The Emperor's Prisoner

06

I walked towards my room, until I saw some servants standing at the door with food. I know who the food is for. It was like seeing something wrong. Why are they so worried.

“ why are you guys still outside?”

“ noble,” saut them along with giving me the way.

“ what's the problem?” continued

“em. That Miss Zen won't eat since morning,”

I sighed, I shouldn't have locked her up all this time. He must be sad to know the truth of his past. Coupled with my punishment, it made her hate me even more.

“you just go and bring the new food”

 

 Since opening the door, I haven't seen anyone in bed. I turned my eyes towards the balcony. I think he fell asleep there. Why is he so happy to sleep in the balcony?. I approached him and held him. After putting it on the bed I entered the bath. Soak up and think about how to overcome Zen's attitude. I'm still worried about whether I should take it off or explain it. This patient was with me for almost 7 years. I no longer even felt pain when I was injured, it felt like my body only recognized pain when the curse came.

 

After finishing the bathing business, Ku only wore satin black pants and tunic. Some of the visitors came in with dinner. I saw Zenia still calm in her sleep. The eyes are covered with black and lemtic eyelashes. Her lips are so beautiful. Yeah, i. So admiring her beauty.

“ zen.. Wake up” while riding on the bed and shake his body slowly.

“ what do you want?” just for a moment the originally closed eyes were now wide open glaring at my collar. He sat down a little and held the blanket tightly.

“ eat first then you can continue your sleep” away from him and sit on the chair.

“I'm not hungry” that short and back to lay his body.

“Didn't you want revenge, eat it you need power” but he didn't move.

“I hate you”.

“I know”

 

Then we just kept quiet, the room was so quiet. Only the sound of plates and spoons clashing. I decided to spend dinner. Even though I'm still worried about him. I think I need to find a way to make him eat. Since. Some days I see him eating very little, and I'm not surprised by that. The news hit him mentally.

“ if there is something you want to ask please” I know him since from earlier steal a glance at me.

 It seemed to be true, he folded up the blanket and pulled his body into a sitting.

“why, why did you kill my mother and the villagers?”

 

Zenia POV's

He pulled the corner of his lips. I saw him stop his eating.

“ why? I didn't even kill them”

Her statement really surprised me. Is he joking. I read clearly the contents of the letter, how he was still evasive. Their deaths were just a joke to him. Is my life a game. Is he playing me.

“ don't try to lie to me”

 After that, he looked straight at me.

“ you think I can't read, obviously you told to kill them all” I started to get hooked on emotions. I even said it without a breath.

“ what's written there? Did I write to kill the villagers?”

As if to look at me, it is indeed not written by the villagers. I can't be influenced by his words. He could be trying to shift the truth.

“ but why is everyone dead !?” my yelling.

“if you want to know, you can start by sitting here and eating”

He didn't seem intimidated by my anger. He went back to eating.

 

My breath was already irregular I wanted to slap her casual face so badly. No choice, I went down the bed and sat in front of him. Take some food with rough. No matter the man who looked at my behavior with a proud smile. He managed to make a meal, there was no choice.

“Eating slowly, I know you're hungry” cih, he's still mocking me. This time, only this time I will follow what you want.

 

“ so what's your explanation?” after finishing the meal, the table was clean and we both sat down. There were only two cups of tea accompanying us both. I see him so calm. There was not a hint of anger on his face. Is it true that he's not the killer. Then who's responsible for the incident.

 

“I already said it earlier, it was not me who killed the villagers” his hand casually took the teacup and sipped it slowly. He was so calm, there was no doubt. I don't think he lied when he said that.

 

“then who's the killer?” trying to stifle my emotions. Why asking her to talk is so draining of my emotions.

“I don't know” I'm looking at him sharply. Trying to digest as much as he wants to tell me. Why beat around like this.

“ why are you there?”

“good question” he leaned his back. Looked at me and smiled thinly.

“ I did plan to catch the rebels, their base is in your village. But when I got there it was so awful. And I just found you. So this will be a mystery for us” he continued full of affirmation. His face is so serious. I know it's true that if it's like this, he's not lying. I still remember I saw this atmosphere when he had a discussion with the warlord while at the border some time ago.

 

“ can I trust your words?” my voice began to calm down. I feel more stable, especially mentally. Yes, my angry emotions are starting to fade.

“As for you, I've told you the truth”

“do you have any suspicions who exactly destroyed my village?” it's true this will be a mystery to me and him. Maybe he has a clue. A little hint is so meaningful. It's time I avenge their actions. All this time I thought that this problem would only make me traumatized and sad, but since reading the letter I was determined to reveal behind the incident, who did it and I had to reply to everything. My goal now is revenge.

 

“this problem is not just about murder, it is much deeper. You don't need to know. I'm definitely not the killer. You can come back like before”

 

“ I will never forget!!. Now I really want to reveal everything. If you don't want to tell me everything, I can find it myself.” I'm budging. From now on I will not remain silent. Actually I'm desperate. How do I find a clue. I can't think of anything. It turned out that I was still as weak as I used to be, I was really sad that there was no one who could help me at least stand next to me.

 

“zen, listen to me. “ she pulls the one I. To stop me from leaving this room. Is he trying to stop me and make me obey. Not all of it.

 

“let me.. “

“zen, if you still want revenge listen to me.” I finally stopped and looked at him. Padangku. Looks like my tears have filled my eyes. I turned my face away and violently wiped away the tears. I don't want him to see my weak and desperate condition.

 

“ train yourself, if you are more ready and tough I will tell you everything.”
