The Golden Throne

Liu Feng left the room with the kings, to see Amelia, Alderan and Haela waiting outside the room.

"How did it go?", Amelia asked anxiously.

"They are kings. Who would have thought that they would squib like a bunch of kids.", Liu Feng said as he left the room and went towards the exit. He went to the entrance of the building, and he waited there for the kings and their entourages. It took some time for them to come to the entrance. Liu Feng figured that they must have started discussing the situation among themselves.

"Who can blame them? I would definitely trust a teenager when he gives such horrible news.", Liu Feng thought to himself.

The kings assembled at the entrance, with a few men behind each of them. Liu Feng glanced behind them towards the insides of the office.

He pointed to some arbitrary position and said, "They are going to have to come out at some point. You can't enter this vehicle without passing from the entrance.". The kings looked at him with astonished eyes. As kings, all of them had extra guards in the shadows, and they were there to protect the kings. 

"How did you find them? ", Damascus asked surprised. He shrugged and said, "Why bother about unnecessary details?". Laughing, he led all of them to the railway station. There was a train already ready in the station.

"What is this mysterious carriage? What beast drives this humongous carriage?"

"This is called a train, Your Highness. This is another invention of the great master of the mage tower.", Liu Feng said. it seemed that he wanted to push everything that was suspicious and innovative towards Lucas, because, why not? The ancient times were too long ago that the historians couldn't possibly have documented all of it, so he could say anything and anyone would have to take his word for it.

"Well, it looks like the ancient times were truly mysterious. To think that they advanced so far, yet we are so far behind.", the king of Darv said. He bent closely and took a look at the train's outer carriage, and the gears at work. 

"This is indeed, very exquisite work. I would love to meet this master from the ancient times. Someone like that would surely love to work with the dwarves over puny humans.", he laughed out loudly. Liu Feng's face turned cold, but he did not respond to the provocation.

They got on the train and Liu Feng lead them all to the dining cart. Seeing as they were all very tired, what better way to calm them down than some food served hot?

"Anything to eat, Your majesties? Today, all the food is complimentary."

"I don't need you to pay for me. What are the specials?", the dwarf king asked the waiter.

"Sir, you will see that we offer multiple options in our menu.", the waiter said, giving the menu to the King of Darv.

"Interesting. A menu? This could change the food industry. Who thought about this?"

"Well, I learnt about this method in a book that I read?", Liu Feng laughed sheepishly.

"Well then, I will have the lamb.", the dwarf said. As expected, Damascus took the salad.

Liu Feng said to his father, "Don't worry father. I had informed the chef prior to start cooking the turkey so that it would be ready when you would arrive."

Liu Man nodded. He asked him, "I gave you the city just five months ago. Don't tell me you blew your budget on this and showed this as your revenue."

"Of Course not, father. I still have half of what you had given leftover. I got revenue due to taxes on goods of the merchants, and purchases."

"How heavy were the taxes? Not more than fifteen percent, I hope.", Liu Man asked.

"Of course not. I do not want to drive away the only source of income that I have away from the house. And, how did you not hear about how the city was developing? I am sure that the news of a city being marvellous should have reached your ears.", Liu Feng laughed sheepishly.

Liu Man raised his eyebrows. "That's your city? I thought that they were talking about Gaon!", he looked down and started thinking.

"Well, we'll see how you fare when I see the city.", Liu Man said.

"Of course father. Now as we all have some free time, I have to ask Your majesties, how big an army are you willing to dedicate to attack Glade? I am confident that I can split them apart so that we just need to care about half of the army that is controlled by the emperor and the royal family. I just need someone to case the army for preparations to be made."

"War? You are thinking too far ahead boy. You do not have sufficient proof that the Glade kingdom is involved with demons at all. You are just a kid with very vivid dreams for all that I know."

Liu Feng smiled and just sat back, waiting for the city to arrive. In the bright sky, suddenly a shadow was cast on the train.

"There aren't any mountains or hills on this terrain. What is this? Why is there a shadow?"

All the kings looked out the window to see the marvellous sight of the skyline of Dilheim. It was truly towering, and the kings were all shocked.

"Aegon is truly lucky to have a city as big as the capital here."

"Please do not offend me. What you are seeing is just a part of Dilheim. Dilheim is easily the  biggest city in Aegon, and it will soon be the biggest in the world after my plans have fully implemented."

"Those are some lofty claims, boy. If you are busy with dealing with stuff like this, then I am afraid that you will not have any time for my daughter.", Damascus joked.

"Please don't kid me, Your Majesty. I have stopped working on the city for about four or five months. It is taken care of by a trusted subordinate."
