The Emperor's Prisoner

XV

“ noble you want to go where?” the moment I wanted to take Lucien's horse was suddenly behind me.

“ kingdom” short. Don't want to make small talk. He'll definitely prevent me just like Morgan.

“ I will follow”. I stared at Lucien for a moment, tumben once he did not comment. Nodding the new little he took a horse just like me.

 

My departure this time is indeed quite dangerous, after struggling to escape I instead returned to the nest of problems. But father's circumstances I can't just forget. Intentionally not saying anything to Zenia, she could not possibly allow my departure. Let him be safe there.

“ noble actually why do you want to go to the kingdom?” Lucien started the conversation on the way.

“ about the incident last night, maybe it can be done to father” while continuing to ride horses at a high rate. Even though it was getting night time, it couldn't dampen my intentions.

“ what noble means about your blood? I also realize that your blood is a little different.”

“ what did you find?”

“ Your blood reacts quickly to toxins, yet is non-toxic. As if the poison neutralizer” I heard carefully all Lucien's words. I just found out this fact. Ever since that night, I had the feeling that Morgan and Zoya must have something to hide. It was as if they had known each other before. Is this maybe the reason why Morgan never wanted to step on the kingdom. Because actually between them and the emperor had the same past story.

 

Huh,,huh..

It was blowing hard on our trip. The wound on my shoulder seemed to have gotten a little better. I was forced to let go because it bothered me so much on horseback.

 

Still halfway through the night, my body suddenly felt so hot. Maybe the curse will react. I looked at the moon up there. It's not wrong this time right on the full moon.

“ akh,” I stopped the pace of the horse. It feels like my heart is beating hot. This pain is indeed increasing, even the time period can come every full moon.

“ your majesty why?”

“ do not get close, this curse back” Lucien who did know the risk if in direct contact with my skin stopped approaching. He kept quiet while looking at me worriedly.

“ this pain, akhh akkk,,”

“ noble, what should I do?” I could see my skin was inflamed, reddish and a little smoky. It's like this until the night after it's back to normal. But this time the pain penetrated my heart, unlike usual who only felt it around the surface of the skin.

“ emmss,, you come back, akk, ask Zoya if she still holds hatred for me” I've fallen down holding my heart. Breathing is getting harder.

“ alright, you alone. Hang on your majesty”

 

The sound of Lucien's horse had already disappeared in the night. I took my place under a tree. Relying on my body that feels crumpled. Maybe this is what my father meant. The longer this curse will kill me. Neither I nor Zoya there is only one who can live.

“ akkkk,,” I screamed aloud. If it was like this I would rather feel the incision of the sword or let all my bones slide even broken, this pain was incomparable. My head was not feeling this pain.

Uhuk, uhuk,,

Coughing, blood is now also coming out of my mouth. What's the matter exactly.

“ akkk” my heart feels in a stab repeatedly. I kept shouting until the darkness of night took away my vision.

 

 

Gently, it felt like my back felt a soft thing. Soon I could feel a warm sweep along my face. Jemari cut my hair.

“ we are guilty of you, please wake up mister” that beautiful voice so warms my heart. Slowly I opened my eyes. A pregnant woman was squeezing a cloth. He must be cleaning my body.

“ master,?” as soon as he wanted to clean my face he realized that my eyes were open. I smiled lightly.

“ I will call Lucien “ would love mehanan his hands, but what is my weak body not energized. His figure had disappeared behind the door. I spread the view. Now I am on my bedroom bed. Looks like it showed me the afternoon outside. How they brought me back.

 

“ noble,,” decided my attention on the room window. Lucien comes in in a hurry, followed by Morgan and the woman, Zoya.

“ what noble still feel pain?” Lucien asked as he sat beside the bed.

“ for what he came, want to witness my pain?”since Zenia is not there I can freely show my dislike. All eyes were on Zoya. He didn't seem intimidated by the situation, instead his gaze felt guilty towards me. But I immediately dismissed the thought, where perhaps he had that feeling.

 

The atmosphere became silent, there was no talk after hearing the scathing sentence from me.

“ come out you guys, I'm fine” when you want to change the sideways position of the body so heavy. Am I so weak that I'm not strong just moving my back.

“ now you need time to recover your energy” said Zoya before leaving the room. He knows better what the effects of the curse are.

At first I wanted to hear his words. But I lost fast, he turned his back.

“ noble, looks like the woman has already repented” Morgan hit Lucien's head slowly not received with Lucien's words.

“ come, you rest.” Come leave me.

“ how about Zen, does he already know this curse problem?” I almost forgot about this.

“ since 2 days ago he continues to grieve, may still not believe in this reality.” Lucien replied weakly. Zen must have felt guilty, it was appropriate to know I realized he had left immediately without saying anything.

“ wait, how long did I not realize?” it digests the sentence like something is awkward.

“ that morning we found the master passed out and immediately brought back. It has been almost 3 days that noble unconscious. “ just deserved zenia cleans my body with a cloth, during that time I lay here.

“ tell him that I'm looking for him.”

“ noble, Zinia doesn't even want to see her mother. How should I persuade him. Will not be able to. “ is as bad as the effect of this truth. His mother was not something he could take for granted. It was a disappointment that Zen felt.

“ as long as I don't realize how Zoya responds?”

“ I don't know, he's been in many times looking at your condition. Like being worried about something” is awkward. What he really planned.

“ noble oia, do you still remember how to remove this curse from emperor?” lucien whispered. There's nothing Lucien doesn't know about me but my heart. The conversation at that time was clear that he was listening.

“ of course, but I don't think I can do it.” Exhaling a rough breath. This choice is still so heavy for me. Although my hatred for Zoya is still great, but killing my wife's mother is not what I want to do.

 

Lucien left me alone. All this instead of improving becomes complicated. If I knew this would put some distance between me and Zinia, I wouldn't have tried so hard to get Zoya out of custody. I took a deep breath holding back my annoyance. Wait for my body to be healthy again I will explain to Zinia that she will not be wrong anyway. Do not let the guilt will even affect the health of the fetus in the womb.
