Infinitum Crystals - Conquest of Virtue [4]

Chapter 6.7 - White - Republic of Nova Crystalist

Now that both Danielle and I have rested up, we are now ready to get going towards the capital of Nova Crystalist. We quickly made our way the very morning of the following day. Nothing significant happened along the way in all honesty. We did get to see a bunch of scenery around the republic.

"So tell me, Danielle. Why is Nova Crystalist a republic? I wondered.

He then answered, "It's not a monarch, that's for sure. As far as I can tell, the people of Nova Crystalist accepted the Supreme Leader."

"Supreme Leader, huh...sounds a bit harsh there."

"It isn't exactly what you think, White." Danielle shakes his head. "Although she calls herself that, it's merely a title and besides, we're just in a virtual world, right?"

I shrugged, "I guess so. Whatever the case, I can't wait to see why do you decide to follow this person."

Before we realize it, the sun was already blazing above our head as we finally saw city walls at the end of our horizon. We finally stop so that we could observe the main entrance of the capital.

"This is different..." My jaw dropped, not literally.

Danielle smiles, "Well welcome to Chesta, the capital of the republic."

The reason I was kinda amazed was how different it was when compared to other kingdoms and cities like Sam's or Yumiko's. This place feels like a modern city. It had skyscrapers, roads. It even has its own railway transportation. The only thing missing of course, are cars.

"How does the Supreme Leader able to make all of this?"

Danielle shrugs, "I don't know. Maybe you can get the answer from her? I don't know her well but it seems like she has some knowledge of who you are even before this."

"She knows me, huh?" I begin to wonder who could it be.

But I simply shrug it off as we made our way to the Supreme Leader Lounge. Weirdly enough, the main place where the Supreme Leader lives and governs in is the lounge. I guess that's another of those weird naming that she got. This character keeps on getting interesting by the moment. Danielle then finally stops in front of a large red door.

"She'll be waiting for you inside." Danielle guards the door.

"I'm on my own now, huh?" I tilt my head.

Danielle chuckled, "Good luck with the Supreme Leader. She's a bit...hard to understand sometimes."

"I'll be the judge of that." I responded, unrelentingly.

The red door suddenly slides open. It felt like I'm in a spaceship or something. I step into the room where I can see a desk not far from me. The seat is facing the windows outside. Once the red door behind me closes, the seat spins and faces me, revealing a stunningly spunky sharply dressed Supreme Leader.

I sighed, "So it is you."

"I've been expecting you, Cyclone White." the sharply dressed woman smiles as she holds a glass of red coloured drink.

She got up from her seat and moved away from her desk. Revealing most of her attire which was a full-on business attire. She had a sleek blazer with a red tie as well as a black high-school style skirt along with red tights and a pair of not so cheap boots to cover her legs.

I was slightly surprised, "I thought the Supreme Leader would wear something more...supreme. But this is also intimidating to say the least."

"I know right?" She smiles. "Shows how big my authoritativeness is."
