The Heart of the Cruel Emperor
14. Receiving First Invitation of a Lifetime

"Please hold on "

That's what Hani heard either his dream or his consciousness. Like a fresh breeze suddenly present cheered Hani. When he was in the darkness so far away.

...*********...

Hani's Day 3 is still not realized from his beautiful dream.

Emperor Ryu was so agitated that he felt guilty about not preventing Hani from eating the porridge that had been ruled by the cheche.

For atoning for his sinful guilt he ordered the Physicians to seek to treat the unconscious Hani.

Even secretly he also often visited Hani without others knowing.such as the night before he passed the window of the treatment house to enter the room that Hani occupied.

he did not want others to know it, because it would make the entire palace stir because a famous emperor Ryu cruel new this time worried someone to be willing to visit in the middle of the night.

"Emperor?" Someone greeted the emperor Ryu who had just arrived, making the Emperor a little surprised to find Ichiro in the treatment room.

"Ichiha? What are you doing here?" Emperor Ryu was curious because of the existence of ichiro.

"I was just checking her unconscious state" Ichiro casually replied.he was in the corner of the treatment room.

Leaning to look at Hani who is still closed, he so praised Hani's immunity . Just this time who found a servant of the Ryu Emperor who did not die after eating the Poison. Even the waiter before the poisoning never survived more than 3 days after his critical period.

But what is this? he found all parts of Hani's body fine. Even Hani's heart was perfectly normal after he checked.

"then what made an Emperor Ryu come here? " Ichiro only realized there was something strange about the nature of the late Ryu Emperor, he found that the Ryu emperor often visited Hani in the middle of the night without anyone knowing but himself.

"Just looking for some fresh air, and accidentally passing through the infirmary, I just want to know how strong my new servant is".

Emperor Ryu lies he does not want Ichiro to know that he is worried about Hani who has not come to his senses.

"is that so?" Ichiro makes sure .he knows Emperor Ryu lied to him. 'This time he lied to me. Ish... then who was the person I was looking at yesterday at the time of the examination if not him.

Ichiro smiled at the dark corner of the room. Since he carried Hani from the banquet hall, he had promised to help and treat Hani until he was healed.

according to Ichiro, it may be because of the actions of his sister-cheche who told Hani to eat poisonous porridge, thus making him responsible for the incident.he did not want Cheche to hurt innocent people anymore.

"yes" Emperor Ryu nodded .

"Well, while you're here I want to give you something"

"What?" Emperor Ryu was curious.

"From Emperor William" Ichiro handed over a paper scroll to Emperor Ryu "We had a short stop in the Tan Kingdom".

" How's William doing?"

"He's just getting the baby back"

"again? it's so great of him" Emperor Ryu showed off his smile.

"Didn't you and I lose to him?" Ichiro seduces Emperor Ryu .

"You alone, I don't. Even if I want to, I can sprinkle it on my concubines that the rotten ministers have prepared. But they're too cheap for me. If you're interested I can give you one of the best?" bargain Emperor Ryu raised his eyebrows .

while Ichiro shook his head to look at the behavior of emperor Ryu which changed slightly from the last time he left. He looks happy because of this girl?

Ichiro looks at Hani who is still unconscious.he is not yet conscious.However, the small movement of Hani's hand makes him a little happy .

"He'll be conscious". Ichiro immediately approached Hani who was lying down . he could see Hani's eyelids gradually opening.

The wry eyes were never missed by the gaze of emperor Ryu who remained inside the space. he turned toward the pointed Nose of Hani and his Red Lips that Ahhh Shit He remembered the events that he would never be able to forget.

Should he immediately get out of this room.he did not want to linger long see his waiter who just looked at him alone he could be tempted.

'Did I have the disorder of liking a bad girl like her? her skin is brown in contrast to the pretty girls the ministers have prepared for me'

"I Go" Emperor Ryu said goodbye without seeing Hani who had opened his eyes perfectly.

Hani could see Emperor Ryu passing from the room he occupied, because the first focus when he realized was the emperor Ryu who was in front of him.

"You're aware, do you want a drink?" Ichiro asks Hani's surprising daydreaming, causing Hani to turn her eyes to the side.

Hani felt remembered by the figure of the person who was beside him.wasn't he one of the guests at the dinner that night? he was very confused to see Ichiro being next to him.

"what master has helped the Servant?" Hani asked quietly because her throat was dry.

"Drink "the order of Ichiro and Hani obey him without protest. It is quite unexpected Usually Hani will refuse if someone forces him.

"Rest back, you need enough rest. "

"but.." Hani had not had time to ask, Ichiro had interrupted him first.

"you'd better get some rest. If you've recovered I promise I'll explain everything". Ichiro rubbed Hani's hair gently not knowing someone who was about to pass away had peeked at her from behind the window.

'Yesterday Hiro, now Ichiro. in the future who else? ' The emperor Ryu

" if you need anything you just call the Doctor on guard and these are the parcels of your visiting friends" point Ichiro towards some food parcels delivered by Hani's friends or others Hani knows the palace.

"they came to see you when you were unconscious"

"really??"

"hm, I have to go . There's something I have to take care of. And introduce my name is Ichiro"

"Mr Ichiro thank you for your help and everything" Hani was very moved there were still people who would help him when no one in his family was near him at this time.

"it's okay what it is my responsibility" Ichiro smiled occasionally rubbing Hani's black hair gently.

" Stay strong, you are indeed the greatest shield" explained Ichiro encouraging Hani to recover.he smiled sincerely for this time, he said,

all this time Ichiro never smiled for others. Even the closest person could only see his grinning smile like a demon ready to kill .

" Is Ichiro crazy?" the Emperor Ryu muttered as he wanted to leave.

"What?" Ichiro had been behind Emperor Ryu casually following Emperor Ryu silently.

" What was that? You smiling? You like that brown girl? " Emperor Ryu immediately raised a question.

Ichiro who saw Emperor Ryu blabbering pulled the corner of his brows did not understand.

"what do you mean, your majesty?"

"you" appointed emperor Ryu to Ichiro "are you interested in that girl? do you like it? my whole life just this time a girl can make you smile like that".

"like what?" Ichiro still remains unknown.he wants to play Emperor Ryu as jealous as he is to the girl named Hani.

" Forget it" the break-up of Emperor Ryu did not extend his remark.

......***********......

The night was late but the emperor Ryu stayed awake after visiting Hani at home. His imperial work has been completed . So now he can stretch his muscles and his brain to rest to welcome tomorrow.

Like him he won't make it. His eyes still don't want to be rested. And he ended up in the private room of his residence, unrolling the letter from the Tan Kingdom.

it turned out that it contained an invitation for the new born member of Tan's kingdom. 'I will not be present' just like in the past every invitation received by Ryu's emperor he will send someone to attend it. whether it's the commander of Hiro or anyone who can represent him.

netra Emperor Ryu kept rolling reading the invitation and there were words that disturbed his neutrality.

***you are required to present with a spouse. You, not someone else your representative.if not? you don't appreciate me anymore.

- William***

'Basic, so the cousin threatened me' Emperor Ryu has repeatedly said that he has no interest in attending an invitation. he is too tired to hear the talk of people who talk about him. And it makes him not like the crowd, because there bad talk grows and develops.

Emperor Ryu sighed 'good to welcome the successor of Tan kingdom what harm I present'

At the end of Emperor Ryu's decision he would come to an event for the first time.

'then which concubine will I invite to be my partner?'
