Chapter 36

***

Kana woke up feeling pain all over his back, he felt the space beside him and he heard someone chuckling.

"Love?" Kana mumbled, eyes close.

His hands still searching for Sunwoo beside him, the Emperor caught his hand and kiss it.

"I'm here honey, why don't you sleep some more? Are you okay? I lost count how many times we did it. I'm sorry, please sleep again." Emperor Sunwoo said, grinning in satisfaction.

They indeed make love like bunnies last night.

"I would like to send you off but I can't move my body.." Kana mumbled and he hugged the Emperor who laid beside him in his full military gear.

"Sleep again Hon, we will leave an hour from now.." He combed Kana's hair while kissing his swollen lips in a quick manner.

"I will miss you." Kana mumbled, but he's so drain that he can't move.

His back is hurting him so as his legs.

"I will be back before you miss me. Take care here, don't get out of this courtyard if not necessary.. I'll deal with everyone once the war is done."

Assurance was audible in the Emperor's voice, making Kana shed a tear.

"I love you, My Liege.. Come home safe." Kana said, he can't stop his voice from breaking, emotions flood in him and he holds the Emperor's hand tightly like someone will take him away.

"I love you my Phoenix.. Hey, why my honey is crying.. I'll be fine.. I am not an Emperor for nothing.. I'll be back, I promise." Emperor Sunwoo said in a cooing voice, calming him as he wipe his tears, slightly pinching his nose.

Kana nodded, "I'll hold on that promise."

He tried to calm himself, he don't want to send off the Emperor with his tears.

They hugged each other before Kana fell asleep again, and when he woke up for the second time, he felt slightly better, he look outside and it's almost sunrise.

He look at the empty space in his bed, he touch it and prayed for the Emperor's safety.

After that heated night, they became more attach on each other and parting times like this felt painful on both of them.

Kana grab his robe and wear it, he tried to walk slowly, and he is limping each time he move his feet, his back is painful as fuck.

He shook his head in disbelief, the love making is really good and it made them up last night but now he's hurting like hell.

He look around and saw servants walking to and fro, but Sheen and Lili caught his attention.

"Sheen! Does the Emperor already left to the borders?" Kana shouted at her when he saw that they are chatting idly again like last night.

"Your Grace! Why did you wake up! His Highness said you can't move for a while." Sheen tried to help him sit in the small cushion in front of the courtyard.

Emperor Sunwoo cleaned him up last night and even changed him into his sleeping clothes, Kana is confident that he didn't smell like he just finished having sex the whole night.

"The Emperor is currently waiting for Commander V, Your Grace at the Palace entrance." Lili said, pouring tea on Kana's teacup.

Kana's eyebrow rose up.

"Waiting? Why?" he look around to find V, where is that man?

RM showed up himself.

"Goodmorning, Your Grace. V!" He called V, who's wearing a war outfit, but what caught Kana's attention was Jeon, hugging him.

"The Emperor is waiting."

Kana's mouth gape.

V made the Emperor wait?! How?!

Jeon heard RM and stubbornly tightened his hold on V, but the latter, slowly removes it,

He tried to stop his tears but he failed, he dried his tears but he again, failed.

"Baby, we need to go, the Emperor is waiting, I can't stay long here." V whispered in a law voice but Kana caught it and his ears irked up. He look at RM but the latter just smirks.

"We should not let the ruler wait for a mere war Commander."

"Will you be okay there?" Jeon sobbed.

V hold his shoulders, "Of course I will, you take care here okay?" V touch his belly and whispered something on his ear making Jeon smiled sweetly.

Then, they hugged for a bit, and V kissing Jeon's forehead before he turn his back and left the courtyard after he hopped on his horse.

Jeon saw Kana, he felt like he found an ally, the Emperor left as well, maybe Consort Han is sad like him? Jeon wipe his tears but it keeps on dripping from his eyes.

"Your Grace, why I can't stop crying? Can I go with them instead?"

Kana shook his head.

"No, stay here with me, I know you are worried about V, and I am worried about Sunwoo too so it's fair. All is fair in love and war. How are you feeling?"

Jeon's face turns pale.

"I wanna vomit, excuse me."

Kana's forehead furrowed. He saw how gently V touch Jeon's belly.

Is there a bun in the oven?!

What the hell?

"RM, go and check him!" Kana ordered him.

But RM just chuckled, "He's fine Your Grace, didn't I told you that I had been testing this medicine? Jeon volunteered to be the tester.. And your guess is as good as mine, Your Grace."

Kana's eyes widened.

"Jeon is pregnant?!"

RM nodded and Sheen and Lili went immobile.

Jeon came back after he released something bad in his tummy.

"Your Grace, can we make cinnamon rolls?"

Kana get up, and examined Jeon from head to toe. He is so happy to even utter a word.

Jeon keeps on blabbering that he wanted to eat cinnamon rolls but Kana is suffering in pain, he just told Sheen to bring some writing tools to write the recipe so he can rest in peace while they made the food this pregnant lad requested.

RM brought out the tonic from their "Laboratory" area in that courtyard and handed it to Kana, who's filled with hope as of this moment.

"Starting today onwards, you will drink the same tonic, Your Grace so Little Princes will run in this courtyard soon."

RM handed him a bowl filled with tonic again and Kana drinks it, hoping that he will soon get pregnant too.

Kana nodded, his children will indeed run on the courtyard, but not her in Jade Pavilion, they will run freely in the Sunflower Palace.

But he thought about something.

"You said it will take effect only if taken for a long time? This is just my second dose." Kana sighs, he remembered that Sunwoo put all his seeds inside him but he dared not hope that they can make it.

RM nodded, "Yes Your Grace, but it depends on how your body will accept the tonic, Jeon only drunk the tonic for two months, they were together since five years ago so this is really gift for them."

Kana nodded, a lamp of hope lighted in his heart.

If it works on Jeon, it will surely work on him!
