Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
287 Meeting the queen (part 2)
Unlike a natural dimensional tunnel created by using space shift, the one used by the queen did have some advantages though.
For example, the law of space was so minimal that it didn't affect them, meaning the ones travelling like this could stay conscious through the whole travel, and the weaker people wouldn't get headaches and the like from it.
'I guess they had to make do with what they had', Daimon didn't forget about the elevator built in that hotel they stayed before, and he was quite curious about to origin of the Clear Water kingdom, since it seemed to be somewhat influenced by people from earth or a similar culture.
But then that kind of information would be controlled so that the public wouldn't know the whole truth, in such cases only those with a high status would have access to that kind of records, and while he had the hollow suit, he didn't know where to look… until a moment ago.
Since he now had a pending matter to discuss with the queen, and judging by how interested she seemed to be on them, he might get a chance to get some privileged information about this planet, one way or another.
After about half an hour of travelling in the dimensional tunnel with the help of the queen, they reached their destination.
Once they left the dimensional tunnel, Daimon was welcomed with the sight of one of the most important cities in the Clear Water kingdom, the Warhammer city.
To Daimon's surprise, the queen didn't bring them directly inside of the city, instead they appeared right at the entrance.
"Come I'll help you skip the line", with those words, the queen waved her hand and a large light blue carriage appeared in front of them, she also tapped her beast pouch and a pair of adult sized seahorses came out of it, to pull on the carriage.
Apparently, the other nobles knew this would happen, because they weren't surprised by the fact that Annete, in other words the queen wasn't allowed to directly enter the city bypassing the entrance.
'I guess politics are way worse here than back at the Wonder Myriad stellar chart', thought Daimon as he entered the carriage with the girls, the prisoners on the other hand were dragged through the ground, intentionally so that everyone would notice it.
As the carriage advanced to the path reserved for those with a level of authority that equaled the royals, many of the nobles that were waiting in line to enter the city either by foot or in their own carriages, noticed the large carriage of the queen.
It didn't have the emblem of the royals which Daimon knew of thanks to the books he got from the information store, which was practically a white shark with a trident mark on its head, but the figure of a dolphin wit horns on its head and a larger lower body which ended on a tail.
"That's the emblem of the Delphini family, but he only ones that can use the entrance reserved for royals are eighter their patriarch, the princess… or the queen".
"I-Isn't that Ralph Blackfin!", one of the many nobles saw the haggard figures being dragged through the dirt and immediately pointed at the guy from the Blackfin family, who turned out to be called Ralph.
"Yes, it is him… but that means it can't be none other than her majesty the queen".
To administrate such a punishment to the youngest son of the Blackfin patriarch, only the queen of the Delphini patriarch would dare, but the Delphini patriarch was sworn brothers with the Blackfin patriarch, so that reduced the options to the queen.
From within the carriage, Daimon heard the intense gossiping from the nobles and then he saw from the corner of his eyes, that the queen was sweetly smiling and giggling from time to time.
'I knew dolphins were supposed to be smart, but this one in particular seems to be pretty cunning', he thought.
The carriage soon reached the gate and stopped for a split of a second, as the guards approached it to inspect what was causing all the ruckus in the waiting lines.
Since Ralph isn't exactly a nobody, the guards immediately recognized him through his haggard current appearance, but as they were about to start asking questions, the window of the carriage became transparent allowing them to see the queen.
"The guard of the Warhammer city welcomes the queen!", both of the guards bowed their heads, to present their respect to the queen, confirming the supposition of the other nobles.
"Mm, open the gate, and tell the city lord that I captured some things to discuss with him".
"Yes!", listening to the queen, the guards opened the gate for them, without asking anything else.
Once the carriage was inside, the queen set it so that it would go to a centric area of the Warhammer city.
Inside of the carriage the queen turned to see nobles before saying.
"If you don't have a place to stay already, I happen to have a pass for the Sea Dream branch in the city, please by all means accept it without any reserves".
The queen offered each of the five nobles a small token with a number which probably indicated the ownership of a room.
The nobles stared at each other, they were going to rent some place to stay, but after seeing the large waiting line outside and how crowded the city seemed to be, they realized that due to the pirate attacks inland, a lot of nobles rushed to reach the city and it was going to be really hard to find an empty room in a nice hotel right now.
"We'll gladly accept her majesty's generosity", said the nobles as they took the tokens, the doors of the carriage opened and they left, not without Mellie saying them goodbye.
