The ship finally arrived at the port of the Gliding Town.
The Royals then followed Keh and headed towards the exit of the ship.
Once they were standing by the hatch of the ship, Keh nced at everyone and asked while gesturing at it, "Shall we?"
"Yes, let''s touch yournd," Zach excitedly stepped forward and ran down the stairs.
Everyone else smiled at that overly-enthusiastic Prince and then followed him.
Keh took a deep breath in once he stood on hisnd as if he had missed the air of his Kingdom.
All the others stood by his side.
Keh then happily said to everyone, "Wee to Brenalia!"
Ariel peeked behind her and saw Damien''s aura close by. She smiled at the aura and looked ahead again.
Five royal carriages hade to pick up the Princes and Princesses. And there were also other several normal carriages that were to be used for transporting the guards and servants.
The Foreign Minister of Brenalia had personallye to wee the Royals of Wyverndale. The minister, as well as all the servants who hade along, bowed to the Royals.
The Foreign Minister stepped forward and spoke with a wide smile on his face, "I, Xavier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, wee the respected Princes and Princesses of Wyverndale to the Kingdom of Brenalia on behalf of His Majesty."
Ariel gave an acknowledging nod and replied in a graceful manner, "I thank you on behalf of everyone for personallying here, Lord Xavier."
"All of you are the jewels of Wyverndale. How could I note?" Xavier smiled and then turned to look at the Crown Prince. And he said with a slight bow, "Wee home, Your Highness."
"Thank you foring to wee us, minister," Keh gave a nod and smiled. And he asked the minister, "I hope my parents are doing well. And nothing new going on with the Kingdom, right?"
"The King and the Queen, as well as Brenalia, are doing fine, Your Highness," Xavier politely replied and then gestured towards the carriages that were waiting for them. "Why don''t we head towards the castle?"
"Shall we all sit inside one?" Keh asked the others since that was what they had been doing before.
Everyone agreed with Keh before Ariel could even say anything.
Ariel also had to agree because she didn''t want to raise any suspicion. However, she was worried thinking how Damien would follow them.
She furrowed her brows and thought to herself, "He can teleport, sure. But he might teleport at the wrong ce and at the wrong time. It would be easier if he came along right now."
She nodded to herself. And while the others were settling down inside one of the carriages which was rtivelyrger than the others, she stood next to the minister and politely said, "We made you bring all these carriages for no reason, right? Maybe we should have asked the messenger to clearly say that one carriage would have sufficed."
The minister politely waved his hand and said, "Ah, you don''t have to think that way, Your Highness."
Ariel then asked the question that she had wanted to ask for real, "Will these carriages now return empty or will you be utilizing them to transport the others?"
"The Royal Carriages will return empty, Your Highness. We aren''t allowed to use them for other purposes than transporting the Royals in them." Xavier answered without hesitation.
"Ariel, what''s the holdup? Get in faster, I want to see Keh''s castle," Zach called Ariel since she wasn''t getting in.
"I''ming." Ariel turned her head towards the ce where Damien was standing. She looked at the aura as if to tell him to get inside one of those empty carriages.
When Ariel climbed in, the coachman closed the door and prepared to leave.
Ramon then nced at Zach and said to him, "The castle''s name is Drayston Castle, not Keh''s castle. That''s why we were telling you toe and listen to him so that you would have some basic knowledge at your disposal."
Zach grinned at Ramon and nonchntly said, "You took the lesson, right? You can correct me when I make such mistakes again. And I can always ask you when and if such ''knowledge'' is required."
They stopped bickering with each other when the carriage began to move.
They peeked out of the window and curiously looked at all the people and surroundings.
At first, they mostly came across the crews of the ships who were handling the goods. Then they came across a very busy fish market. The mostmon sight was of the fishermen, fish vendors, and customers.
And after a while, what Ariel had seen from the ocean finally came into view.
The small one or two-story houses by the side of the roads looked so mystical. They were mostly made up of beautifully carved stones. The windows and doors of the houses had beautiful carvings on them. Though most of the houses looked grey and ck, the small patches of beautiful gardens in front of the houses made them look really attractive.
Bricks wereid out on the roads in such a way that they looked like beautiful patterns. And the travel by carriage went very smoothly.
Keh would point outside the window every once in a while to show some interesting ces, shops, and houses with peculiar designs.
And the others were staring outside the window in awe. The air itself had such a mystical vibe that they all felt as if they were in some fantasynd rather than in Keh''s kingdom.
Keh was happy to witness their awe-struck expressions.
After traveling by carriage for about two hours and a half, Keh said with a tinge of excitement in his voice, "We''ve arrived at the capital of Brenalia. From here, it is half an hour''s ride to reach our final destination for today."
Zach turned to look at Keh with a surprised expression on his face. And he asked while raising his brows, "Wow! We''ve already arrived at the capital? That was fast!"N?v(el)B\\jnn
Keh smiled and said, "I''ve told you time and again. Our Kingdom isn''t nearly as big as Wyverndale. So yes, we''ve already arrived at the capital."
It was already dark by the time they reached the huge stone and iron gate of the Drayston Castle.
Keh peeked out of the window and informed all the others, "We''re here!"
