The blue sea net was slowly opening.
"Zeco."
"Sister."
"You okay?"
"Yes, where is this?"
"Stana."
Patrizia woke up from her sleep and leaned on the head of the bed.
"Sister said take care of yourself now that you're putting yourself in danger to save the emperor's son's life from the poisoned arrow" Reonal said.
"Ck! Brother knows the poison has no effect on my body."
"Continue why did you faint?"
"I'm just pretending, uh sleeping."
Reonal sighed deeply, this little sister is indeed unique. Not knowing what if he had panicked the entire palace because he came with the emperor in a state of fainting even the emperor ordered many healers to check his condition.
And of course all that is only in vain because the body of Patrizia can defeat the poison by itself especially the healers also already know the identity of Patrizia as the girl of the owner of holy magic. The healers were just playing like Patrizia, they were taking care of Patrizia like they were treating a patient with poison, even the healers chuckled when they realized that Patrizia was just asleep instead of fainting.
"What about Sienna?" ask Reonal.
Patrizia smiled obliquely. "He's in the right place and with the right people."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll tell you later."
Echemes
Patrizia and Reonal looked at Viggo who had been silent before and the man sat on the side of the bed after which he stroked Patrizia's head gently.
"Keep that hand of yours out of my head." - cynical Patrizia.
Not that according to Viggo even hugged Patrizia tightly. "Let it be like this for a second, I miss you so much."
Patrizia snorted it was impossible for him to attack the crown prince moreover this in the palace, it could uproar everyone. Leave it alone for this time, he will reply later. If remember!
Meanwhile, Argus was staring at the scene that made him want to laugh. How not to laugh? Look at Sienna and her minions, it's so awful. They were all plunged into a large, deep pit full of mud. The fort was made by Oleg Argus with his strength. After that Argus returned to the castle of Patrizia by teleporting.
...🍃🍃🍃...
In the evening, the emperor's welcoming party was held in the palace hall. All eyes were on the emperor as the door opened.
"Oh God, the emperor is very garden."
"It is fortunate that the woman who became his wife."
"Emperor make me your concubine."
"Eh.. Who is the woman holding the crown prince's hand?"
"Isn't that..
..Lady Letizia."
Patrizia sighed at the last words. Why would he be stuck with the emperor and his son?
FLASH BACK ON
"How are you doing, lady?" ask the emperor Jerome.
Jerome Troye Clinton, 25, emperor of the eastern continental empire. Jerome was a one-time widower, wife of Jerome died while giving birth to Liam Troye Clinton, their son five years ago.
"It's much better the emperor."
"Thank you."
The emperor's words made those who heard him gaped in disbelief.
Patrizia smiled. "Yes emperor, I just do what I have to do."
Jerome frowned, he did not understand the intention of the girl before him and just as Jerome was about to respond suddenly the crown prince's nanny came in haste.
"Sorry Your Majesty" said the nanny, looking down.
"What's wrong?"
"The crown prince has a fever of His Majesty."
Hearing that the son was sick, Jerome went to see his son.
Jerome's heart throbbed when he heard his son's cry, whatever happened suddenly Liam had a high fever and continued to cry when the healer had given a potion to lower his fever.
Jerome held Liam in his arms to try to calm his son, but Liam kept crying.
Patrizia sighed harshly, the girl had been standing in the doorway and no one noticed it because everyone in the room was only focused on Liam.
Patrizia come in, only you can appease the emperor's son.
Ck! Ja.
With wide strides Patrizia entered and directly took Liam from Jerome's sling without saying anything. Let's applaud Patrizia's bravery.
"Calm down." said Patrizia, patting Liam on the back and Liam's cries stopped.
Liam recognized the voice and the embrace, the five-year-old looked at Patrizia with a smile. "Mother.."
Uh..
Not only was the Patrizia shocked to hear that everyone in the room was also shocked including the emperor.
"..mom from anywhere, Liam misses mom." continued Liam while hugging Patrizia tightly.
Patrizia blinked her eyes many times, what kind of situation is this?
Ruben, what's going on?
The boy thinks of you as his mother.
Huh huh?
When you saved him earlier, the boy felt the comfort he never got from anyone when you hugged him so he considered you his mother.
"Mom, mother why? Is mom sick?"
Patrizia silence.
Liam was crying again. "Pardon Liam's mother, because Liam's mother is in pain. Hiks forgive Liam's mother." Liam's body shook.
Patrizia why are you quiet? Calm her down, just think of it as an exercise before you become a real mother.
Ck! Be quiet!
"No, i-mom is fine." said Patrizia stiff, very stiff.
Patrizia laid Liam on the bed. "Liam must rest to heal quickly." Patrizia pulls out a blanket to cover Liam's tiny body. "Liam slept."
Liam nodded. "But Liam wants to sleep with mom."
Patrizia was lying next to Liam, the boy hugged Patrizia tightly. They soon entered their own dreamland.
The nanny, who is over 50 years old, wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes. "Your Majesty, I think the crown prince considers lady Letizia as his mother. The crown prince always asked where his mother was until the crown prince had a high fever, at that time I did not understand but now I understand."
"..this is the first time I have seen the crown prince close to a stranger, let alone being able to hug him, the crown prince has never even looked at the people around him, the crown prince of a very closed child."
"..i think it's time His Majesty opened his heart, the crown prince needs a mother figure in his life."
Jerome looked at Rina, his babysitter whom he already considered to be his own mother. Lina also took care of Jerome when he was a child.
"Should it?"
...🍃🍃🍃...
"Eugh.." Patrizia opened her eyes, she smilingly looked at Liam who was soundly asleep in her arms. Liam's face while asleep was very soothing.
Patrizia felt that someone was staring at her, the girl rounded her eyes when she realized that Jerome was lying down while looking at her on the other side of Liam. "Emperor!" his screeches.
"Sttt's.." Jerome put his index finger on Patriza's cherry lips. "Slow your voice, Liam can wake up, he's very sensitive."
And sure enough what Jerome said, Liam woke up from his sleep. "Mother" he said cheerfully as he kissed Patrizia's cheek. Liam's fever has gone down even now the boy looks very healthy.
Patrizia glares. Was he just harassed by a boy? His cheeks are no longer holy.
Jerome who saw that was also annoyed. Maybe he lost the start of the unlucky boy who was his own son.
After hearing the words from Rina earlier, Jerome had decided that only Patrizia would be the empress and mother of her child.
"We'd better get ready to attend tonight's event."
"Alright, then I say goodbye to the emperor."
"Hm get ready, I'll pick you up, we'll come together tonight."
"What?"
FLASH BACK OFF
"Mother."
The soft voice resuscitated Patrizia from her daydream. Now he and Liam are sitting with Reonal while Jerome is talking to the king and queen.
"Yes." Yeah."
"I'm sleepy" said Liam as he rubbed his eyes.
"Go Zia, brother who will tell the emperor."
"Yes, thank you."
Patrizia and Liam left the party.
Sienna who saw the closeness of Patrizia and the crown prince Liam also clenched his hands holding back anger. "I should be in that position! It's not my useless brother! Just look at your happy life brother it will be over soon! Wait for your destruction!"
