I might wonder why this world has been throwing me down from the start. The kingdom is at stake. What does that mean? I came here and the first thing I hear from a man I don't know is that the kingdom is on the line and ministers and generals are waiting for me.
Great, new attractions await me from the very arrival. If my surprise is that the country that threatened the Thracians has declared war, they will have to be destroyed, but I doubt that would be it, this information reached me quickly. According to the papers, the kingdom expected a possible attack, so it sent soldiers and warships to secure the sea. So it must be something more dangerous to threaten the very existence of the state. Well, I won't know anything just thinking about it, the only source of information now available is this meeting. Also, what this man said tells me that the ministers and generals take my word for it, since they are waiting for me to start the meeting, it gives me a very good position as a leader. I should go there immediately.
So I asked
“Is the transport ready yet?”
“A transport has been prepared to take the king to the meeting place”
"Okay then take me to him"
"Yes it is my king"
Following the man leading me, I can see a lot of paintings on the walls showing my person. How narcissistic of me. I also see red and white flags hanging from the walls to the floor, one thing that surprised me is the security that is at every corner. Those security guard whose task is to make sure that no unauthorized person sneaks into the property. Passing by them, I see how each one lowers his head, I honestly don't know why they do it. I haven't done anything yet, maybe the culture of this country obliges?
Reaching the end of our road, I finally see the world before my eyes, white fluffy clouds appear in the sky, and the sun comes out in the distance, which is covered by the treetops, which means that a new morning has come, and the roadside bushes that decorate the estate reach the gate , where each of them has an armed bodyguard. There are cars in the driveway, exactly three black ones. These are not the latest models. I think these cars may be from the 18th century at least where I come from.
Oh, that's my car! Seeing as the man who had guided me opened the door to the one middle car for me was waiting until i entered the car.
Crash
The door was closed.
Strangely, the man who was driving me did not get into the same car as me, but into the first car in front of us.
Suddenly the cars started moving, finally we will changed scenery. Maybe I'll see what level of technological advancement we are after the cars. I don't bode anything good, which is another thing that will hinder my plans to implement my ideals.
Leaving the property, we drove through stretches of forest. Strangely, there was no monster lurking in them, except for rabbits that I saw hiding somewhere behind the trees.Coming out of the forest, a city slowly appears in front of us, I do not see skyscrapers that modern cities have at least one. So the 18th century is where this country stands technologically. This is a difficult situation for me, because new technologies can only be invented by people who are here, I can only give them an idea for such.
After all, I don't know how to build modern tanks, I don't know the techniques used in city construction.
Wondering when we'll get there and not wanting to think that the road I've chosen will be hard, I ask the driver
"When will we get there?"
”30 minutes and we will be in the capital, I hope that my driving does not cause any inconvenience”
I think your driving is too slow but I can't blame you for that but technology that apparently isn't as advanced as I thought.
"Quite the opposite"
"I'm glad to hear that"
I think it would be a good idea to get some information from him in the meantime.
“So what do you think of the state”
“As a subordinate or a citizen?”
“Of course, as a citizen, I don't want to hear sweetening”

"As you wish my king then -"
In detail, he told me that the kingdom had lost its former course and was headed for collapse, and that only 7 years after the civil war, reforms were started, which are slowly beginning to heal the wounds of the civil war, and the increasingly threatening threat to the alliance only grows stronger.
What interested me was the rumors that people are circulating that I became seriously ill after the civil war and that's why I'm less active in the political world, that's why some people started to come out of their holes and are more visible.
One thing I find odd is the date of the civil war that allegedly took place 7 years ago which destroys the speculation about my age.
Further information to obtain them I would have to abandon my role of ruler and openly admit that I am not, which I find stupid.
In the end, I can't admit that I don't know anything about this country at all, at least I think so.
Approaching the capital, I can see the first houses that look inhabited, which caught my attention is that each of them has a red and white flag.
If it is patriotism, it is nice to see it, but if it was forced on them, I noticed something that needs to be changed.
Finally, entering the center, I can see crowds of people. I expected more cars so I wanted to know what causes such a small number. Of course, I can also see flags here, whether it's a country of flagophiles or today is an important day to remember, I'm not sure about these things.
Finally, reaching the destination, I saw a large building, very guarded, and in one moment we stopped.
Suddenly, the door was opened for me by what I guess is a security guard, so I left without thinking what to do.
"My king, we have awaited your arrival with joy, may I ask you to follow me to the meeting place?"
"Of course"
Following him through the corridors nothing looks interesting to describe and finally we approach the door.
Outside the door I can hear arguments that don't seem to be getting louder.
Without waiting for the door to open for me, I overtake him and open it myself.
When I opened the room I see people dressed in military clothes and suits, each of them turned their heads towards me as if someone uninvited invited themselves into the room without knocking first and after a long moment out of curiosity who could be stupid enough to invite in, only horror was left on their faces when they noticed that this someone is none other than their king. It's as if they didn't expect me to come here even though they invited me here.
Ignoring everyone here, I walk to the chair that doesn't seem to be occupied and sit on it.
"So gentlemen, why don't you also sit down and tell me what's so important that I had to go to the trouble of coming here, I hope it's a really important thing."
When the atmosphere calmed down and there was silence, one of the generals in the room broke it and said.
“King, our country is in an unknown location, we do not yet know what caused our relocation. In addition, we are unable to contact our allied Thracian nation and the status of our fleet and troops deployed within 20 km of our sea is unknown.”
I asked
"How big an army are you talking about?"
“We have lost contact with 20 warships and 4,500 troops deployed as part of the alliance and ...”
“And what [Say]!”
"And all the islands belonging to the kingdom with a total of 20,000 soldiers and 48 of our fleet for the purpose of defending these islands"
I think I know what's going on here, not only I was transported, but also the whole country except for the islands that were too far away or were not planned to be transported, these are my guesses. Altogether, we've lost contact with 24,500 troops and 68 ships, and I don't know what kind of world it is. What if it's a less realistic world I mean what if it's a magical world since the beginning when I came here I didn't even check if it's possible.
I say without paying attention to my surroundings
