The Emperor's Prisoner

XX

 

When all the guards were busy handling the empress my head was suddenly dizzy. I think my body is flayed. So hurt. I can't bear this pain. I don't know what's going on. Why was this pain suddenly felt. Even my ears were ringing, unable to hear any sound.

“ akkhh” shouts me. Jarvis. His mouth was like saying something, but no sound was heard. Until darkness took away my vision.

 

Beautiful, I was in a garden full of flowers. Cool and beautiful.

Walking down a shady tree, a cool breeze seeped in every step.

“ come here” sounds a woman's voice.

“ come closer” the voice seemed to rivet me to walk closer towards the cottage not far from there.

 

With slow steps I followed my heart to get closer. Just pushing the door slowly, I could already see the figure of a woman standing behind me. The man stared at the window in front of him.

“ you called me?” ask me while going inside.

Hearing my question the woman turned around. Her long black hair moved round adding to the beauty of her white face.

“ you look so handsome” my forehead shriveled. This woman knows me.

“ who are you?” the woman smiled faintly then turned her face away, looking back at the window. Makes me wonder exactly what he's looking at. I approached standing beside him.

I looked at the woman, and I was surprised there was nothing outside.

“ no any”

The woman looked over, her face so shady. I think I want to hug him. I don't know how I feel about her.

“ you've been this big” the corner of his eye there is a flash of light, the melt of water is already seen flowing. I'm increasingly thinking who exactly this graceful woman is.

“ you?”

“ look there” I'm back staring at the window. There was a woman sitting in the garden facing us. But I couldn't see her face, she was joking with the little baby in her cradle. My heart melted at this sight. Up to the face it went up and immediately saw us. There was a woman I knew so well.

“ zenia,,” lirihku.

“ why is he here?” now my eyes are on the woman next to me.

“ beautiful, what is my grandson?” I was silent to hear his question.

“ mother,?” this is what disturbed my mind.

 

Instead of answering, smile sweetly at me. I looked closely at his face.

“ thank you, you have forgiven your father. You're a good boy” stroked my hair slowly. This woman is my mother. Just then the tears of longing instantly flooded my eyes. The figure of the mother I had been looking for was now standing right in front of me.

“ mother, I miss you so much” I want to hug her, but just one step the woman took a step back, resisting my wishes.

“ they still need you” her eyeballs point at Zenia out there.

“ I really want to hug you. Don't you love me?”

“ shht, you are the most beautiful gift for mom. There's no way mom doesn't love you.”

“ but you left me.”

“ this is your destiny. You're a strong, brave and brave mother's son. I'm proud of you.” From the first moment I lived until now only this time I could not manage my tears. They flowed without me stopping.  

“ go son, I've been happy with your father” since when there was a male figure behind mom. A light shone on his face. The man was father, he smiled as he hugged mother from behind.

Seeing this, I have no doubt.

“ thanks mom dad. I go” steps confidently towards Zinia. The sunlight grew brighter as I approached the door. My eyes glared until finally a call took it all away.

 

“ noble,” as if I am interested in this voice. I opened my eyes.

“ you finally realized, waiter. Call the healer here” I heard a noise there.

My mind is still floating. Now I'm in my room. The crown prince's palace.

“ do not move too much, the healer will check your body first” there already Jarvis. He looks so worried about me.

 

Shortly after some healers came, one of them checked me out.

“ noble condition is still not stable, some of his old wounds have not healed yet. So still desperately need a break.” Obviously healer.

“ well thank you, you can go” says Jarvis.

 

I tried to sit down, thankfully the waiter understood and helped me. Jarvis led the healer to the front door of the room. Then back to my bed.

“ anyone want your majesty ask?”

“ hem, how long have I been unconscious?”

“ about almost a week. “ I was surprised by the answer I heard.

“ how about the funeral of father and Zoya?” I still can't calm down given the previous events.

“ zoya we have buried properly. The emperor will still be performing the death ceremony tomorrow. In addition, news of the emperor's death was announced a few days ago. Now the people are fasting to honor the departure of the emperor” explained Jarvis at length.

“ alright, you can go.” Jarvis went and the room maid. I lie down, my body feels weak. I am still confused as to why I am experiencing such pain. Knowing for almost a week I unconsciously made me realize that this pain cannot be underestimated. What might this have to do with Zoya's death and her curse. I realized that if the stick was right in Zoya's heart, if it was true then my curse should have been gone.

 

It's been since last night I just lay limp in bed, this afternoon after finishing breakfast even lunch I came out. The ceremony of father's death will soon be held.

 

“ noble,” Jarvis greets me as he exits the palace. I did tell him to accompany me during the ceremony.

All the ministers as well as the nobility had already filled the ceremonial hall. They looked at me as they entered the hall. The sadness of my father's death is still deep. In the imperial seat there is no one. The imperial family is now the only one left. I exhaled a rough breath realizing this. The ascension to the throne of father had indeed made a huge mess. Even the entire imperial family had a huge impact.

 

“ thank you for attending the death ceremony of emperor Aeron. He was the best father to me.,,,,”

After finishing the speech, it was time for the burial. On horseback, the group went to the cemetery. The day was cloudy and even a speckle of rain accompanied this trip. Very quiet and quiet.  

 

I was silent to see all the shows. Staring at the coffin that was getting down before long the ground managed to cover the view until no longer seen father's chest. Sowing flowers on his grave. Not tired of me staring at a headstone bearing the name of the father. Right next to my father's grave is a tomb with the inscription Kahla. Although during his life he never mentioned the name even hid all the truth, but he himself took care of the mother's grave. Now right next to mom's grave, dad's resting. I'm so happy that all this time my love never faded.

“ welcome to regroup dad” lyric.
