For the following two days, Lucilia spent the rest of her time inspecting the base.

From her observations, she found out that the base was working for a whole full day!

Do these people even sleep?

Obviously, the concept of the day and night shifts did not exist in this world.

Lucilia then continued her 'inspecting'.

Later on, while looking around, she eventually found out, that she, was lost...

"This place is huge...." She thought.

She was distressed.

Although there are people around the area doing things, she hesitated to ask questions.

Eventually, because she doesn't know them.

And this base is still unknown territory.

If this was the Port of White sand she would know every nook and cranny of it, but this wasn't the Port of White sand.

This was the Naval base Subic bay.

It was very new to her.

Followed by the fact that this place has indomitable power that even the giant beasts yield to it.

So, she hesitated to ask.

.....

Putting these matters aside, she just decided to continue her 'inspection'.

However, the moment she made a turn, she froze.

"Is that who I think it is?"

"Isn't that King Braum of the Marsus kingdom!"

Lucilia was shocked.

That jawline, Dark Brown hair, huge stature, the beard..... Wait there's no beard but the facial featured are still there.

She wanted some confirmation if that was really King Braum, but she hesitated.

However, that hesitation didn't last long when she saw one more person.

"Pri-Prime minister Dukham?!"

Lucilia was then able to confirm that 'He' is really King Braum when the Prime minister said this.

"Your majesty, the gourmet's of this place is amazingly good!"

"It's a country Dukham, not a place. And yes it's really, really good."

Lucilia resolved herself.

With a clear and loud voice, she said,

"Yo-your Majesty!"

The King and the Prime minister stopped in their tracks.

They were shocked.

They didn't expect someone here to use the words 'your majesty'.

When they looked back, they saw Lucilia.

Lucilia was also looking at them sternly.

The atmosphere immediately dampened.

The King went near to Lucilia and said,

"Let's talk somewhere else alright."

.....

*clink* (ice on glass okay)

"Ma-majesty...."

"....."

"Majesty?"

"....."

Currently, The King and Lucilia are at a rest house, drinking ice tea.

Yes, ice tea is really good, it's just that, it's taste really won't be great when someone is under pressure.

Deeply breathing in some air, King Braum spoke.

"So, mind telling me who you are?" (King Braum)

Gulping in some mouthful of saliva, Lucilia spoke in a hearable tone.

"Yo-your majesty, My name is Lucilia Waterea. An explorer." (Lucilia)

The King nodded. Then he asked,

"Now, what are you doing here? How did you get to this country."

In that same hearable voice, she said her story.

.....

It took Lucilia quite a while finishing her story. That's because while she was telling her story, the king was also asking her questions.

After saying her story, the King sighed.

"I see, it's a good thing that you are fine. Now, you said that this country, The Philippines, didn't come from the fog right?"

Lucilia nodded.

"I had that speculation as well, but it seems that it wasn't so."

The king paused for some moments then continued.

"If so, then where did they come from?"

Lucilia lowered her head. She herself doesn't know where this country came from. How could she answer this question then?

"I asked them where they came from as well but, they didn't answer me."

The king sighed.

"Never mind that, we'll get our answer in the future."

Lucilia nodded.

"So now let's just enjoy ourselves."

Grabbing his glass of ice tea, the king signaled for cheers.

Lucilia did so, and they both had given themselves their own enjoyment time.

.....

The rest of the day, Lucilia was with the King and his Ministers. Going around the whole base. There were many things that they didn't expect to see.

Eventually, they met up with Rodel and Jose.

The king introduced Lucilia to Rodel and Jose.

Likewise, Rodel and Jose did the same to Lucilia.

When Lucilia found out that they were diplomats of the Country, her bashfulness was immediately shown.

While saying her greetings she was stuttering, although she knew that she would meet some diplomats soon she didn't expect to meet the diplomats sooner.

"Go-goo-good today sir-sirs...."

Rodel just smiled and did a handshake with her, basically, he didn't care about Jose's opinion.

It's just making more friends in this unknown 'part' of the world right.

Jose just puts his hand on his forehead.

"Haaaa, this aloof old friend of mine."

.....

After meeting up with Rodel and Jose, Rodel sneakily said something to the King.

"Hey, as a king you know what auctioning is right?"

The King became interested, he then replied

"Of course I know about auctions. Why do you ask?"

"Hehe, it's just that there's gonna be an auction this next two days. Wanna come?"

The king smirked at Rodel's offer, within the Republic, he himself is known as a person that often goes to auctions.

Knowing that the Philippines has auctions themselves really got him interested.

And there's one more plus, and that is that he gets to have a glimpse of what items the country sells at their auction.

Yes, knowing your enemies is important, but knowing your allies as well is also important.

After some moments of contemplation, the king replied.

"Looks like I'll have to extend my visit then."

Hearing this Rodel brightly smiled.

"Well said!"

While the King and Rodel did this sneaky chat, that still didn't escape from Jose's ears.

Jose then sighed.

"This bunch, they're giving me more work."

......

The rest of the day was spent on shopping and eating, basically, the King, Lucilia, and the ministers finished the day with bursting stomachs.

They wanted to stop but, the food was just too delicious.

Throughout this whole time, Rodel was just smiling while Jose was grieving.

"My wallet....." Thought Jose.

......

While going back to their respective rest houses, Lucilia went near the King and asked.

"Your majesty, this has been bothering me for some time but if we're about to leave this country, would we be allowed to say anything to the people back at home?"

The King stopped in his tracks and said.

"For the Marsus kingdom, I myself can naturally say this but to you, it would be an obvious no."

After pausing, he continued.

"There will be a meeting tomorrow, I would try to talk with them on this occasion. But if we're going to do that, then you would have to be present."

Lucilia became silent. She isn't good at politics and stuff like that.

So, She was just about to refuse when suddenly, as if a light bulb lit up above her.

"Your majesty, I myself cannot come tomorrow but I'd have a friend that can."

The king gave Lucilia a 'what' look. Seemingly, he slightly didn't understand what Lucilia just said.

"Not you, a friend?"

He was just about to refuse at this, basically because there was no trust at this friend.

However, seeing Lucilia's bright seeming smile made him think once more.

"Alright, I'll be waiting at the same place where we drank ice tea tomorrow."

Lucilia's smile became even more bright when she heard the King agree.

She was so happy that she left hastily.

The king just smirked at this.

"Friend huh. I wonder who that friend of her is."
