A/N: hello, everyone, I know it has been long since I posted

Chapter 15

Harry woke up to weak sunlight filtering on the edge of his bed. His eyelids felt very heavy and his mouth smelt and tasted like death. He scrunched his face at the ghastly taste and opened his eyes.

He woke up to Hermione nodding off on a stool next to his bed. He grunted and tried to sit up but it was enough to wake Hermione up, she shot up immediately, visibly relieved to see him up.

"Mistress, it is so good to see you awake, you have been sleeping for four days!" Harry couldn't believe that. His back was still paining him but not as much as he thought it would. He could also feel his magic and it was not weak at all, he smiled at Hermione "Before anything else Hermione, I would like to get cleaned, I feel ghastly," and gestured her to help him up, he was surprisingly steady on his feet and didn't actually need her help to walk to the washroom, at this he questioned her, "Did something happen, Hermione?" "Oh yes, mistress so much has happened, so many things have changed while you were sleeping but let me help you cleaned first, and then I will tell you everything." With that, he moved towards the washroom. When he came back there was already food waiting for him near his bed, Hermione served him food, and when Ronald brought the potion, Harry obediently drank the potion with a slight grimace at the taste, allowing Hermione to wipe his mouth with a silk handkerchief without fussing. Afterward, the royal healer was summoned to clean and redress Harry's wounds on his back. The healer was very thorough and quick. After the healer left, "Now that everything has been done I hope according to your satisfaction would you like to inform me tell what have I missed and why do I feel so much better than I should, I was magically exhausted so my magic couldn't heal me?" Harry asked sassily. Hermione's cheeks pinked at this, and she initially hesitated but eventually revealed all that had happened from the Emperor and his lovers visiting him on that day and every day till he woke up. She did not say what happened today in the Emperor's palace, seeing that her mistress had just woken up and did not want to shock him. Harry was amazed that the Emperor and his lovers had visited him regularly and he knew for sure that they had lent him their magic so that he could get better only that explained his better form, he could feel his magic though not as powerful as before but still so much better. He was still mulling this over when Ronald announced the Emperor and his Lovers were at the entrance, he quickly gestured Hermione to help him up and to help him kneel down to greet them, but Thomas stopped him, " No Harry you do not have to kneel now, please go back to your bed." Harry went back to his bed and greeted them, "Greetings, Your Majesty, My Lords," he asked Hermione to prepare tea and serve it. "How are you feeling now Harry, we had hoped that would wake up today," Severus asked "I am feeling much better My Lord, all thanks to you, Hermione informed me that all three of you have been helping me," Harry said shyly. Hermione entered the chambers with tea, served them tea, and left the chambers. "You do not have to thank us, Harry, you have done a lot more than we could ever repay you, so please be at rest, it is what you deserve and so much more," Lucius said. "Yes Harry you are our omega though we have neglected you from the start, I don't intend that to happen again and as I had said that in the garden, you are so precious Harry, to all of us," Thomas said possessively, Harry blushed and bowed his head as he couldn't meet their eyes he was feeling so shy. "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I do not know what to say," "You don't have to say anything Harry, you just have to accept it, accept us, and we promise to cherish you and put your happiness before everything else." "Your Majesty, please I am just a lowly changzai, I don't deserve so much honor….." "No Harry you are a brave person who had been fearless enough to stand up to the Consort Delacour for a person who has always insulted you…" Lucius interrupted him, Harry's eyes widened at that he did not think they would know all that had happened that day or Malfoy's foul behavior for that matter.

Thomas moved towards him and took his face in his hands and said softly, "You are not just a lowly changzai Harry, not just a supreme omega, no you are a kind, brave, and honest person. You are so much more than just one title and we are blessed to have you as our wife and in our life. We intend to live up to your standards Harry to protect you, cherish you and love you." Harry couldn't control his tears even if he had tried with all his might.

Hearing the Emperor's words settled something in him that he didn't even know had had to be settled. Their words confused him but he wasn't going to turn away from their affections because of his past insecurities. He was shocked that they wanted to love him, though he was still sceptical about how long it would last. He would take what he could get but his omega, on the other hand, was so satisfied and happy… no not happy it was euphoric, he wouldn't be surprised if he started purring now. Thomas wiped his tears soothingly, "Do not cry my little love, we are here now and forever." Lucius put a hand on Thomas's shoulder and bent down to Harry's level and kissed him on his forehead, "Yes Harry you do not have to worry we are going to take care of you now" "Move, both of you, let me also be close to Harry," Thomas chuckled and moved to make room for Severus. Harry was shocked at the familiarity between the Emperor and the Kings, he

"Oh hush Severus do not tease him, he is still not well," said Lucius smiling at Harry. "Harry we are getting the palace closest to ours ready for you. You will be moved when it is ready, these quarters are not fit for you and once when you are better we will have the celebrations of the Prince's birth, and I won't hear any protesting about the palace."

Thomas informed him before Harry could interject. Harry just nodded his head at that but when he remembered the prince he asked, "How is the prince Your Majesty, I was not able to ask Hermione that yet". "Ahhh… always concerned about others before yourself, yes the prince is in very good condition, we have named him prince Orion Malfoy the first prince of the imperial kingdom," Lucius said with a smug smile.

Harry smiled at that, "Congratulations My Lord on being a father, may the heavens bless you, how is Imperial Concubine Malfoy doing," "Ohh… yes he….he is fine, now rest some more, we will visit you again tomorrow, little love," Harry found the way his question had been answered strange but decided to let it be for now. Too many other happy things to think about……..

Thomas kissed him on his forehead and stood up to leave but did not allow Harry to get up to see them off. Harry was in a daze after the Emperor and the Kings left him. He had never in his wildest imagination thought that the Emperor and his lovers would want him as he was and not just because he was a supreme omega. He did not know how to behave or what to think, they had trusted him enough to be carefree in front of him. He decided then that there was nothing more important than their trust but he still couldn't accept the Emperor could love him. No still not that confident…..

When Hermione came in he asked her how the Emperor and the Kings knew all that had occurred. To that Hermione just smiled and said, "They asked me mistress and I told them everything. They had seen me coming out of your chambers with bloodied rags and I promise mistress that in all the time that I have worked here in the palace, I have never seen the Emperor so angry," "Did he hurt you," Harry asked frantically, Hermione gently shook her head at her kind mistress, "No mistress he did not, they just wanted to know what had happened. Apparently they only knew of the Imperial Concubine's suffering," she said cuttingly, angry at the injustice of it. Harry didn't know how many more surprises he could take today. It was one surprise after another so he was going to do what the Emperor had suggested and go to sleep. He would dissect all these new revelations later. Deciding this he asked Hermione to dim the lights and drifted to sleep with a smile, after all, he was so happy.
