I Should Be The Villain, Right? - Chapter 47

After spending a night at the guest house in the Fiery City, we traveled to my fiance place called Bavalotia. His father bestow him the rank of Baron as he given the region. His territory quite far from the city, about 2 hours flight with our air carrier. Before beginning of our journey, we attended the festival that been held in the city, celebrating the new year. Different from my country, they celebrating the new year festival in the Darkness week, all the six days but our traditional new year fest will only begin in the first day after the week.

The celebration of the new year here even though different time and duration, still have similar event like lion dance, temple praying and new year dish. My future father in-law need to attend the celebration as the Lord, giving his speech and formalize the event with ribbon cutting. After finishing his job there, finally we begin our travel to the Bavalotia. I tried to ask my mother in-law about his son city, unfortunately, not even the Lord father in-law know about it. They said that this is their first visit to Bavalotia and only heard about the rumors from their underlings. The city itself only established in few months, but the big merchants and traders from the Fiery City already attracted to the place.

Even his cousin, Eliza who owns the Eliza Authorities company, move her headquarters to the unknown new city of Wu Tian. Those move quite bold as a businesswoman that just built up her company. Nevertheless, her move doesn’t effected her at all. As the only distributor of rare product like mayonnaise, the traders and merchants forced to buy their stuff by visiting the new city. Thanks to her efforts, the city become known to the merchants and traders, eventually spreading the news to others.

The city actually have a weird rumors about it. The city divide by two sanctuary, the outer and inner. All the traders, merchants, and outsiders who came to this city only allowed to enter the business district, which located at the only entrance to enter the city. The normal people who become the citizens of the city will allow to enter other district in the outer sanctuary, but not the inner place. The inner sanctuary is set only for the slaves that belong to Wu Tian. While talking about that, it’s seems that Wu Tian has brought not only hundreds or thousands, but nearly a million slaves around the dimension. Not only the human race, but other inhuman tribe, such as werebeast, demon kin, and many more without any prejudice. They speculating about the inner sanctuary; the heavens of beauty or the hell of l.u.s.t? I don’t understand about the l.u.s.t part, but I hope that those slaves getting. good care by my future husband.

The distance between the Fiery City to Bavalotia take about 2 hours flight. Well, I already familiar with the travel after flying 3 days straight to Fiery City from Sakura Empire. When our air carrier arrived at our destination, I can see the city, full of exotic and unique architecture buildings, look fascinating from the far. I tried to enjoy the view but my sight suddenly been blocked with the appearance of the flying maids. Yes, I confirmed it twice while pinching my cheek and consulting with my head knight that also wear the maid attires.

“Can’t you fly like them?”

“Your highness, don’t joke around!” Ah, she getting mad at me.

It may sound weird but the squad of battle maids already surrounded us. Not only that, the squads follow by the different type of flying things, with a trace of people inside it and having a fan like thing on the top of it, waiting with cautiously before taking any action. Surprisingly, the flying thing completed with a gattling like weapon, which I encounter at the Duke Oda place when I visit there. Actually, the air carrier that Oda clan owns does equip with the gattling guns and cannons, but the vassal that I use exclusively for traveling. The weapons quite heavy so without it, we can travel faster.

After few moment later, finally the status quo situation ended with one of the flying maid squad, maybe the leader, went near to the air carrier, the cabin part and greeting us.

“Sorry for alerting issues, we wanted to confirm about this vassal, and realized that it’s belong to our Lord fiancee. I, Shiro welcome all of you to our humble place…” The white tiger girl, that I realized her race after she getting near, speak loudly outside our air carrier cabin.

“We also apologize the sudden appearance of our air carrier, and requesting the permission to land here…” The air carrier captain response to her greeting.

“Sure, please follow our guidance…” She given the signal to her squads and guiding the ship to the open space that suitable for us to land.

As expected, we landed outside of the city. Before we can enter the place, we need to register ourself at the office located near the entrance. We need to register for the safety concerns and after finishing up the procedure, we given a weird bangle and asked to wear it all the time in this city. The office quite busy with the registrations from those people who wanted to live here, but luckily we don’t need to queue like them because of our status. After that, our delegates picked by a weird vehicle, more comfortable that my magical bus, but much smaller. They drive us to the management building, which located to the entrance of the inner sanctuary. The wall of inner sanctuary much taller than the first main entrance wall, so majestic with the design. When I step out from the vehicle and enter the building, I can see the interior of the place that can’t be described by me. Even my father palace can hold a candle here, not to mention the noble mansions.

“Hey, don’t you know that I am the first prince?! Why can’t I be allowed to join the ceremony inside the inner sanctuary?!” My focus on the beautiful building distracted by the loud sound of that guy. My knight already make their move to guard me while the Prime Minister, Duke Takeda already put his hand on his katana.

