Two Faced Princess
Chapter 3
After making sure his wife's pulse had completely stopped, Without a speck of regret Gaius turned towards the door.
The knight Ellenia loved, her strong stature, her coarse dark hair, the golden eyes that used to be only for Ellenia, and the low voice that used to fill her ears.Leave it just like that.
Gaius left Ellenia and their whole world behind him.
………
But a golden-haired girl who was hiding behind the fireplace bit her lips hard to blood. His tears kept falling but he could not close his eyes.
The Apollonia body froze in fear. He did not even dare to touch his mother's body even though his father was gone. Her mother's last words echoed in her mind as if Ellenia was shouting those words in her ear.
“Defend….King..”
He has to survive. He must be King
Those words were deeply embedded in the soul of Apollonia
………
7 Years later..
“Please greetings.”
16-year-old Apollonia was called to the banquet hall. He and Paris took turns greeting 5 women who looked several years older than him.
“From now on they will stay here as concubines. You guys should be polite”
7 Years ago when Princess Ellenia and King Pascal III died for unknown reasons on the same day, Gaius Liefer cried bitterly and refused to eat and drink.
On the other hand many are worried about his health, many are also talking about how harmonious the royal couple is
“I heard they met in the Liefer area like fate ya”
“Your worries are useless Your Majesty also loves Gaius”
“That is more worrying if His Majesty the King and His Highness the Princess died what about His Highness the Queen (Gaius) and Her Majesty Paris?”
At that time the King finally received Gaius, the man his daughter loved. He loved Gaius as his own son. Gaius who came from an ordinary family became a strong general and built a lot of military power.They built a harmonious family and the happiness lasted until the King and Princess died of a mysterious disease.
” Geezn You keep crying and haven't eaten for days”
People were sympathetic to Gaius who was wearing black and kept crying while shouting Ellenia's name. The gaze of a golden-eyed strong knight full of tenderness who fell in sorrow because love won the hearts of the people.
However, things got a little strange after the funeral ended
“As the only adult in the royal family I will protect the kingdom”
When the funeral ended, Gaius himself ascended the throne because his children were young. The position was only temporary and at that time no one was suspicious because there was indeed no other choice until the heir to the kingdom actually grew up.
Afterwards Gaius recovered quickly from his suffering and built an empire. Subsequently He built his own royal palace and occupied an important position.7 years later when the King's main office was filled only by his aides He took a surprising step
“King's side seat cannot be empty”
The concubines.
The Samara Kingdom basically enforced monogamy, But only the King may have concubines as with the advantage of relations with other kingdoms through marriage as a form of political negotiation.However a temporary King who is not even royal descent is not related to this rule at all. Who would have thought that the husband of the late princess would ascend the throne and even bring another woman with him?
But Gaius is different. He did not care about the resistance of the ministers and brought 5 concubines at once.With pride Gaius even brought them to the palace and lavished them with gold, luxurious dresses, and jewelry.
“How can a person who is not of royal descent have a concubine?”
“How can the concubines he brought be considered royal families?”
