Chapter 100: The Grandest of Reveals.

*Celia’s POV*

I woke up to having Lia’s breast in my face. Meanwhile, Nia was hugging my back. Which means that I also could feel her breasts… What a wonderful way to wake up!

After a small breakfast that was provided by the inn, we got onto a carriage. Once again, the carriage was on another level compared to the one back in Tuseoun. This isn’t a jab at Amelie, as I think that she probably has the most expensive carriage in that entire kingdom.

Before we could get on the carriage, I was asked to present a family badge. It’s been a while, but I still had the one that Yona gave me, so I used that. Funnily enough, the carriage had the same emblem. Is Yona funding our trip? Maybe?…

Funnily enough, they spoke a language that I didn’t understand, and they looked shocked when I tried speaking the demon language that I did know. Once Ria beamed the information of the common demon tongue into my mind, the rest was easy.

Along with the carriage, we were provided knights as escorts. Some walked, some rode horses, and some rode flying creatures. All looked to be quite skilled. If I am being honest, I might not be able to win in a fight with them. Maybe one on one, but not if they all decided to attack me at once…

Though, I don’t sense any threat from them at all. Nia hasn’t said anything either, and when I asked her to look into the future, she just let out a hearty laugh, but refused to explain why…

Why the hell did we get so many knights to protect us? Aren’t we just supposed to meet the queen, since she wanted to meet us, and then get down to business? This feels like far more of a welcoming party than necessary. None of us are even royalty…

Nia: “Ah, Celia, you do remember that I am from a very powerful noble family, right?” She asked.

Celia: “You are a noble girl!?” I exclaim.

Lia: “I am too, remember?” She said.

Celia: “Ah, so I am the only non-noble girl in this carriage…” I say with a sigh.

Ria: “I do not have any titles, Celia.” She said with a laugh.

Celia: “Ah, someone that I can relate to!” I say before hugging her.

With that information, I am sure that the reason for such amazing escorts, is because of Lia and Nia. Which would explain why it was delayed by a day. Since it is that simple, I don’t have to worry about it anymore.

*Hours Later.*

A little while ago, some bandits showed up to attack our carriage. As you would expect, they were absolutely destroyed. Why would they attack such a heavily reinforced convoy? It must be something that Yona’s people can do, since only five knights that are walking, are actually visible.

After we set off for a while, most of our escorts turned invisible. Similar to how Yona watched me in secret all that time ago. With just five foot soldiers, the bandits assumed that we would be an easy mark. They were met with the full force of our escorts, and were killed off within minutes.

Since they were able to so easily deal with over thirty bandits, I relaxed and fell asleep in the carriage. It would be many hours until we reached the capital city, after all.

Why bring this up? Because our escorts failed… Well, to be fair, they had no chance against what showed up… A dragon! Not a normal one either. It looked to be ancient. A pure white dragon, basically the size of a small kingdom. What chance did they even have?

Luckily, no one was killed at all. They let the dragon get close, and then it disappeared. Though, it’s not like it went away, the dragon just turned into her human form.

Her human form was that of a beautiful white haired, regal looking woman. Why the fuck did this woman even show up?… She walked up to our carriage, and knocked on our door. We could see her out of the window, but she still wanted us to open the door.

Dragon Woman: “Which one of you is Celia?” She asked with a calm tone.

Celia: “Um… Me.” I answer.

Dragon Woman: “You, is it? Hm… Let me get a good look at you.” She said with a curious tone, before she got into the carriage, and looked me all over.

How many times is someone going to do this to me? I am beginning to tire of it…

Dragon Woman: “She surely made a wonderful choice in adopting you.” She said with a smile, before she left the carriage, and soon flew away in her dragon form.

Celia: “What the fuck?” I ask with a confused expression.

Ria: “Do not worry about it, Celia.” She said.

Nia and Lia, all looked to be pretending that this event didn’t just happen. Fuck… I was so confused, that I didn’t even have a chance to inspect that woman… Who the hell even was she? That woman mentioned me being adopted, is she friends with Amelie, or Yona? Fuck… this makes my head hurt too much…

I shall just take a page out of Nia’s and Lia’s book, and just ignore it. Somehow, I managed to get back to sleep, even after what happened. The convoy seemed to go on without stopping either. Like what happened was a dream…

*More Hours Later.*

Not counting those bandits, and that dragon woman, there weren’t any other incidents on the way to the capital city. The capital city is where the queen lives. So it would be understandable if it was the best place to live in this kingdom. But isn’t this just overkill!? Even Lia was shocked at how amazing this place was…

Nia, of course, wasn’t. Either because she is from this place, or because she already saw into the future. Even stranger, people not only parted the way for our carriage, but it seems like they were throwing a welcome party for us… No, really! It was like we were the main characters of a parade…

Now, this is ABSOLUTELY overkill! We’re just here to make a deal, why does it feel like we’re hero’s coming back from a grim war that we just won? I decided that the best course of action, was just to shut my brain down for a while. So I did just that.

Once in the castle, I was shocked once more. My dungeon is basically a fantasy modern world by this point, and this kingdom is similar in that regard. The castle, however, was damn near sci-fi…

Well, sci-fi by this era’s standards. Rather than a castle, it was more like a modern mansion. Not that long ago, I popped back into my dungeon, and buildings like these were beginning to show up. Does Yona have a connection to the queen?

I mean, I can still see that this “castle” is still in the process of being built. But it was still weird entering it. It felt as if I just went back to my era, way before the apocalypse.

The shocking events didn’t stop at this kingdom being oddly modern. We were guided to the audience chamber. Once inside, I saw a familiar person sitting down on the throne…

Yona: “My dear daughter, Celia. It is wonderful to finally have you home!” She exclaimed, after she got up from her chair, and gave me a hug.

Ah, so that was why the maids kept almost calling me “Princess” just to be stopped by another maid… Yona… you were the queen!? I’ve been played this entire time! So many people knew about this! I am sure that at least Amelie knew…

This was the greatest kept secret that has ever been revealed to me! Was that the intention? To surprise me like this? Well, consider your plan to be an absolute success. Look, I even passed out just to prove it… So… I’m a princess now?…
