After a day of riding in the carriage, we've managed to pass through the borders of the country of Elune and after a few more hours, we finally arrived at our destination.

What I saw ahead of me is a kingdom that is far bigger and livelier than the Kingdom of Hillian, the place is bustling with all kinds of shops, stalls, buildings, and many more establishments. Despite the noise, the atmosphere feels peaceful, like a nation developed with care.

Countries like these are rare and special. Back on Earth, one can hardly find countries like this one, like a wonderland. This kind of nation is what I was aiming for in my past life. Yes, it's the goal that I fully achieved through hard work.

"I hope that Japan will still remain the same even after I disappeared..." I muttered to myself quietly as I gazed into my surroundings through the windows of the carriage.

"Nii-sama, you said something?" Airi asked me, looking curious by what I just said.

"Ah, it's nothing, anyways, can I ask you a question regarding the ongoing war?" I asked her, since I'm going to be a part of this Kingdom from now on, I would have to inquire about different kinds of information.

Actually, I'm already planning on establishing my own information network from scratch by gathering trusted subordinates, after that, I'll proceed on raising my own fighters that can help protect the entire Elune kingdom.

"Huh? sure, what is it?" Airi said to me.

"Which side has the advantage at this point?" I asked, right now, it's important to know as much information as I can gather and which side has the advantage to come up with a better plan to assist this kingdom to victory.

"Unfortunately, the Jahal kingdom has the advantage over us, although Elune has stronger soldiers, But since Jahal already subjugated the Harval and Volar nations, their military prowess exceeded us greatly, and now, the enemy far outclasses us in terms of quantity. Thus, we can only wait for the reinforcements sent by the other countries that we have diplomatic relationships with. And even with those reinforcements, we're still unsure of our victory. Let's say that right now, we only have around 26 percent chances of winning, with the reinforcements, those chances will rise to 40 percent. With those numbers, it would be hard to win this war." Airi replied to me, looking frustrated over the fact that the enemy has the upperhand.

"So right now, we're in a tight situation huh..."

"Yes, that's why we can only rely on the Gods to guide us through this adversity." She said to me with a little hopeful face.

"Gods huh. By the way, do you happen to know the estimated count of the enemy's forces?" I asked.

"I think I heared Lily onee-sama say that it's already around 10 million troops" replied Airi.

"If it's only ten million, for a person like me who slaughtered around 100 million martial artists and mercenaries alone in just 2 months without sleeping or eating, it won't pose a problem at all." I thought to myself.

Thinking back, it was at that moment that my body went through immense changes, my hair which used to be black turned into silver white, my black eyes turned red, and my abilities skyrocketed immensely.

A few months after the purging of menaces that I commited, Many fighters became my devoted followers after hearing the news about my feats which is the reason why I was able to create my own faction of martial artists called the 'Yggdrasil'. And at the age of 16, I became the founder and king of the world's strongest martial arts faction.

After the conversation, we noticed that the guards stationed at the gates let us pass through after announcing our arrival. The knights and citiziens quickly prepared to welcome our arrival. The atmosphere earlier quickly turned festive. Different kind of noises were made, the crowds welcoming us back were heard, and the marching sound of the knights escorting us to the royal palace.

"Don't you think this too extravagant?" I asked as I listened to the continuous clamoring outside.

"No, this much is normal when welcoming back royalty, even at times of war, we must make sure that everyone doesn't feel panicked or anxious. We want to set everyone's mind and soul at ease, that's why we still conduct lively and fun things like this." Replied Airi with a slight smile on her face, she looks like a princess that genuinely cares for her people.

"Oh? what date is it right now anyways?"

"It's May 24, year 4364"

"When is your birthdate, by the way?" I asked.

"Birthdate? it's on July 16, 4349 why?"

"No, nothing."

It looks like this world's calendar system is the same from my world. Now that's a problem solved, I won't have to study it then.

"Umm, Lucas-sama, about your abilities... shall we keep them under wraps temporarily?" Asked Heize.

"Hmm? It's not like I'm intent on hiding it but, you can do as you like." I replied nonchalantly.

"From our travels these past 2 days, I think Lucas-sama seems like the type of person who doesn't want that much attention on him. So for now, let's just keep things under wraps. I will inform the other knights that traveled with us about this later."

"If that's your desision, then do as you like..."

After about half an hour, we finally arrived at the front garden of the huge palace, the garden is full of beautiful flowers with a fountain in the middle. At the center of the fountain, there is a statue of a woman that looks like a God with her right hand up in the air, holding a glowing ball that produces the water.

"We've finally arrived, let's go, Nii-sama!" said Airi as she held my left arm.

Seeing this cute and excited side of hers gives me a soothing feeling. It feels as if your problems are getting erased.

The doors of the carriage opened and the knights and maids at both side of a stone path bowed to us.

"""WELCOME BACK, AIRI-SAMA AND 2ND PRINCE"""

Their welcoming voices rang out through the entire garden.

To be honest, I was glad that the welcomes are only extravagant to this extent. If it were my old world, who knows just how much those subordinates of mine would've spent to make my welcome back banquet magnificent than necessary.

There was even a time when they just spent around 10 billion USD for my return from a 1 month mission. I had to reprimand them after that.

Just because our company holds 68 percentage of the world's entire resources, doesn't mean we should splurge carelessly.

After receiving the welcomes of the people around us, Heize-san escorted us inside the palace. The exterior design of the palace was great, you can see the fine details in almost every corners.

After entering, I saw its beautiful interior. Although it's inferior compared to those in the Realm of the Gods, it stll can considered as majestic. The refined stone walls, intricate gold designs, the huge windows made of colored glass, the huge golden chandelier hanging at the roof giving off an elegant feeling.

Almost everything around here is well designed. There were also different kinds of paintings and relics placed everywhere, making the place look more sophisticated.

After looking around, A certain painting caught my eyes.

"Isn't this..."

I walked towards the painting to examine it, the painting portrays a naked male on the left lying down with his hands in the air, and a clothed old man in the right.

"This is the painting called 'The creation of adam'."

"Yes, it's a painting that the 137th otherworlder named Arman made, he said that this painting was the valued work of a great artist back in his world." Heize said to me.

It looks like some otherworlders are making quite a business here by selling these kinds of imported goods.

"Anyways, shall we head to the Living room? His and Her Majesties must be waiting for the both of you along with His and Her Highness"

"Yes."

After checking on other things, I decided to follow Heize and Airi to the living room where I'm gonna meet my supposedly new relatives.

In my entire life on Earth, I've been meeting with all kinds of influential people, from a popular figure to the president of a country. I've met every kind of bigwigs there is but I didn't feel nervous in front of them. Not because of my lack of emotions at those times, but because I consider them as just average people.

But now, I'm about to meet my new family and a real royalty. I can't help but feel a little nervous at the thought of it, but not enough to make me falter.

"Hey, is that the 2nd prince?"

"He looks so handsomee."

"I know right? for us to be able to see and serve someone like him... it feels like a dream."

"I know right? I hope he notices me."

"Who do you think looks better, Prince Vin or the second prince?"

"It's the second prince of course, just look at him, I'm not talking lightly of Prince Vin, but the second prince is just on a whole another level compared to him."

I could hear every whispers made by the maids around us.

After walking for 4 minutes, we arrived in front of a large door.

Heize slowly opened the door for us and I was slowly greeted by the sight of a beautiful and elegant room with 6 people inside.
