THE EMPEROR OF TWO WORLDS

Reason for choice

When everyone has gone and left the queen Alice and Jani. The queen calmly looked at her son who was looking at the form filled in by those who had escaped earlier and said in a confused tone "son, I really don't understand this choice of yours."

"what don't you understand, Mom?" jani asked with a warm smile to her mother.

"many things. For example, when there is a middle-aged architect who has a lot of experience registering, you immediately reject it and instead choose an old grandfather and his grandson to be your head of development. Or also like your blacksmith expert who is currently still empty, even though many famous dwarves have come here to become your master blacksmith, he said, but they're all you're rejecting on the grounds that the place is already filled."

"hahaha, Mum. What I want to build is a unique city suitable for all races.If I choose one who is only fixated on one race then my dream city will never materialize, he said, but if I choose an aspiring architect who doesn't yet have his own stand. Then I could instill my idea early on so that he would get used to the style of the city I wanted."

"ohh, I get it now. So what you're after is the granddaughter, not the old geezer?"

"First, his grandfather only serves as fertilizer for future seedlings that he puts to his grandson."

"okay, I understand about your head of development. But who's filling out your blacksmith expert?"

"that's Brad Sallyfor, Mom."

"that's impossible, son. You see, when your father invited him to become the head of the royal vault, he immediately rejected it on the grounds that the post would interfere with his weapons research. As a result, the position is now held by one of his best students, Jack Miller."

"believe it or not, Mom. I have a thing that will make him come to me by himself."

"Well, I'm not going to mess with your plans, but on one condition you have to make mom a delicious meal for lunch today, okay?"

"just calm down, Mom. I'll make you some staple food other than whole wheat bread."

"what's that?"

"Steel."

After that, the two of them entered the palace to prepare lunch today. When the two of them reached the kitchen, the waiters and cooks were surprised by the arrival of two mothers and a child.

The head chef in charge of the kitchen tried asking the two of them "third queen, third prince, what are you doing here? If you want to eat something please instruct us to make it?"

"just relax, me and mom just want to cook for themselves, but if you guys want to help, please help me clean up this bird's feather." Jani replied to appease the chefs while taking out two earthen birds from her dimensional bracelet.

Although they did not succeed in stopping the queen and the prince, they were also happy to be able to help. Then Jani gave instructions to the chefs to cook the dish that would be the lunch side dish today.

Meanwhile, in the dining room.

The Lester family had all gathered today, including Julius and Marcus who had just arrived from their respective cities. When the king realized that his third wife Alice and third prince Alex were not here, he asked Bernard.

"Bernard, where's queen Alice and prince Alex going?"

"his highness, the queen and the prince are preparing lunch. Coincidentally the third prince will also serve a meal replacement for wheat bread to be made a staple."

"do you know what kind of food it is?"

"previously the prince said that these grains were cooked with water only. Because in cooking with water it will taste tabar and must be eaten with other dishes."

"unexpectedly, our sister has extensive knowledge of cooking." Praise the first prince, Julius for his third brother.

"hmph, why are you so proud of her cooking skills? A man should be an expert in using weapons, not an expert in the kitchen." After the second prince, Marcus refused to praise Jani's skills in the kitchen.

"what right do you have to comment!? You know women prefer kitchen men to battle maniacs like you!!" veronica denies insulting her brother who prefers to fight to weigh in looking for a wife.

"hey, you should have more respect for me because I always guarded the border so that no one would dare mess with our kingdom."

"you're only guarding the southeast border of the kingdom, but the north-east is never guarded."

"there was the Blackstone fortress city guarding the border. Anyway I'm ready to send troops to stand guard in the border town."

When Marcus said that, from the door one said, "sister Marcus, can you cancel your troop delivery."

Everyone was shocked by the person who said that which was none other than the third prince, Alex.

Jani who enters the dining room together with Queen Alice and sits in their place. After Jani sat down, Marcus again asked "Alex, what do you mean I can't send troops there?"

"i'm actually going to rebuild the dead city. And if you send troops, the local people who didn't believe in the invasion of the neighboring kingdom, will believe and leave the city."

"but I've sent 50 men for the first expedition to the dead city."

"okay, I'll send them a letter later. Oh yeah, by the way, didn't you cook for lunch?"

