The Heart of the Cruel Emperor
18. New Facts

Until a few moments later . some bodyguards dragged a girl with clothes that look wet anywhere.Hair looks messy and added by brown skin is different from the others.

And it makes all the people in the palace room hold laughter seeing the presence of Hani. Even Emperor Ryu who never laughed after a long time. can now be heard again.

" ha ha ha"

Deg

simultaneously all the people who initially laughed at Hani now turned to Emperor Ryu, an advance for the emperor ryu whom they respected. Finally, they could hear the laughing voice of a notorious and cold Ryu emperor .

Eunuch Lee was so happy to see the emperor Ryu laugh again.Slowly but surely, eunuch Lee hoped that Emperor Ryu would return to his old age.

'cure the goddamn emperor. laughed over the suffering of others. disturbing my washing event only. I am so ashamed at this time' Hani was very embarrassed because all the eyes present now focused on him.

...***************...

The guards released their grasp from the body of Hani who had been rebelling wildly. While Hani who did not know himself was taken to the palace courtyard can only stand resignedly waiting for the ravings of Emperor Ryu that he will hear.

Emperor Ryu's laughter subsided, now he looks stiff because he laughs outside the limits of himself an emperor, Emperor Ryu feels strange with himself that increasingly seems to change.

'what's wrong with me? I don't usually laugh'

"well, we leave now." the emperor Ryu ordered. Hani looks confused.

'then what's the point of me being here? Was the emperor joking? so, she thinks of me as the old lady of the house for her farewell? ha~ fucking basics' Hani swore a swearing Emperor Ryu.

" Hani quickly entered" Eunuch Lee hurriedly approached Hani. telling him to immediately board the carriage.

"what does uncle mean?" Hani is confused because Uncle Lee is dragging her to approach a special carriage waiter who is behind the train Concubine Sassy right.

" Uncle forgot about you. Emperor Ryu still needs you as a tasting of his food. So you have to go to the invitation"

"WHAT?!" Hani was surprised to hear his.Ease already he could not rest for a while.

"Excuse me ladies is there still room for one more person?" ask Kasim Lee to the two servants who will come to the kingdom of Tan.

"Sorry, Eunuch Lee like her is no longer any place here . All the gifts for the Tan kingdom have been fulfilled, and the noble equipment and concubines of Sassy are also here". Eunuch Lee scratched his head that was not itchy at the sight of a special carriage the maid had filled up completely . he regretted not preparing an even bigger butler special carriage . Because emperor Ryu only told her to prepare a special Servant of Sassy's concubines only.

Eunuch Lee was confused. He soon approached Emperor Ryu who was about to pull the reins of his horse.

"Your highness,"

Emperor Ryu turned his head to stop his activities.

" What's up, Uncle?" Emperor Ryu furrowed his brows in curiosity.

" this is your honor, the servant's carriage is filled with gifts to be brought and your equipment with Sassy's concubine. And Hani found no place for her to hitchhike".

" Just put him in Sassy's carriage, and tell him to fix himself up, like a madman ha~ha~ha"

Emperor Ryu immediately jerked the bridle zero died, eunuch Lee who looked cengo heard him laugh again.

"uncle?" Hani approached Kasim Lee to ask him about his certainty whether he should come or not. Since he had seen the butler's special carriage fully loaded .it was possible that he was canceled to come along.

" Hani quickly entered" Eunuch Lee pulled Hani's arm towards Consort Sassy's horse carriage. Hani looks confused and he does not think that Eunuch Lee will push her into Consort Sassy's horse carriage.

" Miss Sassy, Uncle Hope lady doesn't mind sharing the place with the servant Hani . because this is Emperor Ryu's order" Hani glares at Kasim Lee's words. Very presumptuous himself to be in one room with Consort Sassy whose position is high above.

The concubine Sassy who heard this was a direct order from the emperor Ryu. could only smile gracefully welcoming Hani who entered the horse carriage he was riding in.

"Sit here The train is about to depart" Consort Sassy patted the spot next to him so that Hani could sit up.

"Well miss" Hani nodded his head in silence. he immediately sat down and did not forget to improve his appearance that Morat Marit had since.

