Empire Of Jadase: New Day - Chapter 11

More than an 1 hour had passed before the light show comes at its end. All the people who attended the Imperial Grand Ball congratulated the Third Prince for this decades hosting of the Grand Ball, even Beru and Zion greeted him respectfully. As a Prince, they know how to run the Kingdom’s social affairs, therefore they are adept in dealing their personal matters.

“Congratulations for the hosting of this spectacular night, Desu.” Said Beru smiling widely. He then walked passed them together with his associates towards the platform going back to the Fire Kingdom.

“It’s been a great night for us, Desu. I hope you’ll host this Ball again in the next decade.” Told to him by Zion formally. He then vanished together with his companions into thin air and reappeared in the bay where their spacecraft is at.

After all the people went out of the luxurious large room where the Grand Ball was held, Laquadia then began to say goodbye to Desu together with Frozal and Pozial. They are the last people to leave because they went into another conversation regarding the new law and sometimes they will talk about Mozti.

“I really wanted to meet that kid, he must be a great person to catch your attention, Laquadia.” Frozal said before departing with his associates.

“Thank you for this day, Desu you hosted it well as what they all said. Well, it’s my turn next time to host it. I wish I’ll do it better than you. Hahahaha.” Pozial told him cheerfully. Actually, hosting a Grand Ball is picked through lottery to determine the time your hosting this event.

“Pozial, I think I must congratulate you in advance for hosting the Imperial Olympics next year. That is a momentous occasion in the Empire. You’ll not only accommodate people like us but also the Lower Individuals. I’m sure your Kingdom will be filled with people next year.” Desu replied to him happily. He knows how busy Pozial is this time.

The Imperial Olympics is held every 50 years. It is joined by millions of delegation from the 7 Kingdoms who competes for being a powerhouse in sports. Actually in the Empire the third place is given a gold medal, the second place is given an emerald medal while the first place is given a diamond medal.

“No problem, Desu. I believe your Kingdom will get the most Olympic Medals again.” Pozial said to him merrily.

“Well, it is not me whom you have to cheer it is the person beside you.” Desu replied to him looking at Laquadia mockingly.

“It’s not my fault we don’t have enough people to compete in the Olympics. There’s too many people who wanted to be an army in my Kingdom, at least we had a good delegation and had progressed a lot last time. But I assure the both of you this time we will get that no. 1 spot.” Laquadia looked at them with a determined look in his face. It had been his dream a long time ago to make the Ice Kingdom a sports powerhouse but it had always been lacking with people to fight for that place.

“Well, I have nothing to say more. I hope will meet again next time.” After Pozial said those words he the followed by his companions out of the room and to the platform.

“I think I also need to go, Desu. See you around. I know it had been a stressful day for you, well now is the right time to cool yourself.” Laquadia spoke to him casually and disappeared into thin air and reappeared in a spacecraft where Deisham and Neros are waiting.

“Tell the Captain to start the engine and head directly to the Emproza Kingdom.” Laquadia ordered Neros somberly and entered the spacecraft.

The Emproza Kingdom is known to be the Land of the Emperors because three quarters of it, is controlled by the Emperor himself. The remaining belonged to the Celestial Imperial Parliament, the land area they controlled is small because the Kingdom is not the main headquarters of the CIP but rather the Planet Siztrupa. He went to Emproza because the information he had inquired from his people inside told him that the Empress is in there. Laquadia don’t have any idea what he is going to say when he sees the Empress. He needs to make sure that he can change the Empress’s mind towards the new law.

‘I need to find a way to change her mind before it’s too late.’ Laquadia told himself with a determined thought.

“My Prince, we are approaching the Emproza within 10 minutes.” Neros told him respectfully. Neros didn’t became a Fleet Commander for nothing, he knows why his Prince is somber after he appeared in front of them back in the Earth Kingdom. He also heard about this so called charter change the CIP is passing.

“Sorry, my Prince. I and Neros is powerless regarding this matter, we cannot help you this time.” Deisham said towards Laquadia with a sorry look. He and Neros is always beside Laquadia every time he had a problem but today’s situation is different.

“It’s okay, Deisham. You are with me through the ups and downs of my life in the past thousands of years. I don’t need your help this time, thank you for the concern.” Laquadia told Deisham in the eye thankfully. He is not that kind of person to say ‘thank you’, but he is now grateful to have this people with him. He knows thanking them is not enough to show how much he appreciate the camaraderie they had for so many years.

After Laquadia said those words, the room inside the spacecraft became quite again. Without anything to say Neros and Deisham left him pondering the thoughts he have regarding the things he needs to do later. 10 minutes had passed and then they saw many tall governmental buildings that strikes through the sky. He then saw the a shining light above a 900 tall structure. Which is the Empire’s Sun and the structure is no other than the Imperial House of Royal Bloods. His destination is not on that building but on the western direction of that building where a palatial structure with a thousands of flowers around it can be seen growing, it looks like a place only for women. This structure is one of the Celestial Imperial Parliament building of the Empress herself. This is not actually the most luxurious CIP building in the Empire but it is still majestic.

“Where here, my Prince.” This time only Deisham went in to his room and told him that they are already in their destination.

“Tell the Captain to land on the southern section of the CIP.” He said casually and sat again silently in the side table.

