CHAPTER 11

Heolstor remained in his office for more than three hours. After a fight and locked Cecilia in a room. He did not get up from his seat and continued to think very hard.

I kept thinking and it made my head hurt. I already suspected someone. But, something was missing. Looks like I have to plan everything from start.

...

Empress work room.

Finally the pile of paper was finished. I can relax now. My hands are sore, I can't move my hands anymore.

"Empress Cecilia?."

"Arthur?, What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, want to meet you right now".

"Heolstor?."

I followed Arthur from behind. We headed for a part of the palace that I had never been to before. Arthur pointed out a room in the hallway. I asked him and he said he could only get me here.

Cecilia walked down the quiet hallway. The hallway only contained objects she had never seen. Cecilia was starting to get scared, but she worked up the courage to keep going.

Heolstor, where are you?. Why did you call me here?. If you want to call me, why do you have to be in this place?. Shitty Heolstor.

"Heolstor?, Where are you?."

Cecilia felt an unpleasant air. She looked right and left of the hall. When she saw a room with an open door. Someone grabbed her shoulder from behind.

"Kya ..... don't bother me. Go away evil spirit."

"Cecilia?."

I looked at the voice that was calling my name. My heart is beating very fast, while looking back and in accordance with the expectations.

"Heolstor?!."

"What are you doing?."

"I should have asked, Dear Heolstor. Why did you call me here?. Then, why does it have to be a place like this?. There is still another place we can use. You don't know how scared I am? ....."

Cecilia continued to advise Heolstor endlessly. Heolstor just listened and walked past him.

"Hey, did you hear me?."

Heolstor did not answer and continued his steps.

"Heolstor?."

What's wrong with him?.

On the other hand, Heolstor continued his steps and think about Cecilia's earlier words. Her face blushing, he tried not to show her expression and continued to do a flat face.

Previously what did she call me?. I heard that right?. Surely she didn't say it on purpose. Don't be too happy.

"We have arrived."

"Where are we?."

I entered the room which consisted of large windows. The sunlight made the whole room very bright. The room with green and white walls makes the room feel elegant. Strangely, there is a bed in it.

"What place is this?."

"Cecilia sleep here."

"What?, Why should I ... Kya."

Heolstor held Cecilia up like a bride and put her to sleep on the bed.

"What do you want?."

My face flushed, he took off his outer garment and all that was left was a shirt with open buttons at the chest. What is he doing?. Is this including the punishment I get?. But there was no way Heolstor would have done that. What should I do next?.

Heolstor leaned next to Cecilia and stared at her continuously. Cecilia was silent and continued blushing. She took the blanket and covered herself.

"What Your Majesty want from me?."

"Why are you speaking in formal language?"

"I mean, are we going to do it now?. I'm not ready to do it. I'm sorry for my mistake. I won't do it again. Please forgive me."

Cecilia kept pleading with Heolstor. She didn't know what to do now, all she thought about was apologizing for everything she had done.

"What is wrong with you?."

"Pardon?."

"I just want you to rest from your job. I have given you a tough job."

"Hah?.."

Cecilia was confused and tried to digest Heolstor's words. She continued to digest and finally her face blushed like an octopus, then fell off the bed.

"Cecilia? Are you all right?"

"Yes .."

So the reason he called me here was just that?. I've been thinking nonsense. What are you doing? You idiot Cecilia. Get rid of the evil thoughts in yourself now.

"You called me here just for rest?"

Heolstor nodded his head. After Cecilia saw Heolstor's answer, she fell silent. He stood up and told Heolstor.

"Do you know how scared I am?. I thought you were still angry with me because of the past incident. At least please tell me more clearly, what is your real goal?. You always make me afraid and think nonsense. That part of you that makes me hate with your attitude. "

Cecilia sat on the bed and turned her back to Heolstor. Cecilia didn't want to see his face. Heolstor looked at Cecilia from behind and gave her a hug.

"I'm sorry."

"..... I'm sorry too, Heolstor."

At the end, I fell asleep in his arms all night. It seems I am so tired, that I fall asleep very soundly compared to before. When Heolstor hugged me, the burden was on my mind. Disappeared in an instant, made me calm and comfortable.

...

"Cecilia .... Cecilia .... Wake up."

I opened my eyes after he called my name in his soft voice. I woke up and looked around.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, are you slept well?."

"Yes."

Heolstor got out of bed and put his official clothes back on.

"You're going to work again?."

"The work lately is very complicated, I want to finish it soon. I'm going to go first, see you Cecilia."

Heolstor?, Becoming a emperor must be very difficult for you. I shouldn't have brought you trouble. Should I just forget the letter?. I don't want to bother him anymore.

"Again, believe me."

.....

Emperor Working Room.

"Your Majesty, this is your schedule for the next few days."

"Okay, have you told Briana?."

"Of course, Your Majesty."

Time always runs like a spinning wheel. Cecilia was getting used to her new life. Cecilia said she didn't want to discuss the matter at that time. She will wait for the right moment. She wanted to run her day without thinking about past problems. I became calmer because of it. 

"Arthur."

"Yes, Your Majesty?."

"Quickly finish this job."

"Of course."

Heolstor and Arthur who were tidying up the nearly finished pile of paper. Heard a call from outside the room and a maid entered the room by breaking the door.

"Your Majesty! ... Your Majesty!."

"What happens?."

"Empress Cecilia....."

Heolstor and Arthur hurried towards the Emperor and Empress's room. The moment I want to enter the room, I saw Cecilia who was lying limply on the bed. I headed towards her and sat beside her.

"What happened?."

Briana enters the room and explains everything to Heolstor.

"Empress Cecilia and I were walking in the palace gardens for some fresh air. Everything was fine, until the empress fell and felt short of breath."

"After that?."

"I instructed the empress to breathe slowly, but after that the empress lost consciousness."

This incident keep happening as time goes by. When she was celebrating her birthday, she also felt the same way. What this is happening?. Why did all this have to happen to Cecilia?.

"I'll be here for a while. Briana tells the court doctor to continue treating Cecilia."

"Of course."

"Arthur, you tighten the guard at the palace. We will temporarily close all the palace gates until the situation stabilizes."

"Of course."

Arthur and Briana saluted and quickly carried out orders from Heolstor. All orders were carried out and the atmosphere in the palace became very complicated. Heolstor continued to be in the room and held Cecilia's hand, which had not yet awakened from her sleep.

"Cecilia ...."

End Chapter 11.
