The turbulence is great at sea, Ezra feels somewhat nauseous but has no choice but to hold it in and wait ti'll they get to the shore. In the meantime, the crew is look out at sea.

"The shore! We have reached the shore!" A crew member shouts and the members on board rejoice at the words but Ezra doesn't share the same happiness as he is trying to keep himself from being covered in vomit.

The ship arrives at shore, the crew all leave off board and begin talking with people, buyers and other influential individuals. They all seem to be quite powerful millitary personel as they all wear a specific uniform, a jacket of white, purple and blue coloring.

The blue sleeves tightly cover the arms with a white one-finger mitt on their middle fingers, they wear a short sleeved thin button jacket of white coloring with purple stripes going across the whole jacket.

The pants are tightly fitting, they hold the same design as the jacket while one of them is wearing golden shoulder guards. They are all men.

They start speaking about payment outside, to Ezra and Johan the words only sound like murmurs until they hear footsteps closely aproaching the storage room.

As the door opens the people begin conversing.

"Here are the supplies." The member says.

"Good, i'll bring my men and take them to the chariot." The commanding officer says.

The crew member nods and they levae the room, Johan starts panicking.

He turns to Ezra and calls for him in whispers but Ezra is fast asleep in the box. The men enter, taking two boxes from the room each until only the corner boxes remain.

"Hey, Arnold (speaking to his mate), this one is kinda heavy."

"There is probably something important for the Grandmaster inside, just don't drop it." Arnold says.

He carries Ezra and Johan away and puts them in the Luxurios cart behind the chariot, the chariot is a black and brown combination of colors and looks regular otherwise.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"To the diamond palace!" the commanding officer orders.

Johan calms down while on the road and Ezra still slumbers, Johan looks out of a tiny hole in the box out of curiosity.

He sees a steampunk city for which he had only heard of in books previously, the chariot takes them on the road in the middle of the city with bystanders looking at them, some look spiteful, some happy and some confused or curious, but at the end of the day they wish not to dig too deep into the business of the Commonthought family.

They are thought of as ruthless and powerful, to secure their rule they eliminated all other noble clans in order to form a dictatorship under the advice of Darryl Commonthought.

Thus becoming the most feared and powerful in the whole region, so powerful that even the other nations who are possibly stronger than Seelvia still try to keep good relations by sucking up to them.

They pass through the city, with the diamond palace in their sight the horses which pull the chariot glow in gold and speed up, reaching the palace in seconds.

Before the palace gates are two soldiers and multiple others are patroling around the gates. The chariot parks closely by the gates and the leash connected to the horses is tied around a wooden pole.

The soldiers patroling come to take the boxes until the door of the chariot opens and all of them stop and bow.

"Take the two heavy boxes to the Grandmaster, the rest should be taken after." The soldiers comply and The commanding officer follows.

The inner palace walls are a deep blue color, like the depths of the ocean, the moment a person steps foot into the diamond palace they instantly feel at ease. It is merely a myth, however, as most people aren't allowed into the palace, and still, the palace doesn't feel nearly as great as the myth tells.

They enter the throne room when the Grandmaster is waiting on the throne with his son, Yuta, beside him.

The Grandmaster request for the boxes to be opened, and so they are only to reveal a sleeping boy and a scared boy.

Ezra, who only now awoke, stretches, looks around with a confused look and then looks at the grandmaster.

To the guards' surprise the Grandmaster starts laughing.

"Oh, i haven't seen a joke this funny ever since that jester died, funniest thing he ever did." Gray cannot contain his laughter, "I guess you can stay, intruders, it would be amusing to have you around."

"When is dinner coming?" Ezra asks while scratching his head.

"Ha, Ha, Ha! He even thinks like me! I have a feeling we are gonna get along just fine." He says before choking on his saliva.

Johan rushes at Gray with both his swords activated, and Gray quickly knocks him out with a single mana touch on the plexus.

"Prepare a room for the younger one, throw the feisty one in jail for now."

Both Ezra and Johan get dragged into their respective rooms, Yuta and Gray are left alone.

"What do you see in those children, father?"

"The younger one has potential, both look powerful in their own right."

"Usually you don't care about potential though?"

"I don't, but one of the children acted just like my father, maybe, he could have the Commonthought dissorder."
