Hareem of Queen Alessa
Oase in the barren desert

Prince Lucas's Room

“Prince, please open the door! It's dinner time,” Cain knocked on the door since. The man began to worry because the Prince did not come out of his room.

“I'm not hungry! Seru Prince. The man rolled under the blanket and curled up on the bed.

Prince Lucas was ashamed of what had happened to him. ‘I want to disappear right now,’.

Cain bit his finger, what did he have to do to get the Prince to go out of the room and have dinner? The loyal servant was almost desperate until a voice distracted him.

“Your Majesty the Emperor has arrived!” exclaimed a servant who walked over to Cain.

Cain who saw that was immediately evil. He was surprised not to play until stuttered. “Ya-Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty the Emperor wishes to see Prince Lucas,” said a servant who bowed respectfully. Right behind the servant stood the Emperor.

 “What prince Lucas is there?” Emperor Alessa asked.

“A-there is His Majesty.. but. since this afternoon the Prince shut himself in the room. Servant was coaxing her to get out of the room because it was time for dinner,” Cain said frankly.

“So, since then the Prince has not eaten?”

Cain shook his head, knowing it made Emperor Alessa unwell. He paused for a moment and asked the waiter for something.

“Bring dinner here now!”

“Good Your Majesty!” the waiter immediately went to get food. After that the Emperor took a step forward to stand right in front of Prince Lucas's room, Cain retreated to make room for the Emperor.

The emperor looked at Cain, the man nodded.

Geck, tok, tok!

“I told you I'm not hungry!” prince Lucas' voice boomed along with the impact coming from the door. It looks like the man threw a pillow over there.

Cain lowered his head in fear, not expecting his master to scream so loud and loud. If only he knew who was knocking on the door.

‘Yes Lord Prince, right really looking for trouble,’ Inner Cain screamed.

The waiter who had just been asked to bring dinner had arrived. The Emperor asked him to come closer, then the Emperor picked up a tray containing the food.

“Your Majesty, let me just servant,” the servant is condescending and is about to arrest the Emperor. But, the Emperor smiled meaningfully, a gesture he knew so as not to refute. The waiter also chose to.

The emperor knocked on the door. This time it was no longer a scream that was heard. But the curse was right in front of the Emperor's face because Prince Lucas opened the door while swearing. “Are you deaf? HUH?”

The pias faces of the servants and Cain were clearly emblazoned, time was stopped. Prince Lucas realized that in front of him was not Cain, but the great Emperor.

“Hm... I don't know if I'm deaf,” Emperor Alessa rubbed his ear with a faint smile.

The stunned Prince Lucas could only curse himself inwardly. ‘Dead you Lucas!’

“Mari toast,” pinta Emperor Alessa while lifting her glass. They were having dinner together in Prince Lucas's room.

Prince Lucas obeyed. After drinking the wine, Prince Lucas looked down again. He could not look at the Emperor. How could he curse an Aegis ruler? Prince Lucas rubbed his neck, as if it was hard to swallow food that entered his throat. Or rather, he was imagining if his neck would be in the snare of a rope. It looks like he's going to die young.

“What are you thinking Prince?”

“Ti-no,” Prince Lucas shook his head.

“Really?”

“Prince, I'm here to apologize to you,” the Emperor revealed the purpose of coming to Prince Lucas.

“ Apologize?”

“Ya, over the incident earlier this afternoon.”

Prince Lucas, who wanted to bribe food, became a snag. He put the food back.

“Why not eat?” The emperor frowned.

“Emperor need not apologize, in fact.

Gloriously. Servant regrets not much to learn,” Prince Lucas realizes his shortcomings

and start not being confident. Should he be with the Emperor?

“Dan.. forgive the matter of the greeting of the servant just now, Your Majesty is not deaf at all.”

Emperor Alessa blinked then chuckled. He laughed very loosely, in addition to childish turns Prince Lucas is a very funny man.

The laughing Prince Lucas could only put on a confused face, adding he was stunned by the laughter of the Emperor. It turned out that Emperor Alessa was much prettier when smiling as well as laughing.

“You... very cute Prince,” Emperor Alessa is still laughing just this time it has started to subside.

“What Emperor happy funny thing?”

“Of course, I rarely feel this way. Maybe lately my life is too serious,” the woman laughs until her eyes water. The emperor tried to wipe it. Prince Lucas did that first. Prince Lucas rubbed the corner of the Emperor's eyes gently, as gentle as his smile.

“Hamba wants to make the Emperor keep smiling and laughing. Servant wants Emperor to be happy when we are together,” Prince Lucas said seriously. His bead stared straight at precisely locking the Emperor's gaze.

“Prince Lucas?”

“Hamba know, Your Majesty will never return the feelings of servant. But, His Majesty only needs to know if the servant will always support the Emperor. The servant will give up his whole life and the loyalty of the servant to His Majesty, until the end of the age,” the man stood up from his seat then rested beside Emperor Alessa. His eyes exuded a sincerity that the Emperor could clearly see.

During this time the Emperor more often heard and saw mirages. Is there such a thing as loyalty? Sincerity from a man? Perhaps the first man he thought of was Darius. Though that loyalty is from a knight to his master. But, it turns out that there are still figures similar to him. Without any disgusting hypocrisy.

Emperor Alessa tugged at every corner of his lips, stroking Prince Lucas' severed cheeks to enjoy the tenderness of the woman's hand.

“Thank you, Prince Lucas.

“What has happened Prince? Your face is so red!” Cain was surprised by his employer.

“Be-really?” Prince Lucas looked at his face in the mirror.

“Yes! Do I need to call a healer?”

“Ti-no need, I want to go to bed soon. You out!” reject Prince Lucas, the man does not seem to mind the state of his face.

“You sure, Prince?”

“Yes, I think tonight I can have a beautiful dream,” The Prince smiled brightly with his face blushing. Unfortunately, Cain did not see that smile because Prince Lucas had already rolled his body into the blanket. This time he did not groan anymore.

His heart was pounding irregularly considering the thing that had happened during dinner with the Emperor. After his statement of feeling, the Emperor kissed him. Landing his red lips on Lucas' dry lips.

The kiss is like an oasis that gives freshness to the barren field. Prince Lucas' lips immediately felt moist. Until the morning of Prince Lucas did not stop holding the sweet trail.
