153 King need a Queen (1/2)
”I think you should go now, Yvonne”
Patrick urged Yvonne as she gawked at Arwen
”I will get him”
She said to herself and touched the silver pendant on her chest as a portal just like the one Queen Sienna opened appeared beside her
”Go on, I'll see you later”
Don and Arrora stopped releasing their magical fluctuations as Don could already feel the device heating up in his chest
Yvonne nodded in frustration while Don expected her to say some whacky lines before stepping into the portal but to his surprise, Yvonne didn't say anything repulsively and jumped into the portal to leave Sigalla
”King Don, I've never thought that you're a peak level grandmaster”
King Edward and Queen Sienna came to Don after the portal disappeared
”Well, I wanted to keep this as a secret but”
Since one could never know about others' cultivation level until they show their magical fluctuations or cast a spell, because of this, cultivators often try to settle their disputes in a peaceful way since they would not have an idea about his opponent's cultivation level. And this served as a safety shield for weak low-level cultivators and as a surprise element for a powerful cultivator.
”Forgive me for my friend's rudeness again, King Don”
Patrick lowered his head a bit and said as Don shook his head
”It's alright, Prince Patrick, my men needed to stretch their muscles anyways”
”I told her that I would send the books to her, but she insisted on coming here directly and it turned out like this ”
Looking at the injured men, Patrick knew that he's going to get a long lecture and nagging from his parents
”The feast is ready, King Don, we can talk everything else after the feast”
Queen Sienna said to Don and searched for Princess Amber to see she was standing far away from Don with a slight gloom in her face
”King Don if you follow me”
King Edward noticed his daughter and wife as he motioned Don to follow him to the dining room while Queen Sienna would talk with her daughter
”Lead the way, King Don”
Arrora turned to look at Amber before following Don as she had a feeling that something made Amber sad but since Queen Sienna was already on her way to talk to her, Arrora saw no reason to meddle in
The moment Don slid into his chair, he was served an enormous platter of food. Eggs, roasted ham, piles of fried potatoes. A tureen of fruit sits in ice to keep it chilled, but the hot weather already started to melt the ice. The basket of rolls they set before Don would keep any family going for a week. And Don was served an elegant glass of orange juice instead of wine.
Usually, Don liked to eat salads and fruits as his meal except for some occasions in Everlight, yet seeing the hospitality of King Edward and Queen Sienna, he wasn't picky with the food on the table.
”King Don, you might be the most powerful person in all rank four kingdoms”
”Maybe or maybe not, nowadays it's easy to reach higher levels ”
”Don't be modest, King Don, if it's easy why there are no many grandmasters among us”
”Resources Queen Sienna, rank four kingdoms don't have much as resources as rank two or rank one kingdoms.”
Don took a sip from his orange juice and said
”True indeed, but King Don, since your kingdom has two grandmasters, the empire might consider bumping you to rank three”
There was no standard procedure for ranking the kingdoms; every time the process and standard would vary, however having two grandmasters would undoubtedly earn a point to move up in the ladder.
And when Don ranked up, King Edward wanted to be his alley so he and his kingdom could get some benefits such as cultivation resources for his people from him. But at the moment, Don had to develop and improve the life situation of the citizens before thinking about ranking up his kingdom.
”So King Don, I heard you're from Everlight, where is it actually?”
”It's a newly found kingdom, King Edward, far far away from here and very soon both Emir and Agoria will also be Everlight”
”If you don't mind me asking, where are your parents? King Don, to be honest, you're the youngest king I've ever seen”
