Hareem of Queen Alessa
Middle aged woman

“Tell the 20 best soldiers to get ready. We're going to the Kingdom of Prussia to find His Majesty the Emperor!” darius shouted at one of his men.

“SAY SIR!” his men immediately went to the barracks to carry out their duties.

Meanwhile, from behind Darius' body, someone approached. Prince Lucas and Helios.

“Mr Darius, please let us come!” pinta Prince Lucas.

Darius stared lazily at the two men who were no better than him in swordsmanship. What do you want the two of them? Do they want to make it more difficult. His Majesty the Emperor alone has not been found, should Darius be increasingly

burdened with having to protect the Emperor's future concubine?

Darius did not reply, he chose to waltz away to prepare for his return to the land of the former lover of the Emperor. Had he known it would have ended this way, he would never have let Emperor Alessa send out an invitation

alone. As far as he was concerned, Prince Evandor infiltrated His Majesty's carriage. But why didn't the man do his job? What good would all these would-be concubines be if they could not protect the Emperor.

“Losers,” murmured Darius sneered.

Feeling neglected, Prince Lucas could only be disappointed. He was eager to find his future wife. Don't let anything bad happen to the woman he loves. Prince Lucas knew this must be all about the King of Prussia. Is it possible that the Emperor was locked up in the Prussian palace?

Prince Lucas bit his nails until they bled from anxiety. Helios who saw it immediately pulled the hand of prince Lucas.

“Please yourself, we will look for Your Majesty!”

“But, how? Mr. Darius is not at all a me-“

“I know how,” cut Helios with a reassuring look. The man looked towards Darius who continued walking forward. Helios is after the warlord.

“Mr Darius, I know a shortcut to Prussia. That way we can get there faster!”

Darius stopped his steps, looking back at where Helios was.

“You know?”

“I studied maps of various kingdoms including Prussia,” Helios explained.

“You think I can't read the map?” darius taunted.

“But sir does not know, if there is a hidden path hidden on every map. Only certain people can read it. Obviously, I'm not a good person to fight. But, I will be a little useful to decipher all sorts of symbols or gestures from other countries.”

Darius understood the direction Helios said. The man didn't think there was a hidden message on every map. Darius did not believe it. He opened the paper he had.

“So, do you think anyone escaped my sight?”

Helios took the map and glanced it toward the sun, slowly a path emerged from the paper that had previously seen no path whatsoever. Darius fell silent while Prince Lucas was amazed.

“Master can see, there is a path and there is an ancient Prussian inscription. Can you read it?”

Darius nodded. To be honest, he could read Prussian writings. But, for ancient Prussia, he would raise a hand.

“This is a Pyrenean mountain, a non-active mountain that we can pass. After that, we will go down the hill and cross the Rhine,” continued Helios.

“This is another path?” Prince Lucas looked at the map.

“Yes, we arrived in the Kingdom of Prussia through the back lane. Our trip will only take two days one night.”

Prince Lucas admired the intelligence of his rival. ‘Not only is he handsome, he is also very smart. Huft, do I have any loopholes to be able to win from him?’ the man's murmured shrieked.

This time Darius could not escape. The information Helios provided was very helpful.

“So, Mr... can we come with you?” ask Helios for permission.

Darius weighed and then nodded. “You only, Prince Lucas better stay at Palace.”

“What can you do, Prince? Mr Helios is still useful, while you?”

“I ... I can help anything!” prince Lucas.

“What?” Darius frowned then grinned. “You sure?”

“Yes! I'm sure!”

“Can you transport it?” tanya Darius gave three bags containing supplies on the way to Prince Lucas. The handsome prince was unwilling to accept while nodding because it was from the beginning of him

have agreed whatever duties given Darius as long as he is allowed to take part in the journey to find His Majesty the Emperor.

With ease, Prince Lucas became Darius' personal servant. The man boasted a smile full of mystery every giving orders. Helios could only shake his head inexhaustibly. In the midst of such a situation. Darius still had time to do such a thing. Or rather, prank Prince Lucas.

Looks like Darius holds a grudge against the man. Darius actually harbored resentment at every prospective Emperor concubine. However, because Helios was useful this time, Darius was able to accept it.

“After transporting the goods, please take care of the goods,” Darius' command.

“Means?” ask the Prince.

“I mean, Prince Lucas can sit on the freight train and keep things from disappearing,” concluded Darius managed to make Prince Lucas swallow. It's nothing, the soldiers seemed to hold back laughter seeing the Prince's pias face. Darius deliberately put Prince Lucas to shame.

“But, I-“ Prince Lucas was about to protest. However, Darius' gaze was so intimidating.

“What do you mind, Prince?”

“Ti-no! Not at all!” Prince Lucas finally gave up. In Prince Lucas' heart cursed Darius. ‘When Your Majesty is found, I will stir up all your bad behavior that oppresses me. Just look at …

I'll get back at you, Darius!’

Prince Lucas enters the freight train with a sour face. The soldiers walked behind the train.

“Good, then, we leave now!” Darius gave us command.

A hut in the middle of the forest

A man seemed to be lying weak. His body had a scar that was starting to dry up. The most severe wound is on the left side of the abdomen. Because the stinging pain finally kept the man awake.

“Hghh ...”

“You're sober, Son?”

A middle-aged woman entered the room. He carried a plate of food in his hand. The injured man was Prince Evandor. He blinked himself to find his body that was still intact after previously had jumped from the cliff.

“I ... still alive?”

“Of course you're alive. This drink, this herb is very efficacious to heal your wounds are quite severe,” said the middle-aged woman who had put a plate of food to the table and then gave a glass

drugs on Prince Evandor.

Prince Evandor saw the figure more clearly as he received the glass. The middle-aged woman's face reminded him of someone.

“Your Majesty?”
