[POV Asher]
After the visit to the markets, we went to the central district and learned about the existence of guild.
Many prominent guilds who operated in dolonde had their headquarters here there exists quite a variety of guilds merchants guilds, mercenary guilds and information guilds which functions are quite obvious.
After some time on the streets two Imperial Officers of the colony informed us to meet with Aria in the Imperial Headquarters of the Colony which was located in the centre of the military district restricted to only military personnel.
After a little bit of travel time, we arrived in room which looked like a office with a desk and chair in front of a window and in the middle were two couches standing opposite each other and a small table in between with a weird looking device.
Aria sat on one side stood up and greeted me
"Hello Guildmaster Asher how was your tour through the colony"
"Well it was a good tour" I said
I motioned my magma guards to stand outside of the room and with Vincent I got into the room.
I sat down on the opposite side of the princess and Vincent stood behind me like a guard similar to the princess attendant.
We both in sitting posture smiled at each other it was quite tense that you could nearly see lightning sparks.
Since this was now a negation for my reward I assumed, I had to be quite serious which leads to this awkward silence in the room, but luckily the princess broke the ice first.
"Ahem do you still have the card I gave you?"
"Yes, hmm don´t say you want your money back" I retorted
"No! I will upload the reward from the emperor to the card." Said Aria angrily with a cute expression in my eyes.
"Okay, here it is" I gave her the card which now holds 70.000 coins
After I gave her the card, she stuck it into the weird looking device and after a minute the card came out again.
"Hmph here is your money back with the emperors reward off one million coins"
"Wow" I was stunned rescuing a princess and I can get one million quite generous.
"But this is not the only thing you asked us to come, no? I inquired
"Yes, your ship has attracted a lot of attention and it is only a matter of time before various forces will attempt to snatch your ship and technology"
"Therefore, we have a proposal the imperial family will register a military guild under its name which will be your "vest".
"But there must be a catch to such a good proposal, no?" I asked
"Yes under our name you have various privileges and you can freely operate in most regions of the galaxy, but to ensure you don´t tarnish the family name a advisor of the imperial family will always travel with you"
"And who will be that Advisor or Supervisor?"
"I- I will" said Princess Aria shyly
´Hmm with such a deal we will be able to avoid a lot of trouble until we are strong enough to take on the entire galaxy and the only disadvantage will be that we will be monitored´ I thought contemplating about the proposal
"Okay before I agree I want to learn more about you the Advisor before I take you with me"
"Tell me why exactly where you attacked before?"
"Sigh, okay my father send me here to oversee the construction of new mining facilities on a planet and reinforce the garrison"
"But since I have a new task someone other will come and take over that mission which was supposed to be a secret"
"Since it was a secret mission why where you ambushed" I asked
"I suppose one of my two older brothers leaked the information to the republic since I am a thorn in their eyes because I am the most doted on in my family"
"I have read that you also have older sisters why are they not included in your suspicion"
"What I tell you must be kept as a secret. Understood?"
Aria stared straight into my eyes with seriousness and I nodded
"We sisters made a tactic agreement that my eldest sister the most suitable to inherit the throne will be helped by us other sisters, because we don´t want to be sold of into another country by the form of marriage if one of my older brothers get the throne" said Aria with a sad expression.
´So that's why she was attacked I just hope we won´t be entangled in the imperial court in the future. Sigh even Imperial family members don´t have it easy´ I thought
"Okay then I welcome Advisor Aria onboard to the Guild of Emerald Moonlight" I said and Aria expression immediately became brighter.
"The pleasure is the same" said Aria while we shook hands
"I will leave Vincent and some Magma Guards here to complete the necessary procedures and return first back to the resurgent"
"Okay till later said Aria while waving me goodbye.
After saying goodbye, I and the rest of my guards boarded the transport ship which was stocked full with food supplies making it crammed standing in it.
Luckily after a few minutes we were on the resurgent.
After arriving I immediately ordered for a general meeting in the war room with all the generals to discuss about our findings and experience in the colony and our next future plans.
