Well anyway. It is good that you've triggered your bloodline to make this prophecy. So it seems that I am the Black Dragon? Ha ha ha. Good. Good! You better treat me well, and make sure you help me to win the Imperial Talent Show or something." I said loudly to her to ease the awkwardness.

"I will do all I can to help you." Princess Louisa said softly and seriously.

I sighed deeply in my heart.

"Where is the awkwardness?" I thought to myself. "I think I rather prefer that awkwardness compared to this… this… Blind worship."

"Blind worship is good! She will do everything you say. Trust me, you will be very happy that you are bed partners with a hot girl with a trait like that." Arabella poked her head through the wall which I had set up as though it was a piece of paper and smiled at me happily even as she teased me endlessly.

I was about to snap at her for being such an annoying old woman, when my mind finally sort of clicked.

"She is lonely." I realized with a start. "And she is probably very starved for human interaction after being inactive for god knows how many years."

I stared at Arabella the lonely middle aged woman in my mind, and at Princess Louisa my brand new and first zealous fan, and I could only roll my eyes at fate.

"Fine. Throw these girls at me all you want, but I am not babysitting them. My first loyalty is to myself. They can adjust themselves to cater to me and my own selfish way of living." I told whichever god was controlling my life.

"If I am just a character in a story, then the author better watch out if he doesn't want to be left with a bunch of sad, angry, brokenhearted female characters." I warned the author seriously.

Just in case.

People say that life is just a dream. If it could be a dream, then why not a novel? With all the insane things that had been happening to me in such a ridiculously short amount of time, my life could very well be just a product of some author's overactive imagination instead of just a dream.

"Right. Let's go to the Capital and cause some more ruckus. How far away are we?" I said to Princess Louisa.

Mentally, I knocked down the apparently useless wall and let Arabella out of her 'prison'.

"Hohoho. You're finally awake to how valuable my insights are as a mature woman? Good on you. Don't worry. With me by your side, I will make sure you do very well as a lover of women." Arabella patted herself on her very lushious chest and sat down next to my mental image, where she promptly stretched her burning hot body and leaned back to rest on the couch that had appeared.

I could only sigh at her and tried my best to ignore her.

"We are very close to the Special Capital District. At our current speed, we should enter its airspace within a couple of minutes. From there on, we must slow down to one hundred kilometers per hour, and travel for ninety minutes to the Royal Palace." Princess Louisa said. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

I frowned, and was about to ask why the hell must we slow down to such an extent when she answered my question preemptively.

"Any unsanctioned flying object traveling at speeds above one hundred kph will automatically trigger the District's Anti Air Defense System. It is very, very powerful. Even the defense specialist golden mechas of the USAA would not be able to survive its powerful attacks. And I really do not think we can survive that." f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

My personal ego was immediately stoked, and I immediately decided that I would give that Anti Air Defense System a go before my time in the Empire was up.

"But I do not think it will come to that. Look. My Silver Legion approaches." Princess Louisa said softly as she stared out into the distance.

My eyes followed hers and looked out towards the quickly approaching Special Capital District.

It was the first time I saw the SCD of the European Empire, and to say that I was stunned silly would be an understatement.

Colourful spires and skyscrapers of every single colour, design and height filled my sight for as far as I could see.

To the front, and to my left and right stretching almost endlessly.

For someone living outside of the SCD of the European Empire, it might still be possible for him or for her to be amazed by the awesomeness of blockbuster movies depicting computer generated grand cities filled with amazing buildings and high walls.

But for the citizen living in the SCD, they would definitely be much, much more difficult to impress.

I mean, fifty meter high walls stretching for a few thousand kilometers could already become a world wonder.

And if that's the case, then how much more wonderful is a "district" tens of thousands of square kilometers in size, and FILLED with near kilometer tall towers?

It was a show of power and wealth that defied my poor junkyard raised mind.

There was a massive wall built at a distance of five full kilometers before the first building of the SCD, creating a ring of empty space between them that worked as a perfect killing ground for the city defenders after the wall was breached.

And the wall…

Could it even be described as a wall?

It was a 'soft' wall at a full fifty meters thick and one hundred meters high.

Soft as in, it is not made up of brick or rock, but of compressed sand.

One might think that it would be a weaker wall compared to fifty meters of pure brick.

But brick and rock could crack and collapse upon impact, while compressed sand would absorb the power of any impact cleanly into its body.

It was a monster of a wall, and it worked like a charm to resist most blue mecha based invasions. Still, as impressive as it was, it was nothing compared to the row upon row upon row of weaponry arrayed on top of it.

A brief study over a kilometer long section of the wall yielded a stunning five thousand turrets. Five bloody thousand.

Visible ones.

There was no bloody way they didn't have hidden weapons.

"What the hell is wrong with you Europeans? What's with the hyper exaggerated defenses on the hyper exaggerated wall?" I frowned and asked Princess Louisa.

"Hyper exaggerated? These simple constructs?" Princess Louisa frowned back as she looked away from the approaching legion of mechas to look at the wall.

"These walls and its defenses were the product of high school students in a particular design competition. These aren't the SCD's first line of defense. I mean, technically they are at the very front, but they aren't part of the formal defensive design." Princess Louisa explained.

"I see." I nodded and coolly gazed at the massive walls that would stymie every single army in the world apart from the USAA and possibly the very elite of the Chinese Federation, and tried to reconcile all of that with the fact that they were merely design products of the Empire's high schoolers.

Mentally, I could only gape at the wonder of it all.

"Pretty solid. These Europeans are actually pretty good in their offensive capabilities. Throw your resonance over there, right smack in the middle of the killing ground. What can you sense?" Arabella said quietly to me.

I did as she said and threw my resonance there curiously.

"What the heck?? What is that??" I shouted in my mind.

"These Europeans took the idea "offense is the best defense" too literally and too damn far. Don't think of that as a defensive mechanism. Think offense, and you'll quickly figure out its function." Arabella replied.

As my resonance traveled down the massive machine hidden underneath the killing ground, an inkling of understanding began to appear in my mind.

But before I could truly grasp the immensity of the machine, the Silver Legion finally got close enough for us to be able to look at each other properly.

"It's not just warriors of the Silver Legion! There are warriors from the Legion of Light and the Legion of Fire too!" Princess Louisa cried out excitedly. "Oh! Golden Light and Golden Fire as well! My brothers are here!"

But it was not destined to be a warm reunion and homecoming for Princess Louisa.

Right at that moment after her excited exclamations, a massive shadow fell upon us as a humongous mothership broke through the clouds and descended towards us.

Princess Louisa's face instantly blackened in a fearsome scowl.

"The balls on that damned Richard Draco. He actually dares to come after what he tried to do earlier?!"

I could only look up, cast my resonance on that massive mothership, and be stunned silly once more.

My trip to the Empire was starting out full of surprises.
