The Seven Founding Fathers Revitalize the Kingdom

Meeting

The Kingdom of Ametus navy ships is composed of 15 inland galleys. They stood no chance against the beast of the ships that lay waste in coast theaters in the world war two era.

Cannons and gunpowder are completely non-existent in the west. By just seeing world war two era ships on the horizon indicate complete decimation if two sides were to engage in battle.

An RHIB deployed in the Yamato battleships cruises all the way to the port of York. Where bystanders and passersby who were gazing at the steel beast floating in the sea are stunned. They saw a ship made of steel and also small but the speed of those ships is twenty times faster than galleys.

“Is the eastern continent going to attack us?”

“How did they create that ship?”

“Hey, it's similar to the ships that the kingdom is building!”

“Seriously?”

*Tugtugtugtugtugtugtugtug.

The sound of the banging helicopter interrupted the conversation from the worried locals of the port. The helicopter hovers until landing on the flat ground. Meanwhile, The Empress of the Baharuth, her sister, and chancellor were also stunned at the flying object that had just landed ten meters away from each other.

Locals who were present in the area are looking dubiously at the three figures who seem to be high-ranking. Their ostentatious dress and uniforms. signifies that they are not from here but rather from the east.

The empress royal guards began to take their stance by securing the perimeter of the Empress. Two beautiful figures surrounded by valiant knights of the East wore an exquisite kimono and the young man behind them wore a formal suit.

The Empress looked around and noticed the cautious looks of the locals. Some of the men who were just in the saloon sighed in admiration. They looked like a goddess that descended from the earth.

“The west is surely far behind than I imagined,” Andrea said.

“What do you expect from the barbarians? If it’s not for the Demon Empire, we might as well invade the west and take their lands” Her sister replied proudly.

“Your mindset is clearly a barbarian. You hate them but you think like them” Andrea retorted.

“Anyway, the door of the helicopter seems to be opening.” Kazuma pointed. Interrupting the two.

The door of the helicopter opened slowly and a girl on par with their beauty stepped out. She was a young girl with blonde hair.

The woman who got out of the helicopter cautiously approached them but with a resolute manner. She will meet the Empress of the world superpower.

The Empress guards begin to act protectively to their Empress as they point their AK-47 semi-automatic rifle at the young lady.

Lumi who was unfazed as she approached them began to freeze at her location. It was a weapon similar to the invention of the founding fathers. She witnessed its firepower and a deadly small lump of metals that once pierced. You’ll feel excruciating pain or instant death.

Andrea splayed her hands indicating that there is no need to worry about it. The guards stood down to her non-verbal orders.

The atmosphere calmed down. Lumi took her steps so careful not to agitate the Empress guards.

She placed her right hand to her ample bosom and bowed reverently.

“Greetings, welcome to the port of York of the Kingdom of Ametus. My name is Lumi Neileigh, the chief attendant of King George Ametus. I’m pleased to meet you.

“Nice to meet you too Lumi, my name is Andrea Nebulis, the Empress of the Empire of Baharuth, this is my sister Amber Nebulis and my chancellor Kazuma.”

After the empress introduces her companions, they bow to Lumi respectfully.

“I’m sorry for the unpleasant environment of the port. If we were to know where you are headed beforehand. We could have prepared.” said Lumi apologetically.

“Don’t mind it. We are completely okay. Then how far is the royal palace from here?”

Andrea replied.

“It will take four nights if you were to ride a traditional mode of transportation.”

“Traditional?” Kazuma furrowed his brows subtly.

“The founding fathers or should I say the king and his ministers are inventing a new mode of transportation. But sadly, they are not yet implemented countrywide. But, the king sends this helicopter to take you to the capital. It will only take two hours.”

“Two hours? That’s fast. Hey, Kazuma? Is this the capabilities of the helicopter?”

“Helicopters can be used for transportation, reconnaissance, military, and humanitarian aid. Those are the more impressive features of the helicopter than our planes.”

“I see.”

*Cough cough.

“Are you okay sister?”

“Yes, sister. Don’t worry about me. In fact, we should get going now.”

