Rise of the Legendary Emperor
Chapter 92: Teleporter Array
Joel's mind went blank for a moment hearing princess Darlene's outrageous request not to mention shameless. On the throne, Warren nearly fell down when the princess said the 'pretend to be my lover ' part.
Even though he only met Don a couple of times, he vaguely had some ideas about Don's personality. In Warren's mind, Don was like a fire, one does not want to be too close or too far from it.
Don was not someone that Warren would call a warm person, in fact in Warren's mind Don was a cold, ruthless youth who was definitely not a friendly person. However the princess Darlene was now asking that cold guy to be her lover, it was not going to end well for her or he thought.
"Mister Joel, I know you might think this is weird or even unreasonable of me to ask such thing but believe me I would have asked this if I have any other ways"
Joel was quietly listening to the princess Darlene as he was concerned and scared or both in the inside. At first, when Joel heard that the princess had flown the kingdom and seeking Don's help, he thought the Korrinth kingdom was invaded or the princess needed any military support from Emir or Everlight.
However, he never imagined the princess would ask Don to be her lover for two months so she could get into the Cold Moon Palace and rebel against her father.
After staying silent for moments,
"Princess Darlene, honestly I initially thought you need some military support or something related, not this. I cannot make a decision in this matter behalf of his highness"
Princess Darlene let out a short laugh
"I understand Mister Joel, I understand" Princess Darlene's attitude seemed like she was demanding not asking but it was not Joel's place to say or do anything rash before informing Don.
Joel didn't know whether Don was listening through the Khal or not and before leaving Joel had one thing to ask the princess
"Princess Darlene, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Why did you choose his highness Don, you could have easily chosen anyone including other princes to do this?"
Instead of princess Darlene, it was uncle Steve who answered Joel's question
"Because his highness King Harold, Princess Darlene's father knew every king and prince in the whole Moon Empire"
"Except King Don," Joel said as uncle Steve nodded "exactly"
This whole conversation was so weird and shocking to Joel that made him want to go to Don and tell Darlene's request and be done with it,he couldn't think clearly or had anything else running in his mind.
Since Joel could not make any decisions by himself, the only thing he could do was return to Everlight and convey this weird request to Don.
Signing heavily Joel stood up from his seat as did the princess and uncle Steve "I will convey your request to his highness Don, Princess Darlene"
"Wonderful" princess Darlene clapped her hand and laughed while Joel bowed towards her and Warren before making his way towards the exit.
Warren knew Joel would not have any appetite after hearing princess Darlene's request so he didn't stop him
"Ask him to make a decision quickly Mister Joel, sooner or later my father is going to find out that I'm here"
Joel stopped walking and turned to see where's she going with this, as the princess continued
"At that time the entire force of Korrinth will be at Emir's door, we don't want that do we?"
Although the princess said everything with calm and with a smile on her face, it sounded like a threat to Joel. Besides the princess, even uncle Steve had a difficult smile on his face unlike Warren who was completely shocked and stood stiff behind the princess looking at Joel
"I'll see you soon, Princess" Joel bowed again and walked hurriedly without even looking back as Glacia did a small curtsy and followed Joel.
"Princess, do you think he will agree?"
After seeing Joel and Glacia's carriage disappear, uncle Steve came close to the princess and asked her silently
"I���m a damsel in distress uncle, who wouldn't want to be a knight in shining armor?"
**********************************
"That's a typical princess slash young miss for you" Knight scowled after hearing everything from Joel.
Standing behind Don, Arrora was drinking Amaryll's homemade remedy for a hangover which was made by the goblins since Amaryll couldn't even get up from her bed due to hangover let alone making this drink.
Don had seen enough arrogant young misses and princesses for a lifetime when he was in the divine continent and it seemed like princess Darlene was not an exception.
After reciting everything that happened in Emir with princess Darlene, Joel expected that Don would get angrier or at least show some kind of emotions but seeing Don listened to him sitting on his throne without uttering a word, he was a little disappointed.
"She thinks we are easy to bully cause she has never heard of us" Unlike Don, Knight was furious and kept growling.
