GA: Glory Of The Kindom
128.5 Envoy of the Republic of North Navia

Elius the capital of the Navian kingdom, which was located close enough to the border between the Arfen kingdom in the southeast and the Dwarfen kingdom in the south, made the city a very strategic economic center.

Elius was at the heart of the Navian kingdom because it was in a good enough area for farming and trading different from other cities in the snow-covered kingdom of Navia to the north.

The North Navia Republic troupe who with Antonio approached the city gate Elius saw some of his guard soldiers immediately prepare them to gather to stop Antonio's entourage and saw Mr. Nikof was quite worried because he was the minister of the country this enemy of the Navian kingdom.

Although in one of the chariots of the entourage was already flying the flag of the kingdom of Remaria which means if the royal forces of Navia attack the entourage in which there is the royal family of Remaria then it will also intersect with Remarians.

"Stop you are not allowed to enter the city of Elius.!?"

The army of the Navian kingdom immediately stopped Antonio's entourage who escorted a number of soldiers of the Republic of North Navia their enemy, so that the soldiers were seen on full alert.

Antonio immediately spoke to the soldiers of the city guard Elius there.

"I am the prince Antonio Losta De Remaria, I came to visit and stop in the city of Elius, why am I not allowed to enter this city.?"

Antonio said that and the commander of the city guard force there spoke directly.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Antonio has no intention of stopping you, your majesty, but they are the people of the Republic who came with you, he said, they are enemy soldiers of our kingdom so naturally we do not allow them because they can be a threat."

"Your threat the soldiers of the kingdom of Navia know that if we come not to fight and in accordance with the laws of war in the western continent you cannot prevent me from the royal family of Remaria to make a peaceful state visit."

"Her Majesty Prince Antonio is right but our enemy soldiers are still not allowed in because they are soldiers who can pose a threat within the city."

"They are the soldiers who accompany me and are in my responsibility as the traveling royal family of Remaria, am I not entitled to bring my own guard soldiers regardless of who and where the soldiers are.?"

The guard soldiers were seen thinking how they should deal with this, if the city guard soldiers did not let the Republican forces escort Prince Antonio into the city, it would offend the prince Antonio who represented the Remaria kingdom, he said, but if they let the troops inside the city it's also a little risky.

"The commander whether we will let them pass or drive them away by force, they are the Republican troops of our enemy, should we attack and capture them."

"Be quiet, look at a prince from the kingdom of Remaria with them, if we attack the Republican forces escorting Prince Antonio it will be the same as attacking Prince Antonio and we cannot recklessly act because it could trigger another war with the Remaria side.!"

"Then how can we not let them here.?"

The commander of the city guard Elius looks confused but sometimes the guard soldiers from the enemy country can come to the enemy city in the peaceful intention of escorting the incoming envoy or negotiating.

"Your highness Prince Antonio our city guard soldier Elius cannot decide so let us inform our royal family of your arrival."

"Huh it will be too long so what does it mean that I have to wait here until the royal family gives permission, even though I have been very tired but have to get this treatment."

Antonio said that because letting a royal family wait for a long time especially in an unworthy place was so disrespectful that it could offend him.

"Your highness Prince Antonio forgives us but your bodyguards must get permission first and you don't want to go into the city without being accompanied by the guard soldiers you bring."

"I don't care what is clear I will protest with this treatment and didn't I say that I have already guaranteed my Guard Soldiers so that they will not take any threatening action unless the other party is threaten them first."

"Yes, his Highness Prince Antonio has said he will guarantee them but..?"

"But what Commander, do you doubt those whom I assure you, doesn't that mean that you don't trust me Prince of Remaria, I as a royal family that you've met, don't like this treatment very much."

The commander of the city guards Elius could only bow because indeed he was unlikely to dare offend the other royal families. but Prince Antonio's words left him unable to deny their disrespectful treatment of Prince Antonio.

"It is only when the kingdom of Navia does not accept me that it will go away, huh.it seems that my view of the kingdom of Navia should be slightly changed, I have to change, maybe I will also treat the same to the royal envoy of Navia who visits me later."

Antonio said that and looked about to turn around and saw the commander of the city's guard force Elius look confused, the words of Prince Antonio mean something very important and this is clearly like the kingdom of Navia does not accept the arrival of Prince Antonio orange Prince Antonio will do the same.

This would cause many problems of diplomacy and trade between kingdoms if the nobility or royal envoy of Navia were not accepted in the kingdom of Remaria, because the kingdom of Remaria is currently the largest supplier of food needs in the western continent, the Kingdom of Navia does not have much availability of these commodities because it does not have much land that can be cultivated until they are quite dependent on other countries.

Food prices in the kingdom of Navia will rise rapidly if the kingdom of Remaria conducts the policy of the Embargo against the kingdom of Navia and the impact will be very large.

