It's been a month since they returned from the dark forest but he still can't shake the image from him head, something feel unpleasant. He still Wondering the identity that kid.
Empress came to the emperor after hear from head butler neo that emperor seem not very healthy and always daydreaming since came back from dark forest.
" Arthur... are you there."
But Arthur seems to be in his own world, unaware of the presence of empress Rowen. No matter how many time empress rowen call him but he still didn't give any reaction. Then she patted Arthur on the shoulder and Arthur was very surprised by the action of Empress Rowen.
" I'm sorry, It's just i call you so many time but you didn't react."
After seen arthur reaction make her thinking what on arthur mind.
" Haaa... sorry... i didn't hear you came."
He know that was his fault for not being aware of Empress Rowen's presence.
" Tell me what has been making you not focus for some time now."
since she knew Arthur was not someone who cared about trivial things.
" I think your have already hear the news about that " mystery child ", i even can't shake the image from mine mind about her present how can she look exactly like me."
Rowen could see that Arthur was really disturbed by the mystery child whereabouts.
Rowen felt very guilty because she knew the secret of the girl's existence and she didn't know if it turned out that the girl's existence shook Arthur's peace, she didn't know how to tell Arthur. And she remembers that tragedies, The tragedies make queen Katerine bening prison at cristal palace.
Back in the time 8 years a go we are so young even though I came here unwillingly but because of her, I was able to adapt to the situation here. She really strong women and cheerful person, in fact we are very close because arthur is always busy and we always spend time together. I like her aura because she was born in the Warrior family who have serve royal famly time to time the most time i love it when she make dance sword in that time she was the most beautiful lady. Just because of the duty she carries, To much thing she endure even almost lose her own life many times to protect the emperor and she love the emperor but what a pity she never got love back. And the tragedies change everything when she convicted of attempted murder, When she imprisoned while waiting to be transferred empress rowen had time to meet with katerine.
" Why you didn't tell the truth... why....."
Rowen hold katerine while hand is shaking.
" It's not i didn't want to told a truth but will he believes me if i told a truth."
She know Arthur well better than anyone, He never easly believe just with a word without a evidence.
" I know him better than anyone, how can i tell him that wasn't me after every single action is point to me."
She try to make rowen calm down even though in deeper her heart she also scare.
" Please katerine... what should i do now.. what happen will be to you....i...i...i can't imagine.."
Rowen can't hold her tear anymore and she burst out and cry louder.
Katerine also crying both of them can't talk and just crying while hug each other.
" Honestly i also scare but that doesn't change anything, From forward you and i... we need to go through this."
She hold tight rowen hand. Hope that can make her less scare.
" What should i do...hic...hic... "
She still in Katerine arms crying...
" Rowen..... The days after tomorrow we can meet each other anymore... and we didn't know what gonna happen in future... but one thing i have to told you...."
Before she countinue talk she take a deep breath.. and pulling rowen hand to her belly...
" i thought want to give you surprised after your birthday but i think that will not happen and i just have a times now before go to that place."
Rowen looked at Katerine's face with surprise because she didn't expect this.
" What!... how.... when..... and.... and..... no no no... we need to tell arthur now..."
She trying to pulling katerine hand and ask for katerine to tell arthur that she is pregnant now.
" No!... don't ever tell him.. he can't know about this child.."
she quickly prevented rowen from doing that action.
" I don't want this child to live in this kind of situation. I want this child to live freely and not have to think about power struggles. please i begging you. No matter what gonna be on the future just leave this child alone. "
she couldn't refuse katerine's request after seeing her pleading like this.
" I can do it as you want.. but remember arthur also has a rights to this child, you can't make a secret forever."
Katerine know that she can't make that secret forever but she just want to keep it silent as long as she can.
They still want to be together but a times to Katerine to go now. Even its hard to her let katerine go but they need to.
" Goodbye Empress rowen, May the universe bless upon you."
" Goodbye queen Katerine and may the universe bless uponn you too..... and take care of your selve."
They separate in that way..
"....rowen..... are you alright.... many time i call you but you didn't react what have in you mind that make you didn't hear me."
She came back to the reality and he realized that the reality was very painful. The pain that happened 8 years ago is still fresh, parting with Katerine is a very painful thing. She know that she can't keep that secret anymore.
" I have something want to confess to you, but we need to gether together."
Looking at Arthur seriously.
" What thats."
Arthur feel a bit unpleasant.
" Wait until the time came."
After that she walk away, she was determined not to keep things a secret anymore.
" I'm sorry katerine, i break our promise. it's enough i can't take anymore the pressure of guilty in my heart and i want to make it clear that you never done the crime."
Rowen already make a decision, enough for this few year. It's time for you to came back and leave the way you should live.
