At the palace, Looking at the youth who doesn't know how to suppress his urge for revenge, physician Yan called him "Butler Kamui" he turned around and look at her, his eyes is the eyes of a man who will kill anytime soon.
"go and rest, you have been up doing many things. If you don't rest, it is your body who will suffer and i don't intend to be a doctor to a stubborn kid like you" she heartlessly push Kamui because knowing the kid, he will forget about taking care of himself. Sometimes she needed to use harsh words to wake up her depressed patients.
"im fine, don't worry about me lady Yan, im used to it" he walk away but before he exit from prince Lenards chamber, a eunuch was seen approaching him "young master Kamui, his highness the emperor is asking for your presence in his majesties study room"
"please lead the way.." Kamuis poker face doesn't change a bit.
Physician Yan looked at him, worries is visible to her eyes as it shines in melancholy.
----
Inside the study room, the Emperor is thinking about how to inform his son Lenards friend about the situation.
Kamui is a like a calm water but beneath it are countless waves about to resurface. I as a father and as the ruler of this kingdom must manage his people to assure that peace will remain in my homeland.
"creak.." the door for the emperors study room was opened and the eunuch voice was heard "your highness, master Kamui is already here"
"should i lead him here inside?"
"lead him here.." the eunuch heard his voice, everyone standing in front of the emperor cowers in fear but he is different because his family was a loyal servant for over six centuries long and until now, serving the royal family is the most important matter in their lives. The emperor himself trust this subordinate so much like his family.
"young master Kamui please get in, his majesty is waiting inside" he bowed and leave as soon as he closed the door of the study room.
Cupping his hands he ask "you are looking for me your highness?. Is there anything i can do to help you?" he bowed as he tried to hide his feelings by lowering his voice in a colder manner.
"Ehem.." clearing his throat confirming the matter "yes"
"i believe you want to know the progress of the investigation, would you like to hear it?" the emperor carefully ask Kamui afraid that he may not want to know the situation. But most of all he was afraid what he will do if he found out about the truth.
"please, let me hear it your highness", this time fear lingered in his eyes.
"i don't know what else i should do!, i can't calm myself, i can't sleep, i cant forget his face and the look he has on his death!"
"im afraid i will go crazy if i don't do anything!"
He felt sorry "calm dow Kamui, keep yourself in check. I want you to stay beside Lenard, if you lose control of yourself now.. im afraid you will never be able to see him again or he will never see you, perhaps you will lose him at the end. So what i want you for now is wait for him to wake up and leave the case to your elders, i want you to trust me not as your emperor but as your best-friends father."
Looking straight to his eyes... the emperor manage to calm the rage inside the youths' heart. If he can tame a monster then it only means that he was not the emperor for nothing.
"first of all, we have found out the culprit. He was minister Helbram Klein, he used his power and formed his own army to control. He also ordered his men to poison Lenard." Not giving Kamui the chance to react the emperor continued.
"it is likely a new poison and we don't have anything to do for now but i had already informed physician Yan about the situation."
"i already punished the bastard by killing him and poisoning him"
He continued "so you don't have to go and look for him, he is no longer in this world besides you will be waiting for Lenard to wake up." Satisfied at how Kamui listened to his every words he add
"you may leave now and promise me to control yourself so that you can walk with him in many more years to come.. don't forget that"
Kamui look at the emperor and his admiration for him only grew stronger, today he was given the chance to be with his friend. Even though i wanted to do the revenge myself, i was still content with the outcome. All i need to do now is go back and patiently wait.
