REINCARNATED AS THE EMPEROR'S SERVANT

CHAPTER 15

CHAPTER 15

ZELIA woke up feeling great and comfortable, as she rise on the bed, but when she finally remember what happened yesterday, her cheeks felt hot as well as the embarrassed take over her body.

She roamed her eyes around the room, she sigh in relief when she knows she's not on the Emperor's room but she's in her room. She climbed off the bed to do her morning routine.

When she's done doing all of her morning routine, she just let her long blonde hair down wet since there is no blower in this era. She's doing someone exercise like push-up and other exercise that are good for slimming as well as strengthens the muscles.

She went out of her room to get a tea when someone rush onto her direction and hug her tightly.

"I miss you, Sis. Where were you yesterday?"Ysa asked as she hug her.

Zelia messed with her hair, "I'm sorry, I was out of town yesterday. Anyways, how did I got here and did I just walk on my own through the bed?"Zelia asked.

Ysa shook her head, "No. His Majesty was the one who took care of you and besides he's also the one who gently put you on your bed."She said while grinning looking at her, poking with her shoulder, teasing her.

As soon as Zelia heard those, her jaw almost dropped, "What? How come?"

"You feel asleep that's why and you better thank His Majesty for his kind and consideration, he never carry a servant in a bridal style, 'ya know. When the servants and I saw His Majesty carrying you, our eyeballs almost popped up and our jaw almost dropped due to what we just witnessed yesterday."She said while teasing her making her slapped her forehead.

"That's not a good news. For sure, some of the servants were insecure and wanted to be the one who's in my position right now."Zelia said as she sigh, she wanted to have a low normal life as a citizen here to avoid any conflicts but in just a blink, she's already the talk of town, in short Famous.

"Yeah, you're right but don't mind those people who has nothing to do but to bad mouth someone just because they are insecure."She said as she move away from hugging Zelia.

She chuckled, "It's not like I'm gonna be hurt by what they said but if they would cross the line and do something that could provoke me, I'm gonna pay tenfold to them, either kill or torture."She smiled sweetly as she said those but her eyes were glaring.

Ysa slightly gulped at what she said, she never know that the Zelia that she always saw as a calm and a kind one has also hiding something behind those masks.

"Anyways, I'm gonna go to the kitchen."Zelia said as she starts walking out to the door of the Servant Room.

While Ysa followed her also.

"Sis, how's the love?" Ysa asked while looking at her like she was teasing her and wanted to hear some gossips

Zelia chuckled, "There is none. I haven't fallen in love nor wanted to be in love with someone."She said making Ysa's brow wrinkled.

"What do you mean by that? You haven't fallen for the Emperor yet?"Ysa asked curiously as Zelia went to the kitchen, grabbed the cup and put the tea bag and pour some hot water.

She smiled before she answered, "Is there any reason for me to fall in love with the Emperor?"

Ysa shook her head as she mumbled, "Good luck in pursuing Zelia, Your Majesty."

ZELIA went outside of the palace to have a fresh air since she's already done with her duties inside the palace, she went to were the fountain were located and sat to the bench while looking at the fountain.

"What are you thinking?"A baritone voice asked her.

"Nothing, I'm just looking at the water."She answer.

The Emperor went to her way and sat near next to her, "You bored?"

"Yeah, kind of."She answered honestly.

The Emperor tried to opened his mouth to respond when someone shouted on the gate, alerted the soldiers. Zelia could read the expression on that someone's voice, it was mourning, hurt and desperate.

Zelia stood up as well as the Emperor, they look at each other.

"Where are you going?"The Emperor asked without showing any emotions on his eyes making it difficult to read for her.

She sighed as she answered his question, "I'm going to see that person."

Before His Majesty could stopped her, she's already started walking through the gate, since the fountain near to the gate. The soldier stop Zelia but when they saw the Emperor beside them, they let her out of the palace and bowed their heads to the Emperor as a sign of respect.

When they finally get out of the palace's gate, Zelia saw an old woman begging the soldier, crying while her knees were on the ground which is full of small stones, she saw her knees were badly hurt and it's already bleeding.

She immediately went to her direction and let her up, "Why are you begging them?"Asked by Zelia as she guide her to sit.

She glare at the soldier, "Give the ointment before I kill you."

The soldier was about to protest but when they saw the Emperor who's giving them a cold glare, they nervously went inside of the palace to get some ointment.

The old woman starts crying, "M-My d-daughter went missing, it's already been one week but she never went home. She's 18 years old and she's not the type of person who would walk out of the house without letting us know. O-Other of our neighbors were also desperate in finding their daughter who was in their 18 and above eighteen, they were also missing. A lot of teenager was missing. Please help is."

"Where is you town?"Zelia asked.

"North of the Claw Clan."She answered as she started wiping her tears.

The soldier already back and handed the ointment, Zelia was the one who put some ointment on her knees.

"Thank you, young lady."She said.

She smiled, "It's my pleasure."

She look at the Emperor who was also looking at them, "Your Majesty, I want to help them and investigate this matter, would you allow me?"

"No. This matter is risky and dangerous, we don't have any leads about who's the person behind it. It's much better to leave it to the professional one."He answered immediately but she wouldn't take 'no' as an answer.

"Your Majesty, I want to help her. She lost her daughter and the other people in the North was mourning and desperate for help."She insisted.

"No. It's dangerous, just listen to me."The Emperor said.

"It's not. I want to help them, you just stay here in your palace. Don't worry, I'm gonna protect myself and be back immediately as soon as the matter would be taken down. This matter won't be solve if no one's gonna take an action to this."Zelia said seriously while looking at his Majesty.

"Fine, but I'll go with you."His Majesty answered making the soldier and the old woman widened their eyes in disbeliefs.

The soldier protests,"You Majesty, you're not supposed to go there, it's risky and dangerous, just leave this investigation to us."

Zelia also agree to their protests, "That's true, Your Majesty. You're not allowed to go with us."

"I can take care of myself besides I'll take Mae and Reves with me."The Emperor said making them sigh.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'm gonna take Reves and Mae some assistance. I already talked with Zerzus and he already agreed to be in the Palace and temporarily act like an Emperor."The Emperor said making Zelia's eyes widened.

"When did Zerzus agree with this? He's the type of a person who doesn't like to get involve with something like this."Zelia asked.

The Emperor answered, "Just a little bribe to make him agree. Don't mind it and let's just go."He said and he looked at the soldier, "Go, tell Reves and Mae, tell them to go to the North."

The Soldier bow their heads and answered in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."

His Majesty look at the carriage which is already placed in front of them, then he looked at Zelia and the old woman, "Let's go and solve this matter. Get in."

Just as what His Majesty ordered, they get in the carriage. Zelia was about to sit near the old woman when the Emperor grabbed her wrist and let her sit near next to him.

The old woman look at them with a smile plastered on his lips, "Thank you, Young lady and Your Majesty."

Zelia and the Emperor both answered, "Thank us when we already solve this matter."

The old woman smiled, "His Majesty' lover is a nice woman and gorgeous, she will became a good Empress in near future."

Zelia's face frowned at what she said, "I'm sorry but I'm not her lover but I'm a servant."

The old woman just smile but didn't answer to her question, instead she looked at the Emperor who has a sad expression glint on his eyes but immediately disappeared and replace it with an emotionless face.
