A tsunami was coming

"Ambassadors Wynne and Thomas from Pulchritudinem Kingdom are coming for state visit!"

Two people showed up in the official meeting room in the palace, one was wearing gown and the other was armed with battle suit. It could be easily seen that there were differences of armed forces between Pulchritudinem and the queendom just by the battle suit. The battle suit of queendom was lighter and thinner, which looked like just a simple piece of clothes from the outlooking. While the battle suit of Pulchritudinem was more like heavy equipment with metal shell. Although the ambassadors had been asked to turn in their weapons, the battle suit worn by one of them still shocked the elites in the room a little. Among them, the queen couldn't find her brother's presence. Without much time to find him back, the meeting proceeded.

Katharina seemed to be calm and said, "welcome, friends from Pulchritudinem."

"Your majesty, our king Nero sent his greetings." Ambassador Thomas with the gown said but they didn't show any intention to kneel.

"Thank you, ambassador Wynne and ambassador Thomas. Please also send my greetings back to King Nero. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I hope he's doing well."

"Thank you, your majesty. Our king is doing great, but he's increasingly worried about his aging body. Has mentioned many times in the early meeting with us, He's quite anxious especially when it comes to our Prince Tiberius. So he sent us here to have a discussion about the arranged marriage of our Prince Tiberius and Princess Fiona."

The truth was Katharina had already sent official message to the kingdom and explained everything. She also said she would provide offerings. But the kingdom still sent people here and pretended not knowing everything, so she guessed that the kingdom must want more of offerings. She cooperated their acting and patiently summarized what happened recently and mildly turned the marriage down, which infuriated ambassadors.

"What? How could queendom promise and then deny in succession?!"

"I'm terribly sorry, but love just happened. We can't predict or decline it. I've also provided an offer in the official message to your king. So seems like he haven't told you. What a bummer! I'm afraid you might have to confirm it with your kingdom, but no worry. We'll provide comfortable place for you to have a rest while waiting for your king's reply."

Hearing that the queen would want them to be the hostage, the face of ambassador Wynne, the one with the armour suit, turned red, but was immediately stopped by ambassador Thomas, who said: "we wouldn't want to let down your hospitality, your majesty, but we do have our king's message. He wants princess Fiona, or, the queendom provides 3000 tons of fish and plant per year to our kingdom per year. Otherwise, the king might need to confront your majesty by himself. I'm afraid that won't do any good for our relations."

An elite Credo couldn't stop and shouted: "that's over half of our annual income!"

Katharina looked at him and gave him a signal to shut up. Then she said, "I'm afraid that's way more than we can afford, but it's also impolite for the king Nero to come over in person. I'm worried that the long journey won't be nice to his body, and I believe there might be a way to coordinate our capability and your demands. After all, we have to prepare enough food for our little pets, which you of course know can't afford starving."

The ambassador still wanted to argue, "where is prince Jonathan? He came to our kingdom to arrange the marriage. We'd like to see him and listen to his explanation!"

"I don't know where…"

"I'm here!" Jonathan showed up, "sorry, your majesty, I'm late for the meeting". He strode towards the ambassador Thomas, "you want an explanation? This is one."

As a flash of cold light, he had stabbed a dagger to Thomas' chest.

All happened so fast. Katharina was the first to react, she yelled: "kill the other!" Then, Jonathan and other soldiers were waving their weapons to Wynne. However, his armor was too hard to be hurt. At this time, he took off his left arm, which turned out to be a small-sized railgun.

"Wynne, you and Thomas took weapons to our palace, despising our honor. I, as the queen, sentence you to death!" As saying this, Katharina was also reaching her trident and going to kill him. 'I can't let him go back!' She thought, the death of ambassador Thomas would just give them a perfect chance to start the war, so she had to find a reason to kill them both. Jonathan's decision of suddenly killing Thomas was such a bad idea!

Thomas saw the queen was coming to him. Without any hesitation, he turned the railgun on and shot towards her.

"Bang!"

Along with a loud noise, Katharina was blasted off the ground. She didn't get much hurt however, because Jonathan ran towards her and stood in front her before that.

The other side, Wynne seized the chance, knocked down the soldiers and ran away.

"Go get him! Notice the General Fergus! Don't let him run out of the queendom alive! Take him to me! No matter he's alive or dead!" Katharina ordered the soldiers. Then, she turned to those elites, who were hiding behind, "you… useless! Call the doctor!"

In her arms, Jonathan slowly opened his eyes, "sister… you okay? You hurt?"

"No, I'm not hurt. I'm okay. You fool! I won't get hurt. Why you do that?! You stay up with me okay?" Tears were filled up with her eyes, forgetting to complaining him for killing the ambassador Thomas.

"I will. I will. That gun cannot take away my life. But, still powerful. I, I told you, to trade the weapons with them…"

"I'm sorry for getting you involved. I'm sorry. I shouldn't listened to you. Stay, stay up with me, please."

"It's okay. I'll be fine." Then he closed his eyes.

The doctor came very fast and took away Jonathan.

"Your majesty, please don't worry. It's lucky that the prince has worn the battle suit, so he won't die. But he'll need more rest."

Then, the messenger came and reported that General Fergus almost caught ambassador Wynne, who fought back hard. In the battle, General Fergus threw a trident and impaled ambassador Wynne, but then a squad came to his aid and took him away, not knowing if he was dead or not.

Katharina was intense and worried. As long as Pulchritudinem had Wynne's body, no matter he was alive or dead, they would start a conflict on this account. A tsunami would come.
