The Emperor's Prisoner

XXIX

I did lose consciousness a little bit last night, and this made my head feel dizzy. Soon I got out of bed, and walked

towards bathhouse. At first I was not aware of the strangeness of my body until the bathwater made my body wear nothing.  Is it possible last night I did do ‘hal it’ to one of the ladies.

Sighing roughly, my worries might occur. Not much thought I'd finish the bath ritual immediately. The robe hanging not far from me, walked out.

My steps came to a halt as soon as I saw a woman lying on my back.

‘ finally happened’ my girl. Yeah, I better get going, I don't want to see who the lady-in-waiting managed to seduce me last night.

After making sure my appearance was ready, hurriedly walked out of the room.

“ you guys take care of women in” I said to the waiter in front of my residence.

This morning Hameera's health was reported to be deteriorating, all the healers were now in front of me.

“ forgive us your majesty, we have really done our best” said the head physician of the palace.

“ all this time what are you guys doing?” my yelling. I'm so worried about how Aidyn will be.

“forgive us your honor” they're getting scared. Not only was Aidyn suddenly crying loudly. Dayang next to me joined the wave could not stop her crying.

“ you guys come out, immediately mix herbs for concubine conditions”

The healers hurried to leave the Hameera residence. The woman lay unconscious in bed. His face was so pale, so pitiful.

After retrieving Aidy from the incompetent lady, I carried him out to the meeting room.

“ noble” Lucien was waiting in the hallway, seeing his cheerful look I was getting upset.

“ entertain crown prince” Aidy I give to Luc.

“ noble, I already told you if I did not dare

touch it” Luc quickly dodged my gift. Step away from me.

“ you dare to go against my orders luc?” my growl.

“no, that's not what I mean. “

“ Hameera is getting worse, now you are in charge of guarding the crown prince” annoyed me. Luc looks shocked for a moment then changed into sumringah. I frowned seeing her reaction.

“ why didn't his highness let his mother nurture the crown prince?” Lucien whispered to me.

“ he's gone” while exhaling a rough breath. Aidyn who had been silent was now heard laughing. He seemed pleased with the idea of Lucien.

“ is not a cell,, uh Lady Zenia is in a noble residence?” I looked at Luc sharply, I caught the success of his evil plan. His face was laughing at my confusion.

“ you..?” I stopped as if I could read the mind of this damn bodyguard.

“ this is the idea of noble Cilla, I also feel sorry for you” Lucien immediately ran after finishing his sentence.

This of course rewrote my memory last night. What might be the Zen figure that was in my dream was really Zenia. Still carrying Aidyn I rushed back to the residence. For some reason there was a fresh chill entering my heart. I keep hoping that what I believe is true.

Not minding the flattery of the floats I went straight to the room, I faintly heard a soft voice. This voice is so familiar.

“ you better bring back all this, I can not use it” my steps are getting slower and lighter, so that the activity inside does not feel my presence.

“ we also did not force, you don't know where women dare to enter the king's room. Just look after this noble one must be punishing you” sounded one of the ladies-in-waiting.

My steps stopped on the doorstep, here I could see the woman. She still wore the same clothes as last night, in front of her were 3 maids carrying royal necessities.

“ yes, your highness is unlikely to enter in

your evil plan” one dayang chimed. I was still speechless, digesting the situation and the fact that Zenia was the woman I was last night in my bed. Warm Eve seemed to make my hatred a little by a little. This woman, I can't face her.

“ I didn't plan anything” reply soft Zinia. He was still just as stubborn and naive as ever.

“ just say you barged in last night so you could sleep with your majesty right?” this lady is getting bolder.

“ what happened?” immediately I cut, they immediately turned their heads in fear, and calmed down. Including Zenia.

“the noble” said they simultaneously.

“ what commotion happened?” step into the room. My eyes never escaped from Zinia. Just yesterday it felt like I hated it so much, now somehow a sense of longing suddenly filled my heart.

“you know who the woman you have insulted is?” my voice is a little high.

“ ti..no the noble”

“ this woman is the birth mother of crown prince” firmly and clearly. My voice seemed to be blaring in the room. The ladies looked at each other while still prostrating.

“ forgive our noble folly”

“ better you guys go” I already have no interest in hearing their apologies, now I just want to see Zenia.

“ why are you here?” my many. I didn't want to look shaky, even though my heart was pounding when I found the mark I left on her body. Zenia's face looked confused and anxious.

