror was supposed to take place after the massacre. But no, the terror lasted even before the murder of Marcus { Zania}'s father at the temple.

This is complicated, if the rebel group belongs to Zoya, it means that there may be other groups who take advantage of this situation. That group must have been planning Marcus's murder back then. All these suspicions will end. The only way to find out is to return to the kingdom. Because everything comes from Darishana. This is the red thread I found.

Right at noon the journey to the kingdom was completed, already nearly half a month disappeared without any news. The problem of the loss of Zenia can no longer be covered. Somehow the situation of the harem palace in dealing with this matter.

 

“ crown prince, good thing you're back. The emperor was so worried about you” this woman long ago irritated me. Doesn't he have a job other than tailing me.

 

“ return the princess, and rest easy I just returned from the imperial palace” walked away from her.

“ wait your majesty, is there something you need?”

“ no” provide guard code to hold crown princess.

 

Immediately entering the bath, it felt like my head wanted to break. How could the kingdom know that Zen was the daughter of a rebel group. Although this was still an issue, it still made the emperor even more suspicious. Fortunately, I can overcome it by saying that Zen is being kidnapped by rebel groups. At first I wanted to cover up wherever Zen still needed his mother's whereabouts. But the longer this situation goes on I can't handle. Whether Zen or his mother is on the opposite side, I can't protect both.

 

It seems that in the kingdom there are quite reliable spies. Zoya hates the kingdom so much, so it's impossible to share information other than the armory. Looking at the speed of the information spread, it might be true that my guess is, the other group actually came from the palace. I need to find out right away, is it possible that the empress knows something. He's the most suspicious person.

 

“ Luc, send people to find out everything related to the empress palace”

“ well noble”

 

The more days the empress position gets stronger in the royal order. Even leaving only striking positions such as the prime minister. The emperor could not have known it. The position of the prime minister from the past was a confidant of the emperor, not even anyone dared to harass him. The emperor is quite arrogant and arrogant, I know clearly how my own father behaves. There's a gap I can get into. The Emperor most dislikes lying, especially about the position. Tomorrow night maybe I can visit him in person.

 

“ noble, it's late. I brought you a snack. You didn't even touch dinner.” The crown princess is back. Looks like I have to give the order to forbid him from entering my palace.

 

“ this is noble, try me to make a special for you”

“ put it there, and go”

“ noble, try” he tried to bribe me cake. It's hard to make him understand that I don't want to be disturbed by anyone.

“ noble, open your mouth”

 

I faintly smell an unfamiliar scent. This aroma is commonly used by Lucien when making herbs ‘night’. Several times I used it on Zen so I recognized this scent a little. My gaze lifted on the crown princess. No wonder he insisted on forcing me to eat it. He was smart enough to take advantage of the situation.

 

“ princess, it's true you made it?” pulling my body into leaning against the back of the chair.

“ i,iya noble”

“ emm, then try.” She was worried, not expecting me to make such a request.

“ s, I tried it earlier”

“ I want to see how you eat. Eat” he has no choice. Despite the slight hesitation, princess Luna still put it in her mouth.

“ spend “

“ I don't,”

“ did you reject my request?” he's flailing fast. Real nice.

 

He thought I could be fooled this easily. No. gabe. He had the wrong idea he could trap me. His position is indeed increasingly threatened, even rumors of Zen miscarriage are still attached to him. That was indeed my original plan, making his position only limited to status. There is no power or feeling. Let him feel how harsh the royal environment is.

 

“ already?” she seems to have trouble swallowing the cookies.

“ you know, seeing you eat like this, makes you more beautiful “ she blushes in shame. Slap-bang.

“ it still there are some more cookies” in the container leaving 3 cakes.

“ I've full noble”

“ emm, okay. Guards!” the princess looked confused.

“ here, eat all this cake” looks a look of rejection on Luna's face, but she did not dare to make a sound.

“ good noble. “ in a flash the plate is empty.

“ you take the crown princess back to her palace. Don't come back before you turn off that princess actually slept” princess Luna frowned slightly. Maybe the medicinal effects are starting to work.

“ princess please, sleep a quiet” display a smile of satisfaction. I hope he enjoys a small reward for daring to set me up.

They both walked out of my palace. Enough to waste my precious time. I'll continue to check the other files immediately. Until I found a sealed letter. This thing was supposed to be from Morgan. There was an urgent matter what made him send this letter.
