Trapped in Another World With No Magic

Chapter 120: Legends of Mattarglos

~A/N: Hey Dear Readers! I recently decided that keeping track of all of the different names for the elemental summoned by Daniel's scarf is too complex for me, let alone for my readers I imagine, so I've decided to 'singularize' the elemental as Luceniel, and then each element gets a unique name (when I remember it). I mention this in case you see that she is being treated as 'one individual' no matter the element. It is canonical to treat elementals specifically like Luceniel as 'one' or 'many' in the sense that elementals don't have the same sense of 'self' as normal living beings. She just likes being helpful to Daniel and getting attention. If there does still seem to be a glaring clash, please feel free to mention it. Thank you, and I hope you continue to enjoy!~

If Daniel had known that a week-long celebration would take place in what seems to be the whole of Mattarglos, he would have braced himself a little better. He requested Ucahote spare a shuttle to make deliveries of wine and rum for the celebration in order to cultivate goodwill, and most of the 'reject' batches have been cleaned out -ones that Daniel simply didn't like and slated to be used for trade, since they're still good batches-.

That said, the drinks are a great hit, and Aramellianna began planning her own production and distribution immediately. The Grand Duchy is secure for now, but she has been considering establishing a territory within the Fievegal's captured territory -with permission of course-.

The Imperial part and Mornistae-controlled parts of former Bromlund isolate the Grand Duchy from Mattarglos as it stands, but once Daniel has gained control of the Mornistae capital and removed Rikuto and his superweapons, they'll re-work the distribution of Mornistae territory to allow the Grand Duchy a duty-free route to Mattarglos before turning the remainder of the kingdom over to the Mornistae Royal Family.

"Rikuto was fine as king until he became obsessed with his fear of Daniel's weapons," is Aramellianna's stance on the topic.

Today, the third day of the nine-day celebrations, Veiranoei is Daniel's consort for the day, and he escorts her as requested by Kalegrynten to give the appearance at least that she is an Empress. She holds his arm gently as she walks with him to the meeting place on the airship. It has been too chaotic for him to progress his desired outcomes, so he finally gathered everyone together.

The meeting place is the lounge of the airship, where there is comfortable furniture for everyone, and Wenlianna is slowly and wearily setting up the magic radio. "Ughhh... Why did I let them convince me to drink so much...?"

Reignleif replies with her soft voice, "It seemed like a good idea at the time, huh?"

"I see why you are cautious about the amounts you give out, your Grace," adds Aramellianna as she watches in amusement. Wenlianna is only mildly hungover, while Treia and Gwenesphia are laid out on lounge sofas with pillows over their heads. They only had a single small drink each to not disrespect a toast made by Kalegrynten, but it was enough to exacerbate their morning sickness. Daniel also suspects they had their drinks on empty stomachs, so he'll have to have Xyreko monitor their health more closely to be safe.

Ryuogriar and Geirahoel can't -or rather, agreed with Daniel not to- drink due to their pregnancies, so Reignleif is the only one happily tipsy from enjoying a few drinks during the endless celebrations. Senn, of course, has never had an enjoyable alcoholic drink, so she is also down for the count, being watched over by Vaergraes and Hekate.

Hekate perks up, asking, "Daniel? What kept you?"

"F-Forgive me, your Greatness," cuts in Veiranoei instantly. "Many of the visiting domain lords and chieftains wanted to wish me thanks and congratulations."

"It seems you're quite popular, my Lady," replies Magnir, the blue dragon who followed Daniel and Veiranoei as their guard while Neith is running a personal errand.