“It’s already decided that only four people from representative country that allowed to attend the special ceremony place. You, sir will be asked to follow the instructions or we make sure that you will be banned to step in this city, even in Outer Sanctuary.” The lovely lady that standing on the counter says the word with her smiling face, but not reflecting it on her sharp eyes.

“I remember this!” He finally give up and left the counter. His escorts try to calm him down, before he left the premise.

“Welcome the thievery cat.. I mean her highness, the first princess delegates with her escorts from the Sakura Empire.” The receptionist women greet us with monotonous voice, but still acting friendly and full of hospitality.

“Didn’t you say thievery cat just now?”

“Prime Minister, you just imagine it. As per order of our Lord, I will announce it to our esteemed guests for follow it all…” The woman just ignores the complaint of my Prime Minister and told us about the ceremony. It’s seems like I can only enter the Inner Sanctuary with three other representative on my side, which will be held the bestowing noble rank ceremony and also the announcement of my engagement with the Lord of this city.

We walked out from the room and been guided to a special vehicle, which much bigger and longer than my magical bus. We allowed to bring our things, even the weapon. I can see Duke Takeda surprise face, but he maintaining his cool. We take our seat, and I choose to sit near the window. The vehicle begun to move after the announcement of our guide. The vehicle called monorail move on the rail that hanging on big pole. Our ride quite thrilled as the monorel move to the above side of the small mountain in front of us.

“He never told me about this, that brat…” It’s seems that the father in-law doesn’t know anything about this fantastic things.

“My little Tian never disappointed me….” The beautiful mother in-law response differently, showing her happy mood after showing a little hostile to me. I can see lots of building below the me as I ‘flying’ with this monorail in the sky. My excitement of watching the view ends less than five minutes after the monorail getting close to the small mountain.

I thought that his house above the mountain, but my conjecture when wrong. The mountain itself is the palace of Wu Tian. When the monorail enter the cave and stopped at the station, inside the mountain is not what I knew or predicted at all. Inside the mountain, consist of 50 story building, excluded the underground floors. The first five floors are the Wu Tian residential area, with the highest floor still closed for any visitors. We been guided to our spesific room by the guide there. The place quite beautiful, decorated with wonderful lights and painting. I also surprised that the floor and the wall are shining, covered by unseen stone, while the air inside the place feel so comfortable.

“What the hell… Aren’t we going to invite this monster to our country….” Duke Takeda become more paler and paler each time he stepped further in Wu Tian territory. He whispered his concerns to his aid, who actually been speechless too. Both of them actually the hater of new technologies, always claim that the traditional way is the honored life of warriors. Those stupid might want to change their mind after looking to my future husband wealth and strength.

I placed with my head maid, AKA my knight leader into same room. Although the size of the room not big as mine in the palace, the room completed with toilet and hot tub bath. The room itself have special air conditioner, much better than my magical bus, completed with the massive luxury bed and all the grand furniture, blew up my mind. The guide that bringing me here to my room demonstrate how to use the applicants and facilities here, and the last thing that make me shocked is, none of that need any Mana or monster core to operate it. My magical bus consume lots of our Mana as the fuel or power for the bus applicants and tools, but none of that in this large building.

Tired been shocked all time, I enter the hot tub bath that been prepared by my head maid. She been taught by the guide who to use it, so I ask her to prepare it right away. My shocking moment still doesn’t ended after taking the most comfortable bath with my head maid. The first thing is the shampoo things, unlike our country that use flower oil extracted as the soap, very smoothing and cleaned up our body while making the skin beautiful. Not only that, I have my hair washed with the other kind shampoo, making my hair silkier and beautiful. I not saying that I am a most beautiful girl in the dimension, but after using the product, I feel that I become one. My head maid also join me as I helped her washing her hair and boom… she also become much beautiful woman, unlike her ordinary hey day!

“Princess, let stay here, forever….”

“Hey hey… You shouldn’t said that! That’s my word, you should give me the advice not to do that!”

“Look like I have new master to serve. Good bye my dear princess…”

“No no, you joking around right?!”

Well, our stupid conversation keep going until our bath session ended. I feel dizziness attacking me so we put our bathrobe and coming out from the bathroom. We sit on the comfortable sofa and having our time. In few minutes after we taking our time, the door been knocked, as the guide invited us for the lunch. Actually the lunch time been hours ago, but we too immersed with the surrounding and forgotten our meals.

The foods, well, I’m too tired getting shocked again, too delicious, make me wonder that the food that I eat in my life are really edible one. All the participants, except the Wu Tian family and his relatives, having a silent moment of lunch, because they too busy eating the delish foods, that they never encounter anywhere. Just wanted you to know that I never thought to disagree with my brother arrangements if my engagement until now, but today, I will thank him for his brilliant idea. The lunch session ended with the appearance of my future husband, but the head maid of the place, the most normal looking human among the maids, announced that Wu Tian will join us in the dinner, so we the guests will have our audience with him later on.

