EPISODE 05'S

**HAPPY READING**

The kingdom of Garazelon was a kingdom that had family ties or perhaps allies of the kingdom of Gazianor. This kingdom is also the only kingdom that is difficult to conquer by the virtucal nation of esse. The kingdom of Garazelon was unable to help the kingdom of Gazianor when it was attacked, because at that time they had also been attacked in both directions by the virtucal esse.

And now, the new ruler of the kingdom of Garazelon is Alexus Stefanos. The man who had once been engaged to the first princess of the kingdom of Gazianor. However, the engagement was broken when the princess was married by her own enemy. Now Alexus intends to reclaim the woman he has loved so much and also reverse the position of Gazianor as ever.

"Send a spy to confirm the condition, My Athera, ", Alexus said.

"Okay, Your Majesty."

The man had returned to the kingdom a few hours ago. The man squeezed his hair rough after giving the order to his loyal bodyguard: Lois.

"I hurt him," Alexus continued in a heavy voice, his fingers did not stop squeezing his hair.he still remembered very well when the sword he pointed at Regaz precisely hit Athera.

Lois approached Alexus while touching the shoulders of the master and his best friend. "It wasn't your fault. Princess Athera was the one who moved to protect Regaz."

Alexus just sighed rudely then shook his head slowly, he still blamed himself. If Athera why-why he was willing to sacrifice his life as a change of apology.

Lois pulled her hand from Alexus' shoulder. The man who is the king of garazelon will only look weak when it comes to Athera. Alexus is a man who doesn't like to be touched by other women except Athera. Athera's gaze always brought comfort to Alexus' heart even though Athera never smiled at anyone even Alexus never got angry when on the day of his engagement Athera refused himself by saying that Alexus was not his type, but still Alexus is able to be gentle, even though it is very inversely proportional to its nature which is almost the same as Regaz.

"Athera, I'm sorry," Alexus and Lois were only able to look at Alexus' nanar.

***

Regaz who once glanced at the Athera residence was reluctant, but now diligently visited the Athera residence to just ask the condition of the woman. Three days had passed and Regaz had not heard from Athera.

Regaz felt indebted to Athera. If it wasn't for Athera, perhaps it was when the sword had drawn his heart. Even so Regaz still has a grudge against the Gazianor. All he had right now was a sense of indebtedness to Athera. Only Athera, not the gazianor or the woman's family.

Regaz had also given Athera strict protection and the initially quiet residence of Athera was now filled with servants, the healer was even some of the palace's caretakers for Athera while Retha became the empress's special butler.

And this is the fourth day. Where Regaz returned to visit the residence of Athera.

"How are you?" ask Regaz to Retha.

Retha looked down respectfully, not daring to look up at Regaz's terrifying dark bead.

"The Empress, she has been conscious since midnight yesterday" replied Retha.

Slowly Regaz heaved a sigh of relief then walked towards the room of Athera. Regaz forbids anyone from entering except him. The door was opened slowly and Regaz found that Athera was still asleep with a blanket covering half of her face.

Regaz chose to sit on the side of the bed and then slowly pull the blanket Athera up to just the chest.

"Beautiful," Inner Regaz

Of course Regaz could not deny that Athera was so beautiful especially when asleep. Regaz's fingers slowly moved to touch Athera's face but Regaz was jolted when with a quick movement his hand held Regaz's hand. Slowly Ahera opened her eyes to meet Regaz's dark bead. They looked at each other for a long time.

"What do you want?" ask Athera coldly.

Regaz pulls his hand from Athera's hand then stares in Hazel's beautiful Athera. "Look at your condition."

"You care?"

"Pity only" replied Regaz lightly.

Athera turned her gaze to the side then clucked bitterly and somehow Regaz actually commented a thin smile.

"Is your wound still very painful?" ask Regaz.

"Did he try to be so caring?"

Athera looked back at Regaz, if you think it turns out that Regaz has a face so handsome not to mention his body is very athletic, and do not forget that Regaz has a gaze and sexy lips according to Athera.

"I'm asking you, why are you staring me in the face?"

Athera realized from his daydream and then immediately woke up until he grimaced loudly because he only realized that the wound on the back had not been healed too much, Athera reflex draped both hands on Regaz's neck so that he did not immediately go back to sleep on the mattress until his back was depressed because he suddenly fell back into the mattress, after that he woke up with a half-sitting body position next to Regaz who was sitting on the side of the mattress.

