The birthday of Princess Alessa has arrived. That night a festive party was held, various entertainments and lavish banquets were there. Everyone is happy. However, it is inversely proportional to Princess Alessa. The girl is upset because until now there has been no news about Prince Fabian. His emissary had not yet returned from a trip to the kingdom of Prussia.
“Your Majesty!”
A quick-step drape and a cry of someone managed to resuscitate Princess Alessa from daydreaming. It turned out that the one who called him was the imperial envoy assigned to go to the kingdom of Prussia.
“Gondor, why are you back?” ask Darius. The man approached the messenger.
“Pardon the servant of Mr. Darius, His Highness the Princess,” he said gasping for breath. The man bowed repeatedly.
Princess Alessa came closer. The girl smiled kindly. “It's okay Darius, the important thing is he's been up. Where's Prince Fabian? I didn't see it?” he circulated a look looking for his fiancee figure.
“What is this?” emperor Basil came there.
“Long the life of His Majesty the Emperor,” exclaimed Darius and the messenger.
“Long-life Father,” Princess Alessa welcomes her father.
Emperor Basil nodded then asked again. “Why are you even here Princess Alessa? The party is underway inside.”
“I'm waiting for Prince Fabian, Dad!” answer Princess Alessa.
“Prince Fabian has come?”
“The message I sent to the kingdom of Prussia has just arrived. I think he came with her,” explained Princess Alessa.
The envoy named Gordon looked down deeply, the man looked terrified.
“Pardon the servant of the Lord Princess, His Majesty the Emperor.” he said in a trembling voice.
“What's Gordon?” Princess Alessa looked over.
“Prince Fabian did not come with the servant,” the envoy added.
“You mean?” Princess Alessa looked astonished.
The envoy prostrated himself before Princess Alessa and held up a scroll of paper, seen in the corner of the paper, a symbol of the Prussian kingdom familiar to Princess Alessa.
The girl turned to the Emperor for approval, after which the Emperor nodded Princess Alessa took the scroll.
Princess Alessa took a deep breath, for some reason she felt a bad feeling seeing the response her envoy gave her. Moreover, instead of answering the question, the envoy instead gave him a paper scroll that came from the kingdom of Prince Fabian.
It opened the scroll slowly, though there was a growing curiosity. However, he did not deny the fear in his heart. Princess Alessa reads every verse there. Instantly his eyes widened perfectly, a sweaty hair oozed out from the pores of his forehead. His body instantly squeezed until he unconsciously sat on the floor.
“Mr Princess Alessa!” darius shouted worriedly.
“My daughter!” Emperor Basil was no less surprised. The middle-aged man immediately supported his daughter's body.
Princess Alessa shed tears, her chest tight. “Dad... dad!” lirih.
The emperor who saw Princess Alessa weeping then grabbed the paper and read it. In contrast to the sad Princess Alessa, she tightened her jaws in anger. The paper was squeezed so that it was formless.
“Badness!” maki Emperor with a raised voice. “FROMUS!”
“Hamba, Your Majesty!” sahut Darius steady.
“Prepare the army tonight too! We will attack the Prussian kingdom. I make sure they'll be level with the ground,” the Emperor snarls.
Just now she read an invitation to Prince Fabian's wedding with another princess. The man broke off the engagement that had been intertwined, just like that. Even with a piece of paper. Emperor Basil felt he was not considered.
“Don't Dad! Don't..” Princess Alessa holds her father's hand.
“For what are you still protecting that brash man? Did he look down on you? You are my heir! Does he not know that?”
“Alessa-“
“Please, please... Father..” that raucous voice touched the heart of the Emperor.
“Good! We'll talk about this later. You better rest now,” Emperor Basil rubbed his daughter's wet cheeks. And asked the lady-in-waiting to take the princess to her room.
Emperor Basil saw Princess Alessa walking away, her anger still not subsiding. But, seeing her pleading daughter made her melt as well.
“Darius..”.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” sahut Darius's.
“Down the party, and..call Mr. Cicero to see me tomorrow!” the Emperor's orders.
“Good, Your Majesty!” Darius nodded and bowed respectfully letting go of Emperor Basil who left from there.
Darius thought for a moment. If Mr. Cicero is summoned to the palace, there must be something very important about the kingdom. Cicero Tullius was a Greek statesman, lawyer, scholar, and author and a powerful justice official.
He was also credited with maintaining the Aegis empire in strengthening cooperation with other kingdoms outside Greece. You could say he was an ambassador in modern times.
On the other hand it turns out that there was Judas who had been observing Princess Alessa with the Emperor. The man stood not far from their existence. Hiding behind a pine tree so he could hear everything that was being talked about between Princess Alessa and Emperor Basil. The black bead sharpened, emitting hatred. Judas clenched his hands before finally leaving after the Emperor left the place.
***
Princess Alessa cried all night to sleep from exhaustion. How not, decided by the person whom he loved very much just because he was different Race of descent with the kingdom of the Beloved. What hurts more is the words written there.
An offer for her to become a concubine when Prince Fabian is appointed king later. Because of this, Kaisal Basil was furious, his daughter who was the heir to the throne would be made a concubine in the neighboring kingdom. An offer that disrespected his pride.
Until the sun is high enough, Princess Alessa just woke up from her sleep. Her eyes were clearly visible on her beautiful face. As he stared at himself in the mirror, only the shadows of his former fiancee flashed. Their two years togetherness was not meaningful enough for the man. Sadly, Princess Alessa is already in love.
“You are so cruel, Fabian..” those tears are back flowing. Really, Princess Alessa's heart is so weak. “You said you loved me, you said I was your queen Princess Alessa threw the gold glass on her desk in the mirror until it broke.
PRANK!
“Your Highness Princess Alessa!” the ladies entered the room because they heard the sound of broken glass. “You okay?”
Princess Alessa did not answer. He rubbed his face and spread his shoulders.
“Clean that fraction,” the command. Then he went out of the room without changing clothes even without wearing footwear. A lady-in-waiting who saw that immediately chased after the Princess.
“Your Highness, you have not worn solea*,”
Princess Alessa heeded it and continued to walk without direction. Princess Alessa walked down the corridor leading to the Emperor's room, from a distance she saw the crowd. His forehead frowned, and his heart fluttered instantaneously upon seeing his Mother, Empress Rhea came out from there in a state of tears.
“Mother!”
Empress Rhea looked over quickly. When she saw the princess's face, her cries broke.
“Alessa Princess..”
“Mother, what's up?”
Darius approached and immediately grabbed the body of Empress Rhea who was suddenly unconscious. Princess Alessa was shocked to the point of screeching.
“IBU!”