"it's being prepared by the servants to bring here."

After waiting for a while, a group of waiters came carrying rice that had been stacked like rice with some waiters carrying side dishes such as chicken meat and chicken soup.

Everyone at the table is confused to see their New white staple food and Jani sees it begin to explain the food they think is new and have never seen.

"i'll explain, this white one is called white rice. Since I didn't add anything in it it would just feel bland. And for the side dishes I told the servants to prepare ground bird meat to be processed into two side dishes, chicken stir-fry and chicken soup."

After Jani's explanation, they all tried to taste his dishes and the first to comment was Marcus "Alex!!, I didn't know that you were really good at making food!! And for this rice, I think it could be a replacement for whole wheat bread because of its easier making. And if this is applied as the army's staple food, it will definitely save the cost of food and the funds can be diverted to the procurement of weapons."

Hearing Marcus' words, everyone in the dining room only smiled because of Marcus's nature of being able to think about his soldiers while he was eating.

Jani, who heard her brother talk about guns, recalled the order he asked Brad Sallyfor to do. After thinking for a moment, Jani said to Marcus "sister, are you out of this, busy?"

"no, why?"

"i'd like to take you to see the new weapon I developed recently with Brad Sallyfor."

"in that case, I'm coming!!" marcus answered with enthusiasm.

After Jani decides to go to Brad Magic hand's gun shop, she goes on to eat her food, but is pulled by Veronica who wants to talk to her.

"Veronica, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"sister Alex, can I come with me to the northeast border?"

"i'm fine, but if you come with me in the capital, no one will accompany our parents and watch over the nobles not to do anything beyond the limits."

"Alex, let Veronica come with you. The matter of guarding those nobles, let me handle it." Sela Julius who heard the conversation of her two sisters.

"then who's guarding the city of Artia, brother?" jane asked her brother.

"about that, I've prepared a replacement who can keep Artia's city ahead. Dad, have you investigated my replacement?"

The king, who was asked by his first son, replied "i've investigated it and I don't think it matters if you want him to replace you as the next ruler of Artia."

Afterwards, everyone finished their meals quietly and Jani still wondered who had replaced her brother guarding the city of Artia, but since her brother had said nothing, she said nothing, he did not dare to ask because he thought it was disrespectful.

.....

After Jani and Marcus finish lunch, they both go to Brad's gun shop to see Jani's gun order. By the time they got there, the second floor of Brad's shop was already emitting black smoke as if an explosion had just occurred.

Jani and Marcus immediately entered the store which remained open even though the second floor of the store was emitting black smoke. As Jani enters the store she sees Diana serving customers and approaches her.

Seeing the two princes coming, Diana immediately greeted them "good afternoon, second prince and third prince."

"there's no need to be so polite, Diana. By the way is your father upstairs?"

"sure!, he's upstairs. Incidentally, after the previous explosion my father laughed so hard, maybe he managed to create something new."

After saying goodbye to Diana, the two of them went upstairs and came to Brad's research room. Jani knocks on the door and says, "Bad, this is me prince Alex! Can I come in?"

"oh! It just so happens that you've come, just get in. The door's not locked." Brad replied, a little surprised to hear Alex coming.

after receiving permission from Brad, Jani and Marcus go inside and are greeted with Brad's big smile. Jani already knew the reason why Brad had such a big smile on his face, but he still asked "why are you smiling so widely like that, Brad?"

"hehe, after two days of sleepless working on it, I finally finished making it and now look at my masterpiece!" brad answered proudly while pulling the cloth covering the thing on his desk.

After the cloth is pulled, three weapons appear, two weapons like pistols and the other weapon similar to the first generation rifle. Then Brad explained about the gun.

"for two small ones I named it Double blast and for the big ones I called it Anti-Magic Blast. Double Blast itself is designed by specifically for the use of prince Alex who does not need to use bullets and only rely on where the magic inside him."

"and for the Anti-Magic Blast in a special design to fight the witches who are often in the back line and shoot him from a distance using bullets. Moreover, this weapon can be used by anyone from ordinary people or witches."

When he heard a brief explanation from Brad, Jani was satisfied because this weapon was to his liking and when Jani saw Marcus whose body began to tremble because he was holding back his feelings of pleasure, she slightly smiled proudly as she waited for her brother to say something.
