Chapter 554 Tribits
Finaal expression was not good. He felt his daughter deserved a wedding. He was about to argue his point when he heard his daughter call out to him. "Father. I do not need a wedding. I mean, first off, this would not have happened if I did not make a move myself. I kind of forced my way into Blake's family. So a wedding is not needed."
"This…" Finaal still wanted to argue, but he saw Blake rub the top of his daughter's head, making her smile, causing his words to get caught in his throat. "Alright. I understand. I will not push the subject."
"When you finish your meetings, let me know what you decide. I will be wandering around a bit with Dana as my guide." Blake changed the way he called Princess Danaphine. He couldn't, by right, call her princess anymore since their relationship had changed.
"Then I will speak with you later." Finaal sighed. While he knew this new arrangement was good, he still felt like he should do something for his daughter.
Blake stood up as did Dana. But instead of leaving, Blake said: "If you wish to do something for your daughter to allow a kind of celebration, we can still announce our marriage. I just can't hold a wedding. But a celebration is possible."
A celebration was not a wedding. They would not do the vows, and this would not go against his customs as a drakani. Nor go against any of his promises.
When Finaal heard this, his gloomy eyes seemed to have gained some slight as he clapped his hands. "Haha! Why did I not think of this!" Feeling much better, he let Blake go with a smile.
When Blake, Mina, and Dana left the meeting room, Dana couldn't help but ask: "Is this okay?"
"Mmm… it's fine. A wedding is when vows are made. While I will never treat you wrongly or will I ever make you feel left out, I can not hold a wedding." Blake felt bad, but he could not do that to Lillia.
"Blake is truly someone who does not treat any of his wives differently. He treats us all as equals. And Sister Lillia has gone through a lot and has given us all a place next to the man we love. When her wedding was held, it was set up by us so that she could have that one thing that proved she was the main wife. I still remember crying tears of happiness when I saw her up on stage in front of the people of Destiny City. She is truly loved by us all. I also hope you will come to love Sister Lillia as much as we sisters do. Although I do not think it will ever match up to Blake's love for her." Mina wiped her eyes. Just thinking about it brought tears to her eyes.
Dana could tell Mina's words were not false. She wished she could have been there. But now she felt even more nervous about meeting the other wives. She hoped she could fit in and be loved by them and love them at the same time.
The three strolled through the city streets and looked at this and that. Blake saw that although some things were higher tech, the items they had were not all that different from the technology he had in Destiny City.
"Selling Tribits here! Selling Tribits! Get your Tribits here!" A shop owner yelled out. Many of these stalls were not stalls you would normally see. These stalls were cybernetic parts stalls. And they seemed to be quite popular.
"What are Tribits?" Blake asked out of curiosity.
"They are chips that you can plug into to gain a euphoric feeling. It lasts a while and can put a person in a down mood into a good mood. It does nothing more than make you happy. But if you combine a few into a new chip, it can cause one to be drunk. However, that was a long time ago. Now each chip is made to be tamper-proof per regulation. If one is caught selling untampered proof Tribits, they will be sentenced to death." Dana explained.
"I see. So kind of like alcohol." Blake understood.
"In a sense but for cybernetics like us. The only issue is that if one used too much, they would become mentally deranged and had caused a few mass murders within the city before. This was why the new law was passed down." Dana disliked the Tribits, but when used normally, they could help people mentally and allow them to live happier lives without altering their day to day life.
"That is kind of scary." Mina pursed her lips. Just thinking of a single Blake going insane made her shutter. The whole world would end up destroyed.
"Blake, what do you plan to do with the technology we give you?" Dana asked. She had been curious for a while about what he planned to do with it all.
"I want to see if we can combine your technology with magic. If we can, then we may be able to boost our strength to that above the gods themselves. While we have been successful to a point, it has not gotten to a point where we are able to give a huge burst of power. We have a way of condensing mana and using the power generated to make powerful weapons, but if we are able to use this same method and merge technology that strengthens and empowers our body to become even stronger by tens to hundreds of times, then we will be able to fight head-on. Along with the cyber beasts and the armored knights you have, we stand a chance against the devils." Blake wanted to use everything he could to make himself as powerful as possible as quickly as possible. While he still had planned escape routes for his people. He would still fight until there was no choice but to retreat completely.
