Kapitel 23: Helena Is Serving The King
"Your job right now is to serve me, right? So.., serve me tonight, Empress Helena." Louis' orders were clear, making Helena widen her eyes in surprise.
"What... me... serve you, King Louis?" asked Helena haltingly.
"Yes, you have to serve me. Today I am so tired, Empress Helena." Louis deliberately whispered into Helena's ear. "So hurry up Helena, you can't make King Aarez wait too long, can you?"
***
In her mind, Helena felt that she was being toyed with by King Aarez, but her face said something different. Because Helena had to put on a face full of joy and also the tight smile she forced.
"This man is very dangerous. How can he say he wants to be served by me? It's almost like my mind gets dirty." Helena thought.
Right now, she was giving a light massage to the king's feet. It seemed that Helena had been massaging Louis for a long time. Remembering how King Aarez, was told to get the service of Helena.
"Is it because of the whipping that your strength feels so weak, Empress Helena?" asked Louis, who was sitting on a big chair, one hand supporting his chin.
Louis looked straight at Helena with the arrogance and arbitrariness he showed. Making Helena have to be good at choosing words, giving the right answer.
"Your Highness King Louis, even the wound on my back hasn't completely healed. It's only natural if my strength isn't that great," Helena said as she tightened her massage.
At the same time, Louis pulled his leg quickly, making Helena startled and the outer of Helena's dress was revealed to her elbows. The front of Helen's chest was visible, Louis continued to stare at the woman.
"Her gaze is very different from the other two empresses, who look at me as if they want to pounce on me. This woman is still too young, but how can I be tempted... dammit... get rid of that dirty mind, Louis." Louis thought, annoyed with himself.
Louis' face was partially covered by his hand, which was holding his left temple. "But she talks too much and too brave to go against me," his mind said.
Helena was confused could only stare in silence. She noticed Louis, who seemed to be no longer interested in the foot massage given.
"Is there anything else you want?" Helena asked cautiously.
"Nothing, I just want to rest," said Louis, and he was already up from his seat.
Helena still watched in silence, saw Louis in his night robe starting to lead to the long sofa. "Is he going to sleep there?" muttered Helena guessing.
Helena's guess was right when she saw the most respected man sleeping on a small sofa.
"Is this true? Why do I feel guilty? Ohh.., Helena, do you feel sorry for the man who gives whipped punishment to you?"
Helena looked back at Louis, and he began to lie down with one hand covering part of his face.
"Hh... I really am an idiot." Helena carefully stepped on her feet. So she could get closer to Louis. Her nightgown was quite large, so she had to lift it a bit to make it easier for her to walk.
Helena was very close to the King, standing right next to the sofa and watching Louis, who had not noticed Helena's presence.
"Ehemmm..." Helena cleared her throat deliberately to get Louis' attention.
That way, it's working because Louis raised a hand that was covering his face. He looked at Helena in surprise, blinking his eyes repeatedly to make sure that he was not wrong to see Helena, who was smiling suspiciously at him.
"What are you doing, Helena?" asked Louis.
"Your Highness?" Helena said formally, making Louis straighten up slowly.
"You can't sleep here. Isn't this an inappropriate right? I'm just a new empress, and you even punished me this morning. Yes, I know, even if it was because it was my fault." Helena explained, and Louis was still listening to where the conversation was going.
"Then what do you want now?" asked Louis, who was still sitting on his sofa, his legs and arms crossed in a very relaxed manner.
"King Louis, you better sleep on your bed. And I will sleep on the sofa. Don't worry because I'm used to sleeping anywhere. Even the cold floor will feel soft if I sleep on it." Helena continued to make an offer for King Aarez.
At first, Helena thought that Louis might feel bad, feel guilty because of his rude attitude towards Helena, or maybe he would refuse Helena's offer.
But in reality...
"Okay, then I agree. You sleep on the sofa, and I will sleep on my bed." Louis had quickly walked past Helena just like that, and it only took a few seconds Louis was lying on the wide and soft bed.
"Hah..?" Helena snorted softly, seeing Louis' attitude that didn't show any concern at all.
"I should have guessed, huh... well! It's fine if I sleep on the sofa. It looks comfortable," Helena said and trying to encourage herself.
