After the sun started to rise. Karol started to prepare the tools to go up the hill. A few hours later it was all done. He climbed the hill holding me in his arms. I felt his strong chest. If she is near Karol's face looks handsome like a professional athlete. If Emmanuel is a gentle and spoiled young man, Karol is a cold young man. You are stupid! Why can I think of such dirty things at a time like this?
We then arrived at the top. I can't be careless now. It could be that the robber is still here. I looked around without a care. Karol kept his promise. He helped me to find Emmanuel. For three hours we searched. But Emmanuel was not found. Is he being kidnapped by robbers or not?
My face turned pale. There is a possibility that it could happen. In the emptiness of the heart. Karol then called me.
"Your Honour. I have found Emmanuel."
I then woke up from sadness. It would be a miracle if he survived. I immediately approached Karol. By the river, I saw Emmanuel washing his face. His new clothes were ruined. I covered my face with both hands. I didn't feel the tears running down my cheeks.
"Emmanuel." I screamed for him as loud as I could.
Emmanuel then looked at me. He smiled at me. I feel happy. I ran to him. Karol then narrowed his eyes. Feeling awkward and strange.
"Your Honour."
"It's great to see you again."
"I miss Your Majesty very much."
"How did you survive?"
Emmanuel lowered his head after hearing Karol's question. Now Emmanuel has just met the two of us. Isn't that too harsh a word?
"It doesn't matter what it is. I'm already glad you're here."
Emmanuel lifted his face slowly then looked at me. His body seemed to be shaking. It seemed that she was afraid of Karol. He then answered in a low and cut-off voice.
"Servant has been saved by someone. Then that person left after saving me."
"That person must be kind-hearted." I said to them then smiled.
Karol suspects Emmanuel. He felt that defeating a large number of robbers would not be easy. Only a swordmaster or mage could do it. I then took Emmanuel's hand and led him to find a nearby inn. We also don't have a horse-drawn carriage. After spending a long time. Finally, we arrived at the inn. Karol also came with us. Incidentally, I still have money in my dress pocket. We were, therefore, able to book two rooms.
"Why did you come here?" I asked Karol.
He was suddenly surprised to hear that. Emmanuel also looked at his face. We both want to know that. Karol took a deep breath before answering my question.
"Duke Magnus asked me for help. He said if there was an enemy who wanted to kill His Majesty on the way home."
The eyes seem to pop out. I heard earlier that the Duke asked Karol for help. It's like a concern. Didn't the duke not love the empress? I then stood up and held my chin. There is a question that surrounds me. How did Duke Magnus know if the empress was in danger? Does this indicate that the Duke has investigated their whereabouts?
It is late. I will go into the room. Emmanuel and Karol stood in front of me. There was no way the two of them were trying to block.
"May I sleep with His Majesty tonight?" Emmanuel said to me. He had a cute expression on his face.
"That is better than His Majesty sleeping alone. If something bad happens you must tell me immediately." Karol agreed with Emmanuel's words.
I then laughed a little at their attitude. It seems their relationship has improved.
"Alright then. Tonight Emmanuel will accompany me."
Emmanuel smiled happily. I then went to the room. Emmanuel and Karol were still in place. This room looks cramped. There is only one small bed. If I had to share with Emmanuel. It will feel very congested. I then lay down and pulled the blanket. At least this room is more comfortable. While in the cave. I can not sleep. The night air is also very cold. After the empress fell fast asleep. Emmanuel then stood up and was about to go to the room to rest.
"Even though you came from slavery, no one knows where you came from. I know you are not just a slave. There is a secret that you are hiding. Whatever it is I don't mind it. I just want you to be able to look after and protect His Majesty. We both have the same wife."
"Of course. I will always be by her side."
Karol looked at Emmanuel's face. They looked at each other. Although there are no words between the two of them, it's going well. Emmanuel walked towards the room. He then closed the door slowly. Karol drank a glass of alcohol. He was in a bad mood. He was annoyed to see Emmanuel enter Her Highness the Empress' room. His heart ached. He couldn't tell his wife the truth. All the men who were in the Harem belonged to Her Highness the Empress. The youth must respect each other. They cannot have a single consort. Then Karol slept in his room. In the queen's room asleep. The sleeping position looks very beautiful. Emmanuel gently kissed the empress forehead. His heart was beating fast. This was the first time the empress asked him to sleep together. Even though they didn't do anything but he was already feeling happy. Emmanuel stroked the empress' hair gently.
"Emmanuel wants to protect His Majesty."
Her Highness the Empress is just sleeping. He didn't hear Emmanuel's words. When he saw the queen's face. Yesterday's incident came back to me. Emmanuel saw Karol and the empress plunge into the abyss. He was very sad and angry. The Empress is in danger. Emmanuel then unleashed his power. He has a great magic. In history. There is a kingdom led by a magician king. The king had a wife who was also a magician. Because of a tragedy. The kingdom collapsed. The king and queen died at the hands of traitors. But there was a member of the royal family who survived. He is the son of the king. Prince has a great magic. They call it a descendant of the gods. The prince then fled. For not having money. The prince ended up being a slave. When growing up. The Empress came to slavery. She often gathers handsome young men. Even though the empress got a bad name. For Emmanuel, the figure of the empress is a savior. Therefore Emmanuel promised to always be loyal to Her Majesty the Empress.
"I have re-established a fallen kingdom. Later I will tell the truth to Your Majesty. Servants will also help strengthen the kingdom with magic power."