Regaz held his breath as his nose with Athera's nose rubbed against each other moreover the distance between their faces was extremely thin.

Athera held her breath as Regaz's warm, mint-scented breath burst free in her kiss. The man began to erode the distance between their faces and some time later Athera closed his eyes as Regaz's lips pressed gently against his. They're kissing. Regaz did it gently and this was Regaz's first kiss for Athera as well.

Regaz closed his eyes, then released his grip on Athera's lips.

"Lying down again, don't move too much" Regaz said, then leaned Athera down to the bed gently, then the man got up from there and left, unlike Athera who was just silent like a mannequin, the woman directly touched his chest. His face was red.

"Damn it! I got carried away!"

Then somewhere else, in a dungeon belonging to the virtucal esse kingdom. Tier is now in the middle of not one of the rebels he managed to capture. After bringing him here, he now searched the rebel he captured and finally Tier found a wooden board with the symbol of a clan, the symbol of the gazianor kingdom. Tier did not believe that the Gazians were the culprits behind this rebellion. Today Tier had called Regaz to meet the rebels in prison but the king had not yet come because his king wanted to go inquire about the state of Athera. Ah, it would be nice to see Regaz soften a little at Ahera. Tier had great respect for Athera, as the woman was also very kind to him (Before Athera used to exchange fortunes with the current Athera).

"Where is that guy?"

Tier and the other guards jumped when Regaz's presence was not noticed. They bowed their respects to Regaz.

Tier moved his right hand and then showed the person who was now chained with both hands and feet.

Regaz approached the person with an intimidating look even Tier shuddered in horror at him.

"I'll only ask once. If you don't answer honestly then I'll cut your tongue right now" Regaz said with a hand that gripped the man's jaw. It felt like his jawbone would crumble until the person roared in pain.

The man nodded until Regaz smiled with satisfaction then he glanced at Tier to give the gazianor the symbol of the wooden board.

"Tell me honestly, who gave you this?"

"Of course it's mine. I-I'm a Gazianor, and I'm down at-tas of Arthera's hidden orders" replied the man stammeringly.

Regaz growled stifledly then spoke coldly without any intention of turning his gaze to the man before him. His right hand was stretched out on Tier. "Give me your splint, Tier."

The man immediately turned his back when Regaz had asked Tier for a dagger and now the dagger was in Regaz's grasp. The man cried in fear as Regaz forcefully tried to open his mouth.

"Don't cut off my tongue, Your Majesty! I was just following orders from Consort Yuen to frame the Empress!" said the man spontaneously then he immediately realized his words and looked down afraid.

Regaz smiled cynically, he already guessed that Athera was not the culprit. That could prove when Athera protected him from those men, not to mention that Athera would not give orders when he alone was unable to walk after being flogged 20 times at the time. Regaz was still a little surprised when concubine Yuen did it. Regaz still needs to investigate, whether concubine Yuen sent only one person to confess that this was the plan of the Gazianor or perhaps the one who led the rebel. Regaz could guess that the rebels were not actually wearing this type of clothing, but no one knew the tricks of a crime until Regaz had to investigate, then gave the punishment to concubine Yuen.

THE PLAQUE!

Regaz got up after slapping the man so hard that he fainted.

Regaz stood before Tier. " Let him live. This man should testify for my side later."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Tier lowered his head with a knotty smile followed by the other bodyguards and Regaz passed by just like that.

"Your Majesty," called Tier while looking back to look at Regaz.

Regaz stopped his steps then looked at Tier with a questioning gaze.

"Your lips are a little swollen, are you okay?" ask Tier.

Regaz's body stiffened, as a shadow of his kiss with Athera flashed past, then he stared at Tier sharply.

"What kind of question is that?! "inner Regaz.

"Focus on your work!" ketus Regaz and pass it by.

Tier immediately threw a glance at the guards behind him.

Tier pointed at himself then displayed his stupid expression. "Am I wrong to worry?"

The prajutites shook their heads stiffly then stared at each other. It seemed like Tier was too innocent to know what had happened to Regaz's lips. Just by looking at the expression and the faint lipstick marks on the area around the corner of Regaz's lips, of course adults immediately understand the answer.

Tier nodded then spread his shoulders indifferently.

"It looks like your noble lips are swelling up from bumping into something or maybe eating something spicy," Tier murmured.
