It was 7 o'clock in the morning when the nobles rose early, eager to begin their day. After preparing themselves, they made their way to the restaurant where a delicious breakfast awaited them.

Duke Gorge was delighted with the breakfast, he was very excited to try the delicacies food offered by the Bernard Empire. He resembled a child in a fast-food restaurant, eyes wide with anticipation, ready to eat his food

It was not only Duke Gorge who was excited, but Marquis Sam was also looking forward to what dish they would eat. Discover more content at empire

A few minutes later, a waiter comes to their table pushing a cart. When the waiter arrived, he immediately placed the food on the nobles' table and explained what they were serving.

"Good morning, gentlemen and madam. This is your breakfast for today," he announced.

"For Sir Gorge, our chef has prepared pandesal, beef tapa, and an omelette sandwich, paired with a rich cappuccino."

"For Madame Milana, we have an American-style breakfast featuring a four-layer pancake drizzled with apple syrup, accompanied by eggs and crispy bacon. This is complemented by sweet, fresh mango juice, delivered just this morning from the largest farm near the hotel."

"For Sir Sam, we have prepared Japanese karaage and ramen, served alongside a bowl of miso soup."

"And for Lady Aqua, we present an omelette filled with sweet chorizo and a foot-long tuna sandwich topped with melted cheese."

With that, the waiter stepped back, leaving the nobles to savour their first meal in the Empire.

Duke Gorge took a bite of his pandesal sandwich, and an expression of pure bliss washed over his face.

"This bread has a delightful saltiness that perfectly complements the sweet meat and egg," he exclaimed. "It tingles my taste buds, telling me this is the best food I have ever eaten!"

Duke Gorge gobbled up the sandwich like a monster who hadn't eaten in days. Without realizing it, Duke Gorge had finished the three sandwiches that had been served.

Seeing this, the rest of the nobles began to eat. They all ate one of the most delicious dishes in their lives.

After breakfast, the nobles prepared for their next engagement: a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. At 8:40 a.m., a coaster was ready for them, and the nobles were intrigued by this mode of transport. Marquis Sam even speculated whether the coaster could be utilized for military operations.

As they boarded the coaster, each noble took a seat by the window, while several guards were already seated inside. They are members of ISSD. There are also two ISSD cars at the front and back of the coaster.

Duke Gorge was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the roads they travelled on, marvelling at the materials used in their construction. Duchess Milana, equally captivated, approached a guard to inquire about the road's composition.

"I'm very sorry, ma'am, but we can't disclose any information until you become a committed ally," the guard replied, leaving Duchess Milana feeling somewhat insulted.

As they continued their journey, Duchess Milana's attention was drawn to a massive iron structure lying alongside the road. Curiosity piqued, she asked the guard about the peculiar sight.

"Hey, that giant weird-looking snake that was just lying there. Is it a beast made of iron?"

The guard looked confused when he looked at Milana, but as soon as he looked out the window, he immediately understood what Milana was asking and answered her.

"Oh! That giant snake-like object is actually a train," the guard explained, realizing her confusion," The railways are still being built here, so it hasn't been operational yet."

Milana looked at the guard, raising one eyebrow, and asked, "What is this?"

The guard explained, "Well, that was a giant snake you saw; it's used to transport large numbers of people and is good at travelling long distances at incredible speeds."

Milana was shocked by this discovery, thinking about how beneficial it would be in terms of economic development. She knew that shipping goods at high speed would be very beneficial to the economy because she had studied the reasons why their country was struggling economically. In one of her studies, she had come to the conclusion that the economy was affected by shipping goods precisely because most goods rot before reaching their customers, merchants lose money and reduce the supply of goods.

Another reason is that merchants and traders also take away a large portion of their income while travelling. We spend a large portion of our income on daily needs, especially when travelling for months, which results in them losing profits.

There was also a problem with easily rotting food, fish, meat and fruit, which are salted to keep them longer during travel, which increases the cost of the product. This also affects the poor, who are also the main labour force of the country. This causes the poor, who are very important in terms of labour, to become less productive due to hunger and low morale, which leads to a decrease in the country's income.

With determination, Milana clenched her fists and vowed to herself {I will obtain this transportation technology and help our country improve.}

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the nobles arrived at the Foreign Minister's office. The Foreign Minister James greeted the nobles and led them into the conference room.

For the Nobles, this was the first battle they had to fight when they came here.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs introduced himself and delivered an opening speech.

"Okay, good morning to you all, I am James, the Foreign Minister of this country. I have read your profile and the reasons why you are here. In fact, I met your Queen during our first contact a few months ago. However, since you were not there, this is my first meeting with you, and I look forward to discussing the potential for an alliance between our nations. I believe that such a partnership could be mutually beneficial, but we must understand that alliances require more than just friendship. Therefore, I would like to know what you hope to achieve from this alliance."
