Chapter 16 - The Emperor's Return

"Gosh, sir. It's very dangerous, and what if you get hit by their weapons. All the weapons belonging to the robbers are equipped with very deadly poison if not handled immediately," said Patih Cakra.

"Yes, Zuko. Why did you do that? You'd better invite the soldiers to help you, yesterday you were so complacent that we fell," added Freya.

"Then what about your wound? Has it healed? The healer yesterday looked for you to leave the kingdom to give the medicine, but Mr. Zuko went first," asked Patih Cakra.

Zuko looked at the wound on his hand that seemed to have disappeared without a trace. "It's healed, Uncle. Yesterday I gave you my own medicine."

Patih Cakra was amazed at the greatness of a knight in front of him. Even though the wound that Zuko suffered was like the wound that made Freya sick yesterday because it was slightly infected.

"I am very impressed with you, sir. However, if the gun wounds of the robbers are not treated immediately, the consequences will be very bad."

Zuko smiled kindly and nodded his head. "I'm used to this."

Patih Cakra stood up again and said goodbye to leave the room. That day, the Patih wore clothes like a warrior and carried a samurai on his back.

"Where are you going Uncle? Why bring something?" Freya looked at Patih Cakra's back where there was a samurai.

"Uncle will go to the port with the soldiers," replied Patih Cakra, who was wearing his shoes.

Freya turned her gaze towards Zuko. "Let's go with Uncle to the port," said Freya.

Zuko agreed in the affirmative. He did that to unwind in another country, as well as to obey Freya's wish to go to a place called a port.

However, Patih Cakra did not allow Freya to go to the port, because sometimes there were several groups who always rioted and took some materials.

food from abroad.

"It is better, the princess is here with Mr. Zuko. Because it is not very good if you go with Uncle later," said Patih Cakra.

"But I really want to go there, let us come," Freya asked.

Haven't had time to answer yet. Patih Cakra watched the crowd of soldiers return to the kingdom with Patih Kerta and the Emperor Argayasa.

"Thank God, they're back. Let's go out to greet your father," said Patih Cakra.

Zuko looked through the window behind him, he was relieved that the emperor had returned safely. But he was shocked and frowned because why did the returning soldiers look like only half, then where were the others?

Freya's face immediately brightened and forgot that she wanted to go to the harbor with her uncle. He looked at his father who was walking supported by Patih Kerta and several other soldiers.

"Freya. Let's go there," said Patih Cakra.

Without waiting long, Freya and Patih Cakra walked away from Zuko. They headed to where Emperor Argayasa and the other soldiers returned.

Zuko looked from his window, he felt happy and calm again. Because with this, Freya definitely won't be worried anymore and won't be going alone again like yesterday.

Freya being robbed yesterday alone had made her blindly kill all the robbers in her base. But now Freya seemed to have calmed down because her father had returned safely.

From the window, Zuko smiled when he saw Freya hugging her father happily. Some of the soldiers also saluted by bowing their heads. Patih Cakra and Patih Kerta smiled at each other happily.

"Freya. For some reason, my heart always feels calm and happy when I always see you smiling with me. Is it like what the old man said? Even if, yes. I will stay with you forever," he said softly while holding a red cloth as a window decoration.

Instantly, Zuko was shocked and felt sorry for some of the Emperor's soldiers. Because, some soldiers seemed to be walking supported by other soldiers walking into the royal area with a stagger.

At that time, Zuko should have helped him save the emperor. So, maybe some soldiers won't be victimized by the ferocity of the demons.

His thoughts stopped when the emperor passed out. the emperor was brought in by Patih Cakra and the gate guards.

Zuko came out of his room to see the state of Freya who left the royal courtyard following Patih Cakra who brought the emperor.

He stopped in the emperor's room. At that time, only Patih Cakra and Freya were in the room.

"Father," Freya tried to wake her father who was unconscious in bed. Emperor Argayasa's face was very pale, with white lips.

Slowly, Zuko walked towards Freya. His hand touched the princess's hand gently. "Don't panic, your dad is fine. He's just too tired.

"I will call a doctor," said the patih as he walked to the royal physician who was at his house, which was not far from the kingdom.

Freya wiped her tears, she sat on the bed holding her father's cold hand.

Zuko slowly took off the shoes that the emperor was still wearing. The shoes were mixed with a blood red color, but I don't know whose blood was there, while the emperor didn't have the slightest visible wound.

When his hand touched the emperor's feet, Zuko was startled and looked at Freya. Kang Emperor's entire body was cold and pale as he lay on his bed.

At that time, he remembered his teacher who had given him the knowledge of healing someone who was in a state like the current emperor. Before he could say that to Freya, suddenly the healer and Patih Cakra had come with several containers of medicine.

"Excuse me, Princess. I will give this medicine to Emperor Argayasa," said the healer while giving some of his medicinal herbs to several points of the emperor's body.

Patih Cakra approached the healer, he helped carry some of the potions, while the healer was treating the emperor.

"Why is Emperor Argayasa so cold?" Suddenly Patih Cakra was shocked and swallowed his saliva like he couldn't believe it.

Freya wiped the tears that were running down her cheeks. Afraid that something untoward happened to his father.

Zuko's calmness turned to anxiety when he found the emperor in this state. Meanwhile, Freya, who was standing with him, kept shedding tears. Feeling touched in his heart made him forget that he had some healing knowledge from his great teacher who lived in a forest.

"How is my father, Uncle? Is he all right?" asked Freya in a choking voice, she still had tears in her eyes.

The healer just didn't answer when he saw Emperor Argayasa's condition which didn't look good to talk about.

Patih Cakra brought his hand closer to

the emperor's nostrils, he drifted back while lowering his head in disbelief at what had happened to his brother as an emperor in this country.

Zuko looked at Patih Cakra with a question mark. But the patih just silently put his hands together in doubt.

At that time, the healer stopped giving the potions, he stood up and seemed to pray to the almighty God to save the emperor.

Out of curiosity, Zuko brought his finger closer to feel whether the emperor was still breathing or not. From his finger, the emperor's breaths were very few and very slow. He pressed his hand to the emperor's chest, this time he felt the emperor's heartbeat very slow.
