The Author's POV.

Marlena stood in front of the Harem. She was getting tired of the Emperor. He didn't pay any attention to her for days. It's always been Ariadne, Ariadne and Ariadne. Just when she was about to go back to her room, she saw prince Edward.

In his hand, was a cage housing two birds. Queen Marlena could not help but admire them.

She walked towards him and stopped. "Greetings, my prince. What a beautiful evening."

He looked up and saw her. Prince Edwards was not expecting any of the women to be outside by this time.

"You startled me " He said.

"Forgive me your highness, I didn't mean to do that" She replied. He looked like the Emperor. They had same features, though Edward was younger. His Spartan shoulders showed a mighty strength. Something she would want to lay on.

"No problem, queen Marlena. I am fine" The prince said, as he headed towards the gardens. "Bit don't do that again."