“ sss,,, I just, just..” zenia looks confused with my question. Aidyn spread out both hands, whining to hug his mother. Zania looked sad and crying. Not wanting to make it difficult, I immediately gave Aidyn to her mother. I still have business in the hall.

“ I have to attend a meeting” I said before leaving the room.

“ don't let women inside out” I told the aisle guard.

“ good noble” answer simultaneously. I'm still on my guard, afraid that Zinia will go again.

Throughout the meeting in the hall my heart could not calm down, various anxieties and all the fears of Zen continued to make me not focus.

“ noble..” one of the ministers stopped my daydream.

“ ah yes, we hentika meeting today” I immediately left the hall. Of course to the residence. Lucien can't match my steps - maybe I'm too fast.

“ noble, concubine Hameera increasingly ..” Harem's dayang blocked my path, if not for her cries carrying the name Hameera maybe I've given her a severe punishment.

“ what happened?” many quick.

“ concubines don't stop vomiting blood” she replied as she continued to cry. Hearing this news somehow I had a bad feeling. I'd better see Hameera, this woman is in need of my presence.

The dayang residence walked behind me, our steps were indeed a little faster. It is undeniable that I should treat Hameera well. His help took care of Aidyn and gave her the ASI I deserved to pay for.

“ noble” the healer's head goes backwards giving me room to approach the concubine. In this room is very thick aroma of medicine, sure I see an empty bowl on the nightstand.

“ Hameera, no need” I grabbed his body as if to rise to give greetings.

“ how are you doing?” I sat on the edge of the bed holding his hand.

“ seems like my time is not much. Thank you, Your Majesty, for bringing you here. Forgive me for weighing on your majesty.” His voice was thinning, he even looked troubled to catch his breath.

“ no need, the healer will soon restore your condition” replied I comforted him.

“ I know how my own body. Oh yeah, I heard concubine Zen back?” this story has been heard by everyone, but out of nowhere he knows the arrival of Zen. Hameera did not know what Zenia looked like.

“ yes” while nodding small.

Hameera was thin and sincere.

“ I can go quietly” her hand rubs my hand slowly.

“ don't worry about anything. You have to recover” I'm still trying to give him some spirit.

“ noble,, uhuk uhuk.” I can see bloodstains on his handkerchief. The condition is that bad.

“hush us” I stroked his back, he was very weak.

“ can you give me justice?” I stared at the manikinya inside. There are still glimpsing sadness and despair.

“ any” answer me briefly.

“ for my son, uhuk uhuk uhuk” his cough is getting worse. Same with the blood coming out. Things are getting more panic. I immediately withdrew and told the healer to check on him immediately. But weakly Hameera did not let go of her hand.

“ promise me your majesty” as if this is his last energy, his voice so weak and raucous.

“ I promise” I'll be chiming in soon. Hemeera smiled weakly with a melt of tears coming down from the corner of her eyes. But darling only

after a while Hameera's hand fell, there was no more energy. Along with his closed eyes.

“ immediately, check him” I shouted. Want to see if my hunch might happen.

“ noble mercy, concubine is gone” said the sad healer.

“ noble..” his personal dayang immediately sat down while crying great. I didn't expect that it would be this short he would survive. Hameera, the woman I know as a good woman just that she has to face the bitterness of life.

I looked at Hameera's body, she asked for justice for her son who was the victim of a sinister plot.

“ I'll pay for all my “ germs. Then immediately go to the workspace. I need to write down some degrits and draw up a plan.

News of Hameera's death has been heard in all Mosgarath areas. And of course in his homeland. Hameera comes from Linnel, a fertile mountainous region. After the honorable funeral, the, I immediately instructed Ares to gather all the things related to the events of a year ago that led to this woman being expelled and ending up in the capital for treatment.

I am on my way to visit his family's home. This time Lucien did not accompany me, but Ares who became my personal bodyguard. I've been thinking of a plan for this.

“ noble, this is a picture of all the members of the Hameera concubine family including her ex-husband” I immediately took the sheet and looked at it closely. There is also complete information related to those people.

“ nifty” I researched, do not let little things go unturned.

In a few moments the train will arrive at the city gate. I disguised myself as a rich merchant, it was impossible to display my identity just for this bunch of jerks. My plan is very mature and will not fail. I left the kingdom without saying goodbye to Zenia, there was still a thin partition that I had to display in front of Zen. Lucien

duty to watch over the palace lest my absence cause royal trouble.
