Chapter 407 - My flesh and blood (1/2)

The entire hall went silent. It was as if a certain spirit passed by and no one spoke or moved for a long while. Every gossiper's mouth was shut closed and their eyes went wide because of what they heard. Was this the reason why the great Chen Seiji appeared here tonight? Was this the reason why Miss Davi only came back now?

Everyone could only ask in their minds and just as they thought that this was indeed the greatest surprise for the night, the huge entrance doors once again opened and an old man entered.

Footsteps could be heard so one by one, the people slowly averted their gaze away from Sei and turned towards the door. Even old man Mizuhara was so surprised in seeing the person closing in on them that he too remained silent and unmoving.

The person that walked through the doors was someone that everyone in the room recognized immediately. It may have been years since the monarchy ruled this country but when he did rule, he was constantly under the public eye as part of his role. Therefore, even though it had been a long time since this face had graced the media and newspapers, there was no doubt in everyone's mind that the man standing before them was none other than the last king of Country J.

Just then, it was little Shin who immediately broke the silence first.

”Great grandpa, over here.” He said and the entire crowd finally snapped out of their daze. Their eyes which were filled with shock were replaced with an even greater shock and disbelief. They looked like they just heard an earthshattering truth.

”T-that's the King…. The king came!”

”What's the meaning of this?”

”Why was Miss Davi's child calling the king his 'great grandfather'?”

”Don't tell me it's because… it's because this Chen Seiji is the king's grandson?!”

”Oh gosh! What the hell's this? This is way too unbelievable.”

”Is this god our rumored mysterious prince whose existence was never confirmed?”
