Hareem of Queen Alessa
Services are invaluable

 The meeting of Darius and Emperor Alessa was blue. The woman hugged the warlord who had served her since she had not been Emperor. Time is at a standstill for both of them. Darius channeled his pent-up sense back then, boldly wiping the Emperor's face. He had not expected to meet the person who was rumored to have died by Emperor Diocletian. Emperor Alessa himself let him. To him what Darius did was common.

“For God's sake, you're still alive!” darius said somewhat shivering.

“Yes Darius, I'm alive! And I'm glad to see you again.” The emperor nodded with a smile. A smile that Darius had not seen for a long time.

Darius shook his head.The happiest one was himself. “Hamba is very grateful His Majesty is fine. Worries of direct servant raib not imprint.”

“Thank you for worrying about me, Darius.” The Emperor returned a smile.

Darius was stunned and wanted to embrace the Emperor again. However, his intent was restrained by the sound of someone behind his body. Darius closed his eyes withstanding bitterly.

“Your Majesty, is that really you?”

The summoned emperor looked towards the voice. The handsome man with a bead as blue as the ocean looked at him with a surprised face.

“Prince Lucas? You're here?” Emperor Alessa only realized the existence of his future concubine. He thought that the less shrewd man in the sword would not be possible here.

Prince Lucas immediately approached half-runningly, without warning directly hugging Emperor Alessa. Darius who was beside the Emperor immediately stepped back. At that moment, Helios walked over. The man's face was no less surprised. But, then he smiled happily because do’nya granted. The woman who was going to be his wife turned out to be fine. That means the contents of the letter obtained by King Fabian is a lie.

“Your Majesty, thank goodness you're still alive. You're doing fine! Servant misses you so much.”

“Pa-prince, relax!” Emperor Alessa let go of the embrace.

“Hamba is very sad to hear the news that His Majesty is dead,” Prince Lucas said sadly. Hearing the Prince's words suddenly made the Emperor widen his eyes.

“Where did you hear such news?”

“From King Fabian. He received a letter from the Diocletian Empire to Queen Anna,” Helios said.

“Helios!”

“Long life His Majesty Emperor Alessa,” greetings while bending legs. The man sat down in front of Emperor Alessa.

“You are also here?”

“Yes Your Majesty, all concubines are looking for you since you did not return with Prince Evandor.”

“So, you're all looking for me?” ask her with haru feelings. So many care about him. Including the men he doubted his loyalty to, “why look for me? You can be with another woman if you know I'm dead.”

“We believe His Majesty is still alive, even if His Majesty is gone I will not be married for the rest of my life. ”Prince Lucas smiled faintly. There was a longing in his eyes. Helios himself nodded in agreement to Prince Lucas' words. The emperor held the hands of Prince Lucas and Helios.

“Thank you for believing and believing in me. Thank you!” Emperor Alessa kisses both of his future concubines. The two men instantly froze with their red faces extinguished.

Everyone rejoiced at the return of the Emperor. The woman told me everything she had experienced. He was held captive by Duke Tristan.

“Brazed man, I'll teach him a lesson!” Prince Lucas snorted with hatred. Emperor Alessa chuckles at his behavior.

“You won't let you do it, Prince.”

“Why?”

“Because of the possibility that you will be battered by it.”

“Is he very strong?” Helios was curious about the figure so bold with his Emperor.

“He is equivalent to Darius. By the way where is Darius?” The emperor was looking for the man. Since the Emperor was with the prospective concubines. Darius disappeared.

“Come,” Prince Lucas said lazily.

“I have to look for it.” The emperor rose from his seat. “Quickly we should return to Aegis!”

“Diocletianus will attack Aegis due to leader vacuum!” the Emperor said before he went to look for Darius. Prince Lucas and Helios looked at each other with a difficult look.

***

Darius threw small stones into the middle of the lake. The rock glided regularly before finally getting into the water. The man was silent a thousand languages with various thoughts in his head. He had seen the Emperor who was so attentive to the prospective concubines made his heart throb pain. Disturbing pain, making tightness. Darius had tried to get rid of the pain by hitting his own chest. However, it did not produce any results at all.

“Haaaahhh!” Darius let out a tired sigh and finally sat on the edge of the lake.

“What are you doing, Darius?” the Emperor's voice succeeded in making Darius flinch. The man looked back too. The Emperor approached him with a smile that he began to display frequently. That smile wanted Darius to keep it to himself.

“Your Majesty? What is it gonna take?”

“Do I bother you?”

“Not at all, Your Majesty!”

“We have to go back to Aegis, right now!” The emperor gave the order. Darius frowned.

“Are we not going to attack Diocletian? We cannot allow what they have done to His Majesty!”

Emperor shakes. “No! Aegis is in danger. That guy was planning to attack Aegis when I wasn't around. He deliberately spread rumors of my death!”

Darius flinched, he had absolutely no thought of such a thing. he was sure Aegis would be fine with Mr. Cicero there. In fact he had sent Empress Rhea to take over power temporarily. But, what if Aegis had been attacked before Empress Rhea arrived? What was the fate of Empress Rhea and the Emperor's concubines?

“When will they attack Aegis, Your Majesty?” darius asked in panic.

“Entahlah. Clearly, I have escaped the attack of Diocletian's forces. What's up Darius?”

Darius looked at the Emperor with a face of fear and guilt. He immediately pulled the Emperor's hand and brought him back to the horse-drawn carriage. Darius gave instructions to prepare to return to Aegis.

“WE RETURN TO AEGIS!” yells.

The faces of the soldiers were half confused. The emperor felt strange about the attitude of the soldiers.

“Darius!”

“Im sorry Your Majesty's servant. It seems like the servant has endangered the life of the person who means so much to you.”

“I don't understand what you're saying? A person of great value to me?”

“The Empress Rhea has been found, and the servant sends her back to Aegis with Prince Evandor and also Prince Jerome. The servant asked him to rule Aegis as long as we searched for His Majesty. Servant does not know if Diocletian will attack Aegis and I do not know how Aegis is at this time.”

“A-what did you say? Mother found?”

“Iya Your Highness.”

The feeling of happiness and relief was clearly felt by the Emperor. However, it was only temporary because it was immediately replaced\ by a very intense fear. The emperor gripped Darius's clothes who looked down with regret.

“How dare you harm my Mother, Darius!”

“Her Majesty's servant law.”

Emperor Alessa tightened the grip. “I will definitely punish you. You just wait. But, before that you must promise to stay alive and always fight with me. Darius, you hear?”

Darius raised his face. He saw the Emperor looking at him expectantly. Although the steps that Darius took endangered the Emperor's mother. It did not make the woman forget that Darius's services were priceless. Therefore also Empress Rhea was found. The emperor really felt indebted to Darius.

“Life and death servant only for You Your Majesty.”
