Chapter 40 - War
Despite being confused by their actions, I still took a look at the item.
The item was 7 cm in height and 15 cm in length. It looked like it was painted in the gold color but taking a double look I realized it wasn't painted gold, It was gold.
There was also some things written on the item but I didn't care enough to look at it. Because my attention was on them as I thought.
I get why they are bowing and everything but why the golden item. Didn't I already told them tha i just want a simple apology.
I get my act up as I put my left leg over the right one and my facial expression changed to a one that said 'I don't give a shit' as I said to them in nonchalant manner "Oh! and what's this?
"This is our apology to you. please accept it young master." The unknown man said.
"Well you are insisting so why not." I said and leaned forward to take the item.
After taking the item from them and accepting their apology I looked at the golden item and realized that it was a train ticket and there were two sides on it, one for the passenger and one for the conductor. I look at the left side which was the passengers side.

After looking at the passengers side I turned to look at the conductors side.
Name of Passenger : William Trust
From : Battknares To : Alliance Federation
Train : 5123 Room : 02
As I looked over the conductors side I realized that there was a design of a train in the background of the ticket.
"This is our most elegant train ticket sir, this will allow you to stay in our Level Four facility." The unknown man said.
"Why did you do this? I was already going to buy a ticket anyway."
"This was our way to ask you for your forgiveness. I know my employees-es" The unknown man said and looked at Mary, as she turned her head away and said "Have gone a little bolder now a days so please accept it."
"I already accepted it, why are you asking for forgiveness so much. By the way what should I call you?" I ask the unknown man.
The unknown man said with a professional smile "Please call me Pascal, I am the branch manager of this branch."
"Alright Pascal, what is th-" I stopped myself as I was about to ask what the Alliance Federation really is.
If I were to ask what it is, I'm sure that they would instantly suspect and try to detain me for the Royal Forces.
I can say that with certainty is because the name itself 'Alliance Federation' sounds too important for someone to not know and second it was a federation, that in itself told me that someone in my position should at least know the basics of them.
I continued from where I left off "I meant what time is it right now?"
Pascal looked at his wrist where there was a mechanical band wrapped around the wrist and just looked it. Suddenly the wrist without being touched or anything showed a hologram of the time in blue light.
"It's 01:50 right now. There is still 10 minutes before your train leaves so in the meanwhile, you should enjoy our facilities."
We started to talk and just like that 8 minutes came to a close as I got ready to leave.
In the 8 minutes I learned a few things Like the guy Pascal is nice but he's smart as well. In the various moments he subtlety started to ask questions about my origins.
I may not be quite smart but I wasn't a fool either. I dodged all of his questions with some answers that should maybe suit it but not tell much about me.
I did learn that the train station was actually made by the 5th Tudor King. Not solely by him as all the other kingdoms were in on it as well but his contribution was the most of all the kingdoms.
The 5th Tudor King was a firm believer in peace. This project of the trains was his life passion as he believed that it would make the kingdoms which were mostly at war with each others closer and that his dream of a one combined kingdom will be achieved by his descendants.
His project did wield results as it made the kingdoms grow a lot closer and made the surrounding kingdoms grow in economical circumstances as well.
The train project could have been made a lot earlier as civilization has progressed by then but their were problems similar to if the kingdoms will actually withhold their agreement and stay true to their word or not. It was precisely because of the 5th Tudor king that project could actually be achieved.
The project staring growing so much and the people too were getting their lives easier as well. So much so that the people started hoping when will one of the kingdoms be joined by marriage or something similar.
But their dreams were crushed as their were people hidden under the darkness that were filled with greed over so many expansive resources that were being transferred from one place to another.
The thought of becoming very rich overnight was something that they couldn't withhold. So they started to steal various things starting from antique sets to dangerous firearms.
But this wasn't only happening in one kingdom as there were three other kingdoms who were being targeted by their local gangs and professional thieves.
The problems were becoming big enough that the kingdoms were starting to become suspicious and started investigating it.
But the problem... the problem in itself had grown by a large force as it was even connected to the higher ups and even some of the royal family members.
And they whispered suspicions of the problem upon the other kingdoms who were also doing the same.
Slowly the trouble was becoming so huge that the kingdoms were preparing for war.
And when the son of the 6th Tudor King died under mysterious circumstances was the catalyst. That was all it needed for the kingdoms to start raging war as the Tudor kingdom was the first to declare it and the Evernight Kingdom was the first to strike.
The wars were going on for decades and the losses of lives were becoming too heavy to burden.
The 8th king of Samara Kingdom saw the dangers of a post apocalyptic future in this never ending war. So the king combined with his advisors and many others started an expedition to stop this bloody war.
The King started with the Tudor kingdom as it was the catalyst. He knew that if he were to convince the kingdoms to stop this war he needed to stop the one who started it all.
The Tudor Kingdom first were angry and that they weren't going to stop until Evernight would be destroyed but the losses of war had been waning on them so much that they finally stopped their rage from destroying themselves.
The Samaras also encourage the Tudor Kingdom to help them by joining the expedition and spreading help to the lost souls who were the main causalities of war.
The Wiseburn Kingdom was the second kingdom to stop. But it was a little peculiar for them. As the Samara nor the Tudor kingdom approached them but they themselves came by their own obligation to join the expedition. But instead of being suspicious, the Samara Kingdom and the Tudor Kingdom were ecstatic to learn of this and both of them wholeheartedly welcomed the Wiseburns in to the expedition.
All three of the kingdoms started to help the ones that were victims of the war. Their joined expedition was greatly successful as the people also started to let go of the rage that was accumulated over the course of decades of violence and loss.
But the Evernight Kingdom was the main problem.
The Evernight Kingdom was a battle crazed Kingdom who lusted for blood and money. And they saw this war as the perfect way to earn a lot of money and let themselves be free to do whatever damage they could to lessen their blood lust.
So the fact that the other three kingdoms were lessening the chaos of the war and trying to stop it was unacceptable for the Evernights. And they again started to scheme behind closed doors and caused massive damage on the expeditions.
The three kingdoms saw the destruction of the Evernight and were enraged so they hatched a plan to quickly take care of them. All the three kingdoms combined all their forces together for one final battle against the Evernights.
The Evernights first the winners of the fight using various dark spells and anything were later getting huge losses as they couldn't stop the massive number of forces that attacked together from all sides. Recognizing their imminent defeat the Evernights quickly called a parley and stopped their mindless slaughter.
And like this a war which has been going on for a thousand years was slowly and finally stopped.
But that could only be achieved because of the 9th Samara kings pursue for peace and a better future for their subjects.
Well this is how pascal recounted to me at least.
But what I heard next... What I heard next was even more astonishing then the War.
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