"Wait a moment, your Highness Prince Antonio, please be patient, we will allow your Majesty to enter into the city of Elius with the Republican soldiers who are escorting you because your Majesty has guaranteed them."

Antonio smiled at the answer because he knew the commander of the gate guard soldiers there could not possibly dare to act alone against something that could affect his country, he knew he himself would be blamed if anything happened.

The party entered the city of Elius and Antonio was seen to notice the splendor of the city, but despite the many buildings so beautiful Antonio several times saw beggars and bums on the side of the road.

Even the number of poor people in the city was seen quite a lot more and Antonio entered the city center and it was in stark contrast to the splendor of the city and its famous people Elius foya-foya.

"Her Majesty prince Antonio look at the vagabonds, this is just like the state of the cities of the Republic before independence from the kingdom of Navia, the nobles and rulers of this kingdom think only of themselves."

"Mr Nikof this is the capital that became the center of government and economy, if here alone the condition is like this I can imagine how the condition of other cities in the territory of the Republic that is not too advanced."

Antonio observed the situation there and some beggars immediately approached and tried to walk up to the slow-moving horse-drawn carriage to ask for alms, some of the Republican soldiers who were escorting tried a little to dispel them but Antonio spoke to the soldiers.

"You let them get close to the horse-drawn carriage."

"But their highness Prince Antonio can interfere with your journey and the car troupe."

"I have no problem with that because my purpose in coming to this city is to see the condition of its inhabitants so let me take a close look and talk to them."

"Well if that's the request of his highness Prince Antonio."

The soldiers were seen letting some beggars who wanted to get closer beg for mercy and Antonio directly got off his chariot.

"Sir please be generous give us a little money so we can connect with life."

"Of course take this money and tell your friends to come me and the entourage from the Republic of Navia will hand out some money to them as well."

"Ohh thank you for the kindness of you and the people of the Republic of North Navia, we feel very envious in fact we also want to be independent from the kingdom of Navia which is very corrupt and damaged from within its government, he said, the taxes they impose are very high on the population and even they will confiscate the property of the population so many people who eventually fall into poverty and are forced to beg in the streets."

Antonio notices all that but he can't do much for them and Antonio and his adventurer group hand out some money to the beggars with minister Nikof.

The northern Republic of Navia roamed the streets of Elius several times, and some of the inhabitants there were astonished why there was a Republican party with a Soldier's escort there and distributed alms to beggars.

"Mr Nikof Miss, Latina I think it's time we leave before the royal party searches for us after getting information from the gate guard soldiers."

"Eh we'll go straight away, I think we'll rest in this town."

Miss Latina said that to answer Antonio and Minister Nikof then spoke.

"Wouldn't it be good I wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping in the house of someone who thinks we're enemies and I wouldn't want to be a political prisoner if I was the minister who got caught."

The Republic of North Navia immediately left the city and the returning gatekeeper soldiers saw Prince Antonio's entourage look astonished because it was only a few hours and Prince Antonio was immediately willing to go and not know what Prince Antonio's true purpose is.

"Mr Nikof now we can go straight north through the White Elf Irnia royal Region at the western foot of Vargon volcano."

"Right, my majesty, I don't think there will be many more cities that we can stop by."

The Republic of North Navia was indeed to the north of the Vargon Volcano that engulfed the place of the country from another human kingdom.

Meanwhile at the palace of the city Elius king Elius summoned the prime minister of Tristania.

"Prime Minister Tristania did you hear that this morning Prince Antonio visited our city."

"What is true is that the Prince of Remaria knew that all the bad news about him was us and he came to demand an explanation from us."

"Not even Prince Antonio did not visit my palace at all, he just distributed money to beggars and went straight away he even invited the troops of our enemy Republic here."

"Republican forces what exactly that means, does Prince Antonio reaffirm that they are on the Republican side to avenge us who spread bad things to him."

"Prime Minister Tristania the one who spread the word about Prince Antonio is you who didn't speak to me first, if all that's true, I'm King Elius who won't blame you for taking responsibility and resolving this matter."

"Okay, your Majesty King Elius I understand."

The prime minister of Tristania was alarmed and angry enough that he would have trouble if king Elius blamed him and the kingdom of Remaria was not a small kingdom that could affect the kingdom of Navia.

The Prime Minister of Tristania immediately found out about the Republican entourage escorting Prince Antonio and planned something.

"Prince Antonio he was a fool to leave with only a few escorts from Republican soldiers and no one would blame the kingdom of Navia if Prince Antonio became a victim when they crossed paths with some perambok. Azel you know what to do instead so take your men to go undercover as robbers and chase the party."

"Good prime Tristania I understand."

"The Kingdom of Remaria will be angry and hostile to the Republic if Prince Antonio dies while in the escort of the Soldiers of the Republic of North Navia."
