The Cold Empress But Very Loving
Part 38 is Love

Kajsar James ran over to Empress Ariana. Emperor James' heart almost stopped beating when he saw Empress Ariana's dress filled with blood stains, Empress Ariana's face was also stained with blood, and Empress Ariana's hand was still clutching a sword covered in blood.

"Where is Maria hurt?" emperor James asked, wiping the blood on Empress Ariana's face with a handkerchief which Emperor James hastily removed from his pocket.

Emperor James examined both sides of Empress Ariana's face, both ears of Empress Ariana, the nape and head of Empress Ariana to ascertain whether there were any injuries so that there was blood on Empress Ariana's face.

Emperor James moved to check the bloodstains on Empress Ariana's dress, making sure there were no wounds on Empress Ariana's body. The chest of Emperor James almost stopped beating because of the fear of seeing the state of Empress Ariana.

"Ariana, dear," said Emperor James.

"James" said Empress Ariana, embracing Emperor James.

"Calm down, it's safe, it's okay" Emperor James said in the arms of Empress Ariana.

Empress Ariana was terrified of losing Emperor James, when she saw a black-clad assailant jump behind Emperor James and intended to attack Emperor James from behind. If Ariana doesn't stop her, she could lose Emperor James.

Empress Ariana loved Emperor James even though Empress Ariana had not realized that Empress Ariana's heart had been stolen by Emperor James.

"It's safe, Ariana" said Emperor James.

Empress Ariana let go of her embrace of Emperor James and stood by Emperor James' side. Emperor James summoned the head of the army guard who was already standing behind Emperor James and Empress Ariana.

"Take care of the bodies of the assailant" Emperor James ordered.

"Continue the journey" Emperor James ordered the chief of the guards escorting Emperor James and Empress Ariana's journey back to the palace.

"Until the palace, facing the head of the palace army, this matter must be investigated" Emperor James ordered the head of the army's guard.

"What did you find?" asked Emperor James to the chief of the palace guards?"

"Look at these swords Your Majesty," said the Chief of the army guard while showing the sword to Emperor James.

"These swords belong to our assailant, and there's a small special mark on this sword," said the head of the bodyguard while pointing to a small triangular-shaped mark that was on the sword that was being held by the head of the army guard.

"All these swords bear the same mark" said the head of the army, pointing to several swords that had been stacked in a left corner not far from where Emperor James and the head of the army were.

"Investigate and report any developments in this investigation" the Emperor James ordered.

"Okay, Your Highness," said the head of the army guard.

Emperor James took Empress Ariana's hand and took her back to the horse-drawn carriage. The return journey to the palace will continue.

The horse-drawn carriage was back on its way and Sais the horse-drawn carriage sped up the speed of the carriage. Emperor James looked at Empress Ariana grateful that the state of Empress Ariana was fine without any injuries.

"Is the Empress okay?" ask the Emperor James.

"Your Majesty" replied Empress Ariana.

"Embler's stomach is there pain or cramping?" asked Emperor James while stroking Empress Ariana's stomach.

"There is no Majesty" said Empress Ariana.

"Who taught Empress Ariana to shoot and practice martial arts with a sword?" emperor James asked after seeing Empress Ariana turned out to be very skilled and proficient in martial arts using a sword and using firearms.

"General Ryan White" replied Empress Ariana.

"Since childhood, my father taught me" said Empress Anne.

"If you don't get out of the train it will be difficult to defend yourself. The car area is narrow, very limited" said Empress Ariana.

"If I don't come out, what will happen to His Majesty?" empress Ariana asked in a slightly slender voice. Empress Ariana felt a little exasperated by the question of emperor James.

Almost something bad happened to Emperor James if Empress Ariana had not gotten off the train. Perhaps the life of Emperor James was already in danger from being hit by a stab or sabetage of a sharp sword.

"Try Your Majesty think what will happen to Your Majesty if I don't get off the train?" ask Empress Ariana.

"Your Majesty must have been injured and must have been fatal with His Majesty's life" Empress Ariana said.

Empress Ariana's worried that I'm hurt?" ask the Emperor James.

"Worry" said Empress Ariana.

"Did Empress Ariana love me?" ask the Emperor James.

"Love," replied Empress Ariana in a dowry while turning her face away.

"The Queen said love to me earlier. Did my ears not hear wrong?" emperor James tried to tempt Empress Ariana.

" His Majesty misheard," Empress Ariana said curiously.

The beautiful face of Empress Ariana suddenly changed color. Empress Ariana's cheeks met red with shame.

Emperor James remained silent when he saw Empress Ariana turn her face away.

"Love, just now Empress Ariana said love" Inner Emperor James

Empress Ariana turned out to be worried about my situation and my love, "Emperor James turned to the side to look deeply at Empress Ariana. Empress Ariana was throwing away her face.

Empress Ariana felt a sense of tiredness enveloping her body. Empress Ariana was pregnant young and the act that Empress Ariana had just taken to defend herself and Emperor James when attacked by a mysterious assailant left Empress Ariana exhausted. Empress Ariana leaned her head against the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes. Empress Ariana fell asleep quickly.

Emperor James, who saw Empress Ariana fall asleep leaning her head against the side of the carriage wall, gently holding Empress Ariana's shoulder, and leaning Empress Ariana in the arms of Emperor James.

"My beloved Empress," the inner Emperor James.

Emperor James felt two incidents that occurred lately, namely the incident of Empress Ariana who almost slipped on the floor of a slippery staircase covered with cooking oil and the incident of an attack by an unknown person, aiming to harm Empress Ariana or also aiming to harm her.

"Who would want to harm Empress Ariana or harm me?" inner Emperor James.

Emperor James insinuated in his heart that whomever the culprit could not be tolerated, his actions were unlawful. Crimes against the Emperor of the ruler of the country or the Empress are grave crimes, the punishment for the culprit is the death penalty.

"These two events must have been interrelated" the inner Emperor James.

"The culprit must be immediately revealed and captured," the inner Emperor James.

"Who hates Empress Ariana so much or hates me?" inner Emperor James.

"Is Anne involved in all this?" the inner Emperor James was back in his heart.

"The man who made the staircase so slippery has not been revealed, there is no evidence he left behind" the inner Emperor James again.

"The only person who had served in the villa a few days before the slippery rung incident because it was covered in cooking oil was a new servant named Mila," the inner Emperor James.
