It was spring. Flowers blooming, trees greening. The earth is warm with the light of spring.
In the middle of such a beautiful flower bed, Regis knelt in front of Roxena, taking out a box containing a ring.
“Married to me, Xena,” applied Regis to the woman of his heart, who was so beautiful and shining.
Roxena reached out her hand accepting the proposal. Regis smiled with relief, immediately pinning the ring on Roxena's ring finger.
“Thank you for accepting me, Xena.” Both kissing. Shortly after the proposal, the kingdom would wage war with the enemy state. At the time, Gerald was outside the kingdom, performing diplomatic duties.
Because it was a big war, Regis as Crown Prince plunged directly along with the commander of the elite troops, Roxena.
This great war they have a small chance of winning, fearing things that are not desirable, Regis and Roxena decide to marry secretly. Plunge into the battlefield with the status of husband and wife.
After about six months of fighting, they finally came home with victory. Welcomed with the joy of the people of the kingdom. Regis's dignity as Crown Prince had clearly risen sharply. The celebration was made so festive, seven days and seven nights. On the last night, Regis announces something that sets the kingdom on fire as well as a national heartbreak day.
Their marriage was secret. Their relationship received the blessing of both families. Roxena, who is the daughter of a duke, is known to have a good reputation, smart, and strong because of a swordmaster, suitable to be an empress. Strong couples complement each other will bring glory to the government. Only one person could not accept that reality.
Gerald. He was so angry to know the fact. And his anger led to a rebellion that killed Regis and the Roxena family. The Emperor and Empress fell ill and eventually died, Gerald ascended the throne to become Emperor with Roxena as Empress.

Roxena wiped away her tears, she had just recalled the past. The shock that was mostly deeply piercing his heart. But he has to be able to face it.
Tired of the flight today, also with his own heart, drowsiness attacked Roxena. The woman fell asleep.
While on the other hand, Erin contacted Gerald to get to LS headquarters immediately. It will be delivered by Sophia and Lily. It just so happens that today is Sunday. According to Erin, Gerald was desperately needed by Roxena.

Meanwhile, before being contacted by Erin, Gerald had already cooked for dinner, waiting for Roxena's return. Knowing he was told to come to LS, Gerald rushed over. Unpleasant feeling for a moment. He was afraid that Roxena would get hurt.
Xena please. You should be fine! Don't get hurt, okay.
I'll be here soon. Be patient.
Gerald repeatedly asked Sophia to go faster. He could not calm down, restless in his sleep. The messages are not answered. Roxena is not okay.
About 1 hour later, they arrived at LS. Gerald who knew the location of Roxena's room immediately ran fast after getting out of the car.
"DANNE!!" Open the door and call Roxena.
Roxena who was too tired and soundly heard the voice but was reluctant to face the eyes. He just mumbled in response. Leaving Gerald so panicked.
"Xena, are you okay? Xena?"
Shaking Roxena's body slowly. Highlighting her eyes were extremely anxious, Roxena did not open her eyes.
"Miss is resting, sir. He's fine." Fortunately sending a letter came to calm Gerald's worries and fears.
"Really?"
"Listen to Miss' breath" pointed at Erin.
Then Gerald listened quietly. His heart was relieved to realize that it was only his concern. Roxena was sound in her sleep.
There's a sense of guilt. "I'm sorry" he said, then peeked at Roxena's forehead.
"When did you guys arrive?" Lost worry it's time to interrogate Erin. Why Roxena went home to LS, not to the apartment straight away. Is there anything serious?
Something serious? Is it …. How to widen his eyes.
"Erin .. does .. Xena know about Elisa in Madrid?"ask Gerald to make sure.
Erin nodded in confirming. "Where is Elisha now?"
Erin's gaze instantly sharpened.
"I was worried about him. But, it was just a form of ordinary caring. After all, she is my ex-wife. The child in the womb, is my son" Gerald explained in a heavy tone.
"Elisa is here" Erin replied. Suddenly, Gerald rounded his eyes.
"here? Wait, what are you doing?"search Gerald. He must know the condition of Elisha.
"Elisa's in good shape. You don't have to worry."
"From yesterday I always heard that answer. Give a more specific answer, Erin. Or let me see it. From far away." Give insistence. Unfortunately, Erin shook her head.
"Erin .. please. I just want to make sure with my own two eyes."
"Can after getting Miss's permission. It's just that Elisha already has a new status."
"New status? Whahuh? You guys brought him to join LS?"terkah Gerald's. But, it feels impossible.
"Enmmm …." Roxena muttered in her sleep. Disturbed by the conversation nearby.
The conversation stopped. With his type Erin will not talk anymore. Gerald waited for Roxena to wake up.
Sitting on the bed with her hands gently rubbed Roxena's face. Looks like a baby. When you wake up, you will turn into a lioness.
"You must be very tired. Own bearing. You're great, Xena."
"You're amazing."
"Even though I can't rival you, I will do my best. I'll never let you down, Xena."

