Regaz rubbed his face rough. The man rubbed Athera's cheek gently. The woman was lying in her room. Regaz took Athera into his room and then continued to stare at the woman without any intention of moving on from there.
"The servant is coming, Your Majesty." Ruoxi had just entered Regaz's room then bowed respectfully.
"Have you heard?" ask Regaz.
Ruoxi nodded. " The news has spread in the palace."
"Investigate the slave-only prison then find some clues there. I'll be right after calming Athera down and explaining everything. Invite Tier to accompany you and then after that I will hold a closed meeting. Don't let this news be heard by Athera's brother. Everything is going to be more runny," explained Regaz.
"Ready, Your Majesty!" Ruoxi bowed respectfully then immediately came out from inside there to carry out Regaz's orders.
Regaz never thought this would happen. This morning everything was fine until he brought Athera to his room despite a small argument then this news suddenly came and Athera immediately accused him with a deeply hurt look and it disturbed his mind and mind regaz's heart from earlier.
Regaz relaxed his body on the small chair he used to sit on the side of the mattress where Athera slept. Then he heard a small groan from Athera to Regaz quickly re-establish his body.
"Athera's... " Regaz is soft.
Athera awoke to the sound of Regaz. He shuffled on the bed avoiding Regaz. His head was a little dizzy as it immediately rose from sleep.
"Regard!" Athera mentioned the name Regaz full of emphasis.
"You misunderstood" explained Regaz as he climbed into the bed trying to get close to Athera.
Athera smiled cynically. The woman's tears were shed again and Regaz did not like it.
"Misunderstand what? Aren't you the one who misunderstood me all this time?!" Athera snaps
"I didn't kill them, believe me."
"Trust is only for the helpless!" athera answered with emotion. Athera tried to kick Regaz who kept approaching him however, Regaz immediately pulled Athera's leg and then released it, then quickly moved both hands to grab her hands, then made the woman lie back on the bed with herself on top of Athera's body.
Athera stared hatefully at Regaz.
"This morning I'm always with you, where maybe I killed both of your parents" Regaz explained.
Athera tried to release Regaz's checks on both hands however, the man's power was so great.
"You have a lot of complaints. You could have sent the su-"
"Athera! How can I kill your family when I like you!" Regaz cuts Athera's words with a snapshot.
Athera. Hazel was beautifully locked by Regaz's stern gaze. The man didn't lie.
Regaz lowered his head and fused his forehead with Athera's forehead and closed his eyes.
"I'm in love with you. And I will not hurt the heart and physique of the one I love" said Regaz.
Athera. Regaz slowly opened his eyes then looked at the beautiful hazel Athera warmly without the usual intimidating look.
"I beg you to trust me. I'll drag the perpetrator of your parents' murder and then sentence the perpetrator to death in front of you. I promise," Regaz said with conviction.
The small leaflets in Athera's heart grew until it felt so crowded. Until unconscious Athera showed a thin smile when tears still flowed from the corner of his eyes.
"If you're not the one. I'll try to love you. But... If you're the real culprit, I'm really gonna kill you." Athera.
"You still don't believe me anyway."
"You forget the past you created. You don't trust me and I doubt you. I can't guess a guy like you, Regaz."
Regaz let out a rough sigh then slowly the man lowered his face then kissed Athera's lips. Regaz simply pressed his lips against Athera's lips long enough without the slightest movement.
Regaz turned his face away then looked at Athera who was just silent.
"Then understand everything about me so you can easily guess me. Give me a little bit of your trust." Regaz looked at Athera with an indecipherable look
Athera turned her face away. Regaz let out a frustrated sigh and released Ahera and got off the bed.
"Have a rest first" Regaz said and went outside.
Athera was silent. He tried to trust Regaz. However, his thoughts and feelings were muddled as a result of all these problems.
"I will truly be a murderer in this age." Athera blurted cynically. Then the woman got off the bed and stood up straight. The back of his hand rubbed rough tears on his face.
"I'm going to kill the culprit. I'll try to find him. If the evidence I find refers to Regaz entirely, then I will kill both of his parents as well" Athera told himself.

PRAK.. PRAKKS.. PRAKKS
The brown-haired man with narrow eyes clapped his hands with a glittering smile. He is very happy today.
"This poison is so great!" He held two small empty bottles as he lifted them up in the air.
The middle-aged man who was inside an old shop only gave a small smile.
"You are very satisfied, Young Master," said the middle-aged man.
The man called the young master chuckled again and placed the two bottles on the wooden table where the middle-aged man was sitting in his master's chair.
"Give me two more bottles" he asked.
"Are you trying to kill a family?" asked the middle-aged man interspersed with laughter.
"Yes. I have killed the family of the weak woman who has angered me. He will not be able to fight because something related to murder will scare him" he replied.
"You're too rash Young Master. Does your father know?"
"of course. He even helped me," he explained.
"Who are these two bottles for?"
"Of course for Empress Athera and her stupid brother. Akhs! I forgot his servant sister. Give me three!" he said again with excitement.
The middle-aged man concocting poison as well as the person belonging to the man called the young master smiled in satisfaction. For a long time he had not been ordered to concoct poison and now his potion was so widely used by his young master.
The man took out three bottles that the middle-aged man handed him.
"Athera will soon meet its end. I'll meet his parents, hahaha!"
...SERIATE......
