Chapter 538 Uncharmable
--AN) Sorry for the no post yesterday, I got stuck doing some things and did not get all my chapters done yesterday. But I should give a heads up that Sunday, tomorrow for some today for others, is my day off from writing. Blake will be back on Monday with his normal daily schedule.
Also, some people have asked me about Destiny and Joy joining Blake's harem. I will leave this up to you all. So Vote yes to have them join or no to keep them as is. I could also do another reality type chapter later on that would have this happen. And keep things as they are on the main timeline. Let me know what you think, and I will go from there. ---
Princess Danaphine sighed as she said: "It's a long story, but we still have a few days before we will reach the city. So I will give you the details."
As they walked, Princess Danaphine began telling Blake her tale of how they came to be here. Her homeworld was once wrecked by war and was only fixed after the discovery of the cyberseed, which allowed the great famine that struck to save millions of lives. But from there, something new took place. Cyber beast. No one knew how or when they came into existence, but they came to be and became a threat to the few cities left in the world. There were more cyber beasts than her own kind. Then began the cybernetic revolution. Augmented humans that were not fully human anymore, and some that were fully cybernetic and became more robot than anything else.
Because humans were growing smarter by combining themselves with machines, a new wave of crime also took place, and new regulations needed to be met along with new kinds of technology to fight the cyber beasts that stood hundreds of feet tall. "Then about a month ago it happened….. A scientist was doing an illegal experiment with a new kind of particle that was discovered. We called it the Aion. It was a particle rich in sustainable power and was going to be the future of our world once we were able to harness how to use it correctly. But the data on how to create it was hacked, and then.…"
Princess Danaphine took a bite of the meat in her hand. They had already walked many hours, and night had fallen. Blake could have gotten the princess to the city by now, but he knew she could not leave her men, which were many more than he had thought. One hundred in total. He found out that this was the size of the patrol parties that went out to kill the cyber beasts.
"And then… A bright light swept over our entire kingdom and most of the land we held under our rule. Before we knew it, the sky had turned many strange colors, and we ended up here surrounded by water on an unknown world." Princess Danaphine finished her explanation.
"I see… So whatever that scientist did caused you and your people to be transported here." Blake wondered just what this Aion particle was that would cause such a thing to happen.
"Yes. It is something that we are still working on trying to figure out. The factory that the scientist used was destroyed, taking the scientist with it. All evidence of what he was doing there was wiped out as well, leaving us with nothing to go on how to even get back home. But the same issues still looms as it did before. Even though we are no longer on our world, the cyber beasts are still roaming around and seem to be getting stronger…. Even our current walkers are unable to fend them off easily." Princess Danaphine let out an exhausted sigh. Blake could tell she seemed very tired.
"I see, maybe after we do our exchange, my Desinty City will be able to help you with that." Blake could not make promises. He would need to see how things went with diplomatic ties. He also had to warn them about the devils and how powerful they truly are. He did not know how Princess Danaphine's people were, but if things went well, he was willing to try to help protect them. Of course, only if his own people were not in need of help first.
"We will have to speak with my father, as it would come down to his decision." Princess Danaphine replied with a smile. She looked up at Blake and met eyes with him but quickly averted her gaze her cheeks red. She was starting to feel hot all of a sudden.
Bret noticed this and leaned over and whispered: "Blake, did you forget about your charm?"
"Shit!" Blake cursed as he stood up and quickly backed away from the princess, and bowed his head. "Sorry, Princess. I should take a few steps away from you. I forgot that my race has a charm that will attract women. I do not want you to think I was trying to use it on you. I have been cooped up in my city that I forgot all about it since all those under contract with the city are immune to it."
"Huh?" Princess Danaphine seemed confused before looking at Bret, who shook his head and answered: "He is what is called a Drakani, a race that has a strong natural charm to them. It can make women want to be with him. He did not mean to use it on you in any way."
"I see. I do not understand what you mean. I only thought his eyes were beautiful." Princess Danaphine was really confused. She had thought that Blake was very handsome, one of the most handsome men she had ever met, and his unique features brought more charm, but she did not feel anything beyond that.
"I see." Blake let out a relieved sigh. "I thought it was affecting you. I do apologize if it has."
"It's fine. I am not affected at all. The only area beneath my breast is currently still human. My head and heart are all cybernetic. Women in the royal family can not become full cybernetics until after they give birth. It is a law passed down from times of old." Princess Danaphine explained. But this allowed Blake to realize his charm would not work on girls from Princess Danaphine's world, which made him sigh in relief. While Princess Danaphine was very beautiful, he did not want to use his charm on her at all. Although he was not against bringing her on board if it meant he could form stronger diplomatic ties with a kingdom that had mechas. While his thoughts were on the asshole side of things to want to use a girl for such a thing, he would never mistreat her.
