CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER 6

ZELIA was looking dumbfounded, "What the heck is this Emperor trying to do."

"I'm just taking off my clothes, also could you lend me a hand, this clothes are so heavy at it has five layers on it."The Emperor said.

She raised her eyebrow, "Oho... why would I?"

The Emperor did really start taking off his clothes, the first to the fourth layer, when he was about to take off his clothes, Zelia stop him from doing so.

"Your Majesty, are you on high? Why would you shamelessly take off your robe in front of the innocent woman like me?!"She said in a loud voice but since the room of the Emperor is made of gold, it's already enough that the people outside won't heard their voices even if she would scream, unless she would open the heavy gold door. Thank goodness that the floor is only made of high-grade stone or else she would probably lose her mind just by looking at the Emperor's room.

The Emperor looks at her, "What are you talking about? Besides, you already saw me naked so why are you being embarrassed for seeing my body for the second time?"

Zelia look at her while her jaw almost dropped at the floor, thankfully she caught her jaw,"Huh?! You mean, what they were talking about me is true?! The hell?!"

"Why are you saying like you can't remember what happened about us?"The Emperor said while looking expressionlessly, making it hard to guess what is his expression right now, even his voice was always speaking in a cold tone which is why she can't read the lines using his voice since he always uses the cold tone.

Zelia sigh, "I humbly apologize myself, Your Majesty but I can't really remember what happened between us also I have a bad memory and tends to forget things a lot, so please forgive this mere servant of yours."She said politely while she bow her head.

The Emperor touch her chin using his forefinger to lift up her face, "Don't bow your head and call me by my name."

Zelia was looking at the Emperor's face who was also looking at her straight directly to her eyes while the Emperor's forefinger was still on her chin. When she realize that His Majesty has a gold like color of his eyes, she can't help but to chuckled. 

The Emperor look at her weirdly, "Why are you laughing?" This is the first time that she saw her Majesty shattered his expressionless face.

"Now I know why your room is gold."Zelia said while smiling at him making the Emperor stop from moving while looking at her smile.

When Zelia realize that the Emperor stop from moving, she spoke, "What happen to you, Your Majesty?"

The Emperor cleared his throat, "So... what are you talking about earlier about the gold?"

Zelia smiled, "It's because of...."she stop from talking and her eyebrow wrinkled when she saw the color of the Majesty' eyes... it wasn't gold just like earlier but it was turned to brownish.

The Emperor look at her, "Because of?"

Zelia's eyebrow was still wrinkled, she's sure that she wasn't imagining the color of His Majesty' eyes and her eyes weren't playing with her. To make sure, she grabbed the hand of the Emperor making the Emperor losses her balance and ended up crushing to Zelia's neck. The Emperor's face was on Zelia's neck, inhaling the sweet flower fragrance of her scent.

The Emperor immediately move his face away from Zelia's face and he look at Zelia's expression who still have the same expression earlier—a calm expression like she's saying she doesn't mind at what happened.

Then Zelia grabbed the chin of the Emperor near to her face making the Emperor almost stopped from breathing, while Zelia who was examining her eyes. She was looking at her eyes and didn't realize about their position.

The Emperor's hand was on the back of the couch to support his self trying not to end up sitting on Zelia's lap, while Zelia was touching his chin and looking at him closely.

He cleared his throat to get her attention,"What are you doing?"

When Zelia realize their position which was made by her, her face reddened in embarrassed. She move her finger which was on the Emperor's chin and immediately bow her head, "I'm sorry for touching you, Your Majesty."

The Emperor immediately stood up to compose his posture, "It's okay.... on second though, help me dress up." He said while still looking at her expressionlessly making her having a hard time figuring out if he's angry or not.

"Are you angry at what I just did, Your Highnes"Zelia asked politely.

The Emperor shook his head yet his face still remain expressionless. "I'm not so help me dress up since I need to go out of town to buy you a dress."

Zelia chuckled, "You don't have to, Your Majesty, I'm just kidding when I said that."

"But I'm not kidding when I said that I would buy you clothes."The Emperor said.

"You are too kind for an Emperor, I heard your merciless and ruthless so why bother giving me a kindness gesture?"Zelia said while she stood up and start taking of the last layer of His Majesty's clothes.

As expected from The Emperor who has a well-built body. Zelia though that the Emperor was skinny but who wouldn't though that the Emperor really has a good body, has eight pack abs and those muscles... of course, Zelia didn't look down to see the beast between the Emperor's thigh's, instead she was trying her best not to look down.

"Who knows why."The Emperor replied shortly and Zelia didn't bother to speak since there is nothing left to talk about.

"So, why did you grabbed my hands earlier and look carefully at my face?"The Emperor asked.

"I saw your eyes turned to a gold-like color earlier but then when I tried to tell you, your eyes turned back to your original color—brownish."She said truthfully while she went to the Emperor's gold closet and she tried to open it, as expected it was heavy but not as heavy as the door. 

She gasped when she saw all of his robes. It was all dyed in red, all of his robes and shirts were all red but she didn't said anything since everyone has their own tastes, just like her who always wear the grey color shirts.

She get the normal robes who's only have one layer for him to easy to move without any hindrance. She went back to the Emperor's direction who was waiting for her to dress him up. She sigh then she dress him up using the normal robe that she get from his golden closet, she fixed the tie which is near his stomach.

She look at him once again, "So? Am I not hallucinating earlier?"

The Emperor nodded his head before he answered, "Yeah, you're definitely not hallucinating besides your the first person who saw my gold-like color of my eyes besides my family."

She chuckled, "Aww... then it's my pleasure to see the beautiful color of your eyes, but why does it turned to gold?"

The Emperor look away then he cleared his throat, "T-That... I also don't know... I-I also wonder why."

"Okay, if you say so. I'm gonna stay here since I have no upper clothes."She said while yawning.

The Emperor nodded, "Okay, if you're feeling tired you can sleep on my bed."

Zelia shook her head to disagree, "No, a mere servant like me is not supposed to lay on Your Majesty' bed, I'm gonna lay on this couch instead since I can't sleep if my bed isn't soft." She said as she lay on the couch.

"Okay, if you say so and also call me by my name not Your Majesty."The Emperor said making Zelia's brow raised in curious. 

"What's your name, Your Majesty?"Zelia asked as she closed her eyes.

"I've already told you at the first time we meet."He said making her frown.

"I can't remember it."She said while her eyes was still closed.

"Then remember it, if you can't remember it I'm gonna punish you."The Emperor said.

She chuckled, "Uwa... I'm scared, but truthfully I can't really remember your name but I'm gonna try recalling my memories to see if I'm gonna remember your name." She said 'I'm going to ask your servants'

"It's not use on asking the servants about my name since they also don't know my name. You are the only one who knows my name except of my family."He said which made her even more curious about knowing her name but when she tried to open her eyes to asked her, the master of sleep already got her, making her fall asleep in tiredness.

The Emperor smiled as soon as she saw her sleeping peacefully on the couch, he carry her to his bed and let her continue her sweet dreams on his bed.

Before he went out of his room to go to the town and buy clothes for her, he lean close to her face and brush his lips to her, and whispered, "Please remember my name, my queen."
