Chapter 7

(Inside the meeting room on the carrier)

"Hmm, mhmm, ahhhh"

"Uhhh your highness, what are you doing"

"I'm relieving myself of this seat, it's really comfy you know."

"....."

This person whose 'relieving' himself is the King of Marsus Kingdom. King Braum Voltar. With him is Grand Mage Marx and on the opposite side of the meeting room, was Diplomat Alfon

"Do you like it?" Asked Alfon

"Oh yes, I wish I had a seat like this back in my castle. The royal throne sometimes is really stiff you know." Said the King.

"I assume that only high class people in your country can obtain a seat like this no?"

"Not exactly, in our country even the common people can afford it." (Alfon)

The king hearing the word common people then looked at Alfon and said " By common people do you mean commoners?"

"No, common people is not commoners. In our country the issue of such systems are non-existent." Replied Alfon.

The king then went silent.

........

(The King's thoughts on the recent discussed topic)

"Hmm, no commoners. Why would that be?"

The king immersed in his own thoughts kept thinking about such things. Exponentially what caught his interest more was the words  "the issue of such systems are non-existent."

The king pondered on this words for a bit. While pondering the people they were waiting for finally came in.

......

"Good afternoon everyone, I am Rodel, the one beside me is Jose. We are members of the ministry of affairs."

The newcomers introduced themselves to the King and Marx. The king was also going to introduce himself but was stopped by Rodel, he said that it was no need because he already knew who he was since he was informed by Alfon.

With that the negotiations began.

.....

8:30 pm on the first day on diplomatic negotiations eventually it was also finished at the same day.

The talks were long but this was it's contents.

• First, the country Philippines would like to receive exported food from the Marsus kingdom, of course the food would also be paid by the country. But not in monetary value but in industrial technologies.

• Second, a port is to be built at the coast, east of the Trade city Ashton. This was to make sure that the exported food is properly inspected as well as the imported technologies.

• Third, the port must be kept a secret in the Tridom Republic.

This was the overall negotiated talks during the said time. What made it long was the importing of industrial technologies.

The King went on and tried to negotiate if weapons can be imported. This became the king's resolution right after seeing a video about the country.

However, it was rejected again and again but the King went and tried to negotiate continuously about it.

What made it even longer was the ruckus Marx did. Right after seeing a video about the country, he shouted and said "Let me in your country. I want to know all of this!!!!!"

That was all of its context.

....

"Haaaaaa, that was tiring." (Alfon)

"Get used to it kid, cause I'm pretty sure that it would just get more tiring in the future." (Rodel)

Alfon hearing that, just frowned.

"I want to be a politician!!"

These were the words Alfon once said to his father. Remembering this moments gave him a little smirk.

Rodel noticing this just gave relaxing sigh and said "Remembering your old man?"

" I suppose so, it was the good old days." Alfon then looked at the night sky. With a smile he said "He would be happy to see such a night sky along with his son."

Rodel looked at the night sky with two moons, shining brightly. Then said, "Yeah, he'd be happy to see such a beautiful sky with his son"

....

"Hmmm, mmhmm"

(Author note: I'm sorry but dialogue up there means trying to figure something out, just can't get the words expression whatever you wanna call it.)

"Illa could you put that down now, they said we could have dinner in front of the command deck."

"Mother please wait, if I could just understand this..."

One young girl (in her teens), and one 25-ish woman, talking leisurely and having tea that they have never tasted before but undeniably loved it, is the Queen and the Princess of the Marsus kingdom. Queen Alcy Voltar and Princess Illa Voltar.

(Author note: yeah I know. The 'ish' thing yea.)

"Haaaaa, ever since she got here. She kept asking and annoying the people on the ship. Eventually they gave her this book that stopped her from asking them. I can't believe I agreed to let her borrow it. Now I can't seem to get her to move!" thought the Queen.

While the Queen is thinking on how to get Illa to move, a knock on the door was then heard.

Queen Alcy then said "come in."

The door opened and a young woman in an beautiful eastern dress suit came in. "Good evening esteemed guests. It is time for the formal dinner. May you allow us to help you prepare?" Although the woman's voice is respectable, there was a little hesitation in it. Probably because the young woman didn't know how to call the guests.

The Queen smiled, but she and agreed. But she wondered what 'us' meant, so she asked.
"By 'us', what do you mean?"

The young woman then signaled outside the door. A few moments later, people came in with suits and dresses, totally for a formal dinner style. The dresses also caught the attention of the princess.

Then a few soft and sweet laughter's were heard inside the room.

.....

The king and Marx, in their allocated room. Are having their own talk. But this talk is different from kingdom affairs or research.

"Ooohh, this clothing they gave me is very smooth and soft to the skin. It's unlike the Royal clothing, always has does rough edges." (King Braum)

"Your highness, aren't you enjoying yourself." (Marx)

"Heeeeh, why the jealous tone Marx, aren't you enjoying yourself as well." (King Braum)

Marx at this moment looks... different. Marx now, instead of wearing his Grand Mage robe is now wearing a beautiful well-groomed western suit. But that isn't what caught the attention of the king when he said 'enjoying yourself' to Marx.

What caught it was that Marx....... no longer has his long white beard. But instead has now a sharp beard cut and a clean sharp cut on his hair. His sharp chin was unnoticeable due to his beard, but now that it was groomed and 'fashioned'. Marx actually has such handsome features.

Marx smiled and said "Hahaha, I suppose I can't complain about how better your clothing is to mine if I had a better look than you your highness."

The King, irritated by that comment, had a little vein. But decided to let it go, it was immature to get angry at an old man anyway.

The King then looked at himself at the mirror. Seeing himself wearing a donning black business suit with a white rose at the left pocket.

Seeing such magnificent clothing that even the kingdom didn't have, made him a little envious at the country Philippines, it also calmed him down from Marx playful tone at least. His suit does look better than Marx anyway.

While Marx and the King are checking on their selves, a knock on the door was then heard.

Marx said come in, then Alfon came in and said "It appears you are done changing. So, how are the suits?"

The King replied "This clothing is amazing! I just wonder what thread your country used to make it."

"Hahaha, I'll tell you later, we can talk about it at the dining area." (Alfon)

"Lead the way then." (King Braum)

"Very well, follow me." (Alfon)
