Hareem of Queen Alessa
Aegis Fate

Forestlands

“But, Mr. .. “ denies the soldier. They did not agree with the Duke's decision to let go of Emperor Alessa just like that.

The repudiation of the soldier clearly made Emperor Alessa not stay silent. He stuck the sword closer and closer, even to the point of scratching his neck and spitting out a little blood. Duke Tristan was not exempt from the soldiers.

“I'm not messing around!” the Emperor Alessa. Duke Tristan shook his head with his deathly pale face, the man looked back at the soldier. His eyes glared as a gesture from her. The soldiers finally stepped back and walked away from there slowly. After all the soldiers had left, Emperor Alessa fled immediately.

Duke Tristan was silent, he was not chasing after Emperor Alessa. He would catch up with the Emperor after some time. He did not dare to take the resko at the time when Emperor Alessa was in a state of turmoil like this. Other crazy actions might happen.

Emperor Alessa continued running without looking back. He knew it couldn't be that easy to escape the clutches of Duke Tristan. Although the man was currently seen not chasing after him, Emperor Alessa had to remain vigilant.

With the knowledge he learned from Darius, the woman managed to get down from the mountain without getting lost in the forest. He reads the situation well and tries to control himself to stay calm. The first thing he did was to find a river. After finding the river, he went down by his side until he ended up in a settlement.

The time that Emperor Alessa took was certainly not short. He spent the night in the forest alone. Luckily, he was able to make a bonfire and was armed with a sword in his hand. Fill the stomach with grilled fish he caught from the river.

From behind the bushes Emperor Alessa observed a settlement that was arguably not so dense. There are about 5 houses that are quite far apart. By then the sky was almost dusk. The Emperor's bead was glued to some strands of clothing that were draped in a piece of wood that was attached as a place to dry clothes.

He looked at himself first, his appearance was very striking. Although the clothes are not too glamorous for the size of noble clothes. But, the surta material is clearly easily recognizable. Emperor Alessa again looked at the sun-dried clothes. He looked to the right and to the left making sure it was around.

When he felt safe enough, the Emperor immediately took the clothes. Replace it behind the bush. The material is so thin that the cold directly penetrates each bone joint.

“I hate it here, the weather is too cold,” he lamented while blowing his almost frozen hand. Emperor Alessa threw his clothes behind a bush and left the settlement.

Meanwhile, Prince Jerome with two soldiers had just reached Aegis. However, his arrival was not at all warmly welcomed by the palace. Even when he entered the palace, the guards immediately caught him and the soldiers who were with him.

“WHAT-WHAT-WHAT! UNTIE ME! I AM YOUR FUTURE EMPEROR CONCUBINE, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?” Prince Jerome tried to shake off the rope that was holding his hand.

No one answered, along with that the sound of footsteps came from behind. Prince Jerome.

“Which emperor do you mean?”

An unknown man came and I crouched down before Prince Jerome. His very different face to the Aegis character made Prince Jerome frown.

“Who are you? You're not an Aegis!”

“You're not either,” says the guy fast.

I'm not playing a word with you, let go of me right now before I punish you heavily!”

“HAHAHAHA, calm down Prince Jerome. I know you very well. The Persian prince who licked Aegis. Your little country is nothing in the eyes of my country.”

Prince Jerome is confused. He needs an answer to what's wrong. Surprisingly all the guards seemed to submit to the foreign man.

“All of you, have you forgotten who your Emperor is?” Jerome said as he looked at the silent guards. They looked away as his eyes collided with the Prince.

Prince Jerome was surprised, how could that fellow know of the news. The man shook his head hard.

“No! The emperor is not dead. The Emperor is being held in Diocletian and I'm here to pick him up with you!”

“Stop saying nonsense. I'll open your eyes and stop your delusion.”

Not long after the man said a cry from inside the palace sounded out loud. Prince Jerome was speechless.

“YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS THE EMPEROR OF JUDAS HAS ARRIVED!”

The figure of the ruler in the past was seen sitting on the palanquin of the Singasana. His two arms were severed as rumored. Isn't he in the dungeon? How could he be here and become Emperor again?

“No way,” said Prince Jerome.

“This is reality. It is precisely you who have been living in a dream,” whispered that person who is still unknown to Prince Jerome.

“I hope Emperor Louis keeps his promise. Make sure my life is safe. I don't want to die yet,” Judas squeezed both his hands. I don't know what made his heart not calm.

“You rest easy, His Majesty Emperor Louis will never forget you who have meritorious. Tell the secret passage to Aegis. Until we get here without a hitch. And those useless people didn't have time to move because we had a sudden attack. Enjoy that noble office until Emperor Louis gets here. After that you can become a Minister, is that enough?”

Judas was silent for a moment and then nodded. A stiff nod. “Ya ... is enough.”

“Good decision.” The man smiled cunningly.

The figure was Gustaf, the Chief servant of the imperial household of Diocletian, who was assigned to escort Judas to the Aegis. Take over the throne

succeeding Emperor Alessa who is rumored to have died. Emperor Louis used Judas as a pawn that he would later remove.

So Judas and Emperor Louis have been allies for a long time. Emperor Louis also administered poison to Emperor Basil. Deadly poison originating in Eastern Europe. Judas used it to remove traces and prejudice as a criminal and he managed to outwit Mr. Cicero. Even Mr. Cicero had exposed it to Emperor Alessa if it wasn't for him. It was also what allowed Judas to enter the Palace unsuspecting.

***

Prince Jerome and the Aegis higher-ups returned to the dungeon. When we get there. Lord Cicero prostrated himself before Prince Jerome for neglecting to guard Aegis.

“Ampuni servant Prince, all wrong servant. If I had been more vigilant, none of this would have happened.”

“Mr Cicero is not wrong, all happened because of the cunning of the people of Eastern Europe. Even the emperor Judas will not end well. Right now the most important thing is to inform Mr. Darius of the state of Aegis. Only he who

can help Aegis!”
