116 Chapter 113
Prince Militaire had walked into the Throne room accompanied by his Loyal Advisor Kerosh and a few attendants and Guards. Normally he would not be allowed to bring this many people in but this was a first contact meeting so Alexander allowed it.
As Prince Militaire walked up to the Throne there was Guardian Knights placed in a single line on each side of the Throne room.
To Prince Militaire these Soldiers had a very intimidating Aura that he could feel as he walked past them. His Advisor Kerosh felt the samething as the group walked closer to the Throne.
Once he got close enough he was stopped by two Guardian Knights from getting any closer.
"Presenting his Royal Highness Emperor Alexander of House Caliban" Announced the Presenter.
Alexander had put his hand up signaling the Presenter to stop talking since he could feel the Conflict and the urgency inside of the Prince.
"As said I am Emperor Alexander, and you are?" Asked Alexander
"I am Prince Militaire of the Paataatus Hiveborn your Highness, and this is my Advisor Kerosh and close friend" Replied Prince Militaire
"Well it's good to meet a new nation and I hope that we can start to build a friendly relationship, But first I have heard that your nation is at war" Asked Alexander
"Yes Your Highness that is correct, we are at war with two other nations named the Nikardun Destiny and the Grysk Hegemony" replied Prince Militaire
"And how is the war going" Asked Alexander as he wanted to get some insight into the situation.
Prince Militaire sighed before he answered "To be Honesty, it's not going well, we have exhausted more resources than we have and have lost a ton of ships already, the recent ambush by the Nikardun Destiny destroyed over a third of my own personnel fleet which will crippled our navy, We were trying to create an Alliance with the Garwian Unity to better coordinate in our defenses against the two nations but the Grysk have a much greater military and have blocked all of our efforts" Explained Prince Militaire
"It seems like the Paataatus Hiveborn is on the losing end and will soon be taken over by the Grysk" Said Alexander
"No, they will just subjugate us and force us to fund their Military and use us in their wars" Replied Prince Militaire
"Hmmm, Interesting" was all Alexander had to say to that.
"Your Highness if I may, I know that we have only just met and you don't have an obligation but I would like to request your assistance to hopefully save my people from the Grysk Hegemony and in exchange we will give you anything we can in a form of payment" Pleaded Prince Militaire
"But from what you told me you don't have anything of value to give me" Replied Alexander
Prince Militaire couldn't even reply and had to look down since what he said was true. He had hoped that this meeting would hopefully bring help to his people but it turned out to be wrong.
But just as he lost all hoped Alexander had brought that hope back with his next words "But if the Paataatus Hiveborn submits to me as a vassal then I will have no choice but to help my subject out, and the I'm sure you have seen just how lively my planet is and how much better our Technology and Military is" Offered Alexander
"If you accept your nation will get the same benefits and will always be protected so long as you remain Loyal" Continued Alexander.
Prince Militaire looked up with hopeful eyes. While not the ideal situation it was still better than not getting help at all. If all the Paataatus Hiveborn needed to do was become a Vassal then all he needed to do was accept.
He couldn't wait around for another opportunity to get help so he made the what he considered was the right choice and what would go down as the greatest decision he ever made.
"Your highness, I feel as though your words bear nothing but truth to them and my people are in dire need of protection so on this day I swear that the Paataatus Hiveborn will serve his highness from here on out" Said Prince Militaire as he got on one knee and bowed his head.
The rest of the Prince's party did the same and there was nobody who wanted to protest against this action.
"A wise choice Prince Militaire now stand up" Said Alexander as he walked down from his Throne towards the Prince.
Once he was in front of the Prince he placed his hand on his shoulder "Rest assured that all my subjects are treated equally and I don't have any harsh requirements besides staying Loyal. I will save your people from the Grysk Hegemony"
Prince Militaire felt a heavy wait lift off of his soldiers.
"Maul" Called out Alexander
Maul had stepped forward "Yes Your highness"
"Prepare the Royal Fleet to move out" Ordered Alexander
"I already have them on standby" Replied Maul
"Good then go and prepare because your coming with me" Ordered Alexander
"Are you going personally" Asked Maul since he thought that Alexander would send Yrena or somebody else.
"I grow bored sitting in this Palace, I need some action and the Grysk Hegemony has been so kind as to present me with some entertainment and won't simply waste this chance that I have" Said Alexander.
"But we will finish this conflict within a week so that I can take a trip with my children" Continued Alexander. He did not forget his promise and will end the war within a week if possible.
With that out of the way some quick repairs were made to the Prince's fleet before they set out to the Capital world of the Paataatus Hiveborn, Nettehi.
Alexander brought with him two Titan Mechs which would make conquering worlds much faster.

The trip to Nettehi took 5 hours while travelling through Hyperspace. But once they made it they found that a battle was already taking place.
The Defending Paataatus hiveborn fleet was no the verge of collapse while the Grysk Hegemony fleet kept pushing forward. Alexander did not waste time and ordered his fleet to attack and defend the defending fleet.
And in order to save as many Paataatus ships as possible Alexander ordered for his fleet to get in close. He watched from the bridge while the Grysk Fleet was torn apart ship by ship.
