Chapter 548 Forming An Alliance Part 4
Blake felt a headache coming on. Anytime a princess comes to live in his city, he ends up marrying them. But he could not pass up this offer either. If Princess Danaphine was really willing to come to Destiny City, then he would welcome it as it would give a tight connection between the two powers.
"If that is what you want, then I will allow it. We can give you a room in my palace unless you want to live in the city itself. I will leave that up to you." Blake did not want to make firm decisions since he wanted Princess Danaphine to feel comfortable where ever she decided to stay.
"I will decide once everything is confirmed." Princess Danaphine gave a mysterious smile before saying: "Then shall we head back?"
"Alright." Blake nodded and slipped his hand around Princess Danaphine's waist. She smiled and hugged him tightly as they disappeared from the shores of what used to be Blake's home.
Blake reappeared in the throne room inside the castle in Javanie City only to see a sight he did not wish to see. "Mina, why are all these knights on their hands and knees prostrating themselves in front of you?"
"One of them tried to touch my wings so I punished them," Mina replied. She flew over, ignoring Princess Danaphine, who was still hugging Blake, and kissed Blake on the cheek.
Blake turned and looked at her eyes that said I am completely innocent and then at the king who let out a long sigh and nodded. "I am sorry, one of my younger knights had tried to touch your wife. First, it was only him who was being punished, and before I could say anything the others also pulled their weapons. Let them stay like that for a few more hours. Maybe it will teach them that a state guest is a state guest, not someone they can draw their weapons on."
Finaal was exhuasted. He did not know how Blake dealt with a woman who was so unreasonable. But to keep her appeased, he did not say anything as she forced his own people to their knees. He knew he could not stop her either, so he just let it happen. "I do apologize."
"No, it's not just your fault. Mina, let them up." Blake ordered, causing Mina to click her tongue and wave her hand. She then flew up to Blake's head and took up her normal spot, where she began taking her frustration out by pulling on his hair.
"Make you go bald!" Mina snorted as she pulled with all her might, but sadly she could not pull a single hair out. She had no choice but to just stomp around instead.
Princess Danaphine couldn't help but laugh. She found Mina to be quite cute. "Are all your wives like this?"
"Mina is more of the wild one while the others are quite sensible. However, my Main wife can go off the walls at times. But in the end, I love them all and would protect them with my life." Blake explained. He had a soft smile on his face when it came to talking about his wives.
Mina blushed and stopped making a fuss. She decided she would let him off this time. She decided to turn her attention to the princess, who was still hugging Blake. "So Princess, did he do you?"
"Cough!" Blake, who was just about to speak to the king, choked on his own words. Even Finaal was shocked at Mina's blunt question.
Princess Danaphine, on the other hand, whole face turned red. She quickly shook her head and said: "No! We did nothing like that!"
"Hmmm… I just figured with how tightly you are hugging him that he had given you a small taste." Mina's lips were turned up into a wide grin. She loved teasing girls who found her husband handsome.
"Ah!" Princess Danaphine blushed from ear to ear. She had forgotten she did not need to hold on to Blake now that they were on solid ground! She ran her hands through her hair as she said: "I forgot I was not in the air."
"Mhmmm…" Mina had a look on that said: 'Sure, whatever you say.'
"Mina, leave her alone." Blake sighed as he reached up and went to poke the little fairy, only for her to dodge.
"We should not talk about what your daughter saw." Blake tactfully changed the subject.
Finaal was very glad the subject got on the more important issues. Princess Danaphine began explaining everything she saw in detail, and the more she spoke, the more the people in the throne room paled. They wondered what kind of world they were thrown into.
After Princess Danaphine finished, Finaal sat back on his throne, feeling slightly overwhelmed. "Blake, how hard would it be to raise my kingdom in the air, like your city?"
"It would not be easy. We had to work hard to collect enough material to create the magic array that controls my island. It would take a while to collect everything, but it is not impossible unless you do not have enough landmass to house the unity. But earth magic might be able to help with that. That is unless we can find out a way to use your technology to create a combined magic and techno style engine, but it would need to run silently. The key to a city in the sky is to make it so that it is undetectable.
"We have many shields guarding our mana signature so that the devils can not sense them. And a few of them are using divine power, which only gods can create. I am not against helping you build such a device, but it would take many years to do. It's not like it can be done in a month or two." Blake explained. It was not that he was unwilling. It was just that he did not have the resources at this time to build a second flotation device. It was an intricate piece of engineering, and he never thought that he would need to make another one.
