Calipso continued on foot with the lady watching from all sides looking at the individuals who kneeled once they saw the lady and some smiled at Calipso showing her that they admired her as well, Calipso couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the gazes that shifted her way she felt as if like she was royalty when walking beside this lady and her guards, after walking past the city they halted infront of a gigantic gate that was at least seven times bigger than the first one its presence gave off a peaceful yet dangerous feeling even it's golden color glowed brightly before opening for them ,Calipso felt like she was walking with giants disguised in human form and of course giants in her town usually had mansions with gates as big as the first gate in the current city she was in but then again this city was powerful and peaceful that she could sleep on the streets without worrying.
The four walked through the gates and immediately after entering through the gates they were teleported into a room that seemed to be made of minerals and a normal person like Calipso could go crazy just looking at this even if they weren't supposed to touch it, she looked around the room that was brazed with pure gold and the jasper floor merged with crystal clear floor and if one lowered their heads they would see another room below them and the one below was slightly larger and it's shine emanated from the room to the upper floor , she was mesmerized that didn't realise she was subconsciously feeling the walls with her hands "Young Miss" one of the guards called her when they saw her reaction since they arrived in the throne room, Calipso snapped back to reality and stood straight with her back straight "I'm sorry for not paying attention honorable ones" she lowered her head before the guards started giggling "Honorable ones?" the guard on the right who was carrying a giant sword that had a diamond sheath said in a soft and gentle voice in a surprised manner "Eh?" Calipso didn't know what she had done much less know what she was doing a few minutes ago "Ah, as expected of a nice lady like you, you have great respect for those who you think are above you, but in this place everyone is just equal with each other, we don't even use royalty formalities or honorifics, so just call me Aethelu" the guard on the left lowered his head in a 30 degree angle showing respect and his humbleness towards Calipso "And here we have brother James" Aethelu said pointing at the guard on the right who lowered his head slightly after he got introduced, a minute later Calipso curtseyed before the two guards and introduced herself , after they were done introducing themselves they turned to look at the beauty who was starring at them while giggling "Such humbleness" she commented , the guards went to her side and took some golden seats sitting on both sides "Why don't you come and take some seat with us little one" the lady said patting on the jasper-diamond stairs motioning Calipso to come sit with her, but Calipso lowered her head and said "You Great One, I don't deserve to sit beside someone like you as I'm just a nobody" the guards looked at her with odd gazes and she reminded them of how they acted whenever they were around the lady "Don't worry I don't mind, hence why I am even offering you to sit next to me" the lady said with a peaceful smile that looked simple but gave off a special kind aura , Calipso didn't hesitate this time and started walking towards the lady and the guards before sitting next to the beauty who emitted a kind aura "Little one, my name is Christina the Empress of this kingdom and city, Crystal City may seem solid and powerful but truly speaking it's fragile because people here are so kind that they can let beasts eat them while smiling" she spoke making a chill run down Calipso's spine "Oh I didn't mean to make it sound weird, anyway where are you from" she asked
"I'm from a town called Aoa, it's filled with many kind souls even though they don't stand a chance against kind souls like you, however since Senior Rutherford was announced protector and given power to access everything in the town, the people there went poor and some even dying from hunger since they force us to pay a large amount of gold coins to just live inside the town , and to be honest with you You Great One I think their idea was ridiculously out a they even take advantage of those living in streets ,take me for an example" she sighed, the lady went silent and took her time to speak her mind ,after a moment she spoke with Calipso promising her that her town will go back to being the town it was and eventually she made a beautiful sparkle in her eyes in Calipso's eyes appear ,mostly like nature read her mind the two guards nodded and disappeared from her sight "Don't worry little one, violence is not in our nature James and Aethelu are going to just solve this matter like knowledged tourists, your town is safe and I assure you that no one will ever die you hear me" the lady suddenly brought Calipso's head closer to her chest letting her rest her fears and anger on her chest, once her head embraced the lady's chest her worries instantly vanished existed somehow in her mind but her mind was completely free from worries, anger and fear.
A moment later she fell asleep on the lady's chest unintentionally after feeling her soft chest absorb the negativity inside her mind and heart, the beautiful lady known as Empress Christina stroked Calipso's hair in a calm and gentle way avoiding to wake her from her beautiful rest, the way this girl has attracted Christina's eyes Christina couldn't help but try and be a friend to this young sweet girl who had more love in her heart than she's supposed to have "Calipso huh? that's a beautiful name" Christina giggled and kept stroking Calipso's hair.
