Hail the King

Fei didn’t realize that this class went on for so long. When he walked out of the underground cave, the moon and the stars were already shining in the sky. It was about eight to nine o’clock in the evening, and he got a little hungry. However, Angela had been living at her official home, which was Bast’s Mansion. According to traditions, the king wasn’t able to see his fiancée during this time before the wedding, so Fei had to find some food on his own.

With a big black cloak on him to hide his identity, Fei tried to find a pub in the restaurant area of Chambord to get some food, but he ended up at Soros’ Merchant Group’s storefronts under Husky’s lead.

After an afternoon of busy work, the storefronts the Soros’ Merchant Group had on the main street of Chambord completed the renovations, and it was just waiting for the next day to open its doors.

As the head manager of the branch in Chambord, Jessica was living in the store that was in the middle of all other stores. This store was a four-story stone tower, and Jessica was living on the fourth floor.

Husky walked in and shouted.

Since all the guards of the merchant group knew their boss’ simple-minded brother, they did some quick inspections and went to report to Jessica.

Soon, Jessica who was wearing a simple and thin bubble dress rushed down the stairs like a butterfly.

“Emile…… Ah, Your M…… You are here as well?”

It was obvious that Jessica didn’t expect Fei’s return.

When her guards reported to her, they only mentioned her brother, Husky. Fei who got more than half of his head covered by the cloak got treated like an insignificant servant, and he wasn’t even mentioned in the report.

Therefore, as soon as Jessica came down and saw Fei, she felt like her clothes were too simple.

Her thin, lace bubble dress only covered up to her knees, and her beautiful lower legs that were perfectly curved were exposed. Also, she was wearing a pair of pink, furry slippers, and her delicate toes were revealed as well. Since her skin was smooth and pink, her toes looked like art pieces that were sculpted out by great artists. The sleeveless dress also exposed her smooth, toned arms, and the V-neck showcased her pretty collarbones and that portion of her skin above her chest, which was like the white snow on the summits of the holiest mountains.

Fei glanced at her and quickly moved his eyes away; he started murmuring ‘Amitabha’. (TL Note: It is the name of a celestial buddha according to the scriptures of Mahayana. However, in Buddhism at China, people treat his name like a chant, and it is used to calm the nerves.)

He thought, “This girl wasn’t this attractive before; why do I feel like she is charming enough to lure all the men in this world? Damn, she is stunning! No wonder people say that 11 out of ten men treat her as their dream lovers back at Dual-Flags City.”

In fact, even Jessica’s guards were stunned by this side of her.

“Ah…… you…… please come up……” Jessica instantly blushed, and she didn’t know what to say. She wanted to go up and change into something else, but the person in front of her was the King of Chambord; it might be too rude to ditch him like that. Therefore, with red cheeks and a racing heart, she invited Fei up the stairs.

“Hehehe, we are here to get a meal. After giving a lecture at the university for the entire afternoon, we haven’t eaten anything yet……” Even though Husky was simple-minded, he was cautious this time and didn’t reveal Fei’s real identity. However, he also described what happened so that his silly sister knew what was going on.

However, what he said instantly made the guards, who were hired by the Soros’ Merchant Group at high-cost, look at Fei differently.

Although they had only spent a few days at Chambord, they knew how important the Civil and Military University was in the entire kingdom. They heard that all the instructors in this strange academy were all masters in their relative fields such as warrior energy, magic energy, and potion making, and they could make any other kingdom go crazy over their knowledge.

Also, they heard that the King of Chambord treasured these instructors and treated them well, so these instructors had high-statuses in Chambord and were influential.

“Could it be that this man in the black cloak is a prestigious instructor from Chambord’s Civil and Military University? He looks quiet, and it feels like he is a servant when he stands next to Boss’ brother…… But it looks like Boss knows him well and is very respectful toward him.”

“Damn! Our boss is beautiful, and many people pursued her at Dual-Flags City. It was later heard that she is the King of Chambord’s woman, and all those pursuers backed off. Also, our boss is treasured by a high-level official in Soros’ Merchant Group, and she usually doesn’t pay attention to other people. Why this little white face who is wearing a black cloak?” these guards thought to themselves.