"So tell me Joel, what did she offer in return?" Don finally opened his mouth and asked Joel.
But the moment Don asked, Arrora almost spat out the drink she was gulping
"Your highness, are you really considering helping her?" Joel frowned
"Why not?"
Joel kept opening and closing his mouth several times before forming words "Forgive me Your highness, I didn't ask what she's offering us in return "
Joel wanted to kneel down but just as he leaned over, he was stopped by Don
"You bastard! are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Knight asked Don as an evil grin emerged on his face and seeing Knight, Arrora realized he's forming another sinister plan in his mind.
"You look like a villain with that smile Knight" Arrora reminded Knight
"Oh shut up drunky girl" Knight mocked Arrora pointing at her hangover remedy glass in her hands.
Joel had no idea what was going on and he stared at the three of them as his head tilted to one side,
"I think it's time I introduce myself to the princess Darlene" Don stood up from his throne and gently tapped his chest a couple of times before stepping down on the stairs.
"Are you going like that Don?" hearing Knight's voice from behind Don checked himself top to bottom and he couldn't find anything wrong with what he's currently wearing.
"You need new clothes brother especially if you are going to act as the princess's lover"
"He's got a point Don, you kinda always wear black clothes" Arrora agreed with Knight and looked at Don's black armor from top to bottom including Joel as they were seeing it the first time
"Alright I'll go to that store in Virnam " stuck between Knight and Arrora's stare at his clothes Don couldn't do anything but agree with these two beside they were right he did need new clothes other than his countless same black robes in his space ring. Don still remembered the store called Luther and Granner in Virnam he went to buy clothes with uncle Dior.
While talking about Don��s attire, Benedict and Ken entered the throne room. Judging by Benedict's strange walking style it was certain that he too was still affected by the hangover caused by the Steel Chick's ale.
"Your highness, I'm teleporter to here talk"
Everyone in the throne hall just stared at Benedict when they heard Benedict blabber as he took a moment to himself before speaking again
"Your highness,I'm here to talk about the teleporter array"
"Go on"
"The array is in its last leg, your highness. We need materials to fix it as soon as possible, even though it'll be just temporary until we find a runemaster to fix it permanently"
The teleporter array had always been a headache as it was helpful to Don.
It was time he fixed the teleporter array or he knew that this would constantly bother him and hinder his plans. However, finding a runemaster to the level that he or she could fix an ancient array like this would not be a simple matter yet Don decided he's going to fix the array this time.
"Just do what you can, I will find a runemaster this time"
Nodding his head Benedict continued
"The materials we need are can only be found in the capital, your highness.if you want I can make a visit and buy the materials"
It was not surprising that Benedict was excited to return to the capital after a long time but Don needed to make sure he stays and return to Everlight as safe as he leaves
"Take Gael with you, he can keep you safe while you stay there and remember do not talk about bound energy " Benedict nodded his head after hearing Don's firm voice that showed he was not playing around, even after the hangover Benedict would not forget and keep his mouth shut.
"Your highness, Benedict said the thousand arm house would probably have the required materials to mass produce the device" Ken informed Don.
The production of armors, construction works were slowly slowed down since the resources left behind by the dragon king had almost finished in the treasury. However, the good news was unlike the runemaster and Ken's materials for mass producing the device, the materials needed for armor production and construction works were common and could be found in any corner of the outside world.
"Cat" Don called out and in mere seconds the little girl's projection appeared before Don
"Cat how much metal and lumber we have in the treasury? "
"We are almost out of both of them brother, especially the various metals. Stodemar always keeps complaining about this issue"
Since Catalie spends most of her time overseeing the construction works and production works, she knew about what they want more than Don or Knight.
"Alright, tell Stodemar to buy everything he wants, Amaryll and you can deal with the prices and coins"
"What about the transportation brother? Stodemar doesn't have a space ring and after buying the metals and lumber how do we bring them here considering the condition of our teleportation array ?"
This problem with teleportation array was becoming major pain in the rear for Don
"Don't worry it can still make a few teleportations" Benedict reassured Don
"Good, let others use the teleportation array and I can fly to Virnam"
