Colonial empires in a world ruled by elves

Visiting the family grave 1/2

Leuco, who was leaving the military base to have his three days off on his way to the train station to go to the city of Finschhafen.

From where he would take a zeppelin to the capital of Lutetia, this because he will visit the cemetery where his family was buried.

When he got on the train, he sat in one of the many window seats and began to see the beauty of the road while remembering his family.

“Dad, look what Mom bought me.”

Leuco looked at his son, who was holding in his hands a beautiful wooden toy shaped like a car.

“It’s beautiful, but you thanked your mother for the gift. Remember that we should always say thank you when we receive a new gift.”

The boy was scared and ran to his mother, who was wearing a beautiful white dress “Mom, I am a good boy, so I say thank you for the gift.

I didn’t tell you before because I was too excited, sorry about that. “

The woman laughed and leaned down to stroke her son’s hair. “You don’t have to worry about it.

Better to say thank you later than never. Now go and show your father how your little wooden car works. “

The boy was cheerful and started running towards his father because he wanted to play with him. Leuco, who was seeing that, smiled because he knew his son was learning to be a responsible man.

When he was about to play with his son, he woke up when he heard the noise of the train stop, so the smile on his face turned into sadness.

‘I suppose that happiness can only be present in dreams, although it is not very comfortable to think about them when I wake up.’

After this, he got off the train and went to the zeppelin stop, where there were already enough soldiers waiting.

After waiting for a few minutes, Leuco raised his head and could see the huge zeppelin that was arriving at the landing port.

Although it could be seen imposing, it only had a capacity of 150 people after the modifications with helium and the new adaptations.

When he came up through the port, entering Leuco, he was surprised by the spacious and beautifully decorated interior of the zeppelin.

“Welcome to the commercial Zepelin U234. I am the leader of the flight attendants, we remind you that the trip lasts 24 hours.

As far as food or beverages can be ordered in their seats, we remind third-class passengers that entering the second or first class is prohibited.

Anyone who violates the regulations will be incarcerated in the Zepelin prison and where they will have to wait for the corresponding authorities to take care of them. “

Leuco, who stabs listening to the words, continued walking through the huge third class waiting room to the second class door.

Upon arrival, a beautiful woman checked his ticket and let him go to the second class waiting room.

Unlike the third class, that only had wooden seats, the second class had leather-covered seats and had windows where they could see the entire way.

There was also a small bar and kitchen where there were two waiters serving the population.

He only looked at they for a moment before going to the door of the first class, this because he did not hesitate to spend his money on good transportation.

Because he did not want to arrive tired at his family’s grave, he planned to spend almost an entire day cleaning the marble from the tombs.

Well, he liked to talk while he did it because it relaxed him, believing that his family could hear him.

Arriving at the door of the first class, a flight attendant checked the ticket and when she saw that it had the correct information and the royal stamps, she smiled.

“Welcome to the first class area. With your ticket you are entitled to free drinks and meals, you can enjoy the spacious lounge and your room is number 45.

In it you will find all your suitcases, when we arrive at the docking port of the city of Lutetia.

A bellboy will take care of taking your bags to the exit so you don’t have to do it yourself.

Also remember that in your room you will find a telephone with which you can order any kind of room service.

I hope that your trip through Zepelin Kaiser is to your liking. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to look for me or find one of my colleagues. “

Leuco was surprised by the friendliness of the hostess, so he kept his ticket and entered the first class area, which was decorated with beautiful silk curtains and red carpets.

Also, the wood finishes throughout were a delight to behold, so I enjoyed each one of them until I made my way to the bedroom area.

After going through different doors, he reached door 45, which he opened and could see a beautiful bed with silk blankets.

In his room, there was also a window that showed the exterior of the airship. It had some curtains to be able to have privacy.

But what surprised him the most was seeing that the room had a bathroom, although he had heard things about the zeppelins he never thought he could enjoy such high service.

‘I think from now on I will travel more in first class. The train is comfortable but this relaxation of being in the air should be superior.

I guess it’s the best use I can make of my money because without a family it doesn’t do me much good. ‘

Feeling his spirits a little down, he went to the phone in his room and picked it up.

“Room service, you need room 45.”

“I’d like to order something to eat, a bucket of ice and a bottle of whiskey.”

“For lunch we have the menu of the day, which is a cream of mushrooms and fish fillet with fine herbs. You want that or require a special meal.”

Leuco only made a new one as it was too fine a meal for him, but he was willing to try it.

“The daily menu would be fine, but now that I think about it, bring me some snacks and a pack of cigarettes as well.”

“Immediately, a waiter will take your orders. If you have any other order, do not hesitate to call us.”

Hanging up the phone, Leuco sat down in a red silk chair near the window.

Looking outside, he could see the activity of the entire docking port, where there were Zepelin personnel getting off and on.
