Marquis Castel, "I am not really fond of s.h.i.+ps, they are dark and filled with rats. They're not even comfortable to sleep in, even we are only riding it for only one day, I still don't like it."

d.u.c.h.ess Lyra, "Don't be such a baby Castel, you know how important s.h.i.+ps are in trade and military. Even they are not the best rides they are beneficial for a country. "

Duke Rafael, "I agree with you Lyra, but the Marquis is right, I still remember the study of the Visusta Empire that stated, communicable diseases are brought by sailors who visit new places. The study also stated that rats that infest the s.h.i.+p are the ones infecting the sailors with these diseases."

"So Marquis Castel's dislikes of s.h.i.+ps is understandable, I too don't like s.h.i.+ps, because of the diseases we might hopefully not get."

Veiran, "I think you should definitely be prepared to hire someone who could cure you, I am definitely sure that the s.h.i.+ps of Dariel are c.r.a.ppy, and infested with rats."

Marquis Lucius, "I've been wondering about those giant fortresses in the water, are they just newly made. I don't remember seeing those things before here. "

Duke Rafael, " Now that you mention it, those weren't here the last time I visited this town. I only noticed those things yesterday when I arrived."

Duke Lyra, "But with that size that is almost impossible to float in the water. If I remember correctly, that part is quite deep. The question is if those things really are structures then how would they be able to build it there."

The n.o.ble Merchant, " I think those might not be just floating structures, look closely at those things, they are very identical to s.h.i.+ps."

A familiar voice suddenly spoke behind the n.o.bles.

"Good Morning to all of you."

The n.o.bles turned around to see who it was.

Marquis Rafael, "Oh! Sir Rogen, we were waiting for your arrival."

Veiran, "Oh, I thought you had already run away from the embarra.s.sment that will hit you when the king arrives."

Rogen, "Well, we will see the results later, I am also quite interested in the king's reaction when he sees more of my country's prowess in engineering and technology."

Veiran, "You are quite confident aren't you, we'll that does not matter when the king arrives. Your ignorance will be your biggest mistake, Sir Rogen. I have even brought one of my most luxurious wines to celebrate the moment when you embarra.s.sed yourself."

Rogen was about reply to Veiran but was stopped by d.u.c.h.ess Lyra. The two stop arguing, when Lyra saw that the two has calmed down she immediately asks Rogen.

d.u.c.h.ess Lyra, "Rogen, I know that we are waiting for the king to arrive to say his goodbyes to all of us, but please tell us where is the s.h.i.+p we will be boarding."

Duke Rafael, "Yeah! Sir Rogen, we are still uneasy about riding a s.h.i.+p, so if you would please show us the s.h.i.+p we will be riding to reduce our uneasiness."

"No need to be worried about the s.h.i.+ps we will be boarding. I will guarantee you that it will be one of your most unforgettable experience with s.h.i.+ps."

Marquis Castel, "Well, it is surprising for you to say that Prince Eric. I never thought that a prince would be impressed with another country's s.h.i.+ps. "

Prince Eric, "It's only natural for me to say that as I have been in one of their s.h.i.+ps. But I will not spoil you about the amazing experience riding the s.h.i.+p of Rogen's country."

Meanwhile.....

The guards at the town of Ernan were surprised to see a number of the royal knights, which directly serves under the King. They were also surprised to also see the royal carriage used by the king. The guards immediately sent someone to inform Lord Evan about the king's arrival.

As lord Evan was about to leave his mansion to go for his daily inspection of the town, he was stopped by a guard who was a.s.signed to the gate.

The guard reported everything to Lord Evan, after hearing the report Lord Evan immediately mounted on his steed and went to the gate to meet the king.

Lord Evan arrived at the gate when king Danilo's convoy was about to enter. Lord Evan unmounts from his steed, he patiently waited for King Danilo's carriage to enter.

King Danilo was looking at the windows of his luxurious carriage, as the carriage moved forward he saw Lord Evan standing. After seeing Evan he immediately ordered to stop, he then opened the door of his carriage and spoke to Evan.

King Danilo, "Long time no see Lord Evan, I see that you are still in good shape you still look the same as the last time I saw you."

Lord Evan, "This old-timer is definitely not dying that easily, despite my old age I am still able to perform the things I do when I was still in my thirties."

King Danilo started to laugh and spoke, "Well, I think you really are full of yourself, even your self-confidence is still the same as I remembered. Now join me in this carriage it is quite boring riding all by myself."

Lord Evan got in the carriage after King Danilo invited him to ride with him. The convoy went to the port where the n.o.bles were waiting for the s.h.i.+p.

