Hareem of Queen Alessa
War's starting!
In a remote area on the border of the Aegis Country there is a fierce fight.
CRANGS! CRANGS!
The sound of swords clashing, rustling teased the silence of the barren desert area. The dense sunlight exposed the face of a woman who stood looming. His golden mane unraveled beautifully waving following the wind that was blown quite fiercely. Skilfully dodging every attack that was aimed at him.
Hiaat!
“Defend!”
“I understand!”
“Where is the power?” the remark made a flash in the woman's bead.
“Don't underestimate me!”
Kreek!
PRANK!
The sword that was about to hit the woman's body slammed into the air until it stuck into the sand not far from her stood up. He drew a sword at the opponent until a faint smile was imprinted on the man's face.
“You are great Mr. Princess, finally you can defeat the servant,” Darius stared in admiration at the Princess who had once almost died in his carrier.
“The fight is not finished as long as your head has not been severed,” he said in a flat tone. Cold is untouched. Do not forget his sharp eyes, able to give intimidation to his opponent.
The woman was Princess Alessa Melaina Aprhodite, daughter of Emperor Basil of the Aegis. The famous princess who had always been meek and affectionate had now turned into a person who was as cold as ice. His always radiating neutrality was twinkle and bright and changed with darkness and darkness.
Even so it does not fade the complete beauty that it has that is famous throughout the Aegis country, as the most beautiful woman in the Greek plains. Princess Alessa is famous as a goddess who believes she is the descendant of the goddess of beauty.
“An honor could die in your hands, Emperor Aegis!”
“Don't say that again,” Princess Alessa pulls the sword then inserts it into her sleeve. “I am not the Emperor, I am just a naive princess who believes if there are no bad people in this world.” Darius felt disappointment in every word that Princess Alessa spoke.
All of these changes are not without reason. All caused by the betrayal of the brother who he believed was the cause of the Emperor, the father of Princess Alessa died suddenly. Also the stabbing that the brother did to him. Since then Princess Alessa has hated men. Men are just cruel greedy creatures.
“You can seize it now Mr. Princess. Servant has gathered all the followers of the previous Emperor who support you as the real Emperor,” Darius always encourages Princess Alessa to carry out a coup. Took the throne that should have belonged to Princess Alessa. He also became the sword trainer of the Princess, providing the woman with martial arts in order to fight if anyone intends evil to her.
“After all, the people have suffered since the coronation of Prince Judas. He arbitrarily ordered endless work to build a statue of himself in the middle of the Aegis. Not only that, he forcibly took all the people's crops without setting aside the slightest for them to survive. Many of your people are starving to death!” darius' last words left Princess Alessa in shock. He did not expect during the 5 years of his brother's reign, the people were in trouble.
“You said what?”
“Save us Mr Princess, save Aegis!” Darius bowed before Princess Alessa.

That night the stars were scattered in the sky. Princess Alessa looked at the expanse of glowing objects on the balcony of her small palace, riled up many times taking a deep breath.
“Puteri, you haven't slept?” Darius came with a blanket. The man put it on Princess Alessa without being awkward. So close they were that Princess Alessa was mediocre. To him, Darius was a person he trusted a lot.
“Thank you, Darius,” Alessa smiled thinly. A smile that only Darius could see. All this time everyone had only seen the expressionless flat face of princess Alessa.
Darius nodded and sat down beside Princess Alessa. Following the Princess's eyes.
“I was thinking about what you said this afternoon, Darius. I really hate Brother. Nah! She was not worthy of being called Big Brother,” Princess Alessa clenched her hands until her books turned white. His anger instantly rose when he remembered the curse man.
“She has not been your brother since she harmed you, Mr. Princess.” Darius confirmed all the words of Princess Alessa. For him all decisions and whatever the wishes of Princess Alessa are top priorities.
“You've always been like that, Darius. Don't make me spoiled. Because a spoiled person is not a useful person. Troubleshooting losers, just troublesome.”
“Hamba never spoil you Princess, because everything you choose is the best!”
Princess Alessa threw a glance at the handsome man beside her and chuckled. “I have to pay dearly with all your thoughts. But, unfortunately I have nothing.”
Darius stood up and spread his hand. “You can see from east end to west?”
“Hm... yes I saw it,” princess Alessa followed Darius's direction to see the stretch of sand along the eye's gaze.
“All this is yours Princess, the plains of this country are yours!” Darius then clasped the hand of princess Alessa with a look of confidence. “Just the Princess gives the order, we the following of you will overthrow Prince Judas. Fight for your rights to the last blood point. You've changed Mr. Princess, you're not a weak woman anymore. The world is in your hands. You are the descendant of the Goddess, and servants believe it!”
“Darius...”.
“Wave the war flag as soon as possible, Princess! It is time to return to the land of the gods!”

The 5 years of waiting and training that Princess Alessa has been through is a provision that is considered sufficient to overthrow the government of Emperor Judas. Darius directed all the remaining former royal guards, as well as the citizens who volunteered to fight to open the way for the princess to face the despot.
For 5 years Darius also included spies in the government of Prince Judas to get information, when the empire was weak enough and right to be attacked. And the awaited news arrived. When Prince Judas sent 30,000 men to take down the Persian Empire. At that time the empire was vulnerable because the troops were deployed in the war.
Darius developed a wide smile accepting the news, enthusiastically conveying it to Princess Alessa. The blue-colored bead rolled beautifully scanning a piece of paper inscribed with information about Aegis. The princess took everything into account and pulled every corner of her lips just like Darius.
“We bring troops tomorrow!” princess Alessa's orders were directly taken by Darius.
“Prepare to do Your Majesty!”
The war started on the side of Princess Alessa's journey to the center of the Aegis empire. The palace he once occupied. With the armor she wore, Princess Alessa was determined to avenge all Prince Judas' treatment. He made sure Prince Judas' head was stuck on the tip of his spear.
