As the convoy entered the city, many people were looking at the convoy. The people"s attention was caught by the humvees which were traveling in the cobblestone roads of the city. Many people whispered that the convoy was escorting Prince Eric, the people were also amazed at the horseless carriages. They thought that some powerful mage was with the prince.The Special Forces thought that the capital city was cleaner than the other cities they went to. But all of them were disappointed in what greeted them. Like the other towns, human excrements were everywhere to be found, if you are not very careful you might step on someone"s p.o.o.p. The smell wasn"t as pleasant but it was slightly better than the other towns the pa.s.sed.
The convoy continued to travel towards the castle, Prince Eric was pointing the direction of the royal palace via radio to the lead vehicle. After 15 minutes of traveling the cobblestone roads, they have already seen the gates of the royal palace.
The gates were of st.u.r.dy iron bars with decorative carvings carve to the pillars holding the gates.
The cobblestone road leading to the entrance of the palace was cleaner. The palace looked like something that you will see pictures of fantasy castle that little girls dreamed of living in. But the materials used in the castle were tough, it was build to survive when the palace will be under siege.
The field of the palace was covered with beautiful different colored flowers. In front of the palace, you will see the statue of the 1st King, his body except for his head was wearing his full Armor, he also had a sword which holds both his hands and points the sword up to the sky.
The convoy stopped at the gates of the palace, it was to check them. The guards panicked at first after seeing the horseless carriages approach them.
They have already known that the convoy was carrying the lost prince. But they did not believe that the convoy was using horseless carriages. So they struck by surprise after seeing the carriages themselves.
Prince Eric got out of the carriages, the guards noticed someone got out. They saw the familiar face of the First Prince Eric. The guards immediately kneeled with their knees and bowed in front of Eric.
One of the guards spoke, " Prince Eric we have been expecting your arrival. We will open the gates after we finish checking the carriages."

Eric then spoke, " You don"t need to check the carriages, I will say this to you that these people are not dangerous. If they were, do you think they would save me from the pirates and bandits? Would they let me live for a month, or would they even waste food just to give it to me? Even they"ve helped me return here safely you still don"t trust my guest."
The guards looked at each other before one of them replied to Prince Eric, " Well as you can see we have received direct orders from his majesty to ensure that these people will not cause harm."
Prince Eric spoke in an angry tone, " So you only have to do is to make sure that they will not cause harm, not to inspect their belongings and forbidding them to enter. Am I correct?"
The guard then spoke, " bu-but your highness we are just following orders."
Eric let out a sigh disappointment before speaking to the guards, " Fine but do not touch their personal belongings as some of them are very fragile you are only allowed to look, but you can"t touch anything like most of them are very expensive."
Eric just lied as he knew that if the guards knew about the rifles they would immediately arrest all the Special Forces, which might cause Dariel to declare war on them. As he still didn"t know if Dariel cares for his troops or not so he just made a sure decision. He already knew that the special forces alone could deal ma.s.sive damage to the troops inside the city, even they managed to catch or kill all of them, they will still face ma.s.sive loses in their internal security forces.
The guards inspected the carriages, they even looked inside but they did not touch anything. They were actually scared of breaking anything as Prince Eric told them that the people were carrying fragile and expensive things. They were afraid that those things will be deducted from their salaries.
The guards finished inspecting the Humvees, Eric got back in the humvee. The guards signaled the others to open the gates. The gates opened and the humvees went inside the Soldiers were amazed by, the scenery they felt like they were in a fantasy world. Even it is a fantasy world though they are like this because they only lived in a country that was technologically advanced.
They reached the entrance of the castle, a man was waiting in front of the doors, with some guards and maids accompanying him. The man wore a crown, It was king Danilo waiting for the return of his own son.
Eric walked out of the humvee, and walk towards the king. Rogen also got out of the humvee following Eric.
King Danilo also walk towards Eric, as the two got closer to each other, the stopped and silence surrounded the area.
Eric started to speak, " Father I have..."
A sound of slapped echoed throughout the place, All the people present were surprised after seeing the king slapped Eric. Eric was stunned after feeling the pain of his father"s slap on his cheek.
The king immediately wrapped his arms to Eric hugging him. The King spoke, " You son of mine is a fool for making me and your mother worry. That slap was for your idiotic actions as a prince."
Eric hugged his father like and apologized, " I"m so sorry father that was really the most idiotic thing I"ve done."
The king changed his attention to Rogen and spoke, " So you must be the leader of the guests that my son has brought. I would like to apologize not as a king but as a father for the troubles that my son has brought to you."
Rogen spoke, " It"s ok your highness, your son really didn"t give us much trouble, he only troubled as when it came to food." ( laughing)
The king got near to Rogen and spoke, " Then you must be tired and hungry after that long travel. I want you to join me for lunch this afternoon."
Rogen spoke, " Oh that would be great your highness. But we would like to find a place to stay, so we must leave, too look for a temporary place to stay while we"re here. But we will surely join you for lunch."
King Danilo spoke, " Don"t worry about the place you will be staying I already prepared it, as I have received a letter from Lord Evan about your group. Take one of my maids to bring you there, but be back for lunch, as I am expecting you to come back."
Rogen then replied, " Surely your highness"
One of the maids got in the lead humvee, she was surprised at the inside of the humvee. But her attention was caught by Cpt. Alvarez and Sgt. Paul. The maid saw the two talking at each other, they both giggle while talking to each other.
The maid said to herself, [ Am I seeing the forbidden love I read on those books. Where two men fell each other the bromance. The onahole where they do it or will they do it.]
The maid"s cheeks were flushed red and she was breathing heavily that looked lewd. The soldier next to her felt an aura of desire to s.e.xually have the Captain and Sergeant do it. The soldier showed a disgusted look at the maid. The maid saw the soldiers look, so she immediately returns to her normal nature. But she still looked at Captain and Sergeant, she showed a face that you could tell that she was imagining unbelievable, drool slipped through her mouth which she immediately wiped.
The humvees left the palace ground, the maid pointed the direction where they will stay. The maid has brought them to a mansion.
The maid then explained to Rogen, " This mansion was owned by a n.o.ble who betrayed the king, so the royalty owns this mansion. We have already cleaned this mansion for you to use."
Cpt. Alvarez spoke to Sgt. Paul, " Hey Paul, don"t you think that maid is kinda cute?"
Paul replied, " Well she is sir, don"t tell me sir you already have your eyes on her.
Cpt. replied, " Yes, I already have why is there a problem."
Paul replied, " Yes there is I already have eyed her first before you."
Cpt. Alvarez, " Aren"t you overconfident, defying your superior."
The two bang their heads together, their face was too close at each other that they could smell their breaths.
The maid who saw the two thought, [ OMG! are they gonna kiss in public, I can"t believe I can see it in real life not only in books.]
Rogen was exploring the mansion, the mansion had no pieces of furniture in it. There are tables and chairs and beds. But there are no beddings or mattresses, there are no decorations at all. But it was not a problem as they will also use this as their base of operations.
He ordered the soldiers to arrange their equipment inside. The maid was escorted back by Cpt. Alvarez and Rogen to the palace. Rogen was gonna join the lunch at the palace with the king. Sgt. Paul was left to lead the men in preparing the equipment, but he was jealous of Cpt. Alvarez who got to join Rogen.