Deisham didn’t say another word and directly went into the cockpit and told the Captain the instruction told him to do. After 5 more minutes, they then landed on cemented platform beside a statue of a beautiful middle aged woman. This is statue is no other than that of the Empress she wears a palatial gown in this statue and a white crown on his head looking directly towards the sky. As soon as the spacecraft had landed, Laquadia and his subordinates went out and heads directly towards the southern entrance of the CIP. There can be seen 10 women guarding the entrance wearing a golden armor with a phoenix emblem on their right chest. When they saw the First Prince, they then began to pull their spear that have an electricity on the other side of it that have a 10,000 voltage to stop him from entering. It is obvious that they are waiting for him to come. Furious he summoned a frost fire dragon with a length of 300 meters and controlled it midair.

“Let me in on that door, or I’ll slam this dragon onto all of you.” He said with a burning eyes and a furious look on his face.

“First Prince, you know you cannot hurt us.” The woman in the center told Laquadia with a warning look.

“Let’s see then after this dragon went into your body.” Laquadia then waved his hand to move the dragon towards the 10 women. But before he could do it someone interfered him. And spoke in an alarmed tone.

“Stop it! Let them through!” Said a woman at the back of the 10 women wearing a golden armor like that of the others but she had a black robe on her armor. They know that they cannot stop the First Prince even if they fight till death, but today is not a necessary step to fight to death with this powerful man. The Empress only ordered them to stop him at the entrance but if the problem gets more severe he had to be let in the Parliament building.

After Laquadia heard what the woman had said, he then waved his hand clockwise and the dragon had vanished. He them stormed into the entrance of the building going to the Empress’s room.

“Laquadia, how brave of you.” Said a gorgeous woman wearing a blue palatial gown with a cold voice when he went inside an impressively decorated room.

“Your Highness, I am not in favor of the charter change.” This woman is no other the Empress herself. Laquadia didn’t given any bow towards her, and she understands what that meant in her part.

“Are you making a rebellion towards me, Laquadia?” The Empress asked him with a domineering fashion.

“I am not planning to have a rebellion against you, but if it is necessary I will because I know I can.” Replied Laquadia with an overbearing confidence towards the woman in front of him.

“Bring it on then, I don’t care. I just wanted to tell you that my decision is final, unless…” Said the Empress with a meaningful glint on her eyes.

“Unless, what?” Asked Laquadia incensed. He do not want this kind of conversation with this cunning woman. He knows that she had planned this kind of situation already through and through trapping him without any reason to decline what she wanted to make him do.

“Unless, you’d destroy the Durtians. They are in my nerves for years now. I never did like the way they talk to us Jadasians, they insulted us. I had already told you about them a long time ago but you never did pay any attention into it.” Said the Empress grinning. She knows she had won again, she had planned this a very long time. When she knew about the feelings he had inside his heart she grabbed the opportunity greedily and didn’t hold back anything, even making him so infuriated. Actually, Laquadia is not his son in blood. People just say that the Empress is his Mother because he is always subjugated over and over again by the Empress’s scheme towards him like that of a mother will always do to their son.

Laquadia never thought that the Empress would make something unimaginable towards him. He gave a long deep breath and said in a frustrated manner.

“I hope you’ll keep your words, your Highness.” He really needs to insure that doing what the Empress wanted him to do will guarantee him the chance to save Serah.

“Of course, Laquadia. I never made a broken promise before.” Said the Empress with a meaningful look on her face. “I assure you that. I know you believes in me.”

“Those Durtians, what made you to be that angry towards them.” Laquadia didn’t reply to what the Empress had said but made another conversation.

“They are now allying their nation to the Guimduras Republic. It will be a great threat to the Empire, and before it will, I want you to destroy their nation, the Empire of Durtan.” The Empress said in a very serious tone.

The Guimduras Republic is one of the most powerful faction in the Bizir Galaxy. It had many allies that can threaten the Empire. The Durtians are a lizard like beings that have wings. They are approximately 10 meters in height. They have an intelligence like that of a human and have a powerful army that can topple unorganized battalion in a single attack.

“Can’t Beru do it or the others?” He said referring to the other Princes of the Empire.

“Beru have many things to do, Pozial is preparing for the Imperial Olympics, Frozal is in the midst of training his Armada, Desu have just finished hosting the Imperial Grand Ball while Zion cannot leave his research about new technologies of the Empire, actually he never leaves the Empire. As for you, I believe you are more capable of handling everything.” The Empress told him knowledgeably about all the information she had gathered from the past few days.

“What ‘many things Beru is doing’ meant by your words, your Highness?” Laquadia asked her full of curiosity.

“Don’t worry Laquadia, it will not affect you.” Replied the Empress reassuringly.

“I agree.” Laquadia said confidently. “I’ll prepare my people and my Fleet. We’ll leave as soon as I finished organizing them. What’s the Durtians coordinates?” He asked towards the Empress casually.

“35Y,89X. That’s the coordinates, find it in the map of the Bizir Galaxy. It is a month travel before you can enter their system.” The Empress replied to him nonchalantly.

“Okay then. I’m going now and I’ll be back within five months.” Laquadia told her and then leave the room towards the entrance where Deisham and Neros is waiting perturbed. As soon as they saw him, they asked him immediately with a curious manner.

“What is her Highness’s decision, my Prince?” Deisham asked him anxiously.

“Mobilize 500,000 troops and 45 Fleets we’re going to war.” He said with a commanding voice without replying to Deisham’s question.

“At war? With whom?” Neros is the one who asked anxiously this time.

“With the Empire of Durtan.” Replied Laquadia with a complacent look in all over his face and walked pass them towards the spacecraft they had boarded from before.
