Hareem of Queen Alessa
Coronation Party

Aegis Palace

Prince Lucas walked half-hastily down the palace hallway looking for the Emperor's whereabouts until he reached the end of the stairs to the lower floor. There was already a crowd of guests who were unmasking him. And he saw the Emperor who did not cover his face. All the consequences of the incident that just happened to him. The attention of the guests was on the Emperor who was standing on the pulpit of greatness.

“Oh no, everyone is now seeing my female beauty!” said worried. Prince Lucas immediately descended and mingled with the crowd while enduring the pain emanating from his injured hand. While the Emperor was delivering something on the pulpit.

“I as Emperor Aegis apologize for the unpleasant incident that just happened. All just misunderstood and successfully resolved. Let's continue the ongoing event. I hope the guests do not feel worried anymore and can enjoy all the banquets we serve,” explained the Emperor.

Darius could only feel sorry for his actions. Because of his actions, now the Emperor shows his beauty that he deliberately hid.

Hearing the apology of the number one Aegis certainly makes the guests relieved and feel better. One of the guests held up his glass high.

“His Majesty's apology is too precious for us... for the great Aegis Emperor!” said someone with a brownish yellow bead, his mane golden blonde like the Emperor's.

The guests raised their glasses and called out, just as the man did.

“For the great Emperor Aegis!”

Emperor Alessa smiled and welcomed the red wine. The woman took a sip of wine as she glanced at the handsome man who turned out to be staring at her. The emperor recognized the man from the typical clothes his country came from.

“Mesopotamia..” whispers. Darius immediately raised his head when the voice of the Emperor was caught in his ears though faint. The man looked at the Emperor who was watching someone across there. The man's anger was stifled when the man shamelessly rolled one eye at the Emperor. Darius was about to advance however, Emperor Alessa stretched out one hand.

“Do not make me apologize for the second time Darius,” Emperor Alessa said softly and chuckled at the end of the speech. “Isn't she sweet enough?”

Darius clenched his lips with a hardened jaw. The man returned to his place and lowered his head.

“Pardon me, Your Grace.”

“I know your intention to always protect me. But, obviously you know if I'm not that weak. Trust me,” concluded the Emperor.

Darius was silent. Everything the Emperor said was true. The woman is not weak. Darius only felt threatened and was not ready for the Emperor's intention of appointing another man as a concubine. Letting many men surround him. Because all this time there was only Darius on the side of the Emperor.

“How's Helios? You can see the Emperor clearly. Give your opinion!” sindir Tuan Atalla mocked his son who had been silent since.

The young man chose to bow with his blushing cheeks. I can't believe what his father said was true. The beauty of Emperor Alessa is not just a fantasy. Even since the Emperor had climbed the pulpit, Helios could not take his eyes off.

‘I have never met a woman as beautiful as the Emperor, is she the incarnation of Goddess Aphrodite?’ his words in his heart admired the beauty sculpted on the Emperor's face.

Mr. Atalla caught Helios' gurgle with a small laugh. “I'll give you a chance to get close to Emperor.” Hearing this made Helios flinch.

“A-I'm approaching the Emperor? How to?” obviously not confident. The sense of joy that since from his house is mountainous is now lost somewhere. Because at first he thought the Emperor was an ordinary woman. There was nothing interesting, just relying on power to suppress every one of his servants.

Mr. Atalla raised his eyebrows. “Didn't you like reading romantic stories? You like to make poetry?”

“Then why do you always boast of having a goddess's wife if you can't seduce her?”

“Dad won't understand, we used telepathy,” his great-grandson lied. Honestly, Helios never once interacted with the opposite sex. That was the reason why he was not sure that he could get the Emperor interested in him.

“Omong empty! This is why I always tell you to go to the school Mr. Cicero held. You're smart but can't communicate, what's the point?” Mr. Atalla is furious. Her son is too shy.

Helios squeezed his hand. Glanced silently at the Emperor who was so charming. He did not dare, but did not want to give up either. He saw a man with a bandage in his hand talking to the Emperor. The beautiful woman seemed to be paying close attention to the man. Helios wanted to be that close to the Emperor.

“Then I have to how, Dad?” eventually he broke down his pride and admitted defeat to the father. Of course he will accept the marriage that his father wants. More precisely he did not refuse anymore because without him knowing Helios had fallen in love with Emperor Alessa.

Meanwhile, in another part of the palace hall, there was a figure of a man with a mane that was long enough to observe the Emperor. She thought the woman who could overthrow the rule of Emperor Judas was a burly woman with a rough face. All his shadows have been replaced by reality that he still cannot accept. How could? the frail and gentle woman subverted the power of a Judas known for her cruelty. It really made the man curious.

“Emperor Aegis is indeed able to make the concentration of adam buyar. Do not be fooled by its outward appearance. You must remain vigilant,” said the King of Persia who is his father. The man who had long ago unraveled was Jerome Istvan, the prince of the Persian Country.

“I understand Father.” Pangena Jerome nodded.

“Dad heard the news if the Emperor wanted to appoint some men as his concubines. You can see the men swarming into cheap men crawling at his feet. Basic woman, he thought he could change the nature that has been outlined by the God?” added the King as if to mock.

“Couple?”

“Yes, of course. I don't know what's in his little head,” the middle-aged man sipped red wine to the toilet.

“Little head capable of defeating Emperor Judas,” Jerome said slowly.

“Could he use that beauty for Judas,” as long as the King starts to concoct. He seems to be getting drunk.

“They're Brothers, Dad!”

“Maybe they are followers of King Fir’aun? But, if you are chosen as a concubine.. will you be willing? At least we avoid war. Dad is not looking to spend a lot of money,”

Prince Jerome just shook his head. He called his bodyguards to bring the King.

“Bring His Majesty into the car!” his orders.

“Good, Prince!” the two guards who took the King.

“Hei Jerome... Dad still wants to drink a glass of wine!” The Persian king looked rebellious. The guards stopped. However, Prince Jerome signaled that his father should be dragged away.
