1661 Heavenly Drive To The Palace!



Timothy was embarrassed, watching his close friends bicker like local champions before their guests. 

Hello? No matter how amazing it is, have you forgotten you are among the group of most renowned people in Soma?

Well, it's not like he could blame them.

Truth be told, he would do the same for a chance to ride on the godly carriages even if he wasn't Monarch. 

Of course, he also felt set up, because he didn't know who to choose and who to leave out. But luckily, Landon's following words silenced his dilemma. 

"Not to worry. All 10 of you can fit in comfortably." 

After all, Landon had designed the vehicle's interior like a luxury sleeper, with 20 sleeping pods bunking each other. 10 to the left and 10 to the right. 

But since they were bunking each, it was just 5 poses on the ground base to the left and 5 to the right. 

Of course, between the 2nd and 3rd capsule sleeping pods on both sides, was a cozy and sizable cozy dining region with a mini fridge in it. 

As for the bathroom, it was at the very back of the vehicle, consisting of a toilet, a shower, a small sink and a mirror for washing one's face or brushing their teeth. 

The bathroom's were also very sizable, giving one the feeling they weren't on the road but at home. And don't get them started with how luxurious the interior designs were. 

Hey!

This vehicle was purposefully made for royals, nobles, or those Landon deemed as esteemed guests. So of course it would be exquisite.

Seeing their anticipation, Landon felt if he did not lead them in now, they might truly stampede their way in. 

But though he wasn't a show off, how can he let this opportunity to entice them to go? 

"This way, please."

With the door opened, Landon, Lucius, and Artemis led them in. And soon, they felt they were walking into a whole new world.

Landon knew this wasn't the time to talk business, so he allowed them to move as they pleased, exploring the vehicle as much as they wanted.

They weren't the first vehicle in their entourage. So all they had to do was follow the first vehicle to the palace. One of Artemis's men was sitting in the lead vehicle, showing the way. 

The other Giants who came with them stayed in other vehicles too.

As for the crowd... of course, they watched in awe as the many lineups of vehicles drove in.

It was truly a spectacle to behold, not just for them but for the entire Capital city. 

Again, some followed the Baymardian vehicles out of the city, to do a last-minute sweep on the enemy camp, lest the Baymardians missed something important.

.

"Are... are we in heaven?" 

"Incredible!... So 3rd prince...This is where you slept these days?" Commander Gordon asked in a daze, feeling the deliciously soft bed against his bottom. 

Oh my Vine God! 

If he slept on such a thing, he was sure his insomnia would vanish in a blink of an eye! 

Damn! 

Now that he got a good taste of what heaven felt like, he couldn't help feeling envious of Artemis who had stayed for so long with these Baymardians. And what was up with how soft the pillows were too?

"Ahhh!" Commander Jackson exclaimed, recoiling his fingers back in shock. 

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Timothy asked in worry. 

"Your majesty... your majesty... look! When I flip this thing up, the magic crystal object lights up like the sun... except it is white!"

WHAT? 

How can that be? 

Everyone rushed in disbelief, with gasping mouths that fell to the floors. They looked at the smiling Lucius and Landon, as well as the proud Artemis, wondering if they were truly seeing what their eyes relayed.

Artemis chuckled, feeling a sense of superiority knowing he saw these objects first.

"Father! Uncles!... This is called a lightbulb, while this is its light switch! Try it... flip it again."

Light bulb? Light switch? Good names! 

Erm... can they be allowed to excessively play with the switch? 

Like children, they stared at Lucius and Landon for approval. 

It was as though if they got rejected, they would cry.

~Flip. Flip. Flip. Flip. 

Their faces were filled with smiles, as they laughed maniacally, everyone rushing to flick the switches. But no. The fin didn't stop there.

Artemis dragged them to the bathroom, showing them the godly toilet, the heavenly sink that squirts water out on its own, and perhaps their favorite, the Fairy mirror that shocked them silly 

 "So I'm this handsome?" Timothy loudly propped himself, noting his friends were only slightly behind him in this department. 

