| Rath Empire, Axuuhh Continent |
“I didn’t really have time to look around the Empire before because of… you already know,” Azeed said to Nico while they were exploring the Empire.
“Right, I know you and Mina just left the Empire after you’ve exposed the previous rulers here and killed them too. You know the Empire was in shambles for several weeks because they don’t have a leader to trust. Luckily, you gave me the Rath Empire to take care of since you said so,” Nico said, following Azeed.
They’re currently in the lower district of the Empire.
“Right, we just killed and dipped, god f*****g damn it, past Azeed.”
“I’m sorry about. I kinda put all that responsibility on you,” Azeed said, apologizing as he chuckles from guilt.
“It’s fine though, I handled it like a champ. Instantly become a champion too,” Nico said.
They then went to the mansion that the Empire gave to Nico.
“…Also, I own this mansion, I forgot to mention that,” Nico said, reminding Azeed.
“What the f**k?”
“I didn’t know you own this mansion, I thought we just went to a museum,” Azeed said, just following Nico around the mansion.
“Yeah, the Empire gave it to me. But I only sleep here so its entirety is not really a use for me since I just sleep here,” Nico said, going around the mansion.
“At least use it, not now but in the future or something,” Azeed said, giving him advice.
“I will, Sir Azeed, I’m already planning on it,” Nico said, following his advice.
They left the mansion since Azeed got bored looking around another mansion and continued exploring the Empire afterward.
“Let’s go back to the Blakend Kingdom, I’ve seen everything already,” Azeed said.
They then stumbled upon a gift shop just near the gate that they will be leaving since they are already on their way out of the Empire.
“Is that a gift shop?” Azeed asked after seeing the gift shop on the way out.
“Yeah, do you want to buy something?” Nico asked Azeed after answering his question.
“Maybe for Mina,” Azeed said, answering Nico’s question.
“Of course, as you should.” Nico smirked at the thought.
They went to the gift shop and Azeed looked for an item in the shop for Mina.
“I don’t think I want to buy here since this is Rath Empire,” Azeed said.
“Right, I don’t think Mina will like anything from here. The owner behind the counter knows who Sir Azeed is so he can’t do anything about what Sir Azeed just said.” Nico snickers after seeing the owner of the gift shop scared.
“I’ll just buy her a pillow to punch on when she places it on a training dummy,” Azeed said.
“HAHAHA!!!” Nico burst out laughing afterward.
“I’m gonna get beaten up by Mina later, that’s for sure, but that’s to be expected. What the f**k am I thinking about buying a gift for her from the Rath Empire?” Azeed is dreading the thought.
They then left the gift shop and the Rath Empire.
| Blakend Kingdom, Axuuhh Continent |
Azeed and Nico arrived at the Blakend Kingdom, Mina greeted their return, and Nico stormed out to get something to eat.
“I forgot to take him to eat in the Rath Empire, I’m such a bad person.”
“Mina,” Azeed called, he started walking back to the Blakend Kingdom.
Mina followed, she tells him that the renovation of Blakend Center is completed and is ready to be opened once Queen Velverosa is done with the preparations and paperwork of the buildings that were renovated.
“I wonder if we need to renovate or extend our building, we might become less noticeable now that there are many newly renovated buildings around the shop,” Azeed said, suggesting.
“We don’t need renovation because the materials we used are high quality, Azeed. Maybe we can change the monotone painting of the establishment’s building,” Mina said, suggesting as well.
“Right, the painting we used—that are from Queen Velverosa, aren’t really high quality, I’m guessing they’re not as tough on very humid weather,” Azeed said, guessing as to why the paint isn’t high quality.
Because the paints that they used on the Azeed’s establishment are from the Blakend Kingdom’s Rarity Vault—and that vault is very old now, the paint doesn’t last on dry air, which is always prevalent around the Blakend Kingdom since they’re near the equator of the Axuuhh World.
“I did notice that,” Mina said.
“So we have the same thoughts about Queen Velverosa’s painting.” Mina was surprised that Azeed and her have the same thoughts.
They then entered the Blakend Center.
“It looks amazing!” Azeed was amazed by how much renovation like this improves not just the strength of the buildings but also the design.
“This time, we used a different paint since I said the same thing to Queen Velverosa—their high-quality painting sucks so I made my own,” Mina said.
“You didn’t insult her badly, right?” Azeed asked her.
“It depends on what insult she perceives. I certainly have no idea about human perception so I don’t know,” Mina said, answering Azeed’s question.
They then arrived at the Azeed’s Establishment.
“Oh! So you changed the painting of the building, is this something you’ve thought of beforehand or you had all your Minas ready so that if there are more I’d like to add, they’re there to do it?” Azeed asked Mina a specific question.
“I… I can neither confirm nor deny this,” Mina said.
“So yesn’t?”
“That’s something. Anyway, is this the same paint that you made? What’s the name of it?” Azeed asked Mina, touching the building as he checks the paint’s quality.
“It is, I call it the GCPaint,” Mina said, answering Azeed’s questions as she shows the paint.
“GCPaint? Is this supposed to be Grinn Corp Paint but shorter? Her logo design is pretty good too.”
“How about we sell these? Of course, we will give bulks of it for free to Queen Vel for her to sell,” Azeed asked her, suggesting her.
“I don’t mind. But it bothers me that you pledge to give free weapons to the Ovex Kingdom to sell just for blueprints of magic devices that I can probably make, just for 10% profit, and you didn’t even consult me about too,” Mina said.
