"Welcome back your Royal Highness." After entering the carriage, Aditya and Alicia were greeted by two maids. Aditya and Alicia sat down on the same couch. As they had to pretend to be a couple.
"Your Royal Highness, you would like to have anything beverages?" One of the maids asked.
"No, I will have to pass. Aditya what about you?"
"No, I am good."
"In that case, we shall take our leave. Now if you excuse us." The maids bowed and then took their leave.
After the Maids left, Aditya stood up and went to sit on the opposite couch. "Do you remember everything that I told you before coming here?"
"Don't worry, I remember everything."
"What is my favorite juice?" Before coming to Westnia, Alicia had given Aditya a two-hour lecture on the things that he should do, he should remember and he shouldn't do. If not for Aditya's instant learning skill, he wouldn't have remembered this much information in such a small time.
"It's Apple juice."
Sigh!

'I wonder how long I will have to pretend? Come to think of it, I don't even know what type of food and drink my real girlfriend likes. What kind of boyfriend am I?' Aditya mocked himself for not even knowing about his real girlfriend's favorite foods and drinks.
Aditya then looked at the transparent window. From the window, he can see people from many races. Among the races, the one race that caught his eye was the bird folks. Aditya had not seen the bird folk in Dying Isle continent.
The bird folks had long wings on their back. Wings are modified arms of birds, but these bird folks have arms as well as wings. 'They are just like dragons. Except for the fact that bird folks cannot transform into birds while Dragons can. Also, Dragon's bodies are built much stronger than bird folks.'
The Ethereal empire was founded around 713 years ago. The Empire was formed when the half-mermen people who were rejected by the mermen and mermaids that lived in the sea came to the land. The first emperor of the Ethereal Empire invited all types of races whether it was a succubus or a half-Incubus. He promised to give equal rights to every race and also a voice against discrimination. The Emperor's words moved the hearts of many races.
At that time this concept was unique in Westnia. As a result, many races from all over the continent moved to Westnia making it the strongest Empire on the Westnia continent. It is said that whenever an invader has attacked Westnia, all the races have combined their powers and fought back. Since then the Ethereal Empire has been the strongest Empire.
"Are you curious about the bird folks?" Alicia asked seeing Aditya looking interested.
"I have never seen Bird folks even when I was living on the Main continent." When Aditya lived on the main continent he very rarely went out of the castle. As people mocked him for not being able to awaken his dragon bloodline.
"My father found that the bird folks lived in the cold mountains. Apparently, the bird folks did not welcome any race as members of their race were often captured and turned into slaves. My father offered them a helping hand. He promised to ban the slave trade of bird folks and also promised to give them food, money, and shelter in exchange for their services. The bird folks agreed to live in Westnia. Now our empire has an air force which gives us a huge advantage against other empires."

Meanwhile, standing at the entrance of the royal palace, a handsome young man was waiting for the carriage to arrive. This handsome young man was Noah, the crown prince of the Ethereal Empire.
"Your Royal Highness, please calm down. Princess Alicia should arrive in a minute or two." The Prime minister tried to convince Noah to wait inside the royal palace as it was not fitting for the crown prince to wait to stand outside the royal palace and wait for his sister. But Noah did not listen to the prime minister's words.
Everyone in the royal palace knew that Noah and the King both were overprotective of Alicia. Only Alicia knows what sort of experience she had when she had to convince her father to let her to go the Dying Isle continent.
"It's coming." Noah's eyes lit up seeing the royal carriage quickly approaching the royal palace. Just as the carriage stopped, Noah personally opened the carriage door to allow his sister to come out.
"Big brother?" Alicia quickly got out of the carriage and gave him a hug. Meanwhile, Aditya followed Alicia and got out of the carriage. He saw Alicia excitedly hugging a man.
Seeing those emerald gem-like pupils staring at him, Aditya instantly knew that this young man was Alicia's big brother.
'So he is Noah.' Noah was a 24-year-old man with long blond hair. He was wearing a black Yukata. Noah looked like a handsome immortal God that descended from Heaven. Aditya noticed that Noah was a Peak 3rd-order cultivator. It seemed he was close to breaking through Peak 3rd-order. It would probably take him another few months to naturally reach beginner 4th-order.
Noah was also observing Aditya. Although Aditya's face wasn't handsome as Noah's face, the serious but calm look and his red crimson eyes, and his attractive long blue hair make up for it. Noah was also inwardly impressed by the fact that a 19 years old man was a beginner 3rd-order. The first time Noah had his eyes on Aditya, he felt as if he was looking at the Emperor. Aditya had this aura of supremacy that made it hard for him or anyone to ignore Aditya.
Even the prime minister who was standing beside Noah was also impressed by Aditya. 'It seems the Princess has chosen a capable man. To think a 19 years old young man has Beginner 3rd-order cultivation. Genius.'
"Alicia, are you not going to introduce your boyfriend to me?" Noah's eyes were still on Aditya. Behind those gentle words, Noah was sharply looking at Aditya. It was as if he was threatening Aditya.
"This is my boyfriend, Aditya. He is from Dying Isle. Aditya this is my big brother, Noah."
"It's nice to meet you." Aditya took the initiative for a handshake. Noah shook hands with Aditya with a gentle smile.
"Aditya, you can just call me big brother or brother just like Alicia. I welcome you to the Ethereal Empire on behalf of the Emperor."
"Thank you, br...brother." Aditya was a little uncomfortable calling Noah a brother. But he soon got used to it.
"Let me introduce you to Uncle Clark. He is the prime minister of our Ethereal empire." Clark politely gave a bow to Aditya which Aditya replied with a nod.
Clark was a middle-aged man with a bald head. The man was around 5 feet 6 inches. Clark was over 100+ years old and had Peak 2nd-order cultivation. Clark was slightly fat which made him look even shorter.
"Alright, let's go. Father and everyone have been waiting for your arrival." Noah leads Aditya and Alicia inside the castle. While walking inside, Aditya couldn't help but admire how beautiful the castle looked.
After walking inside the castle, Aditya saw hundreds of maids standing in two lines. When Alicia and Aditya entered the castle, all the maids bowed their heads to greet the princess and the Princess's husband.
"Clark, can you deal with the paper works? I apologize but I will have to leave this one to you." Noah was taught to give more priority to his family. To him, his sister's return was more important than some mere document signing work.
"I will take of everything. Your royal highness can rest assured." Clark then took his leave. He went to the other direction. Noah lead Alicia and Aditya to the personal teleportation array that was built inside the castle and was only available for the royal family.

Scene change_____
Meanwhile, the news of Julia returning had also reached the Emperor's ears. Everyone was excited and also slightly nervous. This was the first time Alicia had ever bought a man with her.
"Everyone get ready, Alicia is coming."
Meanwhile, the teleportation array bought Aditya and Alicia to a different location. When Aditya opened his eyes, he found himself in more of an open space. The green color caught his eyes. He found farming lands in front of him.
"Where are we?" Aditya asked while looking around. It was clear that they had teleported to some hidden village or countryside. Any direction that Aditya looked. he only saw mountains and tall trees. It seems this village was hidden deep inside a forest.
"This is where we live. Let's go." Alicia took Aditya's right and followed Noah behind. She normally wouldn't have held Aditya's hand but in this situation, Alicia and Aditya were acting as a couple. And it was normal for couples to hold hands.
After about a minute of walking, Aditya and Alicia stopped right in front of a double-story wooden house. Inside the house, Aditya sensed the presence of some powerful cultivators.
Click!
The wooden door was opened by a man who exactly looked the same as Noah. Without needing to be told, the dragon king knew this man was Alicia's father and the current Emperor.
