Seeing how Princess Danaphine was refusing to lift her head Blake could only sigh as he walked over to the girl and squatted down next to her. He placed his hand on her head and said softly: "A princess should not bow her head so easily. You need to stand strong and prideful so that your citizens do not see you at your weakest. Only bow your head to your own people if you fail them and die with dignity knowing you die for your people. A princess's job is to be a sign of light for her people. A prince's job is to be their shield. A king's job is to be a sign of strong will and determination to do what they can for the kingdom they rule over. What will your citizens think if they saw you here now bowing your head to someone you just met?"

Blake had no idea what he was talking about. He was literally letting shit spill from his mouth. Bret and everyone around him also knew this and could only shake their head at how stupid it all sounded. They figured that he probably stole these lines from some movie he had watched at some point and time. 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸𝑒𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

But to their surprise, Princess Danaphine did lift her head and look at Blake. He look of realization fell on her. She blushed slightly as she moved to stand up taking Blake's outstretched hand. "I have made a fool of myself. You are right. Nobility is there to be the hope of the people."

"It's fine. I should have warned you all that I was going to do that. But do note that there is no need to fear me and my people. This is my world. I love it. I was born here and grew up here. I have many people I wish to protect as well. And, I wish to form ties with your kingdom and your people. In hopes of maybe working together to stop the devils that will soon find this island of yours." Blake sighed as he looked Princess Danaphine straight in the eye and said: "I will say this now, but if they discover this island, you and your people will lose.

"If my display of power was enough to scare you, what will you do when they show up? There are beings that are coming to this world that are stronger than myself. They will enslave you and your people. For all I know, the women will become breeders for their men or just forcefully enslaved to do manual labor. If you and your people wish to survive what is to come, then we need to hurry back." Princess Danaphine's body shivered. If what Blake was saying was true, then they had come to a world riddled with danger.

The group continued on for a few more days. They ran into two more cyber beasts which Blake took under his control after beating them senseless. They were now close to a walled off city. "I did mean to ask, but what about the other settlements?"

Princess Danaphine waved her hand to one of her knights and spoke in her tongue to go report to the gate so that they would not be attacked due to the cyber beasts that were with them. Once she gave out her orders, she turned back to Blake and said: "Once our land was teleported here, we immediately moved all people and forces we had spread out through the land to the city. As you can see, the outskirts are filled with newly built housing. The walls will soon extend out around this area but they are mainly concentrating on the front entrance. This is the rear entrance to the capital city. The forest behind us stretches to the ends of our land. It's filled with cyber beasts so there is no way anyone would build a town within it."

"I see. I guess that makes sense. But I am surprised your father acted so quickly. He seems to be a good king." Blake was really impressed. The king had moved his entire population, what was left of it, after the transfer to the city itself in order to protect them better. A king who could do such a thing was a good man.

"My father has always loved his people. He was the first of any nation in my world to focus on protecting his outlaying settlements from cyber beasts. He was the first to take in refugees from places that had been overrun. He has always made sure that his people prioritized their survival over everything else. While we still have a kind of monetized system in place. It is normally only used by nobles and is slowly being phased out. Currently, we do more on merit than anything, as everything is provided now. The life of our people has changed a lot, and since we do not know what will happen next, we had to take measures to ensure that food production was a top priority.

"While this garnered a lot of complaints when my father took the throne, now the nobles who once opposed his ideals were thanking him for being a person of forward thinking. Because he had made so many changes and switched the system to what it is now, the lives of the people who are in the city have not changed much. Only those from the outlying villages and towns have had their lives changed due to the relocation.

"But you will see that the lives of these people are not bad at all. Each one is well fed and has a roof over their head. But this is only possible due to the way we do fabricated construction." Princess Danaphine replied with a bright smile. She liked when people praised her father. She had always thought he was a good ruler, and to hear words of praise from an outsider, made her feel happy.

"He does sound quite good and understanding what the needs of the people are. Many kings would give into corruption. As they say, money talks." Blake knew his old world was the same. Politicians of any country would always line their pockets one way or another.
