Frankish Kingdom, Western Europe
Drap, drape, drape
The sound of footsteps echoed in the palace hallway even to the front door of the royal hall room where there was a meeting of state officials.
BRAK!!!
Everyone immediately turned their attention to the loud sound of the door opening. There stood the crown prince who had intended to resign from his position. The man's face sparkled with sweat in the sweat. In contrast to the King who is ready to vent anger due to interference from his daughter.
“LUCAS! What are you doing?” hardik the King. I want to make a handsome face of his son. But, he won't. Because Lucas's face looks like the Queen's favorite wife . The king would beat his own wife. Totally dilemma.
“Dad! Daddy's! I'm proposed! Emperor proposed to me!” Prince Lucas prancing with excitement.
At first the King wanted to drag the Prince out of the room. However, after hearing about the reason his son did something ridiculous. The king also kept it. The middle-aged man chose to delay the meeting which was almost halfway through.
“We have another meeting tomorrow afternoon, It looks like my son has caught a big fish,” his kekeh is half thundering the contents of the meeting hall. However, later….
“Ekhem,” deheman someone interrupted the oddity.
The king was jolted by the existence of the person behind Lucas who was a person of the Aegis Empire. Seen from his clothes. But, there is something different. Is a courier's outfit that good?
“Who are you?” ask the King full of probes.
“Hamba the Emperor's advisor, specially sent a cover letter from His Majesty Emperor Alessa to Prince Lucas,” obviously the man made the King shut up instantly.
Lucas simply smiled as he dyed the paper. The King scratched his non-itchy nape.
“Oh! Oh my goodness, you're the Emperor's advisor. Please do not take seriously my joke just now,” his laugh was stiff. Really, should the King not continue the joke is meaningless. Even invited Aegis's advisor to laugh with him. Things get very awkward.
“No problem Your Highness,” advisor bowed condolently. As much as possible shows good attitude.
The main adviser could only smile and hold back the laughter looking at the Prince's behavior. If the Prince knew that the person who wrote the letter was the one who had injured his hand, would he still be able to kiss the letter?
“Lucas! Keep attitude!”
“Good Dad, I'm sorry. Let's advise, you can not go home before getting a banquet from us.” Instantly Prince Lucas' attitude changed very polite and well mannered. Advisors to the amazement were unable to speak.
***
Advisors get a very luxurious and delicious banquet. Even until the stomach of the advisor is bloated. It will be hard to walk home later. When dessert is served, the advisor remembers something.
“Thank you for the banquet of the King and Prince who was so amazing. Previously I wanted to convey the Emperor's message outside of the cover letter that I brought,” said the advisor made Prince Lucas curious, including his father King Frank.
The adviser rubbed his mouth and stood up from his chair. He puffed out his chest before blurting out a word.
“On behalf of the Emperor, Prince Lucas has been asked to be a concubine in the Aegis Empire. Therefore, it is expected that Prince Lucas will come with the servant to Aegis. He had to stay before the wedding ceremony. Because the preparations will be done in the near future,” bright advisor at length.
“Yes Your Majesty, we have brought you some statues of the God Hephaestus so that His Majesty the King is always blessed, and. earth letter as dowry.”.
“Land letter?” the King's materialistic soul began to stick out.
Advisors nodded. “Your Majesty the Emperor gave the Frankish Kingdom a portion of the western region to use as the King pleased. A sign if the Emperor values Prince Lucas as his concubine,” of course the Advisor keeps his master's good name with a little spice in his words. Kasiar only told him to give dowry and land letters without anything additional other than a message to Prince Lucas to advise and stay in his palace.
Prince Lucas knew the reason the Emperor gave such a large dowry, of course, made his heart flower. Feel valuable. I can't wait to see her again with the most beautiful girl she's ever met.
Unexpectedly the King was quite astonished, the initial intention of wanting to control the western area which was expected to be realized after Prince Lucas married the Emperor, was realized faster. Even when the application takes place. The king smiled sumringah. There is no harm in releasing Prince Lucas as his successor. At least, his son could be the way for him to control even more territory.
***
The departure of Prince Lucas to Aegis did not take too long. There was some drama at his palace. Such an interesting tug-of-war is going on between the Queen and the counselor.
“Do not go Lucas... How about Mom?” The queen held the prince's hand to keep him from leaving. While her husband is trying to persuade as gently as possible.
“Let Lucas pursue his love, my dear The Queen looked at the King. Not reversed? It is the king who is after the Queen.
“Mother... please, let me go. I will visit Mother as often as possible,” Prince Lucas seems to have transferred his love and love to the Emperor so that it is not so sad when leaving the country of birth and his mother. Love is really dangerous.
“You don't love Mom anymore?” The queen said with a sob that started to appear.
“Not so Mom, as long as I know. Emperor Alessa is very similar to Mother. That's why I'm crazy about him. I adore you, Ma'am..” Prince Lucas said to make the advisor squint.
‘Link? Just be right! Obviously Her Majesty the Emperor is the most beautiful woman on the Greek mainland. Even after setting foot in Western Europe. I did not find an apparition that could make me stumble over a stone while walking,’ grumbled the advisor inwardly.
After the praise that Prince Lucas issued seemed the Queen began to stretch the check. The woman simply wiped her dripping tears.
“Is it really like that?” the Queen assured me.
Prince Lucas nodded and smiled. “Of course Mother, that's why I have to be with the Emperor. I feel like I'm always with Mom.”
The queen stopped crying and rubbed both shoulders of her son. Occasionally glanced at the Emperor's advisors.
“Make sure the Emperor treats Prince Lucas well, you hear?” press the Queen on the counselor. Advisors bow respectfully.
“Hamba promised with my life Your Majesty,” the advisor swore so that the Queen could calm down. He did not hesitate to let his son go.
“Do not forget to eat, do not forget to brush your teeth before going to bed, and do not forget to wash your face so that your face is always handsome,” The Queen gives advice when the Prince rides a horse carriage.
“Mother, I understand,” Prince Lucas feels uneasy and looks to the advisor clumsily. Do not let the advisor convey this shameful thing to the Emperor.
The horse carriage also walked. The King and Queen waved hands releasing Prince Lucas' departure towards the Aegis Empire.
