Oh guys for those who don't know Arthur invoked Leona solar/lunar eclipse in the last chapter.
------------------------------------------------- ----------
"Before I explain our current situation, let's introduce ourselves first." Arthur said as he gestured for Leona to put him down but she just ignored him and placed him on her shoulders like he was a baby animal and started walking towards the exit, "You can explain to me while I do. a look at the location." She nodded and lowered her head so she could get through the door.
" Prince!" The guards screamed and ran after them, as Leona walked through the doors several maids who were nearby trying to hear what was happening in the hall were startled by her appearance and threatened to run but Arthur somehow calmed them down by shouting.
"Warn the guards so they don't attack this girl here and please don't run scared around this can lead to serious misunderstandings." Arthur explained while standing on Leona's shoulder that he refused to lower it and soon after the two continued to explore the castle.
When they got far enough away and the guards ran after one of the maids finally spoke, "Who is this woman so beautiful and big?" When this maid's voice rang out the whole place froze for a moment before the maids started gossiping with each other and coming up with theories that would later lead to major misunderstandings.
-----------------------
"Well that one over there is the courtyard and if we go further there is the canteen, and then..." Arthur began to explain how the palace worked to Leona while pointing out some historical tales during construction, "It is indeed a very good castle. built but flawed in many parts, can you tell me why?" Leona asked running her hand over one of the walls lightly.
"Well…" Arthur muttered and lightly analyzed everything he remembered of the castle, "The walls though sturdy are very small, any invading enemy could scale with a ladder, the gate is not made of metal or strong materials so a team assembled with siege weapons could easily breach him and ....." Arthur began quoting the problems he could remember and encounter from his strategy games he had played before and was frightened by the amount of failures the castle had.
Leona also listened intently to his words and was even surprised to note that he found other weaknesses she hadn't even noticed, "That's right, this place is so full of flaws that I think I could conquer it with just 500 soldiers." Leona said jokingly but Arthur noticed a truth in her voice.
"And destroy it?" Arthur asked as he measured his words, "Just me alone would be enough." Leona said with an evil smile on her face but soon returned to her stoic face.
"Well, now tell me about this world." She asked and Arthur remembered a few things before starting to explain, "Let's start with the realms then." He said and asked Leona to lower it, Arthur took a stick from the ground in the Garden and began to draw in the earth.
"We live on a large continent, it hasn't been given an official name yet so let's call it Continent steak…." Arthur drew what appeared to be a splayed piece of meat.
(Note the Author was hungry at that time.)
"We don't know the exact extent of it but according to the history books the size and shape is similar to a beef steak, strange assimilation I know but we'll move on." Arthur then began to draw small outlines inside the steak.
"There are altogether according to our most recent information, 58 kingdoms on this continent divided and fragmented in the northern part of the continent, this includes our Golian kingdom." Arthur said explaining and making a risk separating the South from the North, "And what's on the South side?" Leona asked raising her eyebrow in curiosity and bending down to look closer, "The southern side of the continent is uninhabited, composed of dozens of forests and mountains, legend has it that 350 years ago a great volcano exploded there and destroyed all human civilizations there since then no one has dared to expand the territory in that direction." He said looking thoughtfully towards the south side of the continent before continuing his explanation.
" Anyway, the Golian Kingdom is here, between the sea on the west side, the southern border below, the great river above and our neighbor the Pisvi Kingdom that has maintained friendly relations with us since the creation of the two kingdoms 150 years ago ." Arthur's explanation was very detailed and he calmly took Leona's doubts and answered what he could for her.
"What is this big river?"
" The great river is literally a gigantic river that runs through the middle of the continent and its branches extend to all countries, small fishing boats use it to acquire their fish supplies. The river starts in the sea just above us and when it reaches half of the steak splits in 3 directions, one to the south, one to the north and the last one goes to the east, in the middle of these 3 directions there are several smaller rivers."
"Ohhh." Leona exclaimed and placed her hand on her chin thoughtfully, when she was about to ask Arthur something more a messenger quickly approached them, "Prince Arthur, the King is calling you to a meeting between him the ministers and the general!" The messenger was panting and didn't even notice Leona on Arthur's side, he quickly explained the situation to him and when he lifted his eyes to look at Leona he just stood there for a while, "Do I see a woman beaming like the sun?" He said before falling to the ground on his back passed out from fatigue.
Leona looked at the messenger for a moment and nudged him to see if he was alive, Arthur beside her quickly assimilated the messenger's information and prepared to leave.
"I'm just going to have a meeting with my dad, hope you can excuse me for now." Arthur said and apologized in a gentlemanly way, "No problem, I'll actually go with you." She said after thinking a bit and Arthur who was walking towards the exit stopped for a moment and looked back.
"No, I'm sure I wouldn't want to be in a meeting as boring as this one." He said sweating heavily and attracting Leona's curiosity, "I don't care, I wonder what you guys are going to discuss at this meeting."
"No need seriously, you wouldn't like it."
"No but I insist I'm curious."
"Sorry but it's realm affairs I can't allow strangers in!"
"Don't worry, you didn't call me here yourself so I'm not a stranger and it would be rude to refuse a lady more than 3 times." Leona finally stated smiling mischievously.
Arthur, realizing that he had no way out, backed slowly back before running away trying to escape her but in the next moment he found himself in the air with two hands holding him on either side, "Now, shall we?" Leona said again and tucked Arthur under her arm like a bag.
