EMPEROR: The Untold Story
Warmth

Adinda woke up in the afternoon in a state of all body aches.

His neck is painful.

The first thing he saw was the family doctor and several nurses surrounding him.

Just then Adinda realized she was wearing a neck brace. And his hand is digips.

Apparently during the strangulation scene, the intruder's knee pressed Adinda's thin and frail arm, so there was a slight sprain.

The last one he remembered was the Emperor.

The emperor came and attacked the intruder.

Blindly.

A lump of flesh full of blood hit the wall.

Then the smoldering red eyes looked at him haughtily.

“Kai?” muttered Adinda. At that time he was still in a state of not being fully aware.

“Miss Xavier,” doctor murmured, “if you can hear my voice, try to follow my finger,” the doctor tried to test whether Adinda can receive verbal stimulation. Usually done when the patient is aware of fainting or coma.

Adinda looked at the doctor's fingers and followed him.

“Good, next, try to mention your name,”

“Eum... Dinda..”

“Good, now what do you feel in your body? What can you move?”

“Hem..” She tried to look, then groaned. Extraordinary pain, “Sesak, and soreness,”

“I give paracetamol yes Miss, and.. actually Mr. Xavier entrust the dosage of morph-“

“I don't want to be contaminated with narcotics,” cut Adinda fast.

The doctor smiled in agreement. Then nod in salute, “You strong woman, Miss,”

The Emperor walked slowly down the Velladurai Castle.

With a mocking grunt, he floated his red eyes against every part of the room.

Humans are so strange, they work half-and-half! The grunt in the heart.

For example, this building.

Called ordinary people's houses, but the room is too large.

Called headquarters, but the furniture is like at home, making people not focus on working and more lounging on soft sofas.

Called a palace, too small. Called a castle, too narrow. Called residence, too much activity.

So what is this house called Adinda? Like a people's house that just found hundreds of tons of spices and suddenly became rich. So his lifestyle is excessive but actually not capable.

Too many useless things here.

Several housekeepers in maroon-colored uniforms appeared to step aside as the Emperor passed by. With trembling they spontaneously lowered their heads as the Black Tiger passed by them.

The emperor was only a prisoner here, neither was any part of this family.

You could say, its existence here as a pet.

It was not worth it that the servant lowered his head.

But...

The aura of the King in his figure was very obvious.

Even if it is in the form of a tiger.

Why did the Emperor decide to explore the Castle?

No other than that, he was trying to investigate where the intruder could get into Adinda's room.

When viewed, Adinda's room is right under the guards' office, and is above the machine room.

That means, the security is super tight.

The Emperor also wanted to see what human work was like other than fun. How an ordinary person like Xavier Velladurai could have everything.

His men numbered as many as the guards in the Emperor's palace.

He was an ordinary man without any magical powers.

Upon entering the terrace in the basement, the Emperor saw Valent and some of his men playing cards at a round table.

Smoke from cigars and the smell of alcohol filled the room with mahogany walls.

The Emperor's vegetables could hear their conversation.

"For one homeless man, a dozen of my men were shot" grumbled Valent. "He considers what human life is,"

"It's time we protest, Xavier is so arrogant. If we attack a lot, he will retreat" Gallard threw a dollar bill into the middle of the table.

"He thought himself God, could punish as he pleased," Luis exhaled smoke from his cigar upward, "He even bought a Tiger and he set free to walk around the house. Must be a spy for us,"

"If you think we deserve to rebel, please tell me. Will be curled up" sizzled Valent. "I have unlimited access to Velladurai's assets. What I don't have yet remains the Throne, and Adinda,"

The emperor entered the room and sat down in front of Valent.

All the members stood up and ran away. They cocked their weapons as fast as lightning and aimed at the Emperor.

Wine spilled, abandoned cigars that began to burn dollars on the table, dice and fallen cards scattered.

And Valent... The one who remained seated in his place, kept folding his legs, and threw the cards in his hand towards the Emperor.

"What?" challenge to the Emperor.

The Emperor just sat and was silent as he stared at the blond-haired human with a skin full of tattoos in front of him.

The tiger realized that Valent had not dealt with him in the first place. The one who must account for his existence in this castle is Xavier. Xavier's men who caught him in the woods, Xavier's men also shot him.

