The total number of envoy groups that Gaia sent out was four, and just like what happened in the Eastern Roman Empire, the envoy groups sent to the other three Kingdoms also received the same treatment.
However, their technology is too advanced, even the kingdoms or empires that have worked hard for tens or even hundreds of years cannot match how advanced the ship that Farak and his colleagues made, and all that because Lembuswana was the one who gave the knowledge to Farak, the knowledge that Lembuswana gave was not limited to what was in the future, but various references from what he had seen, whether from films, comics and others, and absurdly, Farak could make something from the absurd knowledge that Lembuswana gave, maybe that's how great the Dwarts were at creating something.
Seeing the technology they have, automatically, the kingdom's high-ranking officials would be interested in having it in their hands; after all, with a fleet of ships with such advanced technology and with the existence of magic, ruling the world is not just a dream, who wouldn't be interested in that? No one. This is just a race of time between the Kingdoms; whoever gets the information about the Saranjana Kingdom the fastest, then a massive attack will occur, but none of them will succeed because, after all, the Saranjana Kingdom is where the four strongest individuals on earth live.
---------------
- Saranjana Kingdom, present.
After Taufik arrived at the place where the returned envoy was being treated, Taufik did something with his Imagination Magic to wake the person up.
"Ughh~ Where am I?"
Said the envoy, who was a woman with black hair and green eyes; looking at the woman, Taufik felt something familiar, but he was not sure what it was.
"Giselle!"
Said Gaia, and immediately hugged the envoy named Giselle after seeing that she had woken up.
"... Are you okay? I'm so sorry, you end up like this because of me"
"What are you saying, My Queen? From the stars, it's all my plan, remember? So there's no need to feel guilty toward me"
Said Giselle while stroking Gaia's back.
*Ukhum!*
Taufik made his presence known with the fake cough; Giselle's eyes immediately turned towards Taufik, but what she saw first was Lembuswana and the little Nāgāntaka perched on Taufik's shoulder, and even though Nāgāntaka was in small form, Giselle who had known them both for a long time of course recognized him.
"Lord Nāgāntaka, Lord Lembuswana and-"
Giselle greeted Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka, but when her eyes fell on Taufik's face, she immediately fell silent, then she remembered the statue that stood proudly in the middle of the town square, and all the photos of Gaia with a man that was in almost every corridor of the castle, seeing Taufik in front of her, she immediately knew the person's identity without a need of further Introduction again.
"... Your Majesty The King, Is an honor for me to have you here, I'm sorry I can't Great you properly because of my Condition"
"It's okay, I don't really like formalities either, you can rest, but you have to tell me what really happened to you"
"... I will, Your Majesty... But let me first introduce myself; My Name is Giselle Greenwing; I Am Her Majesty's Assistant... And I'm an Elf..." seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Said Giselle while removing the ring on her finger, which made her hair color instantly change to pale green and her ears turned into the typical Elf pointed ears.
"An Elf? So~ there's where the familiar feeling is coming, I see... By any chance, do you know an Elf named Thalia, Giselle?"
Hearing Thalia's name from Taufik's mouth, Gaia looked a little disturbed and Giselle looked frustrated.
"T-Thalia? My king?"
"Oh~ Look at your expression; you probably know, right?"
"... We are bound to know because Thalia is the name of the princess of the Elf Kingdom in the world I come from"
"So she's Indeed a Princess"
"Pardon me, Your Majesty, have you ever met with Princess Thalia before?"
"Yes~ a few years ago, eh? No-"
"WHAT!! PRINCESS THALIA IS ON EARTH?"
Giselle shouted in surprise; if Taufik met Thalia a few years ago, it meant Thalia was on earth; that's not wrong, but that will only happen a few years in the future and not now, because right now, Thalia is still in her world.
"No! It's not like that, it's hard to explain-"
"Why it is hard to explain, Honey? Is it Hard to explain that you are cheating?"
"What? Where does that come from? Didn't you always in my side these the last few years? How can I possibly cheat?"
"Who knows? Maybe in the future?"
"What? Don't you already know with whom I will be in a relationship in the future?"
"I don't know what will happen in the future in that much detail, maybe she is your hidden lover or something? Who knows?"
"... You're being unreasonable, Gaia, you know that"
"... Excuse me, I can't quite follow this conversation, what were you two talking about?"
Giselle asked after witnessing the exchange between Taufik and Gaia.
"
*Sigh*
You don't have to worry about that, just told me about what happened to you"
Said Taufik, still with Gaia's cynical gaze directed at him.
"... S-sure, Your Majesty"
Giselle replied and then started to tell what happened from the beginning.
"The place I went to was the Eastern Roman Empire... At first, when we arrived, everything was fine...
When Giselle arrived in the Eastern Roman Empire, everything was fine, they were welcomed well, until the time came when she faced the Emperor, As an Assistant who always accompanied Gaia, Giselle was very fluent in speaking with other people, she then began to introduce the products of the Saranjana Kingdom to Basileios I Makedonia, and her colleagues demonstrated what the tools could do and how they were used, many of the equipment they brought from the Saranjana Kingdom, such as water pumps, refrigerators and other furniture that could only be found in the future.
All these furnishings were already commonplace in the Kingdom of Saranjana, but to the outside world, it was a new and extraordinary Innovation, especially with Magic as fuel; using it was very simple.
Everyone present at that time, including Basileios I Makedonia, was amazed by the furniture.
Seeing this, Giselle was, of course happy, and they began to negotiate, the purpose of Giselle's arrival as an envoy was actually for exchange, because the development in the Kingdom of Saranjana was very fast, their raw materials were almost running low, so Giselle proposed that their Kingdom would distribute finished materials in exchange for raw materials, and it seemed that it was approved by the high-ranking officials and the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire.
The negotiation went very quickly and ended with a satisfactory result for Giselle; with such feelings, Giselle and her colleagues returned to their ship, which had better facilities even when compared to the best inn in the world.
With the agreement of both parties, Giselle and her companions would stay in the Eastern Roman Empire for the next few days to monitor the exchange. The amount of furniture they brought was quite large, and Gaia had calculated and made a list of equivalent raw materials for the exchange, so it would take quite some time to prepare all of that.
"... On the first and second days nothing happened, but on the third day the attack suddenly happened, the warning alarm did sound but it was too late, with the number of troops that invaded our ship, we couldn't do anything at all, I was able to escape because the others distracted the troops for me so I could go to the emergency lifeboat and it had been equipped with an engine that moved with Magic, their Magician troops chased after me when they found out I had managed to escape, but by then I had sailed far enough that even their magic attacks couldn't reach me, after that, I didn't know anything, I continued to use my Mana to run the engine and sailed alone through a path that I vaguely remembered... luckily I was able to get here alive, sob~"
Said Giselle, who then burst into tears, thinking about the fate of her friends there.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you are very strong, I beg you to save those who are being held captive by the Eastern Roman Empire, The same fate also happened to the other envoy groups, seeing that they have not returned, Your Majesty, I beg you, please save them"
"... Honey"
Said Gaia, who then put her hand on Taufik's shoulder.
"... I'm okay; alright, Giselle, rest for now, don't worry, I will definitely do something about those friends of yours..."
"I Thank you for the deep of my heart, Your Majesty"
"No need, because that is what I have to do because you have considered me as your King, it is my responsibility, you can rest assured"
Said Taufik, who then left the room with Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka on his shoulders, leaving Gaia and Giselle alone.
"... Are you sure about this, kid? What about the plan?"
"We'll carry out that plan later... for now... Let's teach those shameless customers a lesson..."
