75 The gift to the King

Rogen was now summoned back to the Palace, to have his final meeting with the higher-ups of the kingdom. The nobles and Rogen will be discussing what actions they will take about this proposed alliance with the county of Dariel.

Rogen was facing all the higher-ups, all of them had serious faces. King Danilo who is watching everything started to speak, " Ok, we may now begin the meeting, between the representative If Dariel and the higher ranking nobles of Visusta Kingdom. "

Rafael started to speak, " After trying the wonderful products you have brought here, Sir Rogen. We the higher-ups have decided to proceed with the cultural exchange, that will be presented to the nobles and the royal family, of your country. "

Rogen spoke, " Thank you for your decision, I will be sure that our country, would definitely be in great help with each other. I also would like to let you know that our ruler has been very with this kingdom treating us. So our ruler would like to give the king Danilo a present. "

King Danilo was surprised by this, so he immediately asks, " Is your king her with you, sir Rogen. I would very much like to meet him personally. "

Rogen replied to King Danilo, " Sorry, but he is not here, I only sent my situation here through messages. But I immediately receive his response even though he is very far away. "

King Danilo then spoke, " Your king sir Rogen, already surprised me so I am hoping to meet him personally. But I want to tell him my thanks for the gift. "

One of the nobles asks Rogen, " Sir Rogen, can you tell us about what your king gifted to our, great king Danilo. "

Rogen spoke to the noble, " Sure, Our ruler has gifted king Danilo with two tonnes of pepper, two tonnes of sugar, and two tonnes of chili pepper. He also gifted king Danilo one of our finest gold wristwatches, which I am hiding in my pocket. "

The nobles did not get what Rogen was talking about. They did not know what a wristwatch was, because of this all of the nobles were intrigued.

Rogen walks towards King Danilo, he then pulls something out of his pocket. The box was beautifully designed, there was a ribbon tied to it. A card was also attached to the ribbon, king Danilo took the box where he saw the card. He looks carefully at the card and noticed letters with the same proportion and design, and were very identical. Danilo immediately reads the card quietly.

King Danilo smiles and looks at Rogen and spoke, " Well, I am sure your king really takes good care of you. Giving me a gift because of how I treated you. "

King Danilo opens the box and was surprised. He saw the smallest clock he ever saw. He looks carefully at it, he notices the small writing and an emblem, which made it even look luxurious. The nobles were also surprised when King Danilo pulled out the wristwatch, all of them started to become noisy as they started to comment on the unusual gift.

One noble said, " How dare they gift a king, such a small gift, it's not even made by a famous craftsman. "

One noble suddenly commented, " Don't judge that thing easily, look carefully at it. Don't you think it's kinda weird? I thought it was a bracelet at first glance, but now I looked closely it looked like a miniature watch. "

The first noble who commented spoke, " Impossible, no one can make a watch that small, we all know how big the pieces of a clock. "

Rogen told Danilo to strap the wristwatch on his wrist. Eric who saw the wristwatch was kinda jealous of his father. But he just ignored it, as it was a gift for his father, and would definitely help him with his plans.

Danilo was very happy with his gift, he immediately asks Rogen, " How are you able to create something useful us this. I could only imagine this wristwatch would surely increase the productivity of my people. Most of them only rely upon the position of the sun, to tell time. Your country sure is full of surprises, Sir Rogen. "

After a few minutes of the meeting, continued now they started talking about the cultural exchange.

The merchant noble spoke, " Sir Rogen, after confirming the capabilities of your military to protect the nobles. We have finally agreed on who will be sent to the country of Dariel. "

" The nobles who have volunteered and chosen are, Duke Rafael, Duchess Lyra, Marquess Lucius, Marquess Castel, and me. We one of the five high-ranking nobles will be going to your country, where we will also present our own cultural exchange event. Prince Eric will also be joining us, so there will be a total of six. But we will be also bringing slaves with us to help with the manual labor. The king has also prepared four ships, and two warships of the royal family as escorts, we are also expecting to receive escorts from your country. "

Rogen then spoke, " Well, I will tell you the truth, actually our ruler has already prepared a ship for us to travel. He sent that ship to decrease our time with traveling. If we do use the ships prepared by the king it might take a week or five days, before we reach Dariel. But if we will use our ships it will take only two days of travel. Also, that ship has a destroyer escort increasing our safety when traveling. "

Veiran stood up and shouted, " Fool! how dare you mock the fleet of the royal family, of this country, don't you know that our ships us one of the best. It has been tested for many years fighting those sea monsters before. I can't believe that you also told a lie, in broad daylight, and in front of the king. No ship can travel that fast, as the wind and water current can't be predicted when traveling."

Rogen sighed and spoke, " Whi said we would travel with boats, using sails. If you do not believe me then see it for yourself, when we leave at the port of Ernan. I'm sure king Danilo would also be there to see off his people. "

Veiran spoke, " Very well, I am sure that you will just embarrass yourself in front of the king. Can't wait to see it myself, and laugh at your embarrassment. I would prepare my best-kept wine while looking at your pitiful ships, in the port."

Eric suddenly spoke, " Enough!, Rogen we will be leaving after a week of preparation. Just make sure the ship to be ready before the departure."
