Chapter 372: CH.365 Meeting the King

Finally, the day had come. The day I would meet the King, and after that I could move HomeBase out from above the capital and do whatever I really wanted. … aka. I’d probably take HomeBase towards Alewatch, at least temporarily, so we could do some dungeon diving in TinaWood, while also visiting a few of the surrounding towns like Yuva and Krame. 

But enough about future plans, I have to get through today first. And it wasn’t just me who had an important meeting to get to, because both Alice and Lua had been invited to have tea with Her Majesty the Queen. I don’t know why she decided the same day as when I was meeting her husband was a good day for that, but I’m not going to question the Royalty.

As a preparation for this day, yesterday, I met with His Highness Prince Elias. He gave me a quick rundown on what should happen and so on, but also warned me that his Father might go off the script at some point, so I should expect something that he couldn’t warn me about. Not that I’m one to say anything about that. I’m also as impulsive as anything.

 

Of course in preparation for the meeting, I put on a suit. And not my old one, but a new one Wilma made for me. I didn’t know she had the skills to do that, but apparently she does. Something about armor making requiring sewing skills. The new one wasn’t amazing by any means, I mean, I didn’t let her use legendary materials for it or anything, but it was higher quality than my previous one, so it is fine. I had also upgraded the color from brown, which is usually seen as the cheapest, to a nice black color. I definitely prefer black myself, and being able to produce fabrics that are pure black, not some wannabe black, made for a good looking suit. I think the gold terminal on my revealed left forearm also just goes super well with the black suit.

On my right arm, I had a bracelet made of just gold, but it had a beautiful magic stone embedded in it, made/converted by Alice and Lua, with some help from Dark Sage. I really liked having it, because it was a clear sign that I was taken.

 

For my ride, I was of course in my own carriage. I actually ended up making another copy of it using HomeBase, just so Alice and Lua also have a carriage for today.

But because I was heading for the castle, I wanted to have a horse pulling my carriage. Sadly, I can’t summon just a horse. I mean, I have Nightmare Horse, which is a bit too scary. I also have Chiron the Mage and Mystic Horseman, but having a centaur pull my carriage might be a bit egotistical. And The Trojan Horse really isn’t an option because of its size.
