The Martial Unity

"Her Highness Princess Ranea Meln Kandria has arrived!" A royal announcer announced her entry into the viewing gallery.

Most guests in the gallery bowed to varying degrees. The custom was such that even the degree to which they bowed was a testament to their social status. Martial Masters, guests from outside of the Kandrian Empire who were not citizens of the nation, and bodyguards in active duty were not required to bow; they had automatically moved to the back, furthest away from the princess, observing polities.

Rui bowed by about forty-five degrees, expressing respect to a member of the Royal Family as she made her way to the other end of the gallery, turning around at the end.

"Raise your heads," She gracefully instructed them, relieving them of their posture. "Distinguished guests from and beyond Kandria, welcome to the inauguration of the first seal-class Karokann Av412. Today the Kandrian Empire takes a historic step for all of East Panama. Today, our naval and seafaring channels will include a new dimension… a new world. A world we know less than we would admit."

More than her words, Rui was impressed by her oratory skill. She delicately controlled the pitch and tone of her voice, even quivering it to add a hint of alarm to her tone.

"The depths of the ocean are ripe with resources, just waiting to be ceased, yet our ability to reach them is crippled in comparison to our ability to extract resources from land. Today…that changes forever."

Her arms spread, and just a moment later, the visible ocean through the large glass rippled as the Karokann submarine emerged from the depth of the ocean, fully floating above the ocean water.

"Ooohh…"

"Wow…"
