GA: Glory Of The Kindom
130.1 Republic of North Navia

The streets of the Republic region look deserted as well as the territory of the villages that passed by Antonio and his entourage.it is not because they ran away and hid after seeing the figure of Antonio in the form of a dragon, the dragon, except that there are not many people who live in the north.

The territory of the Republic was cold and snowy and was not suitable for farming. Residents in the Republic mostly rely on hunting and fishing, some work in mines or processing semi-finished products that come from other countries.

Many factories are established in the Republic such as fabric manufacturing plants, clothing and steel products, for which the Republic is often referred to as an industrial country.

"Prince Antonio look at the great wall of the capital Grosberk already seen soon we'll get there."

Latina said that and indeed the city at the northern end of the continent was already visible from a distance and several horse carriages carrying the mines were already visible, some of the horse carriages carried black stone or more commonly known as coal.

Steam engines were developed in the Republic to support their industry, although steam engines were first invented in the world by Dwarves. but the creative people of the republic continued to develop it because they had many coal mines as the main fuel for heating water to steam.

"Miss Latina I love being in the land of inventors and want to learn from them but I don't really like the black smoke billowing from the chimney above that city."

"Your highness prince Antonio is not good but that's how it is. The smoke above the city from the factory has become a daily view of the residents of the Capital Grosberk."

"It can actually boost production from those factories as the economic driver of the country but I'm concerned about the impact on the environment, if what I see in the north that often snows you must have experienced black snowfall."

Antonio said that then Minister Nikof spoke.

"Prince Antonio knew that, there had been several black snowfall in some areas but it seemed harmless so everyone ignored it."

"Minister Nikof maybe if only once will not be seen the impact but if it is more and more often and in the long run, the ashes of the remaining coal burned and the bad content in it will damage the environment, he said, as if the black snow melts and is carried away by the river, the fish in the polluted river will die and if on land, many plants will also be damaged, the plant-eating animals will start to disappear and it will also affect many people in this country."

Minister Nikof pondered a warning from Prince Antonio but given the economic impact it would be impossible to ask all factories to stop using steam engines.

"Prince Antonio you must also know we have no other choice and it is impossible to stop all that in this country."

"True Mr. Nikof I understand the reason and you have to keep doing it. All of that will only be a big dilemma for everyone in this country once they feel the bad effects in the future."

Antonio couldn't ask the industry to stop using coal because there are a lot of people who depend their lives on it.

The city gate was already very close and people started running around seeing a dragon coming closer. the soldiers of the Grosberk city gate guard also instantly prepared even though they knew they would not be able to face a dragon.

"Prince Antonio..?!"

"Oh of course, Mr. Nikof, I understand that you come down from my back I will turn back into a human being."

Ministers Nikof and Miss Latina as well as Antonio's comrades descend from Antonio's back and Antonio's body shines shrinking to form a human body, but Antonio's clothes were destroyed when they were changed but the Armor Of Elgard and the magic cloak and Antonio's pants are still intact.

"Captain you finally turned into a human again but why are your pants still intact shouldn't it be destroyed when you change shape.?"

"I'm not really understanding Zaza either, but it seems like the magic power equipment is also changing into part of the dragon's body and returning to its original form when I change back into a human."

"What so captain's pants are also magic equipment, huh. whereas it would be very interesting if the captain suddenly naked when returning to human form."

"Zaza don't expect that weird stuff to be so embarrassing if I'm naked in public."

Carlos the leader of the Republic of North Navia is preparing to welcome the arrival of Prince Antonio, he immediately went to the city gate as soon as he heard from the guard soldiers of the entourage of Mr. Nikof who returned on horseback and reported that his highness prince Antonio was heading for the capital Grosberk.

Antonio walked up to the city gate with Minister Nikof and all the soldiers of the city gate guards immediately knelt before Prince Antonio.

"Your highness prince Antonio I welcome you to the capital of Grosberk, we are honored to receive a visit from a great hero like you."

"Mr Carlos you don't have to be too over-welcomed, don't you know me well enough in Niverin's fortress."

"Hahaha of course, my noble prince Antonio was also surprised when this morning a soldier came and reported your arrival in the form of a dragon and true of course I was difficult to believe it but after seeing your figure before becoming human again I will never doubt about the amazing things about you."

"Of course, Mr. Carlos, but I hope you don't believe all the fake news about me being spread around the Navian kingdom."

Carlos thought a little about it because there was indeed a hoax aimed at dropping the name of Prince Antonio but he had never known where it came from.

"So those bastards from the kingdom of Navia who have spread it, we as your allies have also worked hard to find the mastermind behind the fake news about you, but it did not pay off at all and of course with the intelligence of the noble prince Antonio himself you can do all that even without our help."

