Author's Memo: Greetings people! I bring here the last chapter my buddy, the PR Ultrabenosaurus PRed! I now have to continue writing and wait for his PR...

Well! Lets stop the depressing thing! I posted the new story! And I don't plan to rush that one. I'll be slowing posting chapters and I'll probably change this one too.

Because I need time to write both stories and to get them PRed!

Have a good read and puddings!!!

Marin PoV

They had prepared a bedroom for everyone! And what's more we gained a cool tech thing! Hy-kun will definitely love that bonus. It was really to understand how to use it and my robot maid, Clair, explained how to use anything I wasn't sure about step by step. It took me some time to learn how to sort the messages and the thoughts… But after I got used to that it was really easy to use and I could even use my phone through it, too!

Clair bowed before saying that if I needed anything I should send her a message, and promptly leaving to do maid things, I guess. The bedroom was awesome! It was big and it had its own bath! The bed was comfy, I will sleep with ease on that thing. But what I craved the most were the fruits placed inside the basket on the table! It had apples, strawberries, oranges and much more! And it was all mine! I ate some apples before eating some strawberries, they were sweet yet sour. Delicious!

Hy-kun, how is your bed?

It’s normal. Do you think that the Queen will let me see their factory tomorrow if I ask her?

Is that all you want to see here? And I think the Queen would agree, as long as you're closely monitored and don't try to touch or steal things. And Hy-kun…why did you not get scared by the King?

Well… Probably I am to excited to notice the small details… and the way he spoke to me was not that of a follower, a rival, or a teacher… It was sorta of like you. Do you understand what I want to say?

Obviously! Who do you think I am? Anyway, let‘s sleep, it will be day in a few hours… Good night Hy-kun.

Night Marin.

Hmm… I open my eyes and look around… ‘Where am I?’ I couldn’t remember, I was so sleepy that it took me a full minute before I could wake up enough to remember that we were at the Mechatronic race's castle. It looked like an extinct race.

Good morning, General Marin. Our Lords are inviting you and your friends to join for breakfast. I would like to know if you would be amenable to being escorted to the hall in half an hour?

That will be fine. I’ll be prepared to go then.

As you command.

In exactly 30 minutes I heard my door being knocked.

“*Knock* *Knock* General Marin, I’m here to guide you to the dinner hall.” She announced behind the door.

“Just let me finish!” I put on a hairpin Hy-kun had given me when we were 4. It was an ice-blue color and I loved it. Today I had chosen to wear a red dress, it played well with my blue eyes and they change to purple. I loved this light play. With a smile I leave my room and with a bow the maid starts to walk, guiding me. She would never walk faster or slower, always walking in the same manner.

I was looking at the walls but nothing was covering them. They looked a little dull but for some reason they looked perfect even without anything more than a wall. I was looking here and there and once in awhile I would see a Clockwork or a Construct cleaning, tinkering or moving things. From the windows I could see how they moved. No one tried to assault the other, and if someone needed a piece of anything they should just discuss how much it cost. No one was yelling. The city looked pale but it had it’s own charm.

Leaving my daydreaming, I could see Clair had opened a door for me.

“Demon General Marin Teardrop” Her voice rang over the people present. I was the last one to come. She left with a bow after I had found my seat between Hy-kun and Gonya.

No one had plates placed before them, it was like we were going to eat air.

“I know you all want to ask some questions, but let’s chat while we eat.” The Queen looked less formal, but her clothing was so beautiful that my eyes would always would return to her clothes. A black dress with red details. I could see a beautiful necklace and a jeweled, golden gear hairpin was in her hair. The King was wearing a dark blue robe with two purple chinese dragons revolving around him before resting their heads on his shoulders… That pattern was so beautiful that I thought the dragons were real. “You can bring the food now. Our guests look hungry.”

The table had been filled. Entering from all kinds of openings around the room, small robots walked leaving plates and plates full of hot food. “You don’t need to rush and start to eat now, the plates have been enchanted and can maintain the food's temperature for 12 hours. Just wait for the drones to finish their job so that you don't miss anything.” The King said when he saw our hungry faces. It was then I found a strange ring on his left hand's ring finger, a dragon biting its own tail. The color matched the Queen's necklace, and the boy smiled when I took of my gaze from his hand to look at his wife's chest.