Valent did not even know the figure of the Emperor would come in his life.

And Valent... Indeed the most trusted person guarding Xavier's treasure.

Differences, though,

But Valent, must pretend to be faithful for his survival.

"Val, just shoot how? He won't understand what's going on, anyway,"

"Our conversation was heard by him just now" sighed Valent.

"But he can kill us all,"

"Yes, he can. And he's bulletproof,"

"He's bulletproof?!"

"Come on.." sizzled Valent, looking at the Emperor, "Because if he's vulnerable, he won't dare to enter here,"

"He's just a tiger, Val,"

"Ohya? Normal animals won't observe CCTV closely, even tracing the castle to investigate the crack" Valent snorted.

Emperor snarls. Then his lips formed a smile.

He walked past Valent looking through the room.

It sounded as Valent sighed in relief as the Emperor's gaze slipped from him. Frankly, he's not used to being targeted by predators. Because usually he's the one who's aiming, not being targeted.

The emperor seemed to be sitting upright in front of the weapon room. His eyes moved through the collection of weapons displayed in many iron cabinets.

An ordinary tiger, would not glance at that seintens. Usually their heads will follow the direction of the eyes.

But the emperor was different. It is clear that he is memorizing the mechanism of human weapons today.

Seeing the Emperor's behavior that no longer surprised him, Valent waved his hand, giving codes to his men to lower the weapon.

"Val?" hiss Luis was frightened, reluctant to lower his barrel because he felt threatened.

"If I give you one piece of evidence, will you put the gun down?" his Valent.

"Proof... what?" stuttering Luis.

"Hey, Kai," call Valent. The Emperor turned towards him slowly, but did not move from his place. How haughty the tiger is, Valent thought annoyed.

"Sitting next to me, I present Dom Perignon 1984," Valent held up a glass bottle with an exclusive design.

The Emperor snorted, then went up and sat down next to Valent.

"You and I are love rivals. We should know each other..." Valent pulled the table in front of Kai and poured the liquid inside the bottle over the bowl. "In addition, we both hate the same people,"

With his claws, the Emperor shifted the remaining array of cards on the table. Then open.

Royal Flush's.

And calmly licked the bowl filled with his liquor.

As everyone left her room, Adinda looked at the ceiling and thought.

What just happened?!

Yeah, because it all happened so fast. Whereas in one second he was soaking, in another second he was already strangled by an unknown person!

And...

Holy hooch! The place it happened in this room!

Faintly Adinda can still remember the incident this morning. Though all seemed blurry as he was suffocating and dizzy, he clearly saw the Emperor coming and...

“He throws the man to..sana,” hiss Adinda. Suddenly horror struck.

The condition of his room is now clean from blood stains and there are no bodies.

But still the place where it happened was in this room!

With her hands still working, Adinda gripped the blanket. He regretted getting everyone out of this room. Know that he asked one to accompany him!

Then the girl looked for her phone, she intended to call one of the servants or at least, Valent who came to the room and accompanied her.

But...

His phone did not meet.

I don't know where.

At that time, the Door of Adinda's Room was open.

Almost Adinda gave a relieved nap.

But next he was strangled

Because the one who went into his room, not a human.

Except the one he was always wary of.

Emperors

He knew that the Emperor was his helper. But on the other hand. The tiger is dangerous. He could have mistakenly pounced on Adinda at that time.

The Emperor walked slowly but with firm steps. The direction looks definitely next to Adinda's bed.

And the giant Black Tiger went up to the bed of Adinda.

He approached Adinda who could only lie down limp.

While sitting and resting his head on the floor next to Adinda, he began to snore slowly.

From his movements, it felt that he was actually trying to accompany Adinda who constantly felt scared and insecure.

On the other hand, Adinda who was currently in a traumatic state towards others, instead felt the presence of the Emperor beside her made her safe.

It was shaking, though,

Yet somehow, the Emperor's body felt warm.

In his eyes, the Emperor who was at the last moment helping him left quite a deep impression.

His subconscious began to respond and understood that around the Emperor, he would be spared from threats.

The younger brother closed himself on the Emperor's back.
