90 Arrival

It was 0200 hours the ship was already approaching the fog that is covering the kingdom of Dariel from the eyes of other countries. The nobles were still in a deep sleep in their rooms.

As the ships pass the dangerous fog where thunder can easily strike ships. 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 ship 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 class, Arleigh Burke-class, and Atago class.

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 ship 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 nobles were already awake and started to prepare themselves for the morning. 0600 the nobles were already prepared and went straight to the dining hall where their breakfast was already served.

While eating the nobles 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 ship we are currently in. Even the Visusta Empire cant build this kind of ship. "

Duke Rafael, " This ship 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 ships 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."

Duchess 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 nobles.

We are already near our destination so if you go to the deck of the ship you could finally see the magnificent sight of our kingdom.

The nobles 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 nobles.

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 nobles also followed him to the bridge.

As they arrived at the deck the nobles were speechless of what they saw. Structures that almost touched the sky, ships 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 nobles thought it was a new type of dragon that might attack them. Having no experience with facing a real dragon the nobles immediately went inside the ship and hid.

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

After the nobles 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 nobles.

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 noble merchant who has been quiet all this time since they step foot the ship finally spoke.

Noble 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 noble merchant a hint on where to start his study on the various business industries of the Kingdom.

Rogen knew that the noble 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 ships finally docked, the nobles immediately got off the ship. 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.

Duchess 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."
