EMPEROR: The Untold Story
Preparation

“Lena?” The emperor knocked on one of the rooms in the factory while looking inside.

The first time she saw him in the room was Gallard, lying on the couch bleeding, and he was closing his eyes with his arms. A cigarette tucked in his lips while still breathing.

The emperor approached Gallard while folding both arms in front of his chest. “Sickness is only a moment,”

“Hm,” hiss Gallard.

“Where is he?”

Gallard pointed upwards.

Lena, was perched on top of the balcony railing, with her fiery wings and seemed to be licking the blood still stuck to the back of her hand.

He's already full.

The phoenix princess, lowered her head down, then flew towards the Emperor.

The man spread out his arms, greeted Olena's body and hugged her.

Olena leaned on the Emperor's shoulder like a toddler finding her parents. Snuggle up and rest. “Agha...” hisses. His voice was clear and his tone was like singing.

Khayangan voice. But it sounds heartbreaking.

“Ya,” hiss Emperor.

“And Conrad,” Add Olena.

“Stop your heart,” hiss Emperor.

Olena crying. Her tears were like magma flowing. “Dad and Mother..”

Olena's tears fell on the Emperor's skin. The man frowned because of the pain. Magma drops burned his skin. Make the area dripped gossam and blacken, “Where do you know?” hisses.

“Orion shared his memory with me,” Olena showed his arm that had been bitten by Orion.

“Kak,” Olena raised her face to look into the eyes of the Emperor, “When I wish I woke up, the first person I saw mentioned his name to me, so that I can forget everything about that war and serve the new Master,”

“Hai, my name is Gallard, the first person you see in this world,” Gallard muttered while still lying down and covering his face.

“Thank you for feeding me, Gallard,” Olena smiled at him.

“Sama-sama,” muttered Gallard cuek, “Sial, so dizzy my head,”

“You lose a lot of blood, lie down in a moment,” hiss Emperor. “And thank you for mentioning the name Olena Of Zafiry instead of mentioning your name,”

“I'm offended you don't believe me, Boss,” sis Gallard.

“I'm sorry,”

“I'm sorry,”

The Emperor lowered Olena and raised the woman's face, then wiped away her tears. Although he knew his skin would burn if he did so, the Emperor did not care. “We will meet Conrad, tomorrow,” hiss Emperor.

“Kak, I feel Conrad is not her,” Olena looks massaged her forehead, “She is overpowered by something. He doesn't want everything to happen, but he also has grief for his past. And this power..make his heart die,”.

“We also think so. The Greatest had mastered it all along,”The Emperor dyed Olena's fingers. “What do you feel now?”

“I feel...very deep sadness,” Olena closed her eyes. He tried to dive into the heart of his twin brother who was far away there. “Like...you want to prevent something but not power because you have already sold your soul to the devil. And that deal can't be undone or you yourself will die,”

“Agreement..” Emperor murmur. “Is there such a thing in Zafiry's Wizardry?”

“Sorry to interrupt your conversation,” Gallard raised his hand, “Olena, can you get dressed, I started not focusing on resting. You demons love to tel4njang anyway,”

**

That night, they set up a strategy.

But designed like anything possible Conrad will do recklessly remain.

“She already has no heart, Agreement with the devil gnawing on her good side. What is there now, what is left is only its dark part,” Olena said upon hearing various plans.

“So any plan is the same. The possibility of failing remains above 60%,” Valent said with a sigh.

“What's the worst part?”

“He will take me and Orion. Then it could be kidnapping your lover. His obsession is Agha, and since Agha is gone, Xavier's sister will be his impeachment. Worst of all, he will force by all means to make Adinda do a Blood Covenant with him,”

“The Blood Covenant must go through the consent of the heirs. I, Olena and Orion must agree and voluntarily give the best of their bodies, and the Blood Covenant is valid and enforceable,” the Emperor said.

“Oh, he can make us agree. I said, all the way. That means Everything,” Olena said.

“You mean by threatening?” the Emperor's grunts underestimated.

“More than that. He could have hurt everyone here, for you to say ‘Baik’, The war will repeat itself. You want the people of Zafiry to be tormented a second time? Conrad knows your weakness, brother,”

The Emperor's smile disappeared, replaced with tension.

“But one thing... he will not hurt Adinda,” hiss Valent.  “Agha lives within Adinda, just as Albert lives within me. I can feel it. But in a much better blend, more alluring. Like when someone repents, promises to do good things... Adinda version ‘suci’nya. So obviously Conrad wants it. Could be, if he saw Adinda directly, Conrad could have wanted Adinda more than Agha,”

“Betul, I agree with him,” says Olena, “Agha covered with ‘blut’ his greed will Cyril. But Adinda is still innocent and her life is spoiled by affection. Their past is different, the formation of their nature is clearly different,”

“Conrad is now stronger than you, brother. Because he was vengeful. Please be careful,” said Olena.

“What is the worst possibility so that the blood agreement does not happen?” Michael joined them.

“One of the heirs died after he said ‘I don't blessing’. Then his word will remain,”

“The time is now a wedding is no longer the main thing. I consider Marriage and the Blood Covenant the same,” Michael said. “So what is the important thing of this Agreement, there must be a prominent right, so from earlier you were talking about it,”

“Jiwa will unite. Until forever. If one dies, the other will die too. If one begins to love the other, both will die. There will be no betrayal. Another thing, the power will unite. The sister will inherit the power of her partner. He will be able to change form, his ability will be equal, even live a long life like his partner,”

“Wah, it seems that humans will need such an agreement. Too many cheats in our lives,” Michael sissed while stunned.

Valent rubbed his forehead desperately, “Then, all we can do is improvise,”

Then the state of silence.

In silence, they stared at the hundreds of Zafiry people sitting there. They began to choose one room at a time as their home. Their faces seemed comfortable with the new, abandoned factory house that was now designed as closely as possible to their home of origin.

“They were only babies as I hugged them,” hiss Olena while wiping her tears a sign of novelty, “I can't let them dissolve in suffering, they're my children.”.

“Our kids too,” hiss Emperor. “I'll do my best for my kingdom,”

The emperor realized something important. What is precious to him is his Kingdom. People Zafiry. From the beginning it was just them.

But Agha, now incarnated as Adinda, is more valuable to Conrad than anything else. Conrad was willing to sacrifice the Kingdom and his family just for Agha. He does not seek riches and thrones. He just needs love from Agha.

“Maybe I will part temporarily from Adinda,” hiss the Emperor quietly while pensive.
