Hareem of Queen Alessa
The West Fort of Prussia

The journey of Darius to Prussia went without any significant obstacles. They were only greeted with heavy enough rain that almost made Prince Lucas freeze to death.

The temperature in Prussia is lower than that of Aegis which tends to be warm. And, for the first time a Prince Lucas spent the night on the trip. It took 3 layers of blankets for him to survive. Even in the morning, he continued to sneeze. Darius behaved during the bodo when Helios asked him to stop for a moment.

“Don't spoil him, Mr. Helios. You are not the baby sitter!” ketus Darius answered Helios' request.

Prince Lucas who was so noticed also became embarrassed himself. Though all this time he felt very rivaled by Helios. “I'm fine, thank you Mr. Helios.”

“You heard the answer?” Darius welcomes the self-conscious voice of Prince Lucas. Helios could only sigh deeply.

Helios looked at Prince Lucas who nodded weakly. It's nothing, Helios can't bear to see a sick person. Prince Lucas's face was red. Helios knew what the man was really feeling.

“Mr Darius .. Prince Lucas, fever. It will be more difficult in the future if the state of the Prince gets worse.”

Hearing the words of Helios, Darius stopped his horse. The man came down and approached Prince Lucas. Roughly holding the blue-eyed man's forehead. True exists. Prince Lucas' body is warm.

Darius was also grunted. “WE BREAK!” his yell.

“Thank you .. Mr. Darius,” Helios smiles in relief.

Darius looked up to Prince Lucas. “Make sure you're healing fast!”

Prince Lucas is down. Why does he have to be sick? At a time like this he just regretted often missing in the training of soldiers in his kingdom. Training on agility that should be followed by him. However, because he was lazy he always reasoned if the King, his father, asked him to practice.

Shouldn't a leader be better than his soldiers?

“May Prince Lucas move into the horse carriage with me?” Helios predicted the fever suffered by Prince Lucas because of the night wind that hit his body.

Darius felt Prince Lucas was getting troublesome. He won't take a headache.

“Now he's your responsibility. I want him to heal tonight. Because we can't delay any more. Tomorrow morning, we should have reached our destination. You know ‘kan reason we are here?”

Helios nodded steadily and began to do her duty, which was to take care of Prince Lucas.

“I need a bowl of water and a small towel,” the Helios pinta on the waiter that was deliberately brought from Aegis.

“Good Sir!”

“Oh, make also Elderberry warm!”

Elderberry is an ancient herb made from the plant Sambucus nigra. Elderberry has long been used to relieve headaches, nerve pain, toothaches, colds, viral infections, and constipation.

Prince Lucas's body temperature has stabilized. Darius was silent to receive the news from the servant who also saw the treatment process that Helios did. The physician that Darius brought from Aegis himself lost deftly to Helios. The man was not only good at reading maps. He is also good at medicine.

“No wonder he became the most promising young man in Aegis,” said Prince Jerome shackled Helios' abilities.

“I'm curious, is he also good at setting war strategy?” Darius rubbed his chin. This way he can continue the journey.

“If so, she is indeed fit to be the Emperor's main concubine. What do you think, Mr Darius?”

Darius was most upset given the status of the men there. The Emperor's concubines. “I forgot to tell you that I really hate you all,” said Darius frankly.

“I know, looks from the way you talk and behave.”

darius continued and left Prince Jerome.

The journey continued. Prince Lucas fell asleep after receiving the drug that Helios made. Helios looked at the soldiers walking side by side in the horse-drawn carriage. Suddenly the car stopped. A cry from one of the soldiers took his attention.

“Mr Darius! We saw something!” the soldier who walked in front. Darius pulled the reins of his horse to get closer.

“What do you see?”

“Bendera Prussia.”

Darius saw a flag flying in a wooden fortress in the middle of the forest.

Helios out of the horse-drawn carriage. “We have arrived at the western defense of Prussia.”

Darius nodded and looked towards Prince Jerome. The three men nodded at each other giving a hint of what steps to take next.

“The horse-drawn carriage remains stationary in place. The soldiers came forward with me. Make sure there is no sound. We attack them in silence. Understood?!” Darius gave orders.

The servants, healers and chariots waited in a safe place. Two soldiers accompanied them as guards. The rest went with Darius and the Princes, except for Prince Lucas who was asleep.

Darius raised his hand and pointed forward, along with it the soldiers advanced and attacked the Prussian fortress.

They spread out on each side of the fortress, settling and looking for gaps. Paralysing the opposing soldiers. The still night and the dark situation gave Darius' army an advantage.

Only a few hours later, all the Prussian soldiers managed to compose them. Darius really did vent his frustration at the enemy. He slashed at the enemy mercilessly until his body was drenched in blood. Prince Helios was almost hit by a slash from his guard. This one man's swordsmanship was indeed the weakest.

“Thank you, Prince Jerome!”

“Sama-sama, don't let your guard down. We don't know if they're still around here.”

“There's escaped!” one of the soldiers shouted. Darius held the soldier to chase after the enemy.

“Leave it alone, let him report what happened.”

“What's the problem, Mister?” sahut Helios's.

“This as our warning form. There is no other way but to hand His Majesty back. If they ignore it, immediately send one of the soldiers to Aegis to bring 50,000 troops. We'll flatten Prussia that day too!” darius' smoldering eyes were able to give Prince Jerome and Helios goosebumps. Prussia was wrong to seek out the enemy.

Prussian Palace

A soldier with his wounded stomach was limping, he fell down in front of the palace gate. His comrades approached with shocked faces.

“What happened?” ask the palace guard. He also recognized the soldier's clothes. The soldier is. “You are from the western fortress?”

He nodded, trying to open his mouth that was bleeding. “We are in se-rang .. western fortress collapsed ....”

After saying that the soldier breathed his last breath. The two palace guards looked at each other. Birit walked into the palace and searched for the warlord to report on it.
