Hareem of Queen Alessa
Next Mission

Diocletian's Palace

The Duke of Tristan who was waiting for the Emperor did not come. The middle-aged man wondered.

“Why Duke Tristan has not arrived?” ask the head of the imperial household, Gustaf.

“Hamba will check it again, Your Majesty.” Gustaf said was about to go find out. However, just now he was about to leave the sound of notice distracting all the guests in the palace hall.

“Mr Duke Tristan has arrived!”

Emperor Louis smiled at his singa. The person he relied on the most had come to the party made for the man. The emblem of the Duke Tristan family's flag which is a lion shows his power, the power of the Diocletian Empire. Each country has its own sign. The Aegis emblem is a painting of the goddess Athena as the goddess of war. In Europe, Athena was known as the goddess Minerva. The name Aegis means shield of the goddess Athena. Greece was therefore under the aegis, the patron of the goddess Athena.

A handsome man with a golden mane entered the hall, his manic like a ruby gem looked coldly at everyone. He would only sparkle when staring at Emperor Alessa until his neutrality sparkled. A thing no one knows.

“Tristan de Abelard facing the sun Diocletian, His Majesty Emperor Louis,” greet Duke Tristan while bending his feet before Emperor Louis.

Emperor Louis raised his hand. “Build my son, Duke Tristan de Abelard. Congratulations on your success in fulfilling my duty.”

Duke Tristan smiled faintly as he nodded. “All only for His Majesty,” he said lie. What would happen if Emperor Louis knew the truth?

“You never let me down,” said the Emperor proudly. The man stood up and took a glass of red wine. Lifting high. “Let's toast to the glory of Diocletian, because then there will be many missions that we have to do, Duke.”

“New mission? What is Your Majesty?”

“Of course take over Aegis, isn't their leader dead. Before other countries realize it. We must first occupy the Aegis. Greece's heyday is over.” Emperor Louis said with ambition in his eyes. Duke Tristan simply pursed his lips tightly. I don't know what's on his mind right now.

The party lasted until late at night. Guests surround Duke Tristan. Especially single women who try to seduce and offer to warm their bed that has long been cold. The man was unmoved with his mind out of place. Remembering Emperor Louis's next intentions. What should he do? Release Emperor Alessa to save Aegis? Or keep the woman locked up, make her Duchess on paper. Because he would not be able to display the woman in a general audience. His safety was threatened because his status would be a fugitive if Emperor Louis knew he was still alive.

At first he did not know if the woman he judged was an Emperor. Emperor of a great country famous for its military power. Aegis never lose, they seem to have superpowers passed down from their gods. But, all will not be the same without a leader. The Aegis is only a shell in the absence of Emperor Alessa. Given how much the woman glorified her title and her homeland, would she remain silent on learning of the intentions of Emperor Louis to take over the Aegis?

Take off the woman even Duke Tristan is not able to. He's been cursed with a dead love. Love is imposing, because before that was all Duke Tristan knew. Must have and be by his side until at any time. One of them suffers and wants to leave.

King Fabian and the would-be concubines begin the search. They even set up a tent so that they can continue to search into the forest. They will continue to search until they get a clue.

“Minum,” bargain Helios give warm tea to everyone. The man was not only handsome and smart. But, also hilai in household affairs. What a dream husband of every woman. Prince Lucas could only sigh deeply, annoyed at not getting Helios' weakness. The man who had been reserved became the Emperor's main concubine.

“Yes! Thank ye. I'll sleep first!” prince Lucas replied after drinking the tea and then went into the tent.

“See his behavior, during the search alone he whines a lot asking for rest. And now he sleeps first. I'm confused why you brought him here, Helios?” darius asked who was taken in by Prince Jerome.

Helios smiled faintly. “Prince Lucas is the likely concubine the Emperor likes the most. I just want the Emperor to be happy when we meet him. At least he found out that Prince Lucas was very worried about His Majesty.” Helios knew that before the Emperor left, the two of them met in one eye. From there Helios summed it all up.

“You're so airy, are you not jealous?” asked Prince Jerome curiously. Just this time he met someone like Helios.

Helios shook her head. “We all belong to the Emperor, it should please His Majesty. Reply all his generosity to us.”

Darius chuckled at Helios' reply. He got up from his seat. Darius was not willing to listen to any more problems of prospective concubines, making it difficult to just swallow the tea. “You're a very rare person. Because there is no love that does not want to have it all. Are you sure you've fully liked the Emperor?”

Darius' question really surprised Helios. From the way Darius spoke, it was as if the man knew what love was. The ice-cold and cruel man of the god Hades could mean a feeling? Helios tried to digest everything. Prince Jerome was no less surprised, only that he did not extend it. Helios was trying to understand Darius's intentions.

Helios paused for a moment to let Darius go from there. The man walked towards his gathered soldiers. Before long Helios' eyes were rounded, he looked towards Darius with a look of disbelief.

“Oh No! This can't happen ‘right?” the strangulation of Helios made Prince Jerome astonished.

“What do you mean?”

“Mr Darius, he .. There is a heart in His Majesty! He loves His Majesty the Emperor!”

Prussian Palace

Queen Anna wrote a letter to her uncle Emperor Louis. He asked the news of his request to eliminate Emperor Alessa. He wanted to make sure the woman was dead. That way no one else can take her husband. King Fabian's heart may be on Emperor Alessa. But, over time the feeling will be eroded if the person concerned has disappeared from this world. A feeling that will never come.

“You sent this letter again like yesterday, do you understand?!”

“Good, Her Majesty The Queen. Slave farewell,” said his personal servant, Tina.

“Go, and make sure no one knows this problem.”

The waiter nodded and left from there. Queen Anna clasped her trembling hand. The feeling of excessive fear always came and disturbed him to make his body like shivering. Sometimes he gets rid of it by drinking alcohol. Drunk until morning.
