Britannia Kingdom's Royal palace
--------------------------------------------------------------
Princess Elina is sitting on her balcony. Beside him is a small table, cluttered with an array of books, so 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 so 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.
Ami politely replied seeing the princess looking at her. She stepped forward, bowing slightly, "I apologize, Princess. I tried to keep him at the academy, but he insisted on seeing you."
Elina's gaze softened as she looked at her brother. "Oriento, you shouldn't skip class. You need to focus on your studies."
"Ah! Big Sis, don't worry. I'm the top student in my class!" he proclaid proudly, a childlike blend of innocence and ambition.
But his expression quickly shifted to one of concern. "But big sis, I heard you don't want to marry big brother Strom." His innocent eyes searched hers, filled with worry.
Elina felt a pang in her heart at his words. Because it's true that she was not completely agreeable to this marriage. But still, she looked at her brother and said with a reassuring smile, but it never quite reached her eyes, "Eh, Oriento, I look like this because I haven't slept properly. So my face seems Don't worry"
"Hmmm... of course it will," he replied, though his expression remained sceptical. "Big bro Strom is very intelligent. The swordsmanship he taught is great! Even after he graduated from the Academy a few years ago, his popularity hasn't faded. He's so aweso! I'm really happy that you're going to marry him."
Elina also tries to smile involuntarily at her brother's expression. She felt a flicker of warmth at her brother's enthusiasm. "Of course, Oriento. But you should return to the academy now. Once I'm married, I'll have to leave the palace, and you'll be responsible for everything here. You are the future ruler of this country, and you must be strong."
"Of course, sis. I will be very strong," he replied, his youthful determination shining through. But then he hesitated, his brow furrowing in concern. "Um... Big sis... if you get married, can't I see you again?" His voice trembled slightly, the innocence of childhood.
Elina's heart ached at his question. She leaned down, enveloping him in a warm embrace, her voice soft and soothing. "Oriento, I will always be by your side. You can co and see whenever you want. Nothing will change that."
"Ya! You are the best Big sis! I love you so much!" he exclaid, his face lighting up with joy as he hugged her tightly.

Bernard Empire

Capital City: Rafa
______________________
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, flas 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 sa as a small flathrower?"
Another Officer said, "Yes, it is not as strong as the flathrower 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. anwhile, Sam introduced so peculiar products to the Bernard official, showcasing the unique craftsmanship of their holand.
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 asure 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 ti. They had enjoyed clean living conditions, nourishing als, 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.
