Barta

___________

It's the most populous city in the Britannia Kingdom. Most of the buildings in the city are medieval and Renaissance-style. The capital is divided into four districts. The Royal District, The Commerce District, The Residential District, and The Military District.

Currently the whole capital is being arranged in various ways. You can see people cleaning their houses, some started decorating their houses. Since the engagement ceremony of the princess will be held in a few days. So the capital is being decorated on this occasion. The streets of Barta are adorned with vibrant decorations, floral arrangements, and twinkling lanterns. You can also see people building stalls where they are planning to put their businesses, the town guards and Royal knights have become more vigilant in their patrols to ensure the safety of the people who are gonna attend the celebration.

More carriages were also entering the city; most of them were tourists from neighbouring cities, even foreigners from other countries. Some are also businessmen who are not letting this opportunity slip as they know how much money they could earn.

Britannia Kingdom's Royal palace

--------------------------------------------------------------@@@@

Princess Elina is sitting on her balcony. Beside him is a small table, cluttered with an array of books, some stacked precariously, others opened with pages fluttering in the wind.

There are dark spots in her eyes which indicate that she has not slept properly. As the princess sat idly, a 12-year-old boy ran up to her. He is Oriento Von Britannia. Elina's younger brother. His eyes are blue like the sea, and his hair is white like their father, who died 5 years ago.

"Big sis," Oriento's youthful voice carried a note of genuine worry, "You haven't been sleeping, have you?"

Elina turned to him, "Hmm... Oriento, it's nothing like that. I was just reading some books. But what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the academy right now?" Her voice was gentle, but the weariness seeped through.

Elina looked at the maid standing behind Oriento. Ami is Oriento's personal maid. She manages all the affairs of Oriento.

The nobles brought the highlight of their wares - magic stones reputed to enhance weapons. Duke Gorge demonstrated its use before officials.

With a flourish, Duke Gorge revealed a knife adorned with intricate engravings on its handle. He carefully inserted a vibrant red stone into a small, round socket embedded in the knife's grip. In an instant, the blade ignited, flames licking the air as Duke Gorge wielded it with confidence. With a swift motion, he conjured a fireball, leaving the officials in awe.

One military officer, a burly man with a stern expression, leaned forward, "Was this knife really almost the same as a small flamethrower?"

Another Officer said, "Yes, it is not as strong as the flamethrower we use, but imagine the potential! If we were to scale this up and use a larger weapon with a more powerful stone, the possibilities are endless."

Milana, on the contrary, sat in the corner and talked about precious stones and the jewels that Britannia has. Aqua was also with her, helping her explain what kind of gems and jewels they had. Meanwhile, Sam introduced some peculiar products to the Bernard official, showcasing the unique craftsmanship of their homeland.

After this day, everyone returned to their rooms and rested.

Duke Gorge found it hard to believe that they would be leaving the Bernard Empire tomorrow. Although they traveled to many places here, but it felt like it wasn't enough. He wanted to stay here longer, to explore this entire country better. He wanted to enjoy every food and every convenience of this country. Yet, he reminded himself that if the alliance was successfully forged, he would have the opportunity to return whenever he wished. The thought brought him a measure of comfort as he prepared.

In stark contrast, the slaves brought by the nobles were filled with a profound sense of sorrow. They huddled together, their faces etched with despair as they learned of their imminent departure. For many, the Bernard Empire had been a sanctuary, a place where they had experienced kindness for the first time. They had enjoyed clean living conditions, nourishing meals, and a semblance of dignity that had long been denied to them. The thought of leaving this oasis behind was unbearable, yet they knew they had no choice but to obey their masters. Still, a flicker of hope remained in their hearts—a belief that one day they might return to this haven.

The Port of Athens was now busy again as they prepared for the departure of the nobles and Alberto.

It was crucial for him to demonstrate the Bernard Empire's commitment to this partnership. Additionally, he had received an invitation to Princess Elina's engagement, which would take place on the same day as the signing of the alliance.