…

Lumi escorted them to the helicopter and took their seats. The exquisite interior designs are befitting for a royal. It's spacious inside and the fragrance smells like lavender.

“So this is what a helicopter looks like? It's a completely different prototype proposed by the council.”

Lumi heard Andrea’s remarks. What does she mean by that? Are they creating helicopters in their hometown?

“Are you perhaps creating helicopters, your Majesty?”

“Yes, but please do call me Andrea.”

“But it would be rude to address you casually.”

“It’s alright I insist.”

Having no choice but to comply Lumi took her seat. Six guards are only permitted to enter the helicopter since the load that they are carrying can’t fit into the helicopter. So, they have to reduce.

“Good afternoon, this is your pilot speaking. My name is Jay Godding, the minister of energy and the proponent of creating this lovely helicopter. Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelt as we are preparing for takeoff bound to the capital of Ametus. Estimated time of arrival 1630 in the afternoon.”

“Minister of Energy?” Kazuma muttered.

“Where did those voices come from?”

Amber and the guards began touching their hilt acting defensively.

“Those are the P.A system of the helicopter no need to worry,” Kazuma assured.

Two hours later.

Hovering in the capital’s airspace. Andrea, Amber, and their guards are amazed at the speed of the helicopter.

“This kind of aircraft will revolutionize long-distance transportation.”

“I agree, places that are hard to reach due to treacherous roads and mountains. This aircraft will really improve our way of life.”

“I’m so excited! I can't wait to see our helicopters taking off. But, this specific type of helicopter is much more comfortable. Hey Kazuma? Do you think the council can create this?”

Kazuma shocked his head. Giving the empress a disappointed look.

“Unfortunately their helicopter variants are much more advanced compared to ours. Our helicopter can be dated back to the 1950s in our previous world.”

“Seriously? Sad.”

“Can we buy a lot of this kind?”

“That depends on their government.”

Andrea and Amber are clearly down. Their gloomy expression as they caress the fine fabric of their seats and the contour of the windowsill of the helicopter. It’s a shame that they will not acquire this kind of helicopter. Factoring in the rift between the West and East ideologies and their history. The chances of them getting this helicopter are next to zero.

“But don’t be disappointed. If our theory is true. Then we may be able to acquire this. Negotiations are of utmost importance here.” Kazuma assured.

With his assurance, Andrea's gloomy faces turned enthusiastically.

The helicopter landed in the backyard of the Royal Palace. They escorted them out of the helicopter. Meanwhile, the pilot of the helicopter was stopped by the Empress guard.

“Her Majesty wishes to talk with you.”

“I’m sorry but I can’t talk to them without the permission of the king.”

“Hey! I’m not asking you. I’m telling you.” The guard gave a deadly look. He aimed the rifle in his head.

But, unfortunately to the guard. Jay immediately disarmed it quickly and stole his AK-47 professionally.

“How dare you point a gun to me? It’s a complete insult!”

“Enough!” Andrea snapped.

“I’m sorry for his rude behavior, kind sire. I’ll make sure that appropriate punishment will befall him in the future.”

“Look, if you want to talk to me then fall in line. I have important work that needs my attention. Come to my office. It's located just inside the palace when you’re done talking to my king.”

“I will.”

Thirty minutes later.

The meeting hall inside the palace is filled with exquisite tables and furniture. George is waiting for them just after he dismissed the ministers.

The meeting with his ministers happened discreetly.

“Your Majesty, the Empress of the Baharuth Empire are outside along with her sister and his chancellor.”

“Well send them in.”

“Uhm where is your elf guard?”

“Ah her? I send her back home since there is nothing happening that needs her skill.”

…

The Empress entered the meeting hall and saw a handsome young man seated in an exquisite chair akin to his exalted rank.

“Please take your seat.” He said.

They took their seats. Lumi stood beside Georges while their guards stood beside the Empress. The chancellor and his sister can be located on the left and right of the Empress.

“Are you the Empress? You look so young to lead a superpower country.” He praised.

“I can say the same thing to you, your Majesty. But before we start. Let me express my sincere condolences towards you and your country in the horrific attack of Principality.”