It was getting late at night. Louis and Helena slept in separate places. No sound was heard, except for the very clear ticking of the clock. Neither did Helena because she hadn't fallen asleep that night.
"Ouch..." Helena groaned in pain because the wound on her back often touched the side of the sofa.
"It hurts so bad. I have to just tilt my body. How many times I've changed my sleeping position," Helena muttered. She tried to lift her body a little so that she could tilt her sleeping position on the right side.
"Ahh... it's also uncomfortable. What if I just lie on my stomach?" Helena was on her stomach with her face covered by a large pillow. And before long, she straightened her face, feeling her breath suddenly become short of breath.
"If it goes like this, I will die because I can't breathe properly. Oh... Gosh... how can I sleep with my back still hurting?" Helena said, wincing in pain.
Louis - The King of Aarez also wasn't sleeping. He had his eyes closed, but his ears were awake. And could see every move or sound Helena made.
Feeling disturbed, Louis opened his eyes. and his face already showed the annoyance he was holding in, "Can't I sleep well tonight?"
Louis' voice, which was low but heavy, boomed in the quiet room, surprised Helena, and didn't think the King was still awake.
"King Louis, he's still awake? Hhh..! is he angry because I'm too noisy, but I don't think it's too loud?" Helena tilted her body. She deliberately turned her face to the side of the sofa and didn't dare look at the face of Louis, who might have been close to her current position.
Yes, Louis was already near Helena. The side of his jaw was tensed and ready to vent his anger at that moment.
"Empress Helena, you must still be awake and can hear my voice clearly, right?" asked Louis in a stern, firm tone.
"King Louis, please don't be angry anymore. Today I didn't do anything, so you better go back to bed and sleep well." Helena exclaimed, who didn't want to turn her face. She still had her back to Louis.
Louis was starting to lose his temper was ready to touch Helena's shoulder, forcing his empress to look at her face. But Louis' eyes immediately shifted when he saw a red spot written on Helena's back.
"You're bleeding, Empress Helena!" exclaimed Louis in a loud voice.
"What bleeding? But... who's bleeding?" Helena also turned around, and she could still feel the stinging on the surface of her back.
"Your Highness, what did you say... Ouch..! why does it still hurt so much?" said Helena, who was already sitting on her sofa chair.
"Empress Helena, why didn't you tell me that your back is hurt, Helena? Didn't Harika treat you?" asked Louis, who suddenly showed concern about Helena's condition.
"What?" Helena got up from her seat, "My back hurt again?" Helena tried to look at her own back, even though what she was doing was a complete waste of time.
"I'll call your maid. So she can give you some medicine for your back." Louis took out a cell phone that was in his pocket. Who knows whose number he was looking for at that time.
"Your Highness, wait..." Helena tried to stop him.
"What else now?"
"It's very late. Harika must be very tired. I kept the medicinal cream Harika gave me. I can do it myself, I beg you," Helena's gaze was full of hopeful radiance.
"I beg... that you don't make a fuss in the middle of the night. I promise after applying the medicinal cream. I will sleep soundly." Helena continued trying to reassure him.
"Hmmm..?" Louis pressed his lips together. He looked at Helena thinking about making a decision.
"Are you sure you can do it?" asked Louis, and Helena nodded quickly.
"Fine, if that's what you want," Louis answered, but his gaze had turned cold for Helena.
***
Inside the private bathroom, Belonging to the King.
Helena had already taken off her shirt. So she could apply some medicinal cream. It's not just the outside of her clothes. She lowers a little zipper on the back.
Helena's hand tried to grab her back, and the effort became useless. Because only a few surfaces can be reached by her hand.
"Why is this so hard, ergghh... it feels... tiring!" She complained back.
"Oh... Helena, you should know that you can't do it yourself? You are so stupid. You are not a super creature with the power of arms that can extend." Helena was annoyed. She turned her back to the mirror and saw her red wound.
"Luckily, I don't have a fever, and fortunately, I took medicine from Harika. But... why does the wound look open. Is it because I've been moving around a lot?" she asked herself, and Helena's hands were still trying to reach her injured back.
When Helena was struggling, at that moment there was also a knock on the door. It wasn't long before Helena heard a voice calling her name.
"Helena, open the door for me!" Louis ordered from behind the bathroom door.