“So you noticed it. The necklace was the first thing I gave to her, I mined and crafted that myself. We named it The Winged Amethyst Egg. My third present to her was the hairpin, which I gave the name of Sun’s Wish. And yes, I made that too.” She smiles to me. “This ring was the second present Lilith gave me, she named it after the necklace, The Amethyst Dragon.”

“King, if that was the second present, what had she given you before?” Gonya asked. She really goes straight to the point. I could see everyone nodding.

“A new family. That was the first present she gave me. But she didn’t know it until yesterday.”

“They” Trui started in a child like voice.

“are” Treo continued like her brother.

““blushing!”” They had created an illusion of themselves as kids to match the voice.

“Stupid duo! Do you not know that they are answering the question of Gon-chan?!” Reter punched both siblings’ head.

““We’re sorry.”” ‘They are not!’ I wanted to shout but Y’allaer was already laughing.

“They really are amusing. Thanks for that, Captains Obvious.” The King joked with them. “It looks like we can eat, the drones have finished. As my mother always said, feast until you can’t eat any more.” A sad smile appeared on his face. ‘Oh shit! His mother is dead! And it looks like his father died too!’ All of them had sent the same message I thought just now. And I send it to them, too.

“Ah, sorry. I think I killed the mood! Don’t mind it, now she is happy and I can see her once in awhile! And now I have my beloved Queen, too. So I regret nothing!”

The Queen smashed his head with his spoon. “Stop making the mood heavy or I’ll make you sleep on the balcony for a week!” Wow… ‘Is he her pet?’ We could all hear his apology, and the breakfast was gulped down. Almost literally. The taste was divine! It was nothing like we had eaten before in this world!

“Lacie, your food is great as always! It certainly was a good idea asking Alicia to teach one of the Constructs how to cook.” The King remarks. “Now that we have finished breakfast, it's time to do some exercises. Do any of you want to participate or watch?” As suspected, the Queen is the Brains and the King is the Brawns.

“I want a duel!” Havok said while getting up.

“I want one as well.” Lakuen too?

““WE WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU TOO!”” The noisy duo reappear.

“If it’s possible, I also want one round.” Reter probably wanted to show his power too.

"I want to go one round too! I want to see what you can do against me!" Freyki probably wanted to try to pull down the King's pants... Or do something that he thinks would be seen as funny.

“So the others are going to pass? Okay then, everyone, change your clothes and join me at the Knights’ training ground. Your maids can guide you if you're not sure. I’ll have a round with you all there.” He smirked…

“Queen… Who would win in the battles between them?” I asked the Automata.

“Not enough data. I know nothing of your party's combat abilities, so it’s impossible to predict how this is going to conclude.” She shakes her head to my question. “Demon Lord Hysterya, it looks like you wanted to ask me something, so go ahead.” She has a gentle smile on her face.

“Queen Lilith, would it be possible for me to see one of the factories that creates the Clockworks?” He goes straight to the point as always.

“You can whenever you want, Demon Lord Hysterya. Anyone who enters this city is free to do what they want. But don’t forget that we have laws and we will punish whoever breaks them.” She had a smile. “I need to go and see some of my subjects. We ended up with a few too many, and we’re still trying to finish sorting all of the children we saved in the human kingdom last week.”

Now I had all the pieces of the puzzle. They probably attacked and trashed the kingdom in self-defense and to show how powerful they are, and they kidnapped the kids that would have been killed for their mana while they were at it. I talk to her about what we had seen and what we had found in the ruined city. She says that she has the videos of the battle and asked if I wanted to watch them, but I feared to watch the death of the kids in the castle. When I told that to her she just nods and says that those videos will not be uploaded to my Gondo.

It was a short battle and I could see what messages they sent and what they got back. It looked like two hours of complete slaughter, but the one thing I wasn't given videos of was mentioned in the end. The message that the King had sent to the team leaders. As I thought, he was the one that attacked that castle personally. It's good that I didn’t have his part of the video, I would probably vomit everything I had just eaten.

It was a short video, just 10 minutes, but I understood the reasons for the attack when I saw the humans trying to destroy the Knight with the kid. He lost his arm but he continued and even used the limb as a club to protect the other kids.

I ask my maid to guide me to the knights’ training ground. I had changed my clothes to a more casual outfit. And as five of our best Generals were going to fight the King, I couldn’t sit here and do nothing! I would go and see with my own eyes what he is made of.