“Thank you, Empress?”

“Please call me Andrea.”

“Okay, Andrea. May I ask what you are doing here so important that you needed to see me personally?”

George leaned forward and initiated.

“I came here for many reasons. The truth is I need your help.”

“Help? What kind?”

“Your cooperation on defeating the Demon Empire together.”

“Oh?”

“But before that. I want to make myself clear in the issue regarding the attack of Principality.”

“Look I know that they are part of your declaration act but we don’t need your consensus. We were under attack.”

“You know it already?”

“Of course, I expected this to happen when I took the throne. Anyways, why did you bring an entire fleet of battleships to the coast of york? Are you perhaps going to attack us?”

“Don’t be silly your Majesty. We will never do that.”

“Then let’s get to the point. Why are you here for?”

“I came here to discuss numerous matters with you. There is a pile of things that I want to discuss with your King George.” She continued, “But before that, Kazuma.”

Kazuma put something at the table. It looks like a bell.

“We just have a few questions from you before we start. This is Kazuma, my chancellor.”

“Go ahead.”

“Your Majesty. Can we ask for your real identity?” His voice trembled slightly.

“Identity? What do you mean by that?” George took a defensive stance.

“Let me be straight. Who are you?”

“Huh? What kind of stupid question is that? Didn't you know the name of the king of the kingdom you’ll be visiting when you come from?”

“Please answer the question.”

“Easy, my name is George Ametus.”

*Ding.

Everyone was perplexed at the sudden ding of the bell.

“What is that?” He asked.

“Sorry for not introducing you. This is a magic item that lets us see through lies. It’s a lie detector. An absolute one.”

“What are you implying?”

“I’m implying that you’re not the real George Ametus but rather a different someone.”

“Oh s**t,” Lumi muttered subtly.

“You got me. There’s no hiding it anymore.”

“Hah?!” Lumi said in shock, “Wha-what are you thinking, your Majesty?”

“There’s no point in hiding it. We’ve been found out”

“Precisely,” Amber said, “Before we negotiate, we need to know who we are talking to.”

“So who are you?” Andrea urged.

“It cannot be helped then. But first, let me experiment on that magic item. Kazuma? Based on your name I can tell that you’re Japanese and you are fluently speaking English. I commend you for that.”

“I’m flattered, your Majesty. It’s true that I speak English fluently but our national language is Japanese. Learning a foreign language is a must for a chancellor.”

“Another interesting discovery. Then let me try the magic lie detector… Ehem. I love Lumi!”

“Eh?” Lumi's face turned bright red.

“Wha-what are you saying, you i***t? And wh-why's it not ringing?”

“It’s simple, it's the truth am I right Kazuma?”

“Yes, your Majesty. I commend your confession toward the young lady.”

“Okay, I will now tell an obvious lie. Lumi, sorry about that. It’s just that I need to confirm if my feelings towards you are true or not and that tool helped me so I can be at ease.”

“I-i***t…” She covered her bashful face, she was clearly embarrassed especially in front of his majesty and the foreign leader.

“I’ve never been to Japan.”

*Ding!

“I was born in Russia”

*Ding!

“Okay, everything seemed to be correct.”

“So you are not from this world but rather in a different world similar to mine. Russia and Japan is a country that exist in our world, your Majesty”

“I see,” Andrea sighed, “Then can we ask now your real identity?” She forwarded.

George stood proudly to his seat and began.

“I’m George Lindon! I have four Ph. Ds in engineering and also the current president of the United States of America. When I say current, I mean that. I and my current ministers are transmigrated in this world when a missile hits us.”

Hearing his real identity, Kazuma knelt on the ground suddenly and was clearly shocked.

The bell didn’t ring meaning that he is stating the truth.

“Hey? Kazuma, why are you acting like that?” Andrea noticed. “What’s America?”

“I-Impossible. So we are talking to a president huh?!”

“The bell didn’t ring right?” George replied.

“What’s going on Kazuma? You are weirding us out here.”

“America...The United States of America is the current sole superpower in our world. And the president is like the king there, your Majesty. Which means you are talking to a president. A legitimate leader in the modern world.”
