The Emperor Neptune
MARRIAGE 4

While his eyes were still reluctant to open Violet's throat felt very dry from thirst. Violet tried to ignore her thirst and continued to sleep but it made Violet cough. With her eyes closed, Violet's hand tried to reach the nightstand but she could not find any drinking water on it, making Violet unwillingly get out of bed and onto the table where Ling used to put drinks. Meanwhile the Emperor who heard the voice of the woman coughing from the top of his bed covered with curtains felt surprised and continued to observe from where he was sitting.

As soon as the thin curtain was revealed the Emperor seemed to not believe what his eyes saw. Violet looked with her eyes still closed walking staggering towards him.

Even so until in front of him Violet immediately drank up the tea that she had poured into a ceramic glass that was right in front of him.

Once satisfied to wet his throat Violet turned back to sleep but her steps stopped when she heard the Emperor's voice.

"Stopped?" order the Emperor while throwing his gaze straight ahead trying to be firm and indifferent.

Violet was fixated, as soon as her eyes opened perfectly, her heart seemed to come out from inside her chest. His ears could clearly recognize the owner of the voice. Slowly Violet turned her back and fell perfectly silent in disbelief as she watched Kay sitting with charisma in the place she had just been through.

"Please! You entered my inner palace without permission!" the Emperor's voice sounded so loud in Violet's ears.

At once Violet looked around the room and only realized that this room was the Emperor's.

"sorry. I got the wrong room."

The Emperor glanced at Violet at a glance, then turned his face back.

"Wrongly entered the room? How could? Guest rooms are far away from here!"

Violet was silenced, Violet's heart was racing, Still had not moved on from her memories with the Emperor once made her feel that still occupying this room was a foolishness that she had done until entering and falling asleep in the Emperor's room. It was impossible for Violet to tell the Emperor the truth. He still had enough face and a sense of high prestige in his heart.

In the heart of the Emperor, it was just the opposite. There was a sense of pleasure in having Violet return to the room where she and Violet used to be together with her own consciousness. Thus proving that even Violet until now has not forgotten herself at all.

"I-I'm too tired to be unconscious coming in here. Forgive me for my sassiness." Violet's voice was nervous as she lowered her face, squeezing her fingers.

"How could he come to the Emperor's room unknowingly while in front of the many guard soldiers" the Emperor urged Violet's honest confession.

Violet could only be silent considering how she had snapped at the guard soldiers who were blocking her. Now Violet was sure to realize her mistake and carelessness.

The emperor stood up and walked over to Violet, making her blood flow seem to stop and freeze.

"I will hold you, your family, and the palace guard soldiers in me accountable for your willingness to enter my private quarters in the courtroom later."

"Pastoral Court? Nay! Please! Just punish me, I'm guilty don't involve anyone else. It's my brother's happy day don't tarnish his happiness with my stupidity." Violet knelt down pleading.

"That's none of my business. My business is to punish all those who contribute to this deed."

"I beg you not to. Just punish me. You can punish me for anything." Violet began to shed her tears.

"You! How dare you call me YOU!"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it." Violet's knees were shaking.

"Then what do you mean? I am the Emperor Neptune, and you are just a guest that Prince Mark has brought. You should know your position!" The emperor raised his tone of voice making Violet's body tremble even more perfectly.

Violet's heart was even more painful to find the attitude of the Emperor who changed 180° to him, became a different figure and seemed to never know him let alone love him.

"What to scold me like this for my mistake. Has she lost her old love for me?" inner Violet before finally fainting in the Emperor's arms.

The Emperor swiftly caught Violet's body which suddenly dazed into his embrace.

"Violet, Vi... Wake up! Open your eyes!" The Emperor tried to resuscitate Violet but Violet did not open her eyes.

The emperor held Violet and put her to bed. Then call the waiter. It just so happened that Ling who was near the Emperor's room heard a call from inside Ling's room immediately entered and found Violet already lying down.

"Your Majesty." Ling bowed his body.

"Ling, Violet passed out quickly get Dr. Virgia here. And keep this a secret from anyone. Go quickly!" the Emperor panicked.

The Emperor was so panicked to see Violet again drooping on her bed. The shadow when Violet almost lost her life in her bed frightened her.

"Violet wakes up, I'm sorry. Open eyes! I promise I won't punish you Vi. You can even punish me. Don't scare me." said the emperor clasping Violet's hand tightly as he kissed the back of her hand.

Moments later Virgia and Ling came with a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" gia asked directly closer to Violet.

"She was suddenly in my room and fell asleep and then I spoke straight out. Check quickly!" the Emperor commanded while standing up and letting Virgia check Violet freely.

"Why?"

The emperor nodded his head understanding.

"Ling prepare healthy food for him and immediately bring it here so that later when he regains consciousness soon he eats!"

"Hamba carry out his word." Ling then walked back and left the room.

"How is he here? What,-?" Virgia did not dare to continue her words just glancing at Kay's eyes which became her intention gesture.

"No! It wasn't me who asked for it. I was even surprised he suddenly emerged from my bed and walked while asleep."

"It seems his memory and inner bond with this place is very strong. I think after everything that happened it's impossible if he's purposely here in a conscious state."

Virgia's words were like a breath of fresh air to the barrenness of the Emperor's heart resisting the longing in a few months apart with Violet.

"really? Is that the sort of thing she has a strong memory and a great desire to be here?"

"Let's not know I can't be sure of that" Virgia said.

"Emmmhh.." Violet's voice was still not fully conscious.

"Violet, are you conscious?" Virgia again examined the state of Violet who was still trying to adjust her eyes to the ambient light.

"Awwwhhh.. giddy." cried Violet when she forced herself to get up.

"Don't be forced to get up first." Virgia helped back to lay Violet down.

"Sister Virgia." Violet recognized the figure sitting near her.

"It's me."

"I why?" violet asked beginning to fear the trauma of her past.

"Calm down first. You're all right. Just tired and need a break. Lie down until you are fully recovered." Virgia said, clutching Violet's fingers.

Violet glanced at the Emperor with a feeling of fear.

"You stay here for the next two days. Don't get out of this place without my permission." said the Emperor without turning his eyes to Violet.

"But what if my brother's looking for me?" violet asked in a hoarse and slow voice.

"It's my business to tell him. Ling will come soon with food. Eat fast and spend it so you get better quickly!" after finishing his words the Emperor immediately passed away leaving the place.

Violet was unable to stem her tears back from the intense pain in her heart over the Emperor's indifference. Virgia understands Violet's feelings can only shake her hand to make Violet calmer.

"Is he married?" violet asked in a voice.

"Not yet." replied Gia briefly.

Violet nodded her head, wiping away the tears blocking her view.

Ling entered carrying a large tray of food for Violet.

"Miss, eat it to recover quickly" said Ling while preparing a bowl of porridge.

"Ling, I'm not hungry yet."

"Violet, eat so that you have enough energy and recover" Virgia said taking a bowl of porridge from Ling's hand.

"I don't want to eat my sister."

"Eat even if only a little. I'm forcing you." Virgia feeds a spoonful of porridge to Violet, who eventually makes Violet want to eat it.

After eating a few mouthfuls Violet finished her meal.

"Sir Gia, when will he get married?"

Virgia knows the direction of Violet's conversation. But Virgias know themselves enough not to interfere in their problems. He did not quite have the capacity to interfere in the personal affairs of the Emperor.

"Violet, you better ask her yourself. I am close to the Emperor. But between our relationships there are also boundaries that I cannot break. I wish you could understand."

"Emmm.. I'm sorry." Violet nodded her head but the disappointed look was clear from her face.
