"Is that how the other nations are run, you automatically get a high position just because you are powerful… that's just a way to breed incompetent people" The Newcomer said disapproving
Hearing her, the lady turned to her only to see that she was serious. She didn't understand why anyone would disapprove of such a method, for one to become powerful enough to even be recognized by her, it usually means that they are competent. Ater all, an incompetent person can never become that powerful.
Of course, like in practically everything, there was always the exceptions but those were rare so in her opinion, it was a very good way of governance.
"Why do you say so" The lady asked
"Governing a place isn't the same as just protecting it, to ensure a truly successful nation, you need different departments focused on different things and if a person gets an official position just because they are powerful, it wouldn't take long before the entire nation falls to ruins" The newcomer explains
"Never thought of it that way, thanks for the lesson" The lady said
"Well then let's go" The newcomer said as she gracefully jumped down from, the room of the large storey building
Behind her was the lady who could be seen somehow walking on the air. Coupled with her dress and aura, she looked as majestic as possible truly matching her status as a Queen.
"Holy shit, she was walking on air" a new voice was suddenly heard prompting the two to turn towards its source
Looking just a few meters away from them, the two were faced with a man who was standing in between two guards. A human, standing in between the two towering guards, he looked more like a dwarf than a human but even then, he was taller than his majesty.
"Who are you?" The Newcomer asked
"My Lady!" The guards greeted with a bow which the newcomer responded to with a nod
"Who's he?" she asked with clear annoyance in her voice
The two stood as they watched the guards and the human who stood behind them. Each one with different expressions on their face. One was incredibly tired and annoyed while the other had extreme curiosity written all over her face.
"We are yet to confirm however, he is a governor" the guard replied
"You, explain yourself" the newcomer ordered
"That is not how you address a guest, Luna, they like her, have every right to return or stay in the capital" a new voice said reprimanding the newcomer
"You say that because you're not the one dealing with them" Luna complained to the which the owner of the new voice simply chuckled
Looking in the direction of the new voice, all of them could see a lady in high ranking military uniform, descending from the sky. The aura around her commanded respect and almost automatically, this caused the guards and the human behind them to immediately fall to the floor in worship.
"True" the new lady said agreeing with Luna's statement
"Holy shit!" The governor suddenly said in weird excitement as nearly all of them could hear his heartbeat increase
"It's you, you're that lady Monarch" The governor said as he pointed towards the lady, Athena
None of the others seemed familiar to him but Athena was a being practically all the governors and many of the Lords were familiar with.
"What do you mean by that?" Euroa asked curiously
"She defeated that lich with just one strike… just one strike!" The governor shouted excitedly
With just a single look at him, they could tell that he was a very big fan of Athena and none of them questioned his fandom after all, it made sense.
If they were weak as the governor was and they watched a powerful being defeat another equally powerful being with nothing but a single strike of her axe, they too would be a fan.
Euroa especially couldn't blame him because like him, there were also many fans of Athena in herniation due to the live broadcast of said fight.
"I see you're a fan, I am pleased however for now, if you will, please follow the guards to the hotel, I believe you must be tired from your travel" Athena said in such a calm tone that even Luna was surprised.
"Thank you" The governor replied
"Wait, Hotel?... there are already hotels here" The governor asked surprised for some reason
understood what was so special about hotels that made it had to believe that one existed in the capital.
The man found it hard to believe that his king had managed to create a fully functioning hotel in his territory but after thinking about all he had seen so far, He immediately began laughing
The three monarchs also stood and watched as he followed after the guards who led him to the hotel. None of them understood what was so special about hotels that made it had to believe that one existed in the capital.
Choosing not to think too much about it, they all focused on what had brough them here. For Athena, it was simply the presence of Euroa along with the unknown weak aura belonging to the Governor. For Luna, it was also Euroa and for Euroa it was simply to observe or currently because luna dragged her down from her observation deck.
"Now for you, what are you even doing here, you have your nation to attend to, don't you?" Athena asked
"Like i initially said, i am just here to observe"
"So, you're a spy then" Athena asked
"What?.... What is with you people, now, i am just here to understand the government my nation is under" Euroa complained as the two smiled and chuckled at her reaction

Change of POV
It was early in the morning and I could be seen standing in front of a large building. The building was the hotel made for us, the governors to stay in.
This one was just a 5-floored building and somehow featured the most luxurious decorations i have ever seen in a place. Well then again, i didn't grow up rich so practically everything here was beautiful to me.
Looking around, many other governors could be seen either sitting under the shade on the massive garden provided in the compound or just exploring the place like i was.
I can't really say much or even do much like grading the compound like many of the other lords were since i have never being to a hotel before.
However even to my untrained eye, everything looked good, the service was great even though all the staff in the hotel towered over us.
"Come to think of it, is everyone in this territory this tall" i heard one of the governors complain after one of the hotel staff walked by
The one talking could be seen standing near one of the natives, an Elf to be precise who could be seen standing guard at the gates of the building.
For a human, the man could be considered tall and seemed to stand at a height of about six feet or so, but the Elf towered over him like he was some garden gnome or something.
It was probably due to the existence of magic or some other unknown element, but every native seemed to possess a similar or even towering height.
Not like short kings like us could complain, we have always been looked down on for a long time so this makes no difference.
"Sir, your map is ready, though i would advise that you stick to the visitor-safe zones, any attempt into restricted areas may and will lead to your death depending on the area" the receptionist said as she handed over a folded map
The territory wasn't that big, so the map was practically useless but well if i hadn't asked for it, i wouldn't have known there were restricted areas in the territory. Honestly though would a city this small even have restricted areas
Just a look from a high point would let one see everything so what was there to hide.
"You know, your mind is awfully active, but you refuse to associate your peers" a voice suddenly commented making me turn towards its owner
Turning to the source of the voice, I was faced with the most beautiful face i had ever seen in my life.
"Ah!" i screamed in shock due to the proximity
"Oh, I'm sorry, i didn't realize your kind was this squirmish" the lady said as she stood upright revealing her towering nature
The lady stood at a height of over 7 feet tall and featured such clear skin that she looked more like a doll than a living being.
However differentiating her from practically everyone was the crown on her head and the ears that stuck out of her hair. She was an Elf and from the looks of things, a royal.
"No, no, don't worry... I just wasn't expecting anyone to do that" I replied
"I see" the lady replied
