32 New Kingdom II (1/2)
The man contorted his face to hide the look of surprise, hearing such a young voice speak with such confidence instantly alerted him that the boy before him was someone important, someone with power.
Nero didn't disguise himself in front of this man, he wanted peace and comfort while walking out whenever he wanted and having to always disguise himself was a pain in the ass.
”Ah yes, we do have 2 Royal suites available. How long would you like to book for?” The man said with the sweetest voice he could muster.
”2 Weeks and possibly extended I'd say, how much?” Nero put on an unwavering smile on his face.
He was trying to display as much power as he could while being as polite as he could, mostly because being shy would probably result in getting ripped off.
Simply acting powerful made sure the other party would be pressured, preventing getting ripped off unless the other party was daring enough.
Clearly it was not the case here.
The man did have some ideas to exploit a child like Nero but instantly replaced that thought, he knew how powerful aristocrats were and were he to accidentally offend one, there would be no future left for him.
It was simply a losing gamble.
”That would be... 5 Golden Lions and 3 Lions, including all facilities and unlimited food.” the man gazed at Nero to see his reaction but the boy smoothly pulled out a glazing golden coin with a tiny sapphire embedded through the middle.
It was a Golden Ruby Coin.
”Here.” Nero grinned and flipped the coin into the man's grasp. The man fumbled around to catch, evidently shocked by the coin.
He was so nonchalant about it that the Receptionist knew he made the right choice not to piss off someone of his character.
”Also, keep the 7 Lions. Just make sure to wipe off my records, I'm trying to stay low key.” Nero took the 4 Golden Lion change and the card to his suite, leaving the appalled man hanging.
The Inn looked ancient but the technology inside was ahead of anything Nero had seen in Pinnacle.
There was an elevator here.
Nero went right up to 7th floor, the buttons inside worked on the basis of the card placed in the section, it lit up up the button on which floor the room was.
Nero's was on the top floor, where he saw large glass dome above him and posh interior with beautiful paintings hanging on walls.
On the left, he saw a plated sign next to a door saying: ' Roma De Royale' while on the right a plated sign said 'Graca De Royale'. The lobby extended behind the elevator entrance where he finally saw the name of his room: 'Caracas De Royale'.
This was like the ancestral language that the Norm's language was built from, like Latin to English on Earth.
Entering the room, Nero saw the chandeliers high above glistening the light coming from the glass roof and a house like interior, and the one thing Nero was glad for...
A toilet.
”Yess! The one thing we gambled for is here!” this was one of the reasons why Nero was willing to pay such overwhelming amount instead of taking cheaper more affordable room.
'Forget about that for now, we need to rest. Flying for so long and that fight with the Terror has really beat us up, I'll have to fix up our body for at least half a day to get back to peak condition. So, sleep... Your mind is also fatigued quite a bit and it'll take care of that.'
Nova knew exactly what to do to help Nero and how to do it, she was like his adviser, a one of a kind.
He was instantly knocked out cold when his head hit the bed, the stress and fatigue finally overwhelming his mind.
In the background, incense sticks burnt soundlessly, adding a calming aura around the sleeping little boy.
Slowly, the expression on the boy's became serene, and so, he slept on without a care in the world.
