Believe me emperor : 20

King Derek went near the person. The person was not facing King Derek. They were enjoying the beauty of moon flower.

"Ahem! " King Derek made sound to attract their attention.

They were about to turn around, but then the king Said,

"Please don't turn around. I'll not be able to say anything if I see your beautiful eyes."

The person didn't turn and stood there looking at the flower.

"Thank you. I wanted to say that I came to like you. I heard from the concubine that you're a servant in here. When I heard that I was shocked. How can such a beautiful person be just a servant, was what I thought. I'm not belittling your work but still I think you deserves better. Concubine said the other servants bully you because you're just too innocent. If you come with me, you won't have to worry about getting bullied. Don't worry about the emperor, he and I are friends. I'll talk to him and take you with me. Now the only thing I want is your permission. What do you say? Will you come with me? "

King Derek was confident and proud when he asked this. He was sure that person is going to accept it.

King Derek waited and waited, but there was no reply. He got impatient and said,

"I don't know why you aren't responding. I thought you might be happy that you'll have a good life but seems like I was wrong. If you don't agree with me then at least tell me that. "

But still, there was no reply. This time King Derek was furious. He grabbed the person's hand.

The person got scared and flinched when they got pulled by Derek.

"Tell me, do you agree or not?"

King asked looking at the person's eyes.

The person looked scared and confused. Their eyes were focused on King Derek's lips when he talked. After that they looked at his eyes in confusion.

The silence was getting bigger.

"Why aren't you saying anything. Should I take your silence as a yes?" Derek thought they were just shy and asked this.

There was no reply this time too. Derek thought they were shy and they gave their permission to be with them. Derek slowly leaned in to kiss.

The person got scared and pushed him away.

"WHAT THE! " Derek screamed as he got his head hit on the wall.

Derek stood up and went to them.

"Why did you do that?" Derek asked.

The other person found it intimidating and tried to run away.

"STOP THERE" King Derek tried to stop them. But instead of grabbing their hand he grabbed their clothes. The cloth got ripped and a piece remained in his hand. The person ran away in fear. Derek followed them.

Gael was scared. He got approached by a man asking him weird question, out of nowhere. The man even tried to kiss him making him get scared. He ran away, but the man ripped his cloth. Gael got more frightened. He couldn't even scream or hear anyone was near. He was running and running without any destination until he hit something and fell down.

Emperor Arsenio caught Gael before he hit the floor. Arsenio looked at Gael's face and saw him all feared.

" What happened? Why do you look like you saw a ghost?"

Arsenio questioned. He wasn't even sure why Gael came out of his chamber in the middle of the night.

Gael was about to explain while king Derek came there running.

Arsenio noticed the piece of cloth in Derek's hand and realized it was a piece from the clothes Gael was wearing.

He got really pissed off.

Some ministers, kings and Gael's parents were with Arsenio then.

"Mother, please take Gael to his chamber." Arsenio said to his mother-in-law.

Gael's mother did as Arsenio said. Even though Gael wanted to talk to Arsenio he was taken away by his mother.