...*******...

The journey is still so long. Hani who was next to the concubine Sassy looked nervous. Because her status was so lowly that being able to sit in the royal luxurious horse carriage side by side with the concubine Sassy was an honor for her

The news of Emperor Ryu having the New Shield had been heard long ago by Sassy from the talk of gossipy concubines in the pavilion. However, he never met even with the figure of Hani. Until now, he could see it directly.

"en" Hani nodded in agreement.

"You're quite different from the others? Your skin, is this because of heredity?"

" en, this I got from my brown dad's genes"

"then, your eyes?is your father too?it was so beautiful" the concubine Sassy was amazed at the ocean-blue Mata Hani. Hani's brown skin does not make it too ugly, because there are still beautiful blue eyes that support his shortcomings.

'if he had a milky-white skin . then it would be a disaster in this kingdom because of his beauty' Inner concubine Sassy

"en miss is right. Servant is very happy Dad has passed away his physical characteristics to me, so that when mother misses to father. mother can see the figure of father in the look of my eyes"

"What do you mean?" Consort Sassy seems confused by Hani's words

" The servant's father has died"

" oh god, I'm sorry" Consort Sassy felt guilty for reminding Hani of her father's departing figure.

" it's okay miss. it's over" Hani smiled making concubine Sassy feel relieved.

"You're so lucky, there's still a mother figure in your life" Consort Sassy stared outside the carriage as if to look at an incident

" What do you mean, miss?"

" i was 7 years old at the time, I saw it firsthand.The whole house in my village on earth was scorched by those savage rebels. Including the house that I live in with my family.my father and mother were not saved from the fire.while I was" Consort Sassy shed tears without her knowing.

" I survived because of Emperor Ryu. He was willing to go into the flames to save my frightened self". Consort Sassy rubbed her wet cheeks with a handkerchief.

while Hani frowned slightly confused because of the new fact Hani knew . 'Such a Brutal Emperor once helped Consort Sassy as a child, really?" Hani is a little unsure.

" Oh my god, why am I crying?"

" I'm sorry I am, miss. because the lady's servant remembers both of the girls' parents back.I'm sorry I am the servant" Hani felt guilty because she was Sassy's concubine to tears.

"it's okay, maybe it's because I miss them. Besides, I've let them go quietly".

Consort Sassy was still staring out the window of the train . I don't know what was being noticed by concubine Sassy to make Hani curious.

"How long have you been a noble Tameng ?" sassy's Concubine Takes Hani gasp for noticing Sassy's concubine .

"Almost 3 months, miss".

"I guess, you are the strongest emperor's shield that has survived from before". Now Consort Sassy turned her attention to Hani.

"Can you promise me something?"

"en miss"

"i don't know. You can believe it or not . moreover, of all your purposes to enter the palace Good or bad" Hani felt a little offended at the words of concubine Sassy. he remembered all his actions that had to be full of lies to enter the palace. What can be done that can best save her from the royal decree.

"Will you guard and protect the noble Whole heart even though he is notoriously cruel? Regardless of your intention of entering the palace is not just a shield even if as an enemy." Hani feels himself not a rebel, but why does Consort Sassy seem to be trying to offend her.

"Hamba is just a village girl Miss. Whatever the lady asks . it is an honor for the servant to do her"

"I'm sorry, if my words have hurt you but, I hope you do it for me" the soft, silky hand held Hani's brown hand . channeling a sense of hope Hani can do his job.

Consort Sassy turned her attention back, outwards. Hani only realized, since then the concubine Sassy was watching Emperor Ryu who chose to ride instead of sitting in the carriage for a long time.

"She has experienced far more terrible things than I have. People were only preoccupied with her cruel appearance rather than her nature" though sheer, Hani was still able to hear the voice of Sassy's concubine talking about the nature of emperor Ryu. And somehow the thought of where Hani also came and noticed Emperor Ryu who was riding a horse gallantly.

'What is true Emperor Ryu Good man . Then, what about the rumors that have been circulating all this time . and his actions to me and also to his people who are disdainful?' Hani shuddered in horror given the events when a minister died in the palace hall due to the death sentence that the emperor Ryu gave.
