Chương 172: Chapter 171: Isleans Empire
" Empress Amaris Herean, why would you discuss or propose allegiance with the smallest empire of Easteria? Isleans Empire had such history filled with betrayal, so maybe the Acun shouldn't be ally with them." Prince Dyren who was flying at the sky as he was talking to me through the window of this flying carriage.
" Yes it's a fact that the history or the foundation of the Isleans Empire I immediately tainted with betrayal, especially the first emperor cheated and murdered his friend who was truly been chosen by the people to be their emperor, yet he betray him and even blame the Abyell Empire for his friend's death." I said as I took a glance outside of this carriage I already notice the four islands of Isleans Empire where volcanoes sleeping all over the islands I believe they've 200 or more volcanoes from their entire territory.
" So why would you have a thought of be in ally with them, especially you Empress Amaris Herean already know such informations about them?" Prince Dyren asked as both of us looks down at the sea where hundreds or thousands of Balangays & Karakoas ville with Isleans merchants, soldiers, and citizens traveling all over their empire.
" Isleans Empire have a glorious history of naval warfare and guerilla warfare and, I'm interested with their martial art called Arnis also known as Kali or Eskrima hehe, look at those ships the Balangay is used for trading, cargos, and a settlement for a long voyage, the Karakoa is a warship for the Isleans Empire its was used since the beginning until now." I respond as thousands or more Isleans people down there was looking up to the sky as our carraiges & my guards going down slowly.
" Still its not enough reason for you Empress Amaris Herean, to decide about this future allegiance, what other information did you get?" Prince Dyren asked again as I smiled at him hehe the Isleans people wore colorful woven clothes, often with intricate beadwork and other ornam a type of collarless shirt, Isleans men commonly wore pants or a loincloth and usually went topless while women either went topless or wore a robe-like dress.
" The current empress of Isleans was 6 years old when she ascended or take over the throne, right now she is 8 & 10 years old the youngest empress from the entire history of E.E ( Empire's Era ) so its an opportunity with me to influence a young leader to became a great leader, also the Isleans Empire is losing their glory with their fleets another chance for me to help them and be part of their previous glory returning back soon enough." I replied and the Isleans architectural landscape is a contrast among small traditional huts built of wood, bamboo, nipa, grass, and other native materials, also the Isleans warriors looking at us while holding gunong dagger, barong bolo, nawi panabas, kris sword, kampilan sword, sibat, and etc.
As I get out of the carriage the Isleans People smiled at me and waves their hands Prince Dyren was staring at such sight as I notice some are ridings karabao-like beast and using them a transportation, at the farm, and eagle-like beast flying around the sky and landing to their master's arm or shoulder some children runs towards me and gives me flowers called sampaguita, also they're cutting coconuts and gives it to my companions as they're telling them to drink it I nod my head to my companion as a sign for it was safe to drink.
" ' Thank you for such kind welcome all of you gave to us.'( Islandic )" I said as I took a hand of a elder and bows my head as my forehead touches it a sign of respect for elders here in Isleans I can hear them being amazed or being happy with my approach to them.
" ' Your welcome and I'm one of the babaylon here we greet you Empress Amaris, for your wonderful arrival as you are like a deity who descended from the above.'( Islandic ) The babaylan said as she was holding a woods staff and accessories all over her body together with her arms up to her neck filled with tattoes.
Babaylans mystical healers whose spiritual connectedness was a source of political and social power.
I smiled and they guide us towards the palace where their empress is waiting for us I notice men wearing feminine clothes or dress and women wearing masculine clothes wait, they're lgbts hehe so its true the Isleans Empire will treat everyone equally and aceep them, also I can see many women holding weapons and ordering numerous men haha wow also countless palm trees planted everywhere, together with their eco-friendly buildings along with so many beasts moving freely here.
While we're walking we saw men & women being both masculine & femine are being praise and they're telling them they're blessed by the Gods & Goddesses, Isleans Empire have 8 Immortals they worship, lightning, stars, wind, blood, war, peace, darkness, and pearl.
" They're so kind , they always wave their hands, smiled, and even give us many foods." Prince Dyren said as I turned around and what the! all of them are carrying toms of foods together with flowers adorning all over their attires hehehe.
" Pfft- yes they're, you will not believe their history filled with betrayal especially, what we're experiencing rn hehe, women & lgbts here are all accepted and treated equally with men, yet we can't judge a book by its cover." I remarked as I smiled at them and waves my hand also talking with the elders & youths with words such po & opo hehe.
" They're also wealthy look, all of them are wearing golden jewelries and attires made of high quality silks together with expensive materials also, their houses with long legs-like and ladders or stairs needed to enter the them, nice structure to be safe from floods." Prince Dyren as he looks at those bahay kubos and I can see the palace near now also some buildings are much aesthetically than the others as they were colorful together with pearls shining from every house.
" They're still part of Easteria, even if they're the smallest empire, extravagance can still be felt here look at that palace built with lumbers, bamboos, stones, corals, gold, with abaka being part of the palace together with leaves being used to make it beautiful." I pointed my finger and a very huge palace I believe its much bigger then the Novun Palace 3 times.
The Isleans Empire was ruled by House of Pearl after 7 seven former households ruling the empire the Pearls take over and beem reigning for a century now, as their Empire I already over 500 years since it was founded and being the smallest empire of Easteria together with their glories in naval & guerrilla warfares along with history filled with betrayal to each other.
As we enter the Isleans Empire looking at the portraits being guarded with servants one by one and more artworks around the palace as the Isleans people have a trait of tanned skin, curly hair, and orbs of their eyes may be black or brown or both, as I notice shells together with pearls adorning the palace this is not like this before before House Pearl takes over, 8 households of Isleans the rules are symbolizing the 8 Immortals they worship.
We reach the hall as servants holding big fans as they sway it up & down slowly and warriors together with babaylans looking at us with their face accompanied with their kind smile also, a man with his body shredded and visible with too many tattoos same as others and he was at the side of the throne with with pearls together with a girl sitting wow, her young face which can immediately trick you if she's a girl or a boy hehe so I'm not the only one tricking the others with my face.
" ' I greet the Empress of Isleans Empire, the youngest empress of all history, the last members of House Pearl, I, Empress Amaris Herean, felt honor to meet you Empress Melena Pearl.'( Islandic )" I stated as she smiled and bows her head as she was adorned with silks, pearls, and geez are those 7 skulls her crown?
" ' its my pleasure to meet you Empress Amaris Herean, the most powerful empress of Acun, the son of a Warlord & a Priestess, a Herean and the partner of the Novun Savior.'( Islandic )" She stood up to from her throne and approaches me as she took my hands then lower her head as her forehead touches my hands.
" Welcome to Isleans Empire." Empress Melena Pearl said as she look up to me together with her lips curling up.
" Thank you for a wonderful welcome for us and, May the Isleans be glorious forever."