“How about we go inside the building first and continue our talk there?” Azeed asked Mina.
The two of them then went inside the building of the Azeed’s Establishment and continued their talk in Azeed’s office.
“The reason I acted that way is that just knowing one of those devices can help us with the thing I wanted to make, Mina. Technology, that’s why I have to guarantee that he will agree to him giving everything. His magic devices are the closest to the industrial technology that I seek,” Azeed said, answering Mina’s questions and worries.
“Technology? Is the phone you mentioned before Technology—in bed?” Mina asked.
“Yes, all advancement, progression. Humanity is destined to lead their future in Technology, road transportation, flying vehicles, weapons, defenses, and even mundane things like tables are all going to be made in the future, without magic, without other smart beings and races other than animals and humans can do that. Even someone like me who has held one of their future technology—which is the phone I mentioned to you, is very obsessed about this,” Azeed explained to Mina about the future Technology.
“These are all very unreal to hear but if I recall, Azeed and his creator, which is Azan Reed. Their thoughts have combined in Azeed’s body.”
“Is that how you—Azan Reed, are able to make Azeed Anima and possibly us?” Mina asked him.
“Yes, technically because even if without technology, you’ll still be created by my head, but that just means that not many have known about Azeed—me, you, and the other’s existence. It is one of the reasons why I became this powerful,” Azeed said as Azan Reed, answering Mina’s question.
Mina then approached Azeed at the back. “What do you want to do with this Technology once you’re able to find out how to make it?” she asked him.
“Help humanity’s advancement in Technology with it, of course, I will credit King Ovex for it since I don’t think it will be a good thing if I don’t,” Azeed said, answering Mina’s question.
“What if this Technology is humanity’s downfall after all? You said that Technology is also weapons and defense, these two alone are enough to spark many wars.” Mina said, asking Azeed again.
“I will stop them. Kill the ones that started them. Don’t panic too much, Mina, I am making this Technology myself, we will, so we can control it once it gets to the wrong hands,” Azeed said, answering Mina’s question and reassuring her worries.
“I understand her worries, there are so many f*****g protestors against people that created flip phones, we just need to work our ass off to not get triggered by them in the future.”
Mina hugging Azeed triggered them to f*****g each other.
After they were done, Azeed and the Grinn Corp Members went to the Castle to commemorate the reopening of the Blakend Center that was once the Blakend Kingdom.
“The Blakend Center is now opened as the Blakend Kingdom’s main area, the Castle, the Azeed’s Establishment, the Guild, the Main Hotel, the Bank, and other important buildings will be inside the Blakend Center,” Queen Velverosa announced to the people of Blakend Kingdom.
The Blakend Center’s gate was opened.
Azeed with Mina went to see Queen Velverosa. “Queen Vel,” he called her.
“Sir Azeed! What do you need today?” Queen Velverosa asked him.
“Can we speak to you in private? It’ll be better if we talk in the castle,” Azeed said, asking her.
“This seems to be important.” Queen Velverosa already assessed what they need, at least, the magnitude of it.
“Sure, follow me,” Queen Velverosa said, leading the way to the Kingdom’s castle.
The three of them then went to the castle after the opening ceremony of the Blakend Kingdom has ended. When they entered Queen Velverosa’s office in the castle, She sat on her chair and had Azeed and Mina sit on their chairs.
“So what do you need today, Sir Azeed? I assume it’s something important since your tone can almost kill a baby earlier,” Queen Velverosa asked Azeed.
“You know Kingdom, right?” Azeed asked her.
“Do you mean the word kingdom or the kingdom named Kingdom?” Queen Velverosa asked.
“Right, I realized how f*****g little that narrowed it down.”
“The very first human kingdom of Axuuhh Continent. Or the Axis Continent, if you will,” Azeed said, answering Queen Velverosa’s question.
“What about that Kingdom?” Queen Velverosa asked him.
“I and Mina will be staying there for a while, is there a possibility for Blakend Kingdom and Kingdom to be partnered as well?” Azeed asked her.
“It’s possible, Sir Azeed, it’s not as if we’re enemies, the only problem that’s standing between us is distance, but it’s not as far as the Ogestic Kingdom,” Queen Velverosa said, answering Azeed’s question.
“I know about that, can you give me a certificate for that partnership, Queen Vel? I have something to ask about to Naomi, and it’s a lot so we’ll be there for a few days,” Azeed said, requesting her.
“I have a few copies of those, I can sign one for you and write Kingdom’s name,” Queen Velverosa said, she went to her vault and took out one of the certificates.
She then signed the certificate of partnership and wrote down the Kingdom’s official name.
“The Axis Kingdom?! That’s their official name!?” Azeed was surprised to see the Kingdom’s official name.
“It’s not their real name but their official name, the Axis Kingdom is a very egocentric name, so when they lost in a war for that name, they were banned to have it as their real name, stripping nothing but Kingdom, leaving the Axis Kingdom as their official name whenever they need to sign something on contracts.” Queen Velverosa gave them the certificate of partnership after she was done.
“Thank you for this, can you hold onto this, Mina?” Azeed asked after thanking Queen Velverosa.
“All you need to do is have the Kingdom’s ruler sign the other line next to my signature. Good luck on your journey to the Axis Kingdom, Sir Azeed, Ms. Mina,” Queen Velverosa said.
