The Emperor's Prisoner

XXVII

I carefully climbed up the window and entered the room. Approaching my son, he fell asleep so soundly. So sweet. Au couldn't bear to carry it, my baby looked healthy with a steady weight. He was looking for comfort. I rubbed his cheek gently.

Suddenly he opened his eyes, not crying and smiling. Both of his hands rose as if to reach my face. I brought my face closer and it was true that her tiny hands were directly touching my cheeks and nose. I smiled and he laughed like a joke.

“ my son”. I'll go right past the window. I was already hurt, could-can Zenia take my son and go with another man. Even though it feels so painful at least this child should be under my watch.

Some of my group came closer when they saw me carrying a little baby boy. They certainly understand who the baby is.

“ hey, who did you take the baby with?” the man shouted, he saw me from inside the house through the window.

“ this baby my son” I immediately turned and left the house. Some people seemed to notice my behavior, especially with the presence of Ares and others like they were protecting me with their positions.

“ a noble” shouted a man I know. He was right in front of me. Who else if not Morgan.

“ go from before me” firmly. All the citizens seemed to be watching us, Morgan deliberately called me like that to attract the crowd. So devious.

“ don't take that baby” he said without feeling guilty. I smiled with disdain. He's really brave.

“ This baby is my son, why can't it?”

“ you can't take it like this”

“ do you still hold a grudge against me ? because my blood flows the blood of the man you hate, right, the man who robs the woman you love. Morgan, I didn't expect that all this time you were the man who made the emperor punish you. You are the cause of the woman you love that must accept all suffering “ Morgan seemed astonished by the truth that I know. Parveen's secret place lets me know a lot about the past.

“ no matter how you try to hide your feelings, I already know everything. This baby has nothing to do with you, I will forgive you for the crime of inciting the emperor to die slowly, and making the misunderstanding between me and emperor” Morgan seem limp, he just seemed to start to wake up. I put my foot back on. Morgan was silent, I could see his sorry look.

“ I no longer want to see you visit my mother's grave” I said as soon as I passed. Morgan was pensive with his own thoughts.

“ sir, I beg you not to bring my son” Zenia is already right in front of me, one of your group is holding him close. I turned around turning my body. Staring at him for so long, that longing paid off just by looking at him like this.

“ you look happy Zen” said, Zinia was silent with tears that kept flowing.

“ every day I look forward to your presence, spending dozens of bottles of wine so that I do not feel tormented. Now all I see is that you're so happy with that guy. Sad not” I laugh in tears. Telling me everything seemed so sad about my life all this time.

“ you are happy not with your new partner, let me bring my son to accompany me there” do not want to linger continue the steps.

“ sir, I beg you stop” Zenia's voice looks so sad, she is still so stubborn. I have not understood my sadness all this time. Some people seem to want to stop us.

“ you want to fight the emperor?” ares shouted that made those people not dare and returned to give way.

“I just take my son, calm down” I say slowly so that this misunderstanding is resolved. Although Zenia's cry was still heard, it didn't make me turn away at all. After receiving a shawl and holding my son in front of me immediately on a horse. From up here I could see the man hugging my Zeni as if giving strength to my evil actions. They are the ones who have hurt my heart. They are the ones who are so evil with my life.

“ sir!!” Zen ran towards me.

“ be happy with your new lover, if necessary make your own baby” I hit the horse slowly and spurred him quickly leave the village. My tears came out following my farewell to Zinia. It was unexpected, months of waiting and this is how it ended. So stifling, so pathetic. In fact, Zenia never really accepted all the harsh realities of the past. I'm sure she must have heard that her mother died at my hands. This strong bond turned out to be so fragile, it turned out that only I loved myself. Realize Enrick, he's not for me. Along the way my baby seemed calm in his sleep, as if giving strength to make me strong.

 

Aidyn, my son's name. I don't care what name he had before. He's a crown prince now. Although several ministers had asked, I clearly explained everything. There are no ethical or cultural violations. Aidyn was clearly present from the official concubine even though she was there somewhere. All could accept Aidyn as crown prince of the Mosgarath kingdom.

Because of her young age, I deliberately sought out a noblewoman who could breastfeed my son. Aidyn needs special treatment.

“ how is his health now?” I asked Hameera, a noblewoman who has been breastfeeding Aidyn for 5 months. Hameera is a woman who lost her child during childbirth, it seems she was the victim of a plot from her husband's second wife. Based on the examination of the condition tabid Hameera looks a little weak due to its damaged content. This woman was so gentle and sincere to Aidyn so I chose her.
