Hareem of Queen Alessa
Genuflection

Right now, the entire palace was busy preparing a party for the next few days. The 18th birthday of Princess Alessa. Princess Alessa is so happy, especially if Prince Fabian is coming. Because Prince Fabian has been doing that for the last two years. Princess Alessa misses her hard-to-find lover. They can only send letters because of the distance. Prince Fabian occasionally comes to spend time with Princess Alessa in the palace garden under a shady tree.

“Darius, have you heard from the kingdom of Prussia?” ask Princess Alessa. He was unrolling paper made from papyrus trees.

“You mean the kingdom of Prince Fabian?” sahut Darius's.

“Of course, who else?” kekeh Princess Alessa.

“Hm.. as I recall my servant, none of His Majesty,” replied Darius.

Princess Alessa seemed to catch her breath, the girl was disappointed. He also kept the tenth scroll he had read. That girl loves to read.

“Not usually, it's been a few months he hasn't told me anything. What's up?”

Darius saw sorrow in the eyes of the Princess. “You want me to send a messenger to get there?” bargained for.

“Hm? Actually, since yesterday I've been thinking about it. But, I'm ashamed. Do I not look aggressive by sending messengers there?” princess Alessa asked with a hue on her cheek. The girl was pacing back and forth because of the wrong behavior.

“Prince Fabian Weasley is your fiancee, it is natural that you would like to know his circumstances,” explained Darius.

“Really?” princess Alessa's face shone. What a very innocent and innocent girl.

Darius nodded. “Yes, Your Majesty!”

“Then, send the messenger now!” his orders.

Darius bowed respectfully and left from there. Princess Alessa stared at Darius's back with great hope, looking forward to some good news before the party.

‘I'm waiting for you, Fabian.’ murmured inwardly.

In ancient times, precisely in the 4-5th century BC. There was an Empire in Greece called Aegis. A prosperous and prosperous empire. Natural produce is abundant with farms everywhere. Not only that, the military power of the Aegis empire was so powerful, that many kingdoms were subservient under the Aegis Empire. The country led by Emperor Basil was also famous for his beautiful daughter.

Alessa Melaina Aphrodite, a charming 18-year-old girl, has her heart set on Prince Fabian Weasley, who is the prince of Europe. They've already made the engagement. The wedding will take place at the age of Princess Alessa, 20.

Princess Alessa was the daughter of the Emperor Basil with the empress Rhea who was no less beautiful. The beauty of the mother is really decreased in her daughter. That gentle and gentle attitude is able to melt any man who sees it. But, not everyone could see that, because Princess Alessa was always escorted by her personal bodyguards as well as war generals in her empire.

“Alessa's Princess, where are you going?” ask the Empress Rhea who was her mother. The middle-aged woman however, was still beautiful it entered the Princess' room. Princess Alessa wears a robe that she only wears when traveling.

“Mother!” Princess Alessa approached him and held the Empress Rhea's two hands.

"I'm going to Hephaestus temple,” he said.

“Hephaestus Temple? For what?” ask Empress Rhea.

“I want to do’a on Dewa to keep Fabian on the way to here.”

“Fabian is coming?”

“Didn't he always come on my birthday, Mom?”

The empress was silent and when she saw the look of hope on her daughter's face she immediately replied. “Ya, indeed! He always comes!”

Princess Alessa smiled. “Because of that, I want to mendo’nya. I don't want anything bad to happen to him. Considering he's been for months, there's no news. I miss him, Mom...”.

“Oh, my dear daughter. He'll arrive later. I'll ask her to ask you right away,” Empress Rhea rubbed Princess Alessa's head.

“What Daddy will agree? Because I'm not 20 years old yet.” his great-grandson hesitates.

“All for your sake, I will persuade her,” said Empress Rhea reassured.

Princess Alessa said she was accompanied by several ladies-in-waiting to the temple of Hephaestus. The woman brought a deity for the God to grant her do’. In the middle of the palace he passed by concubine Maria Eve with her son, Prince Judas Klark.

“Long live Her Highness Princess Alessa,” Consort Maria said as she bowed her body. Prince Judas just lowered his head. His body is still standing. Princess Alessa didn't bother him.

“Long life Mother Maria Eve,” her mouth is polite.

“Mr Princess where to go, bringing so many offerings?” ask Consort Maria.

The woman looked at each woman and the slave who was carrying fruit, jewels and livestock.

“I want to go to the temple of Hephaestus, Mother,” replied Princess Alessa.

“Oh, the Princess must be praying for His Majesty the Emperor to be healthy always,” Consort Maria explained. Hearing those words Princess Alessa scratched the tip of her nose.

“Hm... not really,” he said clumsy because it felt insinuated. “I want to mendo’ Prince Fabian,” he concluded.

“Yeah, forgive this very insensitive Mother. Of course Prince Fabian deserves to be told’ by Princess Alessa,” kekehnya and nudge the hand of his son. “True ‘kan Judas?”

“Ya, very fast.” Quickly follow. The man grinned.

Princess Alessa became unwell, as if thinking only of herself. “I will also mendo’ His Majesty the Emperor, Mother and Brother Judas.”

“Thank you Princess Alessa, it's an honor to get do’a from you,” Concubine Maria bowed condolently.

“No problem, because we are family.”

The concubine Mary smiled sweetly and patted Judas on the shoulder. “Take Princess Alessa to the temple, take care of her!” his orders to Prince Judas.

The man changed his face expression to a flat. However, then nodded.

“Is it not a hassle? Anyway, I'm not alone,” sergeant Princess Alessa.

“No hassle at all, let's go to the temple now!” bring Judas.

Princess Alessa said. He said goodbye to Mary's concubine and went to the temple with Prince Judas.

The worship process went well. Princess Alessa did’a very solemnly, closed her eyes while whispering pleading to the god Hephaestus so that Fabian was always healthy and happy and praying for the Aegis Empire to continue to be successful throughout the time. Not to forget he inserted the name of Emperor Basil, his mothers and his brother, Judas. When it became dark, they decided to return to the palace. Along the way Judas continued to look towards Princess Alessa.

“You sure do’amu will be granted?” judas's question distracted Princess Alessa.

“Means?”

“You did’a on lifeless statue,” ledeknya.

Princess Alessa's eyes are round. “Sister! Be careful with your words. You don't believe in the god Hephaestus?”

“No!”

“Sister! The god Hephaestus who guarded our kingdom to this day!”

“But I don't believe it. How can a statue grant so many wishes, while he is just silent in place. Not even breathing,” continued and left Princess Alessa flabbergasted.

For the first time he met a person who did not believe in Gods. And that person is his own family.