Well, as a Dragon sitting on the throne, how can he not be the most good-looking one here?

Touching his chin, Timothy just couldn't get enough of himself.

You have to know that all mirrors are made from bronze, silver or gold and were well-polished to reflect easier.

The smoother the polished mirror, the clearer the reflection. But no matter how much one polishes, it cannot represent their true skin tones, eyes and features accurately. 

However, this fairy mirror was different. From the hairs on his eyebrows to the heroic marks on his face, Timothy felt it was a must-have item a royal such as himself must get.

Of course, he was most pleased with how his stature looked. Jo's chest was pumped against his clothes, his muscles exquisite, though still holding underneath his attire. 

One look at him, and you can tell that this was a man!

However, his actions were taking too long, causing a few people to poke their heads desperately. And when they too saw their reflections, they almost pushed Timothy away.

They complimented Timothy while cursing at his shamelessness in their hearts. 

"His Majesty is wise." Now get out of the way so some of us can have a look. 

Timothy, having had enough for now, slowly walked out of the bathroom with his hands behind his back, feeling proud of being the first to see it before the others. 

Hmph! 

He saw the fairy mirror before them. Sure enough, being a monarch was great!

Everyone was amazed by the fairy mirror, appreciating its ingenuity. This also made them understand just how powerful this new ally of theirs was. 

As though reading their mind, Artemis rushed to the nearest sleeping capsule, bringing out several Baymardian magazines in Soma in Zohl languages. Well, since the language was practically the same, it made no difference to the group of men who hungrily granted the magazines and pamphlets. 

Now, they all sat in the dining region, hurdled up like school boys skipping classes.

"Hold on! Hold on! So these godly carriages aren't the only ones in this place called Baymard?"

Artemis nodded, showing them the various cars, trains, buses, bicycles, and other locomotives available.

"So-so-so..These Chy-ains can pass underneath the ground as well as above? And you say it's super fast and can carry hundreds of people at once?"

**Because of how they pronounce certain words, the group called Trains... Chyains. Some called it Tryains, while others called Ryains.

Amazing! 

Flip. Flip. Flip. Flip~

Pages turned one after another, as they were amazed by the latest vehicles on sale in Baymard. Pictures of tourist sights also made them gasp, especially seeing how high some building structures could reach.

But how can they do it? 

Everyone knows that if you build a building to a certain height above the ground, it would tumble and fall. 

Yes. They could accept buildings around 10 stories high since one could find such buildings in particular areas. 

But what they couldn't understand was how people could build block buildings over 50 stories high!

Was that even possible? Such a thing should only exist if one wanted to build the designs like a pyramid since a pyramid shape was the most stable building design for such.

Yet, these Baymardains made it possible on rectangular structures, making them shoot to the sky.

Again, they learned about cruise ships and travel boats made of metal that didn't rush or sink. 

Such a thing defied logic, as even they have watched their metal swords sink into water.

It was common sense that the heavier the metal, the quicker it would sink. So why can these people's metal ships float? 

Hold on... could it be the work of fairy magic?

What's next? People flying? Everyone inwardly questioned, not knowing in a few more minutes, their shock would be greater, knowing these people could truly fly.

That shock came after Landon and Luciis opened the little fringe to give them chilled beverages. 

"I'll go! What was that magical box?"

(•□•)

... 

Vrmmmmmm!~

The vehicle drove steadily, not in any rush to reach the palace. But to Timothy and the rest, they felt the journey was all too short. After all, it takes them no less than an hour and a half on horseback when riding fast to leave the City Square in the central zone and reach the city gates. 

If they went slower, it could take up to 2 hours. And this was time calculated without taking into account the distance from their homes to the City square. 

So imagine their shock knowing they only took 47 minutes to get to the palace when the vehicles were not rushing?

Landon chuckled.

"We're here."
