The Chronicles of Ostrunov 3 Until We Meet Again

Chapter 3

"And you had trusted His Highness Lucas you traveled to Oceania with him?"
Martino asked.

"You can put it that way, son. At first, I didn't hate Lucas from the start anyway. Before knowing the truth, we were starting to get close. I was trying to avoid him because I was more afraid of the consequences. You must understand, there was a tension between the three kingdoms then. If the news reached Grandfather, it'd be a big problem."
Axel explained.

"But you still chose to disobey Grandfather Nicolai, right?"
Daniel asked.

"That's right, haha, I was quite against Grandfather. I was a teenager."
Axel joked.

"But it's so romantic. That you and mother met for the first time at a dance. And after that, how long did it take for you two to get married?"
Martino asked out of curiosity.

"Hmmm, I wasn't good with flirting with women, Martino. We dated for a while since school. Actually, I almost didn't even get married because of Lucas hahaha."

"Eh!? What do you mean, father?"

"Oh ! I didn't you tell me about that time? I'm sorry, so let's go back to when I went to Oceania for the first time..."

....

"Cool !!!, the weather is really nice today! It's perfect for riding a dragon!"
Lucas said as the three were on their way to the Emperor, riding a huge magic dragon.

"Whoa!! Can't you slow down, Lucas? I might fall!"

Immanuel called, closing his eyes tight.

"Don't worry, buddy. If you fall, the magic clouds and the wind around you will hold you. Magicians often use this magic when training young children when they learn how to fly."
Lucas replied, chilling.

"This magic is so amazing. If I could use magic like you, it would be great."
Axel continued.

"Actually, you can do that too, Axel. A normal human could use basic magic, without attending Aldebaran. You just need to know how to control mana power and learn a little from a magic book. I can teach you when we get there, haha."

"Really !? Cool! I'll be able to secretly fly out for some fun, haha."
Axel laughed.

"Slow down, buddy. You'd need lots of practice until you can use magic like me. Ah! I see the city. We're almost there."

The trio landed outside the city walls of Kvislemark, before Lucas flew into the city to explore.
Along the way, the soldiers paid their full respects to Lucas upon seeing him.

"Oh wow, the crown prince you are, haha."
Immanuel teased.

"I'm used to it, hey, you gotta try eating this. You can only find it here."
Lucas spoke while introducing street food along the bustling pedestrian street. The atmosphere in the city seemed bustling and peaceful. It didn't look like a city still at war, very different from Los Cielo.

"It seems very peaceful here, Lucas. The people here don't seem to be afraid of war at all."
Axel asked.

"Only in the capital, my friend. Kvislemark is very secure. You can see soldiers patrolling all the time at the city gates. People going in and out must have a permit to pass through the checkpoint. We have no trouble because I brought you in."
Lucas explained

"So, will someone from Los Cielo like me get suspicious?"

"Oh no, no, as long as you don't speak your local language, no one will notice. As you're talking to me now, isn't it Michedorish? The Oceanian language is very similar to Michedorish. It won't take long for you to blend in here. The Los Cielo people and the people here look very similar too. Don't worry, Axel. Plus, if anyone suspects you. That person must get past me first, hahaha."
Lucas responded to put Axel at ease.
