Chapter 235 - Emperor
Chapter 235 – Emperor.
”We have arrived, now get out— I don’t have all day.” The carriage driver said with usual rudeness.
”I-I am sorry.” Zoe bowed and apologized. She had heard about the carriage drivers of Stronglord Empire having more influence than ever before and was scared of angering them.
They left the carriage, but the carriage driver didn’t leave. Instead, he left the driver’s seat and arrogantly entered through the gates.
He was walking straight toward the stairways and seemed to be on the way to joining the party.
The Royal Guards didn’t stop him, and their faces didn’t have even a shred of interest.
”Is the party really that important?” Isaac asked from Amy while walking towards the gates.
”Yes, it is the biggest party of the year!” She replied with excitement but soon covered her mouth with cheeks starting to have a hue of pink.
She can’t believe that she has lost control of her emotions like that.
Isaac nodded and became more interested in the party.
Zoe was stopped by the Royal Guards, who were wearing golden armor with a majestic Royal symbol on the chest shaped like a lion.
She showed the invitation card and was allowed to enter with Amy.
When it was Isaac’s turn, he noticed how the Royal Guards looked at him with intense gazes, and he wasn’t sure whether he was allowed to enter or not.
”Welcome to Royal Palace, Sir!” They took a step to the side and allowed Isaac to enter!
Everyone around the gates looked surprised.
Rarely was anyone greeted by the Royal Guards!
And rarely has anyone been called as Sir by the Royal Guards!
Zoe and Amy looked amazed, and their eyes had slight worship when they looked at Isaac.
The carriage driver, who had taken five steps on the stairways, also heard that greeting.
He turned around and frowned at the white-haired youth.
‘Who is that bastard? Is he more important than me? How dare they.’ He looked at the Royal Guards with anger and decided to talk with King about them!
He flicked his sleeve and continued his journey to the top of the mountain, but he looked exhausted after only ten steps.
”Fuck… I will tell King to remove the stairs and tell someone to carry me from now on!” With heavy and exhausting steps, he continued walking but felt depressed after seeing there were over a thousand steps left!
Isaac nodded at the guards and entered the gates, still surprised that the Guards actually greeted him.
‘They knew I am Legacy Carrier… But they don’t seem to know the rank, or do they?’ He stopped walking and looked at the Royal Guard, who started slightly sweating, thinking that they might have angered the white-haired youth in some way.
”Hey,” Isaac whispered and noticed how the Guards straightened their backs like they were in the presence of a King.
”Do you know what Legacy Rank I am?” Isaac asked curiously.
”Yes, sir!” The Royal Guards replied.
”How?” Isaac asked.
”We have been trained to be able to detect Legacy Carriers and what Legacy Ranks they have!”
”For what purpose?”
The Royal Guards shouted, ”So that we won’t accidentally disrespect someone as great as you, sir!”
”Oh…” Isaac rubbed his cheek and finally left the gates, which caused the Royal Guards to heave a sigh of relief.
”Wow, you are amazing,” Zoe said with sparkling eyes after Isaac returned.
”Hmm, how so?” Isaac asked.
”You must be a high-ranked Legacy Carrier!” Zoe was now sure about it.
”Well…” Isaac shrugged.
They entered the stairways and started walking up the long stairways, where hundreds of nobles with fancy-looking clothes were walking in front of them.
While walking, Isaac noticed how small the Stronglord looked from the mountain.
‘No wonder Royal Family likes to live in the mountain… It will make them feel more powerful than they already are…’ Isaac had his own thoughts about the Royal Family.Want to see more chapters? Please visit panda-novel ,com
He thought they liked to flex their power and feel like Gods, but he hadn’t met them and didn’t know the real reason.
It could also be for security purposes.
It was extremely difficult to attack the Royal Palace because it was so high up, and there were many layers of defenses.
That was one of the reasons why the Stronglord Royal Family has been able to stay in power for so long.
Zoe and Amy felt lightheaded after looking down because of a single misstep, and they would have a long fall ahead.
But, Isaac noticed that the stairs were very secure, and the chances of falling down were almost nigh.
Zoe and Amy grabbed each other’s hands and tried to catch up with Isaac, who was already walking way ahead.
They had passed the carriage driver a long time ago, who could do nothing except look at them grudgingly.
After the exhausting walk, Isaac managed to enter the top of the mountain.
Surrounding nobles looked way more exhausted than him, but he also felt a slight burning sensation around his thighs.
He turned his head and saw Zoe and Amy only ten meters away from the top, but they looked much more exhausted.
Isaac turned his head back and saw the beautiful Royal Palace in the distance.
The tip of the Royal Palace reached even higher than he anticipated, and Isaac was almost sure that it was over 500 meters above him, making the whole Royal Palace look enormous!
The walls of the Royal Palace were made from gold with red paintings and silver lining.
The foundation of the royal palace was made from one of the most durable materials that can be found in the Stronglord Empire.
That foundation made the Royal Palace very tough and almost indestructible.
Some of the walls were being held up by golden pillars, but they were only for extra durability and aesthetic purposes.
The pillars aren’t very needed, but the King who built the Palace wanted the pillars because it makes the Palace look more majestic-like.
Stronglord Empire has been called the Stronglord Kingdom for centuries, but only two years ago, the current Emperor of Stronglord managed to increase Stronglord’s military power and territory.
Because of his excellent management, Stronglord Kingdom became Stronglord Empire.
All of this was because of a single person.
Emperor of Stronglord, Lock Stronglord.
