Hareem of Queen Alessa
Mysterious Letter

The rising sun shone on the once dark sky. Giving life so that every living creature is awake from his deep sleep. None of this applies to Prince Evandor who hasn't closed his eyes all night. He thought of Natalie's words about the Emperor not looking for her. But the man thought something else. Things that can make his heart restless. It didn't matter if the Emperor forgot about him. Perhaps, he was busy with wedding preparations. Prince Evandor tried to understand. But, what if that's not the case? What if something happens to His Majesty the Emperor? Something bad, for example.

The man shook his head, trying to shake off those crazy thoughts.

‘Do not until my negative thoughts occur. I have to make sure of it myself!’ inner raging.

Prince Evandor got ready that morning to return to Aegis after breakfast. Natalie can only resign when her efforts are in vain. His provocation had absolutely no effect on the man. The prince wanted to get out of there quickly.

Maria's mother stood at the door of the hut to remove Prince Evandor, while Natalie just looked down without wanting to raise her head. Prince Evandor touched the young woman's shoulder. At once he looked up with a confused face.

In contrast to Prince Evandor, the man spread a sincere smile. “I go first, thank you for all your kindness,” her words managed to make Natalie even sadder.

“I'm sorry Prince for saying the no-no yesterday,” Natalie is aware of his words inciting the Prince.

“No problem, I instead thank you. Because of you I know what I have to do. There is no time to delay, I have been too relaxed. I don't know the true state of the Emperor.”

Mother Maria who listened to the conversation of Natalie and Prince Evandor also felt astonished. Why did Natalie call the man she knew as Hans to be a prince?

“Is there something I don't know?”

Prince Evandor recalled that he had not revealed his true identity to the woman who saved his life.

“I'm sorry Mother Maria, I haven't told you that my name isn't Hans, it's Evandor Daryan. Prince of Mesopotamia, future concubine of Emperor Aegis.”

For some reason the look on Mother Mary's face changed, her expression difficult to interpret. The middle-aged woman blinked with quivering lips. Stepping forward and gripping both hands of the Prince. “Prince of Mesopotamia, future concubine of Emperor Aegis?”

“Iya Mother Maria, what's up?” Prince Evandor was slightly surprised by the grip of Mother Mary.

“Bu-is not Emperor Aegis is ... a man?” her question was stamped.

Prince Evandor understood what Mother Maria meant, the man immediately shook his head. “It was one year ago. Aegis already belongs to the new Emperor, Emperor Alessa Melaina Aphrodite.”

At that time, Mother Mary took off her grip to sit on the ground, Prince Evandor and Natalie were surprised to see it.

“What's up, Mom?” Natalie bent her legs to check on her mother's condition.

“Emperor Alessa .. Oh my God... Alessa ...” Mary's mother shed tears, her body shaking violently.

“Mother Maria, what's up?” Prince Evandor was no less worried about such a drastic change in attitude towards Mother Maria.

The woman did not answer all the questions she asked. Maria's mother looked at Prince Evandor and frowned her fingers. “Bring me Prince! Take me to the Emperor!” the door was loud with tears streaming down.

***

For many days, King Fabian and others searched for the existence of the Emperor. Tracing the forest deep enough, leaving every river to the valley. However, neither he found the Emperor nor Prince Evandor. They're almost desperate. In the middle of the search, King Fabian received news.

“Baginda King!” Knight Albert walked over to King Fabian who was talking to Helios.

“What's Knight Albert?”

The man in his armor looked around including at Helios. Knight Albert whispered his point to the King's ear. King Fabian listened carefully until his forehead shriveled. Helios himself stepped back to see a code so as not to interfere with the knight. He kept the distance between King Fabian and his men.

“It's lunch time, we rest!” darius stopped the search for a moment.

Prince Lucas, who saw Helios alone, approached. He was curious about the neighboring whispers that had happened with King Fabian.

“There's something?”

“Stop, I didn't eavesdrop,” replied Helios quickly.

Prince Lucas pursed his lips. “Huft, why not? There may be some good news!”

“If it is indeed good news, we will certainly be notified immediately,” Helios cleaned his dirty sword after slashing the trees.

“You are very patient, what's wrong with knowing first,” grievances Prince Lucas does not want to lose.

Helios shook her head without wanting to chim in again. Prince Jerome came with a loaf of bread and stuffed it into Prince Lucas' mouth to keep the man quiet.

“Eat quietly.”

Helios smiled slightly and received food from Prince Jerome. “Thank you.”

“Sama-sama,” Prince Jerome nodded. He sat next to Helios.

“You are indeed a tyrant!” pekik Prince Lucas. He was almost choked by the bread.

“As of you.”

Darius who sat a little far away just silently looked at the childish behavior of the prospective concubines. Before long, King Fabian approached those who were enjoying lunch.

“I'm sorry, it looks like I have to go back to the palace. There is urgent royal business. For Mr. Darius, I will command Knight Albert to accompany you and make ends meet during the search. Tell me about the developments you found to the palace.”

Darius nodded. “Good, Your Majesty, be careful on the road.”

King Fabian smiled. Regardless of his former attitude of wanting to eliminate all the Emperor's men. At times like this he even worked with prospective concubines for the safety of the woman. It seems like the universe is joking at him. King Fabian left behind those who continued to search.

Long story short, the king arrived at the palace. As he walked in the palace courtyard, the man caught a familiar figure who seemed to be walking while sneaking around. His attitude is suspicious. The king followed him until he was unaware he was being followed. Because of his curiosity the King also voiced. Calling that man to the sculpt.

“Who are you?”

That guy was stunned. His steps immediately stopped, looking slowly. His eyes immediately glared when he knew who was calling him.

“Ya-Your Majesty?”

“Tina? What are you doing?” King Fabian pulled the hood worn by the man. That person was none other than the personal servant of Queen Anna.

King Fabian looked at Tina with intimidation, his gaze fixed on a letter held by the woman.

“What letter is it?”

Tina who had been caught off guard could only squeeze the letter. His body shook violently from fear.

Tbc.
