Like that, Artemis and the others were taken into the ship.
After a warm welcome, Landon spoke briefly before taking them to their rooms.
F***!
Artemis cursed loudly for the first time in his life.
As a prince, how dare he curse or speak foul language in public?
He was trained to speak his thoughts more elegantly. But after seeing the scene before him, his mind went blank, and his mouth moved obediently.
There was also someone by his side to explain a few things to him while the door was opened and his baggage was brought in from his ship.
"Your Highness, Artemis. This is called a light switch. For light, flick it upwards. And do the latter to turn it off. You have several light switches scattered around your suite and one by your bedside."
Artemis' mouth was opened as he flicked the switch severally, like a child.
Flip. Flip. Flip~
On, off, on, off, on, off...
Sorry.
Artemis was embarrassed, but the soldier showing him the way only smiled, inwardly chuckling at his reaction.
Hey... They've all been there.
The soldier then took him into the living room/parlor space.
It should be noted that typically, military ships aren't supposed to be luxurious, allowing the navy, marines, and soldiers to sleep on bunk beds as they did in their respective training camps.
In truth, it was so for the many Navy ships.
But there were 4 Navy ships in the entirety of Baymard, which were far bigger than the others, and were meant to transport rescued people in them.
They designed them with cabins like those on cruise ships, with some cabins being ordinary-styled, ranging up to Royal Suites.
There were also A-framed rooms and rooms with 4 beds or more.
Some of the rooms have ocean views with no balconies, while others did have a balcony.
.
Anyway, they built these 4 particular Navy ships to cater for rescued people or important guests traveling with them during missions.
So the Royal Suit Artemis was in, was a true depiction of a solar one on a cruise ship.
F***!
It was a Royal loft suite.
And when one stepped in, they would immediately enter a massive space, with a 10-seat dining table in the far end, a couch region with Tv, and a kitchen several feet away.
There was also a balcony door leading to what looked like a massive outdoor Patio with a jacuzzi and 2 outdoor beach-styled chairs for laying back and relaxing.
If not for the weather soon getting to Fall, there would also be tables and chairs out where one could have dinner or meals if they wanted to eat while taking in the view.
Of course, the dining table was also by a glass window overlooking the seas. But there was a difference between sitting outside on the balcony compared to inside, watching through a window.
There were also light-weight chandeliers high up that dropped downloads like drain drops
Beautiful.
'Was this where he would be staying?'
Artemis felt he might dirty these good-looking things.
They all oozed luxury and comfort.
Stepping in, the soldier showed him around.
"There is a fridge with water, juice boxes, and a few of our favorite Baymardian beverages. There are also ice trays in the freezer. And for alcohol, you'll find that in this drawer."
What?
Artemis has never seen so many glass bottles or glass in his life for that matter.
The bottles stared at him, each looking very enticing. There were also glasses for wine, beer, and many more.
.
"His highness Artemis... This is called a telephone. Ring us using the numbers displayed here, and request whatever you need."
There was a colorful design paper with bold numbers and words on them.
If they need food or anything, just call the 3-digit number. But first, he must add a # before punching the numbers as instructed.
There was also a schedule list, which showed the general just of things like mealtimes, and any other activities he could access.
That's right.
There was a basketball court, a tennis court, a field track around the deck, and a gym. This was the most they were willing to take from the cruise lines and add on this Navy ship.
Well, track fields and Gyms were on all Navy ships, that way everyone could do their runs, as well as train their bodies while out at sea.
In the early mornings, one would see many waking up to run for a mile or so before bathing and starting their shifts.
Another feature that the baby shifts had, which the cruise lines didn't have, was the many training rooms, some strictly for the Baymardians and others for anyone else like those dorm Carona or guests like Artemis.
In the end, there were many ways they could stay fit here. And the hours when guests could access these places were also added to the list.
This way, Artemis would know where to go and what time he could... Especially for mealtimes.
In the kitchen, there were no stoves. Just an electric kettle, microwaves, fridge, glasses, and all the other essentials.
"Right this way, your Highness."
"Ye... Yes... " Artemis was still in a daze while being led upstairs.
Once up, one could stand on the terrace and overlook the parlor and open space below.
The view from here was stunning, but that wasn't the only thing that caught his attention.
What a room!
The bed was surprisingly okay for him.
Yup.
Again, he had to thank the system and insisted that Landon scaled all beds to certain lengths compared to how they were in his former world.
What is king-sized here might be an extra-extra king-size back on Earth.
The beds were always made spacious, as though preparing for Omania's arrival.
Artemis nodded in satisfaction. It was the size of his total bed back in Omania. But this one was too soft. And when he sat, he sank nicely with no clumps for unevenness anywhere.
You have to know that pleasant beds were filled with layers of straws and twigs that needed to be dried and changed severally.
For nobles and royals, their beds were essentially well-made wooden structures with fabrics or feathers as mattresses.
Though softer than straw, there were always lumps in the rolled-up mattress when one slept on them.
Again, though the pointy tips of feathers were cut off, not all of its rigid structure could be eliminated. And with that, one could get prickled when they rolled.
If it were before, he wouldn't have felt anything from laying in an uneven bed. But now, he thought it was trash compared to these Baymardian mattresses.
That is, how can anything be so soft? And what did they put in it?
('∆')
.
Artemis was now in Wonderland.
Ahhhhh~
He screamed inwardly. He had seen these tvs in the magazine!
He was actually seeing it in the flesh!
BEst
Sigh...
What a heavenly thing!
The soldier showed him how to insert the tapes and watch Tv, as well as how to use their computers there. But there was no internet.
However, they could play the many games available to them.
Yes! There were built-in games like Solitaire, as well as adventure games with CDs.
On the corner was a bookshelf with books ranging from children to adults, with some being public science knowledge and newspapers showing current world matters.
Hmmmm...
All in all, Artemis was pleased with his room and the giant bathroom.
There, he had a sauna, a bathtub, and a massive shower with a stone slate within it, where he could sit or lay down while letting the waters from many massive shower heads fall on him.
There were bars of soap, as well as liquid soaps too. With conditioner, shampoo, and many essentials one would find in a hotel.
They also gave him 3 toothbrushes, 2 combs of different sizes, a hairdryer, a shaving kit with instructions, and over 12 towels of various sizes.
The soldier also warned him that electric appliances like hair dryers must never touch the water. So he shouldn't enter the shower with them.
Well, the warnings were already pasted on the walls, showing a before and after drawing of what would happen if he did.
Good to know. Artemis though.
.
That was it for the tour.
The soldier stood at the door. "Your highness, Artemis... It will be lunchtime soon. Is majesty will grab you then, will that be alright with you?"
"Yes." Artemis agreed.
It was time to talk business.
But first, he had to explore his new home.
Shoo. Shoo~
He wanted to drive the soldier away.
Bam!
The door closed, and a childish grin on his face.
They said this room was soundproof?...Bahahahahaha~
He rolled on the couch, jumping like a child while grabbing the Pringle snack he was holding.
He also turned on the Tv and began watching Indiana Jones.
(^0^)
Erm... Could he say he never wanted to leave his room again?
