CHAPTER 5 - THE HAREM

*VESUSTA EMPIRE*

(Western of the Imperial Palace)

THE WESTERN HAREM

The glamorous ambiance of this palace gave the immediate impression of wealth and luxury. The western harem consists of 2 royal consorts from the western duchy. Her highness, royal consort Erina and Lady Andrea.

The beautiful lady, with her porcelain skin and milk-blonde hair sat on a throne-alike couch as she glared at the kneeling masked men in front of her. None other than Lady Andrea. The killer gaze of her blue eyes glimmered in gloom as she is extremely unpleased by the news she received.

“You failed to kill a single princess that's only escorted by 24 people?! Aren't you ninjas?! I was informed that an individual of you could slain a hundred trained knights! What a disappointment!” Andrea said, vexed.

“We apologize for our failure. We sure did taint our name and pride, thus we would like to extend our magical contract till the princess of Emirald died.” Said the seems to be leader of these ninja group.

Andrea smirked, pleased by their respond. "Hmmm. This is why I love making deals with your people. Sure, go ahead. I will add the payment as well so there is no need to feel burden. You are dismissed.”

The masked men just nodded and vanished in air within an instant.

THE SOUTHERN HAREM

“Lady Venusa, his Majesty has summoned for you.” The maid called for her highness. Lady Venusa who is current having a teatime outside her garden glimmered, adding to her red beauty.

She stood up and walked under this sunny day. The sun reflected on her red hair, making her shine even brighter. Her porcelain, fair, silky skin gave an even more to her incomparable beauty. The blue gown she's wearing perfectly suited on her.

“My, even though the relative of Empress Esmeralda have arrived, his Majesty still thinks of only you! For sure, you're going to become the next Empress because of the undying love of his Majesty for you, your highness!” The maid of Venusa, Clara excitedly stated.

“Watch your words, Clara. That may be conceived as blasphemy.” Venusa gently responded like a good noblewoman she is. She appeared like an angel with her soft gazes and smile, as well as her tone and actions. She's like a precious, fragile flower everybody wants.

But everybody got their secrets, don't they? Alas, Lady Venusa is none than the one who sent the eunuchs just to insult the arriving princess, the niece of her love rival. As someone who also hold the authority for the imperial internal affairs, she's also the one who gave the old, dirty tower for Marga.

No one would believe that the Angelic Venusa is the one who's scheming the worst for Marga. Well, not that anybody can really go head on head with Marga and her people.

NORTHERN HAREM

The northern harem consists of 12 Royal concubines and 1 Royal consort. Lady Samantha and her 12 women.

Lady Samantha sat down as she's with tea time while listening to the bluffs of her women.

“My, I heard that Lady Venusa Gave the tower for the princess of Emirald."

“That old tower? How cruel of her. The young princess will not last long here. She will soon going to beg for a divorce or kill herself...or be liked by 'them'.”

“Why, yes. That will happen for sure. Afterall, Lady Venusa just declared a war.”

“And she will not only gonna face lady Venusa but as well as lady Andrea.”
