The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 2. Louis and Caesar
The goddess of the day came back up. Louis wakes up in a room but remembers nothing. His body was limp to move. The pain he now felt. I wanted to cry but I couldn't. He groaned in pain as he tried to move his hand. It was as if he didn't remember anything. He also doesn't know where he is now. But suddenly a middle-aged woman walked up to him, bringing him warm milk.
“Thank God you are aware, nak” he said.
“I where? My body ache”
“You're at my house. I found you lying in my garden in blood” replied the woman. Louis simply nodded, his eyes wandering around observing the surroundings, fearing if there was any danger lurking in him.
“You remember what your name is?” The man shook his head.
“Origin? Or maybe your home?” Louis kept shaking.
“Already, rest back, later I help restore your memory”
“Ah, do you know where my sister is?” louis asked for a moment that made the woman stupefied.
“What's the name?”
“Rion” believe me, Louis only remembers part of Rion's name, not remember his Caesar's name. “I don't know, but if you've improved let's search together” her replied.
The look on his face had shown a disappointment, to be honest he was disappointed but he could not do anything. After a while the woman was gone, suddenly a man came carrying drugs and tools that he would use to treat her body torn by the deep scratches caused from a bear.
“Hello son, I am the husband of the woman who gave you warm milk. I see when you haven't realized your wounds are deep and painful enough, your blood is reduced quite a lot but like a miracle you can still live” he said.
“Your wounds are deep enough to require stitches, can I sew a wound on your body?” Louis was stunned, even though he had never done this, but it would obviously be very painful for him. “If you are not ready, this is painful, but it requires a relaxed soul so as not to feel more pain” continued when not getting an answer from the little boy.
Louis finally answered. He sighed, “Mau”. The man smiled faintly, “all right, wait a minute huh, son. I get the medicine less first” he said. To be honest, Louis wasn't ready for this. The man's heart trembled violently at this moment while agreeing on his answer, but upon seeing the wound on his leg was slightly torn and on his shoulder which was quite severe, making him have to feel quite a terrible pain.
The man in the shabby shirt brought back painkillers. Louis' heart rate shook again when she found the man in front of her carrying the medicine for her. Louis was ordered to lie down again.His leg was injected with a needle that had been filled with drugs. It just so happened that the family who found him was someone who understood medicine.
"Take your heartbeat easy, son. It won't be long if you're not afraid" he said. The little man whimpered as a needle pierced through his skin. "Gurgh!!"
"What's your name, son?" the question that helped Louis was not too focused on his pain. "I forgot" Louis replied like that.
"Did you forget last night, too?" asked the old man who was sitting on a chair and was busy sewing his shoulders. "I only remember the time when I was struck by a large brown-haired figure, with long nails" Yes, right, Louis only remembered that time, not remembering anything else before the incident.
"Why did you get to be in the middle of a very vulnerable forest with a Grizzly bear?"
"I'm looking for my sister, whose name is Rion. Do you know?" The old man thought for a moment with Louis' question, then shook his head. "How many years old? how's character?"
"It's very early. Did your sister disappear in the woods?"
"I think it's yes"
"Well, where are you from?"
"I can't remember. I just remember, I was surprised to find my sister who lost a blink of an eye from me while I was playing with her"
Without feeling it seems soon the stitches will be finished, but still the pain remains on his shoulders. "Okay, it's done. But still you do not move too much" said the man who was immediately understood by the 8-year-old boy.
"I stay first, if you need enough help call me or my wife yes, son. Rest quickly" The man left Louis alone in a room dim enough for lighting. Just a Dian lamp.
"Caesar.." murmured Louis who still had time to think of his beloved brother who is now still missing without a trace. The tears she had blocked were now breaking down her smooth cheeks, her eyes slightly reddened.
The man bent his legs slowly, then hugged her. Putting his head on his knees while crying confused at the fate of his sister. "Sorry, mama, papa" he murmured.
To be honest, it seems he would like to leave this house tonight, looking for his sister to re-enter the forests, but he still feels trauma and very deep pain in his body. Until now his body is limp, what if he was attacked by a bear again, he could have died first.
The rain suddenly poured down on the kingdom that he did not know his name. But he realized that this is not his place to live, the environment is not like this, the neighborhood of the people in his work is more cruel than here.
But wait, Louis thought his memory was beginning to return, but he did not remember what kingdom he was from. He only remembered that he was the son of a king and a queen. Louis was eager to tell the old man who helped evacuate him earlier, but he felt bad. And choose to remain silent
...----------------...
Caesar was crying, roaring behind the old closet that trapped him. The sound of crying was quite loud but no one was aware of his crying.
The bakery opened again, the owner who had just been stunned by the sound of a baby crying which he still did not know where the baby's voice came from. The woman opened her closet one by one looking for where the baby was.
He was wide-eyed and half-deadly surprised to learn that a little boy was sitting crying in the cupboard where he had stocked flour to make his bread. "O MY GOD, SON!" he said that he immediately carried Caesar out to calm him down.
"God, what happened to you??! What baby are you?!" the woman was really worried about not being able to think about anything, if there was a baby here, people would think of her as stealing a baby because she herself was not married.
"Are you okay? god, forgive me" the woman muttered
"Don't cry, I'm here. Are you thirsty? Ah, wait a minute, I'll make you some milk, I have some ready-to-drink milk in the fridge. For a while drink it first yes, son" the woman left Caesar for a while to bring him milk, surely the boy was very thirsty.
After making milk. "Come on to my room first. I will accompany you" he said