In his heart Gerald thought that Roxena was very tired after going through many things. However, excessive sleep is also not good for health.
Counting the time, it was time to wake up. Gerald went back inside the room, gently building Roxena. How to pat and shake the body does not have an effect. Also called not effective. Gerald thought of one way, clenching his wife's lips.
Sure enough to get a response from Roxena. Roxena returned the kiss with a hand on Gerald's neck. After the kiss, Roxena opened her eyes. Her beautiful hazel beads look lovely. Still sleepy.
Roxena smiled. "You coming?"
"I heard that you've gone home to LS. I miss you so much that I ventured to come here" Gerald explained. Right, Gerald's honestly scared of this building. Yeah, because this is a mafia base.
Roxena chuckled without a sound. "Some days don't meet, why are you getting thinner?"roxena asked after noticing Gerald's cheek.
"really?" Roxena nodded.
"Maybe because you miss you so much. Xena, I have a serious illness" Gerald said in a supportive speech.
"What?"roxena asked with one eyebrow.
"The name of the disease is long. There's no cure but you, Xena," Gerald said, swiping his nose against Roxena's nose.
Feels ticklish. Roxena laughs. "Sounds ridiculous. But, I like it."
Crutch
Roxena's stomach voice spoils their romantic mood. Gerald couldn't help but laugh. He laughed off. "Don't laugh!" Shy Roxena throws a pillow at Gerald.
"I brought dinner from home."
"You cook?" Directly signed by Gerald. Roxena immediately got off the bed and washed her face. Regaining freshness.
Gerald had already served the food he had brought from the apartment. The aroma is very tempting to taste, making the stomach even hungrier. Roxena immediately ate it. It doesn't take long, most of the food moves to Roxena's stomach.
Not forgetting burps after being full. "You're like a child. The meal was a mess" said Gerald, wiping the stain on Roxena's lips with his.
"I skipped lunch earlier," Roxena.
"Next time can't."
"I understand."
Finished eating, that silent atmosphere brought towards serious talk.
Roxena who was in her sleep overheard Gerald and Erin's conversation immediately responded to the silence, "just ask what you want to ask. I'll answer it."
Getting a warning, Gerald immediately asked all questions.
"You're right. I have learned of the coming of Elisha and Regis. I know the purpose of coming to take you away. But I don't know how they're going to do it. Therefore, I only made preparations and plans. It turned out that way, so .. I decided to do one big thing."
"You know but you didn't tell me?" Disillusioned.
Roxena doesn't care much about that. "If I tell you, my plan won't work."
"What's your plan? It's working? Then that means Elisha has a new status what?"cerca Gerald was impatient.
"Married Elisha and Regis."
"WHAT?!" Shouting in shock. Surprised perfect.
"Elisa needs a companion. Regis is good, so they fit in. And it won't bother our households anymore. Wh why? You don't accept? But, no problem. They are married."
Gerald was unable to speak anymore. "Xena you!"
What was Roxena's brain actually made of to be able to think of this?!
"How am I smart, right? I see you're supporting them too. There is no reason to be angry!"
Even asking for compliments. Gerald massaged his forehead. "So, they're married?"ask Gerald to make sure.
"Hm."
"Okay. That's good news. Elisa's condition, do you know how?"
"You care so much" Roxena jealously declared.
"How is Elisha? Give me a specific answer. Or let me see it from afar!" Roxena imitated the sentence Gerald said while with Erin earlier.
"May ….."
"No longer know how. Just ask Erin. The last time she fainted was exhausted," Roxena replied.
"Xena, I .. yes I care about him. But, no more care for old friends." Gerald hugged Roxena. Ease her female frustration. "I'm glad you're jealous. It means you love me so much." Talked with pride again.
Roxena, who was still upset, opened her mouth and bit Gerald on the shoulder.
Gerald immediately grimaced in pain. With the pain in check, Gerald said, "if you're still hungry I'll make you food, Xena. My shoulders are hard and not good to eat."
"Shut up!'
"Xena."
"If you want to see, just look. I'm gonna take a shower." Roxena's up. Just then, Erin came over in a hurry, reporting something to Roxena.
"Groom, Miss!"
"What's up, Erin?"
"Regis's hurt. His head hit a rock while quarreling with Elisha."
"WHAT?!"