(TL Note: Little white face is a Chinese term that refers to young men didn’t want to work and relied on wealthy women. In most cases, they are handsome and don’t have other abilities.)

After thinking about how they ignored this man, these guards got nervous and sweated a little.

“Sorry for bothering you. These few days are special, and I don’t have many places where I can get food. Therefore, Emile and I came to eat here.” Although the king didn’t anticipate these sexy scenes, since he was already here, he calmed down and greeted Jessica. After all, he was a man who had seen many situations. However, he was a little dull and didn’t notice Jessica’s strange mood.

After seeing their boss bring that ‘instructor’ up to her personal space upstairs, the guards looked at each other in shock; they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

“It is already late…… But…… Could it be that our naïve-looking, beautiful, and classy boss found a handsome young lover behind the King of Chambord’s back? Hell will break loose once this information gets out!”

The guards who instantly ‘understood the situation’ gave each other a look and secured the area around the building, just in case unexpected events took place.

They only relaxed and exhaled deeply after that ‘young instructor’ left after an hour or so.

There was a curious guard among them. Since he was a Three-Star Warrior, he decided to follow the ‘young instructor’ and see where he was from despite his peers’ objections.

After following for about 500 meters, he completely lost track of his target, and he got shocked. By then, he realized that this ‘young instructor’ was really powerful.

“No wonder he is brave enough to fight for a woman with the King of Chambord……” this guard thought.

……

Fei could never expect that he was thought of as a little white face who dared to fight over Jessica with the King of Chambord.

Even though he discovered that guard who was trying to follow him, he knew that the latter was doing so due to security concerns since he didn’t reveal his identity to them. Therefore, he didn’t mind it.

He easily got out of that situation and flew toward the Sky Castle which was located on the Five Sword Sky Mountains.

The king’s return instantly made the main palace busy again. The maids tried to prepare dinner, but Fei quickly stopped them and told them to sleep.

Fei was about to go into Diablo World to kill monsters, but……

Buzz!

A blue portal appeared in front of him, and Kashya walked out of it.

The Letter Office got new information, and Kashya was asked to deliver it; it seemed like something significant took place.

After reading the thick stack of the intelligence report, Fei fell into deep thoughts.

Changes occurred at the Eindhoven Battle Zone. With Emperor Kromkamp of Eindhoven killed and only the Capital City left, it seemed like the Eindhoven Empire was going to get conquered just like the Spartax Empire in a short time. However, since Crown Prince Arshavin returned to St. Petersburg, it gave the people of Eindhoven a chance to breathe. A female general named Lanji appeared, and she led the desperate soldiers of Eindhoven and defended against the soldiers of Zenit for more than half a month. Then, she suddenly launched a counterattack and wiped out two main battle legions of Zenit that were surrounding the Capital of Eindhoven, stabilizing the situation.

It was heard that this female general named Lanji was only 20 years old and single. She was the daughter of the famous general in Eindhoven, Costakarta, and she announced that she was going to kill the King of Chambord to revenge for her father after getting that victory.

However, Fei wasn’t worried about that. What worried him occurred in the Jax Battle Zone.

After his title as the No.1 Commander of the battle zone was stripped away, the henchmen of Arshavin took over and received the fruit of Fei’s labor, which was the Jax Empire declaring that they lost the war.

Since the pressure from the war was gone, the henchmen of the Crown Prince instantly raised the butcher knife. The head commander of the native military force, Ribry, got his title stripped away, and it was heard that he was arrest for distortion, malfeasance, corruption, and conspiracy. He was about to face the Imperial Military Headquarters and could be imprisoned for years.

Also, masters from the affiliated kingdoms who were close to Fei such as Shevchenko, Cindy, and Reyes were all summoned to St. Petersburg to face interrogations.

It was clear that all of this was aimed at Fei.

Arshavin couldn’t hold back and was finally about to take actions against Fei.
