Hareem of Queen Alessa
Coups

The sky was still dark as Princess Alessa's army reached the front of the palace gate. The boisterous palace guards were on duty as they were outnumbered.

“We're on se-“

JLEB

The arrow pierced through the heart of one of the screaming guards.

“Good shot!” darius praised his soldiers.

Along with that came the sound of bells telling each guard, the guards were lined up on top of the fortress with arrows. However, because they do not follow directions. One by one the Aegis troops fell.

“Bersiap” Darius gives aba-aba. “Shoot!”

The rain of arrows filled the air fixed on each guard. They could not dodge until every arrow struck the Aegis palace guards.

“LAPOR ON COMMANDER!” shouted the Aegis guard.

“They're starting to get overwhelmed,” Darius laughs from outside the Palace.

“Mr Princess... please..” Darius reached out to help Princess Alessa get off her horse.

The woman finally set foot into her birthplace, where she came from. Not long after a guard came to attack him, Darius was about to dispel the guard. Yet….

ZRAASH!

Alessa's sharp sword tore through the body of the guard. Darius breathed a sigh of relief. She did not need to worry about her Master Daughter anymore, Princess Alessa was already more than ready to fight the guards even on par with Darius though. Because during the training, Darius did not at all demean his strength and skill in swordsmanship. Darius trained the Puetri just as he trained his troops. Even more seriously.

There was a splash of blood on Princess Alessa's cold face. Darius immediately cleaned it with his finger. ‘The cruelty of the world has tarnished your purity, Mr. Princess. Even so, I will continue to be by your side. Until my breath came to a halt, your happiness was my life,” the promise in Darius' inner self while gazing into the beauty of Princess Alessa.

“Thank you Darius,” said Princess Alessa who was completely unaware of the blood on her face.

“Sama-sama Mr. Princess, leave everything to the servant. Meet the guy!”

Princess Alessa paused for a moment and nodded. The woman immediately barged into the palace after her troops managed to break into the main gate.

“Send a message to the troops heading for Persia, to retreat first. We're getting an attack from an army unknown from where! The amount is big enough that we can't hold it!”Warlord Zurith gave a scroll to a soldier.

The soldier immediately ran. However, unfortunately while going up the horse, his head was severed by an invisible slash. Commander Zurith was flabbergasted.

“Ask for help? coward!” the voice of someone broke his shock. Even he's getting jerky.

“Da-Darius?!” The man in his armor retreated a step. Darius remembers once when his soldiers were slaughtered by the Zurith warriors. The man was merciless, but he repented when Darius found Princess Alessa at the temple where she was stabbed by Prince Judas.

“You still recognize me as it turns out,” Darius came with his soldiers. Urge the army of Zurith who stayed a little.

“Don't be rash Darius, you can be beheaded if you hurt the palace people.” Commander Zurith reminded. Darius laughed loudly.

“Oh, do you think I'm scared? Who would dare to cut me off? Didn't you also intend to kill the palace people first. Even an heir to the Emperor's throne!”  Darius snarled and drew his sword.

Feeling no voice to defend himself, Zurith raised her sword against Darius. “I'm just trying to keep what I've achieved, we solved the problem 5 years ago, now!”

Darius screeched, spat on the ground and advanced against Zurith.

“YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THE BLOOD THAT HAS BEEN BURIED FOR YOUR WAY!”

On the other hand, Princess Alessa walked down the palace hallway that looked stiff. All the guards and soldiers were on the front field against the troops he was carrying. Alessa stepped quietly with a sword in her hand. Every part of the palace and the room reminded him of the memory of the past. His feet stopped at a large door that connected him to a room. The previous emperor's room. If you think about it, Prince Judas would be here.

Princess Alessa took a deep breath before she pushed the big door open and revealed the figure she was looking for. The figure is standing on the side of the balcony which gives a direct view of the outside of the palace. The man was wearing a nightgown with a glass in his hand. Glass with red wine.

Princess Alessa entered the room without saying a word until the man turned his head and smiled at her. Princess Alessa is quite strange with the attitude of the man who used to want to kill her. Prince Judas approached. However, Princess Alessa immediately floated her sword, giving rarely between them. Princess Alessa wasn't stupid enough to let the snake-like man manipulate her again or hurt her again.

“Alessa's Princess, how are you? It turns out it is not easy to eliminate the descendants of the Goddess.”.

“Close your mouth!” hiss Princess Alessa alert.

Prince Judas looked at Princess Alessa's bloodied sword. The man chuckled. “You can kill apparently, you are not Princess Alessa.

“You better’a before I take your head off!” kecam Princess Alessa. He will not be provoked by all the words of Prince Judas.

“Berdo’a... are you still doing that? asking the gods? A god who just stays in place?”

This time Princess Alessa tilted her sword to almost fry the neck of Prince Judas. The woman did not want to hear anything more from the crafty man.

“If nothing else, I will behead you.”

“Hehehe, I'm so scared…. Very afraid of you,” prince Judas is still twitching himself.

Princess Alessa is on the verge of patience. He drew his sword and slashed the right hand of Prince Judas and broke it.

ZRAASH!

Prince Judas' right hand fell on the floor followed by the man's scream.

“AAAAAARRGRGGGHHHH!! YAARGGGG!!! MY HAND! MY HAND!”

“Why don't you laugh anymore?”

Prince Judas wept in pain and was unable to answer Princess Alessa. Princess Alessa prepares to put up the horses to finish everything. But, at that time also Prince Judas realized and said the thing that made Princess Alessa stop slashing the man's head.

“Ji-if you kill me, you.. aaargg.. You will never, never know where your mother is!” prince Judas said before the man closed his eyes in a bloodless stupor. Princess Alessa snapped and threw her sword.

“KAU! DAMN YOU JUDAS!” Princess Alessa knelt down and patted the man on the cheek. “WHERE IS MY MOTHER! JUDAS!” Princess Alessa kept screaming asking where her mother was. Only Prince Judas knew.
