From a distance the Prussians were seen approaching the palace. The guards opened the gate.
“BAGINDA KING, BACK!” call one of the guards.
The personal servant of Queen Anna who served at the front gate immediately informed her master of the news.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King has arrived at the palace.”
Queen Anna who was about to fall asleep immediately opened her eyes. He got out of bed in a hurry. “Prepare a beautiful dress! I have to welcome my husband!” his orders.
“Good, Your Majesty!”
Queen Anna wore a blue dress with a sprinkling of gems that made her the center of attention. Of course, everyone's attention will be on the sparkling jewel as he steps. Queen Anna walked gracefully until she arrived in front of the palace gates to welcome the King.
The group returned without a lack of a single member even, looking like it had not been fighting a war. Everything looks good and all right.
Seeing it certainly gives a question mark after previously there was news if their fortress was attacked. All were missed when a familiar horse-drawn carriage followed behind the Prussian entourage. Queen Anna
bought eyes.
‘A-what happened. Isn't that Aegis' horse carriage?’ inner Queen. He tightened his grip. Did the uncle fail to grant his request? Removing the Emperor.
Queen Anna held back her disappointment when King Fabian got off his horse-drawn carriage. The woman displayed a very natural fake smile. It is not apparent that it is just a lie.
“My king, I am happy to see you until the palace is in good condition,” said Queen Anna and hugged the King.
King Fabian did not respond when the Queen embraced him affectionately. His attention was distracted by the existence of Darius and the would-be Emperor concubines who stood not far from him. King Fabian let go of the hug.
“Baginda, they ... who?” Queen Anna looked around looking for the whereabouts of Emperor Alessa that was nowhere to be seen. There were only four handsome men he had never met. Their good looks for a moment
stupefied him.
“They-“
“I Darius Adolf, Aegis warlord. And, they all ... would-be concubines of Emperor Alessa,” cut Darius was able to make Queen Anna flinch. Three of the four men were the Emperor's men. How surprising.
“Ca-candidate concubine?”
King Fabian was reluctant to discuss it. What else is the Emperor's hareem problem. The man turned his head with a flat look at Darius. Why did Darius have to tell the status of the handsome men, his heart was still
grim with the Emperor's disappearance? There is no need to add salt anymore to make it feel more painful.
“Queen, best to return to the room. There's something I have to take care of.”
Queen Anna was not satisfied with the King's reply. “What problems? Why are they here? Then ... where is His Majesty the Emperor?”
“For a while they will stay here. I'll tell you soon. Maid, take the Queen to her room!” Fabian immediately left with the Aegis men. Before that, the men bowed respectfully to the Queen.

Queen Anna assigned one of her servants to search for information. Not long after, the latest information he got. The servant whispered in the Queen's ear. Queen Anna also smiled.
“Ah .. So Uncle managed to eliminate that woman? Emperor Louis is the best! I will give her a gift as my gratitude to her!”
“Hamba is pleased Your Highness.”
“It is a pity that the prospective concubines .. they all became widows before marriage. Hahaha .. funny, I don't think. She was so greedy, already had many would-be concubines but, still teasing my husband. Die
“How about we entertain those men with something. Don't we have some women who are good at dancing?”
“Ya, Your Highness.”
“Prepare a lavish banquet, include the dancers as solace for them.”
Queen Anna intends to make men forget the woman she hates. He did not know if his intention would be a matter of its own for him.

In a room some men seemed to be seriously talking about something. King Fabian tolerates Darius' attack on his fortress and takes many lives. All because of misunderstanding. This also concerns the continuity of peace between two countries that are fine. They are not hostile, if only they do not negotiate the cause of everything. They may be fighting for no reason. Now their priority was to find Emperor Alessa and Prince Evandor who were also in the entourage.
“Do you know about His Majesty's trip to Prussia besides you?” ask King Fabian.
“Nothing ... just us and you of course, Sire King,” clear Darius.
“If so who attacked His Majesty?” Prince Lucas bit his nails.
“If I had known, I would have told you, Prince. Stop making things hotter. That's not the question we need!” Prince Jerome was very anxious with one of his companions.
Prince Lucas pursed his lips. He chose to bow and pray for his beautiful wife. They are not married, just a soft kiss that he got. He would not have lost that woman. In fact, before he had imagined their baby candidates who would definitely be very funny. Failing is such a beautiful dream.
Jerome shook his head while taking a breath when he heard the faint prank of Prince Lucas. “Yes for mercy.”
“I have sent several people to guard the location where the attack occurred. Tomorrow morning we go there!” King Fabian offered a solution.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Helios agreed to this.
Darius remained silent, his heart was not calm. Actually since he broke the glass. His feelings are uncertain. He realized that something bad had happened to His Majesty the Emperor. Remembering Prince Evandor who accompanied
the Emperor. They should be fine. With the disappearance of both of them. Darius thought the Emperor was not alone.
‘I wish you a lot, Prince Evandor.’
The moment they thought of the other plan, the sound of knocking distracted all of them. King Fabian let the man in. It turned out that that person was a palace servant. His servant Queen Anna.
“Baginda King, dinner is ready. Queen waiting in dining room.”
The king looked at the palace window that displayed the current weather. The sky began to blacken, indicating it was already night. The man nodded.
“Good, I'll be there soon,” he said.
The waiter was also pleased. The king invited the men to dinner with him.
“We have dinner, after which you can rest. Tomorrow will require a lot of energy. No one should return to the palace before getting any clue about the whereabouts of the Emperor.”
Darius this time nodded in agreement with the King's plan. Although actually reluctant to cooperate with people who have hurt people who are very important in their lives. May tomorrow the gods take their side.
