The Emperor's Prisoner

The Emperor's Prisoner
XXII



The conversation that night was so shocking. A person I knew well even for so long with me turned out to have a close relationship with my past. What an alasana made Morgan choose to hide all this.


“ today I will leave the government, keep an eye on Parveen. You can start to torture.” My message to Jarvis. This morning I went to the base. Many things require me to go there, one of them is to pick up Zinia.


Hah. cah,,


During the trip I thought a lot about Morgan's connection to Parveen's right hand. If true, there are many benefits that he can get. Although my heart tried to deny it but logically it could have happened.


 


As soon as I got to the front of the cottage I felt some awkwardness. I immediately entered, there was quite a quiet atmosphere, there were only a few bodyguards standing guard at the front.


“ how is the group condition during this?” the two guards were silent. They glanced at each other as if hiding fear.


“ reply, did something happen?” my voice is getting higher.


“ tu,mrs. There's a problem”


“ what problem?” my feelings are starting to get bad.


“ mistress Zenia disappeared” almost I can bring her back. Now this news is heard like a sword slashing my heart.


“ why no one reported? Now how is it going?” annoyed by the attitude of those who seemed slow to answer, I chose to immediately go in looking for Lucien or anyone who could give me a little good news.


 


“ Lucien!” I shouted entering the room. One of the maids approached me.


“ sir is back. Now that Lucien's bodyguard is being treated in his room” hasn't finished my shock now the news Lucien is injured adds to the anxiety. With long strides I immediately headed to Lucien's room.


 


Just now a servant came out of there carrying some bloodstained cloth. My feeling is that Lucien's wound must have been severe. If not, he will report this to me soon.


 


And sure enough, I could see the wound along his chest was so severe. His hands were bandaged too. Not to mention his face was so pale. I can only breathe out rough breaths. Problems come on end. Why is it so hard to feel the peace of life.


 


A few minutes later a servant came in with medicine. He was shocked to know where I was here.


“ how is it?”


“ Lucien's bodyguard suffered a deep tear wound. Besides it looks like the weapon that hit it contains poison. For 3 days this bodyguard Lucien has not been aware”


“ about Zinia and Morgan?” the waiter took a long distance to answer my question.


“ I don't know for sure. Suddenly the base was attacked. Looks like Mr. Morgan brought the madam to avoid a stampede. But until now the whereabouts of both of them are still unknown. It was fortunate that Lucien's bodyguards could deal with the invaders, so the losses weren't too much.”


“ how many days since the raid?”


“ exactly 3 days ago” back then I was unconscious. Maybe the attack was on purpose. The waiter said that Morgan brought Zinia to avoid the invasion but why not bring her to the kingdom. My heart still can't calm down.


“ bring me bowl “ the waiter was a little surprised but then did my command without asking. after handing over the bowl the waiter resigned himself. I approached the bed, trying to check Lucien's condition. For the treatment problem I was not very proficient but to know the state of a person can be said to be shrewd.


 


The poison that was in Lucien sudar's body settles for 3 days, the chances of being conscious will be much smaller. I immediately scratched my hand with a knife. It took a few drops before I wrapped it. I slowly poured the blood in Lucien's mouth and the rest into the wound I had opened. I hope my blood is that good for dealing with poison. I'm not really sure either, but what's wrong with trying.


 


It's been a day since Lucien was still unconscious. I can't do anything about it either before the whole raid is clear. I transferred Lucien into the kingdom, not wanting to risk anyone taking Parveen out of custody.


“ keep checking, tonight I will check it myself” replied I, then go to Lucien's ward. Jarvis must know the meaning of the examination I'm about to give. He looked tense when he heard my answer.


 


The atmosphere of the prisoner was so dark and gloomy. I can't wait to hear the cries and screams of the woman I've been calling my mother all my life. All his lies must be paid.


“ you still strong?” seen Parveen being tied up in a +-shaped pole. His hands were wide open while his feet on the rope became one. I could see the scars all over her body.


“ you, even to death I will not open my mouth.” Parveen.


“ even you die even if I still have nothing to lose. You think your life is so precious?” my distance from Parveen is so close. From here I can tell the depth of the whip wound he suffered, his clothes are shapeless in some parts. I was silent for a long time when I realized something.


 


“ bring hot water” I shouted at the guard. The Parveen Raut showed more fear.


“ games immediately at start” I whispered slowly on Parveen television.


 


Before long a guard brought a bucket of hot water. The steam was still rising showing how hot the water was. Take the dipper and walk closer to Parveen.


“ have I ever been exposed to hot water? It must be not hurt. How about a gaping wound in a hot water flush. Uhhh, much more pain certainly”


“ a.what do you want to do. No, don't do it. I beg”


“ I like to see you plead like this” then the water I put in one of his hands.


“ akkh, nokk, biadap!! “


“ hahaha. Shouldn't you ask for my mercy. Because you're still cursing so I don't have a choice” I stepped up to take the hot water again.


“ nok, stop already. I beg. I'll talk”


“ noble, shouldn't we let it live?” Jarvis tried to persuade me. I looked at him seriously. Before finally walking closer to Parveen.


“ say who your right hand is?!” shouting loudly. I don't want to linger here anymore.


“ hiks,,hiks. Her,,, her,” Parveen silent. Not continuing the sentence. He seems to be running out of energy. Even his consciousness was beginning to thin.


“ don't test my patience” my hisisku sharp. Looking at him who was so weak just because of the hot water, the awkwardness grew stronger.


“ Jarvis, give me your sword” I didn't look at him one bit and threw a dipper containing hot water to any place.   


“u, for what noble” Jarvis began to fret with Enrick's unreadable actions.


“ pull!” I look at him fiercely. Hearing that sentence Jarvis swiftly gave his sword.


Unscrewing the sword sheath with one powerful scorch. I'm closing in on Jarvis. Seen once the face of confusion, he must not have thought about the conclusion I found.


“ catch this traitor!” some guards looked at each other unconvinced by the command I just gave.


“ catch him!” instantly 3 guards immediately locked Jarvis' movement.


“ what is this noble. Why was I arrested?” Jarvis is still evasive.


Srakk..


“ akkk” jerial Jarvis as I scraped one of Javis's legs using his sword.


“ you're a traitor. You've been Parveen's right-hand man all along. Siaalann!” jarvis's eyes balled up hearing his secret opened easily.