After resting awhile at the designed place, we been guided by the head maid to explore the magnificent building. We taking the evaluator and went to the base floor. We been explained by the head maid about the each floors that we visited. There are many shop in the first five floors, selling the luxurious products and unknowns items. The guests wanted to buy but prohibited by the head maid as the products only for the show at the moment. The other floors consist of the government departments, but still I enjoyed visiting it.

The building quite large, more bigger than the whole palace area in Sakura Empire, but we didn’t tired much traveling around. In each story, there are a special device on the floor that move us around while stepping on it. When we wanted to go upstairs, we used the escalator that been prepared in the building. By the way, the Wu Tian family join us too, and I find myself that they also having the first time experience visiting the building. After a few hours of exciting moment, we retire to our room, rest for awhile before having our dinner with the Lord of this place, Wu Tian.

We move to the dining hall at the night after been informed by the maid. This time, Wu Tian parents, his cousin, Eliza, the group of his slaves, which the higher up in the Bavalotia, joining the dinner. Wu Tian still not making his appearance, but I can feel nervous atmosphere around us. Suddenly while we waiting, the air around us been disturbed by fierce aura, spontaneously make my head maid in her battle stance to protect me. Duke Takeda even almost pull out his katana, but stopped after the looking at the appearance of the main character that we waiting for. Beside him, the source of the aura, the elderly person walk together with him.

“Father!” The father in-law open his mouth, spoken the word. That’s mean, the elderly person is my grandfather in-law, one of the powerful being in this dimension.

“Sorry for waiting and sudden appearance, my guest. I, Wu Tian wanted to welcome you all to my humble home. Please be seated and enjoy your time here having our modest meals.” Wu Tian guided his grandfather to his seat, and said those sentence, to humor us.

After few exchange of greetings from each representatives, we begin our dinner. I didn’t have any chance to have any conversation with him, as the Duke become my spokesperson. I wander if he really a innocent almost seven years old boy. His height already passed me, fifteen years old girl this coming year, and I can feel the a.d.u.l.t aura from him like my father. Even my brother caliber can’t be compared to the young man with a single digit of age like him. Ah, I thought that there are no surprise after this, but the dinner meal more delicious and I been served out of world dessert, the refreshing one.

The next day, the invited guests having our breakfast, which also different meal and tasty too from our ordinary one. I already give up from getting surprise again, and accept this as an usual things here. Those thoughts might shared by other. The ceremony begin after the breakfast and we been gathered at the ceremonial hall, much bigger and grander than the dining hall. The event attendance might be small, but this ceremony been view by all the citizens on the big screen outside the building.

The Duke Takeda become more nervous after one by one noble rank have been bestowed upon Wu Tian in the ceremony. Our country turn are at the end, so the Duke become more nervous, even misspoken and granted Wu Tian a Count title. I thought, Wu Tian will given Baron rank but as the person who become the royalty family in the future, Duke Takeda doesn’t have any choice but to make the sudden decision. He also announced our engagement, and by that moment, Wu Tian officially become my fiance.

After the ceremony ended, we guided by the maid to enjoy the lunch in the dining hall. Excuse me for not explaining the meal as it’s already getting bored for me being exciting all the time. Well, it’s delicious, and different type of meal too. My delegates will depart after the lunch, so Wu Tian joining the event together with the guests. Finally, we have our first conversation after the meal. We exchange our greeting, and take me quite spirit to face the shining star of noble world and my future wonderful husband.

“Hi princess, sorry for ignoring you on your visit. I glad that you here, visiting me at my humble home…”

“Oh no, Tian-sama, it’s been my honor to meet you here and enjoy my stay in very heaven place like here. Please called me Nadeshiko, my Lord.”

“It’s that so? Thanks Nadeshiko for your compliment. Hahaha….” Even though he spoken like that, it’s not even a little piece of arrogance on his tone. The Prime Minister, Duke Takeda smiling awkwardly, expressing his uneasiness after he talking to me like fellow acquaintance, ignoring the honorific to me.

“Lord Tian, I hope you will visit our country and guiding your bestowed territory like this place…” Duke Takeda still showing his respect to him, saying those sarcasm words.

“Okay, no problems. I will be there after my graduation ceremony, see you soon…” Wu Tian don’t even care about what we try to say but nonchalantly answer his expectation like nothing.

“Thank you for the hospitality, Wu Tian-sama. I hope that we will meet again.”

“Don’t worry about that, I will visit you later before I enter the Cultivation world.”

I wanted to spend more time together with him, but Duke Takeda ended our conversation and hastened our departure, as he wanted to take some measurements after realizing that he already stepped on the tiger tail. As for me, this is wonderful miscalculation, and I gain a very powerful ally to help me achieve my ambition; to become the Empress!
