As the s.h.i.+ps pa.s.s the dangerous fog where thunder can easily strike s.h.i.+ps. They are greeted by one of the newly commissioned destroyers of the Kingdom of Dariel which is the HMS Daring ( The HMS Daring is one the Royal British Navy's destroyers.)

The captain of the s.h.i.+p spoke to his subordinates, " Looks like kingdom has increased their patrols in our territorial waters."

They met more patrols on the way most of them were just newly commissioned destroyers which are the Horizon cla.s.s, Arleigh Burke-cla.s.s, and Atago cla.s.s.

The Special Forces on the Bismarck were also early awake even it was 2:00 in the morning. It is due to them being nostalgic about their own country. Rogen, on the other hand, was still enjoying his sleep.

Captain Alvarez was breathing some fresh air on the deck of the s.h.i.+p until his relaxation was interrupted by Robert.

Captain what will we do about Lilica when we arrive at the kingdom. I know we already talked about this with Rogen but is it really gonna work?

Alvarez replied, " We could only hope for the best to happen when we arrived at the kingdom. Even I do have some doubts about Lilica being able to enter."

0500 hours the n.o.bles were already awake and started to prepare themselves for the morning. 0600 the n.o.bles were already prepared and went straight to the dining hall where their breakfast was already served.

While eating the n.o.bles were having a chat.

Marquis Lucius, "So we could finally see today if the prince's words were true about this kingdom. I hope that the prince didn't over-exaggerate his views about this kingdom."

Marquis Castel, " Well, I think the prince isn't exaggerating look at the s.h.i.+p we are currently in. Even the Visusta Empire cant build this kind of s.h.i.+p. "

Duke Rafael, " This s.h.i.+p alone is already a proof of how great the technology of Dariel. This is one of my most unforgettable experiences. I hope that our kingdom would have the same s.h.i.+ps as this when the alliance is approved."

Marquis Lucius, " I wouldn't be daydreaming this early if I were you, duke Rafael. Remember they have the upper hand this time, so they will surely try to squeeze us dry in the negotiations."

d.u.c.h.ess Lyra, " I agree on Marquis Lucius on this one duke Rafael, we are not the superpower we used to be in front of this kingdom. To them, we are the ones at the disadvantage side."

Rogen arrived at the dining hall and spoke to the n.o.bles.

We are already near our destination so if you go to the deck of the s.h.i.+p you could finally see the magnificent sight of our kingdom.

The n.o.bles had mixed feelings about them being near the kingdom of Dariel. They know it will be the start of a battle when they step on the land of this new country. They even hope that it will go easy as Rogen impressed king Danilo.

The place was filled with silence until duke Rafael stood up. He then spoke to his fellow n.o.bles.

This is the right time to see if the prince is really telling us the truth about this kingdom.

After his speech duke, Rafael immediately walked out of the dining hall. Seeing this the other n.o.bles also followed him to the bridge.

As they arrived at the deck the n.o.bles were speechless of what they saw. Structures that almost touched the sky, s.h.i.+ps that are bigger than the one they are riding. But the one that engraved in their mind the most was the docked USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier docked.

Suddenly, a giant flying sword flew over them the n.o.bles thought it was a new type of dragon that might attack them. Having no experience with facing a real dragon the n.o.bles immediately went inside the s.h.i.+p and hid.

Rogen seeing this chases after the scared n.o.bles and explained that what they just saw was not a dragon but an aerial vehicle.

After the n.o.bles managed to calm down, they tried to take everything they just saw. Prince Eric also arrived at the deck with a confident smile on his face and spoke these words to the n.o.bles.

So what can you say now, about this extraordinary country that could push the Sirius kingdom to new heights?

Duke Rafael laughed at the prince's words and answered.

Duke Rafael, "Truly magnificent prince I am very impressed by your luck in finding this incredible country. Who would have thought that the kingdom of Sirius has a great future waiting ahead of time and that is all thanks to you, Prince Eric?"

Marquis Lucius suddenly spoke, " Or the kingdom of Sirius will become a dog to this new kingdom. "

Duke Rafael, " You are already this negative about this Lucius even the negotiations haven't started. We still even have to impress them with our own goods. But if you are worried about what we talked earlier don't worry about it, I already kept it in mind."

The n.o.ble merchant who has been quiet all this time since they step foot the s.h.i.+p finally spoke.

n.o.ble merchant, " Looks like I will earn a huge profit from this kingdom. This would also be a great time to study the possible investments in this kingdom."

Hearing this Rogen immediately gave the n.o.ble merchant a hint on where to start his study on the various business industries of the Kingdom.

Rogen knew that the n.o.ble merchant would be the best way for the increased influence of the Dariel kingdom. It may due to a book he read that you could invade a nation without the use of lethal weapons, instead they could invade using culture and products. This tactic saves them money but also earn.

0740 hours the s.h.i.+ps finally docked, the n.o.bles immediately got off the s.h.i.+p. They were still shocked at the things they saw but they are slowly adjusting to it.

Suddenly three limousines arrived to bring them to their hotel. Rogen immediately told to ride them to get in.

d.u.c.h.ess Lyra suddenly, asked Rogen, " What about the slaves we brought and our cargoes. "

Rogen, "Do not worry about that we have already that covered. Also when you arrived at the hotel you will receive a copy of the schedule of the different meetings tomorrow. Also, you will be given an opportunity to explore the city after our meeting tomorrow."