"Sir Carlos thank you for your concern but I think I'm starting to feel a little cold here."

"Ohh of course forgive my carelessness please enter, prince Antonio will always be accepted in the Republic of North Navia."

Carlos took Antonio and his entourage behind the city gates with the escort of Republican troops.

Antonio observes the busy city of Grosberk, the capital's many large buildings, as it is also used as the largest industrial city in the northern region of the continent, although Antonio still sees the condition of the city is quite slum.

The problem faced by a developed capital as an economic center, many residents from all over the country who came to complain their fate in the capital, the capital, and most of the rough work of settlements to accommodate them is also inadequate to create a seedy and chaotic city environment.

"Master Carlos is the distance of the city palace far enough from the southern gate of the city.?"

"It's true prince because actually the main entrance of the capital of Grosberk is to the north which is the port so the city palace is built not far from there."

"Oh the largest and grandest port in the north of the continent I hear it is very famous for its beauty."

"Yes Mr. Antonio I was born not far from that place."

"Mr Carlos I think you are very great, because of your non-existent origin and can lead a movement to liberate the people from the Kingdom of Navia who enslave their own people."

"Your Highness Prince Antonio has heard my story, I feel very proud. it's true that my family was not from the noble class of the Navia kingdom but I was just a child of a poor family who was often treated unfairly by the nobles of this city in the past, even though my movement managed to save so many people from slavery, I still deeply regret not being able to save my family from starvation."

"Mr Carlos I know the story, the bad luck that befell your family makes you angry and mutinies, but everyone in this country and around the world will always appreciate your great fight and service."

"Thank you your majesty it makes you feel better."

"Mr Carlos I want to ask you one thing, it's about the establishment of a country with a Republican system, I don't think it's possible for you born in this world to think about all that, am I allowed to know about that person and is that person also from another world.?"

Antonio asked that left Carlos a little confused as to why Prince Antonio asked him and what he meant by being from another world.

"Prince Antonio I don't understand your question but it seems you know something about my teacher who actually compiled all of this in the fairy tale book he passed on to me. My teacher has taught me many things including how to fight in self-defense, he is indeed a strange person other than he often says something that I do not understand but he is a very great person."

"Is it really so that this country you're building from the knowledge you get from the story in the fairy tale book that your teacher bequeathed, so is your teacher from another world in that book.?"

"That is also my question at this time prince Antonio, before I had several times heard my teacher allude to a land in another world, of course it was me who was a child who did not believe and thought it was just a fairy tale, but you prince Antonio offending the other world made me think about it again."

"Sir Carlos everything your teacher told you is probably true and the other world does exist, I've proven it myself."

"Prince Antonio believed such a thing, but it was really strange that sometimes I felt that the story my teacher told me was indeed reality, he is indeed an amazing person with a strange and great knowledge.This country of the northern Republic of Navia is proof of all that."

"Then where is your current teacher Mr Carlos can I meet him.?"

Mr. Carlos was seen shaking his head then speaking.

"I don't think it's possible that his highness prince Antonio, the servant teacher died about twenty-five years ago."

"I'm sorry, but I'm sorry that I can't meet someone who's also from another world."

"Prince Antonio from earlier I was very confused by what you said also from another world, has the prince ever met someone from another world.?"

"Yes that's almost right, Mr. Carlos, but I'm still very curious about your teacher how he got to this world."

Mr. Carlos seemed confused by the intent of Prince Antonio's remark and thought whether perhaps all his teacher used to say was reality and prince Antonio knew something about those things, so Carlos spoke.

"Prince Antonio I still keep some of my teacher's belongings and books, I thought if it was you I could allow you to see them."

"Sir Carlos thank you very much I would be very pleased and honored if you would trust me to be allowed to see it."

Antonio thought maybe he could figure out something about the relationship of this world and the world he came from.

AFTER WORDS

Monday 28 June 2021

I started to remember when I started writing this story. I used to expect nothing from my writing and I wrote because I wanted to because this is my way of escaping into my own fantasy world imagining myself doing amazing things and manifesting them in written form.

But as long as I write a lot of things have happened that I sometimes forget my first purpose of writing. Sometimes I think about quitting writing because I wonder what I'm spending my time and energy on all these things.

But it was also when my spirit returned when I learned that there were some people who enjoyed this story from the one I shared until I continued writing to this day, because if it wasn't for your support, I might have quit a long time ago.

Now I will continue to write just as I did when I first wrote, to enjoy it and for personal satisfaction, because everything can happen in my fantasy.

Thank you to all of you who continue to support me writing, so that I can continue to rise and get excited again.
