Chapter 29
It was indeed painful for her. That's what happened that time, and it was still clear in her mind. But she gathered all her confidence and strength to face him once again. To apologize and to make him feel her genuine feelings of care and love for him. She heard he's sick as of the moment, and it's probably due to the pain of the lashes he received. She was embarrassed, but she mustered all her remaining courage to visit him, despite how he treats her.
"Emperor," she greeted when she arrived in the chamber. The emperor was lying on his bed with bandages around his body. The blood was still fresh and evident; it looks like he's just come out of the dungeon.
"What the fuck are you doing here? Fucking leave!" The Emperor immediately yelled. She closed her eyes to compose herself. She's not here to get hurt; she's here to help. But damn, it's already painful.
She bowed. "I just want to help you. Please let me help. My intention is pure and clean; I won't do anything you don't like. I'm just here to help; please allow me."
The Emperor threw the nearest thing on him to her, and it almost hit her face. Knowing that the Emperor is a sharp shooter, she's lucky he does not intend to hit her. He targeted her side to scare her. "I don't need your fucking help, hypocrite servant! Fucking leave me alone!" He yelled.
She's the type of person who'll cry once she gets yelled at. And she couldn't contain her emotions at all. Her tears flowed freely down her cheeks. She's embarrassed by the way he acts toward her, but that didn't stop her. She really wants to help.
"Please, let me help. I don't want to see you suffering; it breaks my heart." She trembled while she signed, and the Emperor was taken aback. She thought he'd let her do things easily, but she almost jumped on her spot when he shouted once again.
"For what? For you to compensate with your sins against me? Because you've fooled me enough and your conscience couldn't take it?" he angrily spouted, making her confused. What is he mad about? Because she couldn't tell him anything? Well, she's literally scared and doesn't remember her background at all. What can she possibly do with that?
"I don't know what you're talking about, but please let me help you." She offered once again and placed the medicine at the table beside the Emperor's bed. "If there's something bothering you about me, please let's talk it out and let me explain slowly. I'm finding everything hard to convey."
"Argh, fuck!" The Emperor groaned when his back hit the headboard when he tried to lean heavily.
She panicked; she immediately went to him to help, but he slapped her hands, making her stun and sob silently. What did he just do?
"I've told you to leave, haven't I? I don't need an imposter under my roof. Leave before I get rid of you. Leave this place," the Emperor warned.
But she just bowed and shook her head repeatedly while she cried. "I can't, your majesty."
"And why the fuck is that?" The Emperor asked in annoyance.
She sighed heavily and faced him bravely. "Because I promised to serve you with my life."
"That's fucking bullshit! I don't care about that promise. I don't need someone like you. What happened between us meant nothing. You're nothing but a toy," he said with a point in every word.
That really hurt her. She backed away. "Emperor..."
"Argh, fuck! This is all because of you! I'm being punished because of you. Why don't you just leave? When I tell you to leave, just fucking leave, alright? You're always putting me in danger! I'm always in trouble because of you! I think you're my fucking nemesis; what a dilemma you are!" He screamed, making her cry louder.
