88 I Had The Last Laugh (1/2)

0800 the nobles we're on the port waiting for the ship they will board, all of them were having a conversation.

Marquis Castel, \”I am not really fond of ships, 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.\”

Duchess Lyra, \”Don't be such a baby Castel, you know how important ships 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 ship are the ones infecting the sailors with these diseases.\”

\”So Marquis Castel's dislikes of ships is understandable, I too don't like ships, 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 ships of Dariel are crappy, 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 Noble Merchant, \” I think those might not be just floating structures, look closely at those things, they are very identical to ships.\”

A familiar voice suddenly spoke behind the nobles.

\”Good Morning to all of you.\”

The nobles 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 embarrassment 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 embarrassed yourself.\”

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

Duchess 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 ship we will be boarding.\”

Duke Rafael, \”Yeah! Sir Rogen, we are still uneasy about riding a ship, so if you would please show us the ship we will be riding to reduce our uneasiness.\”

\”No need to be worried about the ships we will be boarding. I will guarantee you that it will be one of your most unforgettable experience with ships.\”

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 ships. \”

Prince Eric, \”It's only natural for me to say that as I have been in one of their ships. But I will not spoil you about the amazing experience riding the ship 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 assigned 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.\”
