The tea party began, the guests this time very much because the palace is open to the public. Even ordinary people can come in to the front door of the palace, they all gather in the palace courtyard.
While the Emperor and his four concubines stood on the balcony upstairs waving their hands at the people.
"Long the life of His Majesty, the Emperor!"
"Long the life of His Majesty, the Emperor!"
"Long the life of His Majesty, the Emperor!"
All the people chanted the name of the Emperor, no one felt strange about the move of Emperor Alessa to take the male concubine as long as it did not affect the Aegis economy. The people saw more of the work of the Emperor than his personal life. A trust that the Emperor gained from his subjects. The eyeballs of the prospective concubines who have different colors look and are amazed at his future wife. It turned out that their future wife was the Emperor who was loved by his people.
‘Really, you are so outstanding Emperor Alessa. My heart is completely adrift with your name, Lucas' inner’ while printing a sweet smile on his lips.
"Amazing" Jerome murmured directly
getting a small punch in his stomach area from Lucas.
"Can you keep your mouth shut, Persian?" lucas String Sarkas. The man is uncomfortable and does not like it if other men praise his future wife.
Prince Jerome looked strangely at Prince Lucas. "Why? I reveal what I think? Should we wrestle here?" saith.
Last night he had calculated with Evandor because of his abusive behavior. Now see, the prince of the Roman land can only remain silent while enduring shame. Now, a Western European blood who was his sworn enemy provoked a commotion. Already
jerome should have served it.
"As usual, you must be relying on your muscles. If you dare, I challenge you to a good-looking fight!"
"Do you think you're the handsome one?" Jerome immediately pulled the corner of his lips as a sign of ridicule.
"Don't you know, everyone from Western Europe knows the good looks I have?" lucas is full of confidence.
"Handsome? Even the eyebrows you use are artificial eyebrows" Jerome sneered at Lucas.
Lucas had already wanted to throw a few punches at Jerome's huge body. However, as there was Helios now in the midst of them, he was in great distress. Unlike earlier he was so easy to take a punch for Jerome.
“If I have noticed, Mr. Helios is the most handsome here. I'd rather bet you two. Because in fact, I do not rely on good looks,” remarks by Prince Jerome managed to peck the anger of Prince Lucas who in his heart admitted the reality.
“You!”
"Please calm down, there are many people who see us. Are you gonna make a free soap opera here?" helios quits debate between Prince Jerome and Lucas. Not only that now Prince Lucas also silent.
While the Emperor was among the men, he had since listened and observed the debate between the concubines. He was a little proud of Helios who showed the soul of his leader. It is not wrong to make her a concubine. The emperor began to think of elevating Helios as the chief concubine. The man who will set the rules in the palace harem.
The Emperor waved his hand again to welcome the people who were going to attend the tea banquet. The Emperor seemed to be smiling at his people. On the sidelines of the wave of the hand, the sound of a warning of an announcement was heard echoing. Making the people who had been rejoicing were now silent in an instant, the situation in the palace became silent.
"My people, maybe you've all heard about my policy of having four concubines. A move to establish cooperation and friendship with several countries that have been Aegis allies so far. For that, I will introduce the future concubine who has been selected so that you will know and respect her in the future as my companion."
"The man who stood at the very end of the corner was Prince Evandor Daryan, son of the King of Mesopotamia. Next to him is Prince Lucas Geovanni from Western Europe. Then there is Mr. Helios, the son of the Minister of Defense of the Aegis. Jerome Istvan was the son of the King of Persia.
“Greet them, my people!” the exclaiming of Emperor Alessa made the concubines feel so appreciated. Prince Evandor had kept his head down since earlier.
"Long life of the Emperor's concubines!" People exclaim
Now the people rejoice to welcome the feast held by the emperor. Without anyone realizing there was one man who did not
showing happiness. Yes, he was Evandor, the prince of the Roman land.the man felt guilty about the shameful incident he had done.
After being introduced to the people of Aegis, Evandor repeatedly stole a glance at the Emperor who looked different from the bone-white dress wrapped around his body, just a decoration in the hair that added to the sweet impression. Appears the holy figure of an Emperor.
Evandor now circulated his gaze in embarrassment. However, he saw Darius. Evandor felt intimidated by Darius who kept looking at him. As if to mock and warn himself to leave immediately from there.
"I can't be like this continuously. I will try to be honest with the Emperor so that what I have done does not disappoint him," Evandor's inner resolve to be able to admit his guilt to the Emperor.
It was fortunate that a moment had passed, now the Emperor
instruct to get off the balcony and let his people enjoy the party without having any awkwardness again.
Evandor, who saw the Emperor walking out of the balcony, was chasing after the Emperor.
Darius who saw Evandor's behavior immediately prevented Evandor from approaching the Emperor.
"Her Majesty the Emperor. I beg you to give me a little time to speak with Your Majesty," Evandor asked with a bowed body to beg the Emperor to give his time.
"Relax Darius, she's my concubine. Let him speak to me" said the Emperor, who immediately made Darius step aside from the place. Darius went away. However, it did not necessarily make Prince Evandor more comfortable. The guilt is so piercing that it will reveal everything.
"Thank you Your Majesty for the generosity
You" said Evandor when Darius was no longer by the Emperor's side.
"Say," the Emperor's orders went straight to the heart of the matter. The woman folded her hands under her chest.
Evandor immediately stiffened, stiffly prostrating under the feet of his future wife.
The emperor took a step back, he did not understand what the prince of this Roman country was doing. With a hint of curiosity he then asked, "What makes you behave like this?"
"Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive the servant who has made an unforgivable mistake" he said bluntly.
The Emperor frowned, feeling strange with the attitude of one of his concubines. The emperor waited for the prince to speak again.
"The servant has committed a great sin, the servant is unfaithful to His Majesty. The servant made a fatal mistake, but the servant begged His Majesty to grant the grace of forgiveness."
"What have you done?" ask the Emperor
clarify the problem point.
Evandor immediately told all the events he had done together with the palace servants without any lies.
"For that I ask forgiveness from His Majesty and not to expel the servant from the palace" Evandor concluded.
Evandor was very confident that what he was doing right now, it would definitely make the Emperor forgive him. But, beyond a doubt. The emperor did not flinch. Just looking flat at Evandor who had disappointed him.