"I hope to see you all once the magic beast hunt starts".
Normally Mellie wouldn't pay them too much attention after their travel as a group ended, but she didn't ignore how they jumped in front of them when the situation was critical, at the moment of the truth it's easy to know who is fake and who isn't.
Like Ralph a high ranked noble who sold them to save his ass, while these middle level nobbles instead did what they could to help, despite the fact that their death was practically assured.
"If the princess needs us, just say the word", the nobles bowed as they said goodbye before they left to the Sea Dream hotel branch in the Warhammer city, happy to have left a decent impression on the princess and probably even on the queen.
Now that only Mellie, the queen as well as Daimon and the girls were left alone, Spencer was there too, but he was sleeping after taking some potions to recover, the atmosphere inside the carriage tensed up a bit for a couple of second, before Annete spoke with a soft smile on her face.
"I'll be glad if you would accept to be honored guests at my Aquamarine mansion, here at the Warhammer city, you'll be free to leave whenever you want to, of course".
Daimon inwardly smiled; things were going the best way possible for his plans, he turned to see the girls and after seeing them nod at him, he accepted the queen's offer.
"Thanks, we'll accept the offer".
The queen nodded and the carriage started moving towards the east side of the city, from the window, Daimon inspected their surroundings, besides the blue tones that were always present in the architecture of the Clear Water kingdom, he also saw decorations like statues, or stores and other buildings which had hammerhead shark emblems here and there.
'White shark, dolphin and hammerhead shark… where have I seen them before', he thought, remembering some of the sea magic beasts that stood out among the ones that chased him, during the trial at the special space of the lineage temple.
Daimon came out of his daze as they reached their destination, a large mansion decorated with aquamarine toned crystal, they stopped at the gate which was custodied by a couple of women wearing blue full body armors.
The guards saw the queen from the window and they immediately opened the gate for her, the carriage was welcomed by two lines of maids and other people that worked in the mansion, who came out to greet her.
"We greet young miss Annete and young miss Mellie!", the maids and the other workers bowed an they greeted them, the doors of the carriage opened and Daimon, the girls, as well as Mellie and Annete came out of it, only then then employees raised their heads.
"Mina, take those pieces of trash to the prison, make sure to keep an eye on them, as they will be interrogated later, Aimee take senior Spencer to the infirmary and take care of him please".
"Yes, my queen", following the orders of Annete, a tall woman wearing a blue armor with a more detailed design compared to the one the guards had, took the pirates and the pair of bodyguard and young master away.
While there was a peak Arch rank among them, the queen didn't have anything to worry, because the tall woman called Mina is one too, in fact she was rather stronger than the bodyguards.
'A knight', thought Daimon, noticing the heavy aura around the tall woman, the aura she gave of was that of an experienced warrior.
The other woman who was called Aimee, was shorter and was wearing a doctor's robe, she didn't say anything but did as she was told and dragged the still asleep Spencer with her in a gurney.
"These people are my honorable guests, treat them with the same respect you show me, Martha please guide them to the best guest room".
The head maid, a middle-aged woman with black hair nodded as she turned to see Daimon and the girls.
"Please follow me".
Daimon and the girls followed the head maid, not without listening to the queen saying.
"Once you have settled, just ring the service bell and Martha will guide you to the dining room, so that we can have a proper conversation".
The queen waited until Daimon, the girls and the black armored Horals disappeared from her vision, before she turned to see her little sister.
"I nearly suffered a heart attack you know, the next time you leave the Crystal Reef city, Mina will go with you".
"Mm, sorry I didn't want to cause you more trouble sis", the princess had a slightly sad expression as she was scolded by the queen, making Annete sigh as she shook her head.
"Don't worry about that, all that matters is that you are alright… speaking of that, what do you know about that masked kid?".
Mellie raised an eyebrow, seeing the genuinely interested expression in her older sister's face, she made memory of everything that happened before answering.
"Not too much, he only appeared a few minutes before you arrived, or it would be more accurate to say you were able to find me, because he appeared, there was also that strange looking woman who somehow dived into his shadow as well as that black armored guy, they appeared out of nowhere once he called them".
The queen frowned.
"Appeared out of nowhere… like what that man can do?", she asked.
But the princess immediately shook her head.
"No, it wasn't through a crack in the space like what that guy does, but I'm pretty sure that at least the black armored guy wasn't there and somehow appeared when he called it, it was pretty strange".
With each part of the story her little sister told her, the curiosity in the eyes of the queen grew more and more.