The n.o.bles noticed the carriage and immediately knew it was the king as they saw the number of knights accompanying the carriage and the flag raised by the carriage.

The king then exited the carriage with Lord Evan, the n.o.bles immediately kneeled when King Danilo got off the carriage while d.u.c.h.ess Lyra did a curtsy. King Danilo then spoke, "Rise".

The n.o.bles immediately stood up from kneeling, while Rogen just stood up and watched.

The king then spoke, " To all of you leaving this country, I am praying for your safety. I hope this cultural exchange will provide good results for both the kingdoms of Sirius and Dariel. If Dariel and Sirius do become allies I hope that we will be helping each other hand in hand to improve. The new possibilities for our countries might be coming soon. "

"For you going to Dariel please do respect the country you are going to, remember that you are not in Sirius anymore so please do be careful with your actions, but if not then just respect the rules of the country it might save you from embarra.s.sing our country. Look at sir Rogen he was not careful here but respected the rules of our country he is now one of the most popular people in our kingdom. "

"Now the last thing I want you to do is to do your best to this cultural exchange, if there are any negotiations then you already know what you should do. This might be a once a lifetime opportunity so we must do our best."

The n.o.bles replied in unison, "As you wish your majesty."

Rogen, "Now that is over we will be boarding the s.h.i.+ps, but there is one big problem for us."

Veiran, "Just tell the truth that the s.h.i.+ps of your country are c.r.a.ppy, it is better, to tell the truth than to embarra.s.s yourself. But I really don't care anymore, as your embarra.s.sment might make my wine even more delicious."

A nerve appeared on Rogen's forehead after hearing Veiran spoke. Veiran then pulled out a bottle of wine and a gla.s.s from the satchel he then poured the wine in his gla.s.s.

Rogen, "We will be riding these boats to which will bring us to the s.h.i.+p we will be boarding. The problem I was talking about is the low tide, the s.h.i.+p can't be docked because the water isn't deep enough."

The n.o.bles then saw white boats coming near them, the n.o.bles we're surprised that the boat was able to move without any oars. The king who was even watching was also caught off guard the boats.

Veiran, "So they are only boats, without any oars, the Visusta Empire had already done something like that by using wind and water mages. The speed was even faster than these boats."

Rogen smiled after hearing Veiran talked s.h.i.+t about the boats. Rogen then spoke, "If you would excuse me I am going to help the n.o.bles board the boats.

The first boat was immediately full, Duke Rafael took almost two seats of the boat. As the boat was about to leave Rogen suddenly spoke to the n.o.bles.

Rogen, "The things you will be bringing to Dariel has been boarded in the s.h.i.+p, your slaves as well have already boarded the s.h.i.+p."

King Danilo suddenly spoke, "Sir Rogen I was quite intrigued by the s.h.i.+ps of your country. But it is not acceptable to make someone like me to keep waiting."

Veiran, "I guess I have already won this time, I guess it's time to drink the wine I prepared for this occasion. I am going to enjoy this taste of victory.

Rogen smiled and snapped his fingers, the boat that the n.o.bles were riding suddenly accelerated. The n.o.bles were immediately dumbfounded.

The Bismarck and it's two destroyer escorts also started to move after receiving the signal from Rogen.

d.u.c.h.ess Lyra suddenly noticed the giant structures started to move. She immediately shouted what she saw.

Lyra, " The giant structures moved!"

A white s.h.i.+p with an incredible size suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The s.h.i.+p was painted white that it would stand out in the water, the s.h.i.+p looked like it was crafted by angels with its beauty.

The n.o.bles were unable to process everything they saw. It was too much for their common sense that they just kept quiet.

Veiran choked up the wine he drunk, mucus with a hint of the wine he drunk also came out of his nose. His eyeb.a.l.l.s almost popped out after being surprised by the scene unfolding in front of him.

Rogen looked at Veiran and spoke, "Looks like I've won, you should not always celebrate too early, that has always  been the cliche of ignorant fools."

King Danilo, "This is magnificent Sir Rogen, I can't believe you would surprise me with these s.h.i.+ps. I thought those things were just structured built-in water."

Rogen, "Those are actually our wars.h.i.+ps your highness. I am also leaving with your son so, goodbye your highness. I will be back soon enough when we finished everything at Dariel."

Rogen and Prince Eric boarded the last boat. While Veiran was still petrified from the scenes he was unable to process.

Rogen had these thoughts, [ How did the engineering department make those cloaking devices, as well as those camouflage for the s.h.i.+ps. Oh well, I do not care about it, at least I had the last laugh.]
