Chapter 332 An Advanced Kingdom
A year and a half have passed, and I am now sixteen, almost seventeen. And well, curiosity finally took over, and us three girls have stepped over the bounds that were holding us back and have explored other options besides kissing. Legally in this world, I was already an adult at fifteen and could have been married and been with a baby before even the age of sixteen, but for something like that, I was going to wait. While I have been spending much of my time during this trip with Sophie and Adel, I did not forget about Iena and Diablo. Our relationship was slowly progressing. Now those two would spend a night with me. Iena one day and Diablo the next. Of course, we are not at the same stage as Adel and Sophie, so it is not as intimate.
But our feelings are slowly fostering. While my time with the girls was soft and fluffy. Sleeping in Diablo’s strong arms was not so bad, either. If this was Earth, I would have been called all kinds of names by now, but my parents are all for it, and Sophie and Adel do not mind either. So I guess as long as everyone was happy, it would be fine.
I did feel bad, though, because I needed Diablo and Iena in the capital just in case anything happened while I was away that I could not spend as much time with them as I could with Adel and Sophie. But they told me that they were just happy they could spend at least one day with me each. I did make sure to talk with them every night for a few hours.
Both girls were also taking classes on the ship, so they were not missing any academy time. As for Adel’s Crown Princess training, it was being done the same way as her classes. Teleports were quite handy when needing to send over completed assignments and other things.
Currently, though, I was looking out over the railing of the main deck at the city in front of me. It was much more than I had ever expected. It looked more advanced than any of the other cities I have ever been to. “This kingdom is?”
“It is the Droth Kingdom and is a human kingdom, but they are much different than the other kingdom we went to as they do not allow slavery. So you should have an easier time here.” Thurul answered.
“This kingdom is also much bigger. But I do not think they are using that energy at all. I do not detect it within the kingdom except for the mountain range where it should be located. It is as if the kingdom does not know about the energy source.” I had already sent out my detection magic, and it seemed only the magic technology of this kingdom was on a different scale. They even had a few things that I was planning on making, like flying carriages. However, this will now change for something much more advanced when I am done.
“Mmm…. I never thought such a kingdom would exist either, but they are closed off from the world. I only know its name. Unless you owned an airship, you would never be able to make it here.” Thurul stroked his beard as he looked at the massive city.
“Looks like we got company. Thurul, stop the ship and get ready for anything.” I said as I watched as a few flying carriages made their way to us. These ones were much different and had weapons of some kind attached to them, but I could tell these two were magic based weapons.
The carriages stopped in front of my airship. The lead carriage had a door open, and a seat slowly slid out with a man sitting in it with a long stick like weapon pointing at me. I guess it was some kind of magic gun or maybe something else. I am not sure I can only guess unless I could hold one in my hands.
“The airspace over the King of Droth is forbidden without a permit. You will need to land and travel by foot if you wish to travel in our lands if you do not have one.” The knight, I guess you could call him, said. He did not ask who we were but only told us to land, which was a bit of a no no as we were still a few months away from the capital by foot.
I took out my envoy seal and said: “I am Princess Cyrilia. I am a special envoy of the Kingdom of Gravos. I am here to meet with you, king.”
Seeing the seal in my hand made the knight wrinkle his brow. He then took something off his side and spoke into it. Another thing I had planned to create! But still, mine will be much better! Although I guess I already had something like that now. However, I did plan to make a cell phone with apps on it!
After speaking to whoever was on the other line for a moment, the knight waved his hand, and the flying carriages that had come with him surrounded the airship. “We will escort you to the capital. We will need you to dock your airship at our dock. From there, you will be escorted to the castle.”
“Then I will be in your care,” I said as I gave a slight curtsey. The knight nodded before sliding his chair back into his carriage. I had to say these people were at least more friendly. Of course, this did not mean I could lower my guard. It was always smart to be prepared for anything. If I could just get the kingdom to give me the mountain range, then I would take it without annexing this kingdom. I do not wish to cause harm to good people.
On the surface, this is a kingdom flourishing without any discrimination, so I hope it would be better to work together and make formal ties to this kingdom and gain some land for ourselves. “Thurul, what do you think? Can we do this peacefully?”
“I am not sure. With two princesses from our kingdom, it should be fine, no? But whether they will give up the land is another question. As soon as you ask them about it, they will probably investigate it.” Thurul’s answer made me frown a bit. I also thought of this, but what can I do? Well, if they say no, I can make them say yes, so it’s no big deal, but I did not wish to be too forceful just yet.
