There's something I've been thinking about for a while now. I want to build an airship. I've been here a few months now, and it feels strange being stuck on one island for so long, especially an island as big as this one.

So, I was wondering if anyone had experience with building ships? Or just mechanics in general, and would know how to make some of the parts? I'm sure there are schematics in the library, though Vyse and Enrique would know that better than me. The main thing I'm worried about is what sort of fuel it would run on, since there don't seem to be any moonstones in Asgard.

Oh, right! Aoto said that the airships in his world were probably very different to the ones I'm thinking of, so I drew a picture of one!







If you help out, we might make you part of our crew! Vyse is the captain, before anyone tries to claim that one.

My father, the previous Emperor, did not want what my mother is doing right now with Valua. He wanted to seek peaceful negotiations with all of Arcadia, not see to it that Valua slaughters others in the name of progress. I'm not only thinking of what is best for all the nations, but following my father's example for a more peaceful world.

It takes more than a generation for Valua to be put in the state it is.

I've seen your Valua's segregation and poverty firsthand. I've seen how your lower classes live in filth and squalor. Do not raise your father up as a martyr. He may have had delusions of change, but the current state of your homeland proves he lacked any of the spine to actually initiate it. I feel no sympathy.

Do not paint me as the villain simply because I am willing to do what it takes.

You know nothing about my father or what he thought of doing. Valua was very different when he reigned as Emperor, it was only when my mother became Empress did things change drastically. So don't ever talk about my father in that regard again or as if you knew him. He worked hard to be a good and kind ruler to the people of Valua, he wanted everyone to have happiness in their lives. I want the same as my father and I will follow in his footsteps to change Valua back to the way it was before he died.

And I would not paint you in that manner if you did not believe slaughtering innocent lives is the only way for peace, but as it stands that is your beliefs.

If you honestly believe that it only takes a single empress's reign that has barely lasted 20 years to instill the culture of your Upper and Lower City, then you're more blinded by your own prejudice than I thought.

[Ramirez, you don't even know the ideas Enrique has about his father. Especially since his father died when he was a tiny Enrique.]

Of course I don't believe such a thing, but my father did try and make Valua a more peaceful nation while extending a hand of peace to the other nations. He was a kind man and I won't allow anyone to speak ill of him or his memory. Especially not one of my own country's Admirals.

[Oh honey you gon' learn today]

Your father was ineffective. Though far be it from me to agree with your mother's principles.

[noblejustice]

[Yeah, that does it. He's had enough.]

That's enough. Stop insulting my family so lightly, Admiral. First you spit on my father's memory then you mock my mother, I won't allow it anymore.

[argyria]

[Shame. He was just getting started.]

Your family does a fair job of insulting themselves.

Stop me, then. Prove me wrong. I won't lie to your face like your simpering housemaids.

Meet me in front of the Sigyn House, we'll settle this once and for all. If you have an extra sword, bring it with you.
