EMPEROR: The Untold Story
Surgical procedure
“Prince!!”
“Princess!”
“Bring infusion!”
“Prepare the operating room!”
“How can it happen?”
“Prince Conrad how?!”
“Prepare the equipment!”
“The Wizard, Princess Olena, do you need a surgeon from the university?”
“All quiet,”
“Boood of the Best,”
About 15 hours later.
The atmosphere at that moment was silent, there was only a spotlight of lights. The silence was gripping, to the point that all were afraid of their breath being heard and breaking Valent's concentration.
“Gunting,” his Valent.
Olena held out a pair of scissors to him, then looked down again while concentrating.
“Pinset,” hiss Valent while turning to check the electrosurgical machine, a machine that can drain electric current, commonly used to prevent patients from losing too much blood.
Stably.
Then Olena checked the lung ventilator, and,
Stable too.
With a worried face, Valent stared at the other bed. At the end there, behind Olena, was the body of the Giant Tiger lying motionless.
There was only his breathing slowly rising and descending.
“She is also stable,” hisses Olena is trying to calm Valent.
Valent took a breath, then looked back down while taking the gauze.
DEG.
Valent stop. He focused his hearing.
Silence, there is only the sound of the support machine.
Then he took back the bandage, to bandage the wound on Orion's neck.
While Olena was concocting a magic potion made from their feathers and a bit of the scales of Hatred Orion to heal the wound faster.
“It's ready,” Olena took the syringe and put the herb into it, then checked the dosage.
Valent holds the gauze and allows Olena to inject the magic potion before wrapping it again.
DEG.
Valent was silent again.
Some moments.
DEG.
DEG.
DEG.
Heart sounds.
Not the heart of Orion. It's weaker and feels like a distance away.
And it sounds plural. More than one.
“Why?” whispered Olena was aware of Valent's change in attitude.
Valent glanced in all directions.
There's only the two of them there.
DEG.
Valent inspects the life support machine.
Stably.
“You heard that?” ask Valent.
“Sound what?” ask Olena.
DEG.
“That voice, you didn't hear?”
Olena shut up for a second. “Sepi here,”
“I'm sure I heard the sound of heart pounding,” hiss Valent.
“Your heart, maybe?”
“Then I should have heard it dong,”
“True too. What does it sound like?”
“Weak and.. many,”.
“Many?”
“Ya,”
“Yes, I'm sure. Even now I hear it,”
Olena then moved to the back, and pushed a machine near them. While Valent had finished wrapping the wound on Orion's neck while checking the breathing of the girl in front of him who was now a giant black snake.
“Try checking,” says Olea while handing the hilt hanging on that machine.
“USG Machine?”
“Ya,” said Olena, “If there is any peculiarity, it can be detected,”
While obeying Olena, Valent frowned feeling strange, “We are witches and demons, this time depends on human tools,”
“If their energy is so weak, we can't detect it, Gabriel. We also have limitations,” Olena said. She refused to call Valent by the name ‘Valent’ or ‘Albert’, because like Orion, Olena assumed that both names belonged to others. The energy Valent put out was also different from the energy Albert put out. Valent is more energetic and structured.
“And we are also too tired to channel the energy in. We may even faint,” continued Olena.
“Power in, feels like a kungfu film,”
“Yes I see too often. The film was only trying to show that such a scene is actually real and can, but packaged in cinematography so the message can be channeled to the intended course, while the public considers it a joke. To protect their ancient secrets,”
“You and your theory, surely you used to be the kind that many people shun yes.” hiss Valent.
Olena is ticking, “I'm too nerdy, my job is just reading books and browsing the internet,” murmured.
“Hey, Lena..” Valent raised his face and looked at Olena, “Not many of Albert's memories show you,”
Olena nodded, “I'm a Phoenix. I'd rather be alone in goa,”
“So you and Albert also rarely meet,” while chatting Valent reach USG screen to check the tissue damage in Orion's body. They do not have many tools such as scanning and x-ray, because the situation is very urgent. His men could only work on these tools borrowed from a nearby medical university.
“Keep it bright, Gabriel. I've met you more than Albert. We've been together for 15 hours, almost 16 hours. Record for me. In the past, I was with someone for about 1 hour, even with Conrad, my own twin brother,”
“Why is that?”
“I'm disinclined with others,”
“You're a princess,”
“The third princess barely has any responsibility but gets a lot of facilities from the kingdom. So there's no reason for me to intentionally actively socialize,”
“That's the name of an introvert. Acute version,” murmured Valent.
“Hm, could be,” hiss Olena grinned.
“Justice,”
“I'm not that bad,”
“That's not what I mean,”
“Ya?”
Valent held out the USG stick towards Olena, “You see for yourself and make sure that I'm not crazy,”
But Valent's face felt different when giving up the tool.
Then the man sat on the floor while covering his face. But Olena could see a smile on her lips.
Olena traced Orion's body for a while.
And get to the stomach...
“Orion pregnant..” Olena flabbergasted, “Yes God, your son is 13!”
Valent raised his face in flabbergasted, “How many?!”
“At least, there are a dozen eggs in it!” exclaim Olena.
“So I saw only one!” Valent takes the USG from Olena's hand.
“From your side it only looks 1, you try to see from my side and a little down!” Olena pointed to the screen.
Valent retraced Orion's belly while staring at the USG screen. While his mouth commits - we count.
“You are right.. there are 13... Whoa crazy!” kekeh Valent's.
“You are so noisy, this is an operating room! Let me sleep quietly!” sahut the Emperor from the end there. He wakes up to the noise of Valent and Olena.
“Bro! Bro don't sleep first bro!”
“You're..” The Emperor complained as he put his head back on the bed.
“You'll have a nephew!”
“What?” he raised his head again.

Don't try to find me, my place isn't in your world. Believe me, you are the only one I love until the end of my life.
Adinda looked at the paper. Paper with classic handwriting.
Located on his desk.
A code, a code,
In accordance with what has been announced.
When the paper is there, so plan B has been planned.
He had known before, but when this arrived, in fact his heart still felt tight.
If there's a plan B, then Conrad has already defeated the Emperor. Something that Adinda did not expect.
But if Adinda comes with them, it could take more victims.
But the girl did not know, if in fact the Emperor almost won, if not for Xavier's carelessness.
