Alek cabin door suddenly flew wide open.

"Wake up you ninny!"

Alek opened one his eyes, only to find his Haspurg Armor Corp uniform thrown in his face. He pulled the uniform off him and was met with his boots as well. "God Wounds Deryn! What in the blazes are you doing?!" She turned around and forcefully shoved his fencing saber to his hands.

"Im making sure you all packed up and ready you ninny. Were only a couple hour away from London so hurry up and get to packing!" Alek sighed, He stretch his arms out and got out of his bed. As he made his way to his to the sink, Bovril scamper his way onto Alek shoulders.

"Good morning Bovril" Alek said, grabbing his towel and wiping his face clean. He turn around to see that Volger had made his way into his room as well, also not bothering to knock first. He gave a cold glare at Deryn before he turned his eyes to Alek.

"Pack your belongings your No-Longer-Serene Highness and then meet me in Dr. Barlow cabin."

The Wild Count made a gesture to Alek suitcase and then ask Deryn to help him pack before walking out of the door. "Your No-Longer-Serene Highness?" Deryn asked with a grin on her face.

Alek gave her a unamused stare. Volger was in a foul mood, after hearing Alek had toss his life work to the bottom of the sea to work for Dr. Barlow, He was just glad that the Count didn't decide to decapitate him with his saber when he told him his decision to renounce all his claims. Alek had asked the count to start a new life in America but of course Volger refused, saying that someone needed to keep a eye on him. Now the Count might be coming with Alek but no one said he has to be happy about it. "He doesn't approve of my decision to give up my claim to the throne just so that I could work for Dr. Barlow."

"Aye, well it was pretty daft when you think about it" She said with a little giggle as she was reaching for his clothes.

Alek frowned, after realizing he had been wanting to become an emperor ever since he was a boy, evening while being on the run. Was it wise to throw it all away? He turned to Deryn, who was stuffing his Turkish clothes down a suitcase. A smile appeared on his face before he realized it, Why of course it was worth it, throwing it all away meant that he could finally be with Deryn. To him, she was worth more then an empire. Alek then place his arms around Deryn waist and pull her closer to him. "Really?... It seem like the best choice I made in a long time" said Alek with a grin on his face.

Deryn cheeks turned into a hot pink but then pulled him closer, only a couple inches away from his face."To spend your life with a barking commoner was a good choice?" She asked with a soft and innocent voice.

"Absolutely" he said, placing his lips onto hers.

After he was finished packing, he and Deryn made there way to cabin. As they walk in, Volger was spotted sitting near a window, reading a newspaper while Dr. Barlow was still packing her fancy dresses. "Ah good morning Mister sharp and Mr. Hohenburg." She neatly packed her last dress and closed her suitcase. "I trust that were all ready for departure?"

"This bum-rag took forever but aye, were ready."

"Bum-rag" Bovril exclaimed as it scamper it way to the other loris. Alek rolled his eyes, then sat down next to Volger. As he sunk into the chair, the Count gave him a disapproving look and set down his newspaper. "Take a look out the window, Alek turn to look out. There were three American airships escorting the Leviathan. It was strange sight, seeing the Clankers airships next to the Leviathan, traveling together to head off to battle. If Darwinists and Clankers could get along, there may be a chance for peace in the future. The Kaiser is losing his two allies, surely one must know when he is beaten.

"You may have not end the war Alek but you have brought it closer to the end." Volger said as he stared out the window. "Are you saying I'd made the right decision then?"

"Yes, trading your heir to the throne to work with the godless Darwinists, an very wise decision." Volger said with a sarcastic voice. Alek could only stifle a laugh, as he ponder on Count statement. Volger sighed "But we both know the real reason why you gave up the throne." Volger made a gesture toward Deryn "Hopefully you thought this through before being moon by a girl." Alek face turned bright red.

"What are you two blethering about?"

"Why it nothing of your concern Mr.Sharp." he replied back, mockingly.

Deryn snorted and pick up her suitcase. "Well hurry up with your clanker talk, we will be arriving in a few minutes" Alek pick up his own suitcase while hearing Volger mutter something cheeky. Then they made there way to the Gondola. Alek notice a small smile on Deryn face. "I going to miss being up here."

"I reckon you will but Dr. Barlow did promise you that it won't be the last time"

"Aye, she did." Deryn smiled and grabbed Alek's hand.

"Let go you daft prince"
