THE TITLE OF TYRANT

At dawn, the horse carriage left the Western royal palace. Emmanuel gripped my hand tightly and dropped his head on my shoulder. His demeanor had changed from usual.

"Is there something?"

"Emmanuel is sad that His Majesty has abandoned me after being in the Western royal palace."

So that's why he's acting weird. For several days I was always busy regarding meeting with several kingdoms. This work was exhausting so I rested early. I forgot that Emmanuel was waiting for me to call him.

"Sorry for making you wait."

Emmanuel smiled at me. He always put on an innocent face. I then kissed his lips. Emmanuel was surprised for a moment then he kissed me back. We do it hot. I've always been afraid of a man But Emmanuel is different he's a nice young man like me. With him, my heart calms down.

Bruck!

There was a loud sound of horse-drawn carriage and I rushed to open the wagon curtain. The soldiers were holding out swords. It looked like what they were dealing with was a bunch of robbers. I then got back into the wagon.

"Is there something out there Your Majesty?"

"We are under siege by robbers. Don't come out dangerous!"

"But I want to protect Your Majesty."

I then hugged him. Emmanuel can't use a sword he's so cute that's why I don't want to lose him.

"It turns out that there is a beautiful girl in the horse carriage. Look over here friend!"

"Today we have this new toy."

The two robbers got into the horse carriage where Emmanuel and I were. They were fascinated by the beauty of the empress and wanted to enjoy the beauty of her body.

"Don't hurt the empress. Go you guys!"

The two robbers looked at each other and laughed.

"Who are you to dare to expel us!"

"Looks like this young man is this beautiful girl's bodyguard. Get out of the way, don't stop us."

"Emmanuel!"

I called him very loudly. Emmanuel was pushed far out of the carriage. Is he okay?

"Where are you going beautiful?

"Let me go!"

The two robbers tried to block. I am now very worried about Emmanuel. Outside the carriage, Emmanuel clasped both hands tightly. There was a white light surrounding his palm.

Bruck!

There was the sound of someone falling. The two robbers were surprised to hear the sound they then walked out. After a while, they left me alone and there was a scream. It seemed to be the voice of one of the robbers.

"Your Honour?"

A young man came over and grabbed my shoulder anxiously.

"Carol."

The squad leader and also one of my concubines smiled. How did he get here? Shouldn't it be in the palace?

"I know Your Majesty must have questions but we'd better leave the horse carriage first."

I nodded my head because it's good now I can be saved. He then took my hand leaving the horse carriage in his right hand there was a sword covered in blood.

"Your Majesty better be behind me!"

Karol swung his sword. With lightning speed, he can kill three robbers. His eyes turned cold. The leader of the army who is known as the "tyrant" is true. I've read royal history books. Karol is the royal shield without any role from him. The kingdom will not be able to stay strong until now. About thirty minutes had passed the robbers returned.

"Looks like we've been surrounded." I said to Karol.

This was not just a robbery but a premeditated murder because many robbers surrounded us, pushing us both to the brink.

"Does Your Majesty believe in me?" Karol said and smiled faintly at me.

The words are very ambiguous. I don't know what's on his mind.

"Yes, I believe in you."

"Thank you."

After saying that he then carried my body. I was instantly taken aback by his attitude. Karo then jumped into this abyss like a free fall. I now know what he meant but he was insane. We'd both die if we fell from a height like this. Am I going to die again? It's a tragic story of my life. I closed my eyes in resignation.

"They jumped into the abyss. We have to find him."

"Just leave it at that height they would have died."

The sound of the robbers heard from a distance maybe this is just an illusion. I'm in heaven now. But why is there no beautiful view or am I now not going to heaven but to hell.

"Your Honour."

Karol called out to me in a low voice. It was like someone was calling me. I slowly opened my eyes. Karol hugged me tightly. Looks like I'm still alive but where is this? When I looked up, I saw a high cliff. My heart beats fast. I had a bad feeling with all my courage I looked down. The abyss was in front of my eyes my body broke out in cold sweat. Then I fainted again. My body felt warm I regained consciousness. Karol smiled at me. He's glad I've come to my senses.

"Where is this?"

I tried to get up. Karol immediately grabbed my body.

"We are now inside Your Majesty's cave."

In front of me is a firelight. I then looked around it turned out that what he said was true I was in a small cave. It was raining heavily. From a distance, it can be seen that it is already dark. I then rubbed my palms, Karol who saw I was cold then opened his robe.

"Wear this so Your Majesty doesn't get cold!"

No one would have thought that behind his cold face and tyrannical cruelty he had done a good deed by lending his cloak to someone. Karol then sighed he then stood up then put his robe on my body. I then smiled at him Karol's face turned red. He turned his face away. Have I done something wrong?

Time has passed. In the middle of the night, I woke up from sleep the image of Emmanuel then came to my mind. I just realized that I had left him alone. Can't he use a sword? How are things now? Is he safe?

"Your Highness, where are you going?"

"I have left Emmanuel. Now I want to find him."

"It's getting dark. We are now in the middle of a cliff it is very difficult to climb up now."

Karol tried to stop me he said that we are in the middle of a cliff. I detached myself from him and ran towards the outside the scene became gloomy. I looked down then up. So is this what he means? I then buried my face, if Emmanuel is in danger even if he dies it's all my fault.

"Your Honour."

Karol called out to me with a surprised expression. I sat with my ears closed. Tears rolled down the cheeks.

"Please save Emmanuel"

I looked at Karol's face with despair. Karol then hugged me tightly.

"I promise to look for him Your Majesty."
