REINCARNATED AS THE EMPEROR'S SERVANT

CHAPTER 19

CHAPTER 19

ZELIA went to their room, together with the Emperor. She immediately lay back at the bed, thinking about what just happened this day. She still can't believe that there is someone in the world who could do something that awful to the girls.

"Are you okay?"The Emperor asked as he sat down near to her.

She sigh as she nodded her head, "Yeah, I'm fine."

It's already five in the morning and they both are still awake, the Emperor keeps on telling her to sleep but everytime that she closes her eyes, she could still remember the agony about what she just saw earlier.

The Emperor lay down the bed which is near to her and he expertly wrapped his arms around her waist as he pull her to his, making Zelia's face slammed to the Emperor's masculine chest. She didn't resist nor said anything since she's already worn out, she just let the Emperor comfort her saying that she's not alone by hugging her until she finally falls asleep.

IT'S ALREADY 8 in the morning and the Emperor has already awake by the creak noise of the door, as if someone just entered their room. Of course, The Emperor has a great sense... he uses his sixth sense to identify if that person who just open the door is familiar or not just by their presence. He stopped from doing it as soon as he noticed a familiar presence. There were two of them.

"Your Majesty, we are sorry for disturbing you but we've already found the another hideout of that culprit. This hideout contains 15 young womens who were basically tortured."Reves said while standing infront of them.

The Emperor motioned as he put his forefinger in his lips as a sign of silence.

"If you want to talk, talk in a whisper sound-like or else you'll end up waking Zelia, she's still tired about what happened earlier."The Emperor said half whisperedly and both of them... Reves and Mae just nodded their head.

"It's okay, you can talk loudly now... I'm already awake."Zelia said as she slowly open her eyes. 

The Emperor immediately look at her and a worried visible to his eyes, "Just go to sleep and we will handle this case. Okay?"

Zelia wanted to sit on the bed but there is no strength left in her arms even though she already sleep for atleast three hours yet her body is still tired and heavy. 

'Damn this body. I should really add something about my exercises. If my old body is still here, I could really awake at the night without feeling tired.' Zelia cussed silently as if she was complaining to her own self.

Zelia could feel her hips feels like it's about to broke... that is when she remembers that the Emperor was wild at the bed(so as she) yesterday at night, maybe that's why her whole body was aching so bad.

"No, I'm really okay. I also wanted to investigate."She insist.

The Emperor sigh as he slightly flick her forehead using his finger, "Shut up and just rest, I'll take care of the rest."

"B-But—"

"No more but'. If you still complain, I'm gonna punish you in my own way."He said looking at her seriously.

She pouted, "Fine." She sigh as she continued talking, "You better keep your words and find out who the hell is the one who's behind all of this shits or else I'm not gonna talk to you nor I won't let you have your way again."She threatened him by using her menacing tone.

The Emperor chuckled at what she said, "Okay. I promise."He said as he stood up.

"We... Reves and me will go outside for a minute to give Your Majesty time to change his clothes."Mae said as she grabbed the wrist of Reves and dragged theirselves outside and she closed the door.

The Emperor really did change his clothes into a normal one—not a robe or anything that an Emperor would dress. It's a normal red shirt with a black trouser.

"I thought you're gonna make your trouser a red color."Zelia said while she was still laying on the bed, grabbing the book near in the bookshelf for her to atleast have something to do while she's resting.

The Emperor glared at her, "I told you to get rest, why are you still awake and keeps on reading books?"

She chuckled, "I'm resting, my body is resting and my mind wasn't. I can't sleep even if I wanted to, besides I like reading."

The Emperor sighed in defeat, "I'm gonna head out now."He said as he walks towards to her direction to give her a kiss in the lips.

"Tsk. You really did become more and more shameless, 'ya know."Zelia said as she broke their kisses.

The Emperor just chuckled and didn't argue with her anymore since he already know that no matter what they would argue at each other, he will always ended up admitting defeat.

"Yes, yes, I can't deny that. I'm gonna go now."He said as he stood up from kneeling the bed to match with her face.

Zelia nodded, "Okay, just be careful since you don't know who's the culprit."

"Okay. Thanks."He said as he walk out from the room.

Zelia chuckled, "His outfit really did suited him, well no matter what clothes he would wear, it will always suited him no matter what. Thank goodness, his younger brother is good at making clothes... by now, his closets might be full of ordinary clothes."She whispered to herself as she continued reading until she falls asleep again.

She woke up feeling comfortable. She went out of her room to check the sun if it's still rising or not to tell the time. She guessed that it's probably around 1-2 in the afternoon yet His Majesty, Reves and Mae hasn't back yet.

She wanted to troll around but her stomach growl, asking for food so she decided to went to the nearest market.

It was a simple market with a lots of foods, like candy apple, cotton candy, lumpia, fish, coconut juice and other foods.

She sat at the chair which has a simple wooden table in front of her, then a man went to his direction with a cute smile plastered on his lips.

"What do you want to order?"He asked as if she's in the restaurant.

She chuckled before she answered, "I want coconut juice for drinks, rice, dumplings and lumpia for food."

He nodded his head, "Okay, I'll be right back."He said and went to where the foods and drinks was and grabbed what she ordered and put it on her table.

"Are you new here?"The man asked as he sat on the opposite chair which made them facing at each other.

She nodded, "Yeah."She replied as she started eating.

"You're gorgeous."He said with a smile on his lips.

Zelia nodded, "Thank you."As she was still eating not really minding the man in front of her. Well, she's already used at getting compliment by someone so she doesn't really mind.

"By the way, are you still single? If yes, would you be mine? I'll rather sacrifice everything I have just to be with you."He said trying to flirt her with his words.

She look at him and gulped the food that she just eat before she answered, "Are you a playboy? Judging from the way you talk, you seemed to be a playboy. Please stop flirting me, I'm still eating and even if I'm single, I don't really have a plans to have a boyfriend."

She immediately finished eating and she stand up, then she put the 4 gold coins in the table as for the payment. She spoke, "Thank you for the food, I'll get going."

Zelia immediately starts walking away from the small market then she heard him say, "We are destined to meet again, Lady." 

She just sigh as she continued walking away from that market not saying nor even responding to what he just said. Tho, she might not say it but she feels a little comfortable as she was talking to that stranger man. So weird.

As she was walking around the village, trying to gasped evidence... someone grabbed her wrist violently enough to leave a mark on her wrist as she was being dragged to the darkness. 

She almost cussed as she was dragged, it happened so fast that she can't even fight back.'Damn. I underestimate this culprit, it seems that he's professional one... based on his gestures and the way he dragged me in this dark underground or so whatever this tunnel is... seems like he could see in the dark... seems like he was trained to see in the dark.'

"Who are you?"Zelia asked as she was also walks, to match her face so that she won't be dragged by this person. The man didn't said anything but he just put a force on his hand and put her to unconscious using the force of his hand to her nape.

'Fuck... I-I'm losing—'Before Zelia could finish her thoughts, she falls asleep. Before she will stumble, the man immediately carry her like she's a pile of a socks.
