Case 21: Capital of the Aragon empire.
Case 21: Capital of the Aragon empire.
Hello there, it's now slightly past the morning of day three, we're continuing our journey in the car again, and I just had a very awkward time with my driver - Justia.
I was pretty sure she sensed something yesterday after my girlfriends evicted her out of the car right after dinner. But now I'm beyond convinced that she knew what was going on.
Because this morning I woke up with hickeys plus bite marks all over my body, even on my neck. My jaw is slightly stiff, and my muscles are sore again, but it's better than the first time. You know, the standard stuff.
And then I realized that it was almost 9 A.M, a whole 30 minutes later than the time we were supposed to wake up, my two girlfriends were still sleeping. I hastily threw my clothes on and went outside to greet Justia, who was sitting against the tree, eating her breakfast.
When I spoke up to her, she looked at my neck for 3 seconds, then she blushed and tried to divert her gaze by looking down, only to catch the sight of some unknown liquid running down my thighs under the skirt.
I tried to act like nothing was wrong, that I just overslept, but that just made the interaction more awkward.
In the end, I just asked her for some more time to tidy up the car and to dress up my partners. Thankfully Justia and the crew on the other car were very considerate and didn't pester me or anything.
Back to the present, I am now looking out of the window, watching the scenery quietly, my partners still sleeping.
We are now passing through a town of the Empire, the geography of the Empire is pretty awkward, they have a lot of empty lands with all kinds of biome, each town and city is separated by these empty lands, so it's like there's just a lot of city and town patches in a big map. The capital is located near the heart of the country, by the way.
The town we're now driving through is named, well, I don't know, I don't really care either. But the buildings here have the same aesthetic as those in old Europe, like, 1700s or 1800s something.
''Um, Your Highness.'' Justia suddenly speaks up, breaking my line of thought, her eyes still facing forward.
''What's wrong?'' I try to reply calmly.
''U-Um, I'll make sure to park the car in a remote location, and I'll try to go farther to sleep tonight, so...'' She trails off at the end. I can see her ears reddens.

''cough cough... I-I see, thank you for your consideration.'' I nearly choked there.
I'm glad that we can do it more freely now, although she doesn't really need to go farther to sleep cause there will be no sound heard outside anyway. The first night I was very embarrassed about doing it in the car because of the sounds so I refused my girlfriends on their request, that's why on the second day I used the Internet for some research and was able to come up with a sound barrier of sort, using magic.
The effect was great, I think this will be useful to mask the sound of the .50 cal BMG when I do shoot it eventually in the city, I prefer this solution rather than using a silencer, fight me.
But I do need to restrain my girlfriends a bit though, I don't want to face the imperial family with hickeys on my neck... I wonder when will these ones fade out...
It's the evening of the fourth day. After passing through a few more towns, I can finally see the destination of our journey, the capital - Xeno.
The first thing that I'm able to see is the spiky top of a castle, it's red, very red. Gradually, more of the needlessly huge and extravagant castle, or palace, as people here call it, is revealed. That one is probably twice as big as ours.
Then what greets me next is an enormous wall surrounding the city itself. It's almost like Attack on Titan, minus the Titans.
After a bit more driving on the asphalt road, we arrived at the main gate. There are some guards there and a station of sorts built inside the wall.
At the front of the gate, we are stopped by 2 guards with red uniforms, holding muskets in their hands. Heh, inferior guns.
Justia opens the window, and one of the guards walks closer.
''May I ask, are you and the ladies here the delegation team of the Everwood kingdom?'' The guard asks with a polite tone in English after being stunned for a second, most likely because of our appearance.
''That's right, can we pass through?'' Justia replies with her normal, a little bit stiff tone.
''Of course, we were informed beforehand about your visit, and if I'm correct, the people in the car behind your car are also a part of the team, yes?''
''Yes, they are.''
''Understood. Please wait for a second.''
The guard runs back to the station, and after a bit, he gestures for us to pass.
Riding on the road inside the capital, I can see that the buildings are pretty much of the same style as the ones in the previous towns, just fancier. There's a lot of light on the street and in the buildings, people in this world use mana lamps as replacements for lightbulbs, so I guess there's no pollution, that's good.
Also, there are a lot more people here, and they seem to be much more well-off, I can even see a number of cars parked on the side of the road as well. Maybe that's why no one really pays attention to us.
We are now heading towards the residential area of our official embassy here in Xeno, we just built one 15 years ago, as an effort to establish a friendly relationship with the empire, on the outside. But in actuality, it is basically the base for our rescue and assassination operations.
The residence is where we will stay throughout our time here, I don't think staying in the imperial palace or the academy's dorm will be a good idea.
According to our schedule, we will be resting there for a full day, then we'll get dressed up and go to the palace to have an audience with the Emperor and his family, I don't know if they will also invite nobles or not.
But anyway, relax first, I'm kinda tired from the trip. Although I'm only sitting in the car and getting fucked the whole time. Not sure why.
Getting out of the car, I can see the residence before my eyes, 3 stories tall, green from top to bottom. Yup, this is the one. It does look very nice, actually.
We go in to receive our rooms, we, or rather Emy and Liana instantly ask for a large room for three people, and when the person in charge gives out the key, Emy snatches it with lightning speed and proceeds to walk straight to the room. We follow her to the third floor.
Opening the door, I can make out the sight of a large room with mainly green decorations, it's pretty well made, not too extravagant, but not bad at all, there's two big beds, one of them Liana throws out of the room shortly after.
It's fairly late, and we just had dinner, so we go to bathe (?) together, then go to sleep (?) together.
Next morning, we just got dressed for an outing, we decided to explore the city today. I saw a lot of stores and entertainment facilities yesterday, so I'm curious to see what the Empire here has to offer.
