Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 27 Rainbow Cup
Under the shade of the oak trees.

"Your Highness, I am the Lord of the Black Wolf Territory, Viscount Karen Hughes of the Kingdom of Sosia. Thank you for visiting my territory. It is my great honor."

Karen placed his right hand on his left shoulder, then bowed slightly and spoke humbly with a bright smile.

As a noble, he does not need to kneel down no matter how noble the other person's status is.

Of course, the premise is that the other party is not his lord, king, or eternal god.

"sit."

Xia Mingyu raised his hand slightly, motioning the other party to sit down.

"Thank you for the seat."

Karen thanked him and took a seat, while quietly observing the other person's appearance.

Fair skin, long and delicate fingers, a strong aristocratic temperament (student-like), clothes that are obviously made of high-end materials (modern clothing) although the style is not recognizable
From these details, Karen could conclude that no matter whether the prince's identity was true or not, he must have come from a very wealthy family.

In addition, he glanced at the other person's flawless obsidian eyes and perfect profile out of the corner of his eye.

hiss!
This prince is as handsome as him!
Karen couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.

At this point, Karen had already mostly trusted the identity of this prince.

After all, handsome looks are one of the most common characteristics of nobles across the continent.

As the founder of the aristocracy, Grand Duke Cameron, once said: "Nobleness must be beauty."

"Your Highness, could you please tell me your name?"

Karen said with a smile on his face, a hint of respect in his deep voice.

"Xia Mingyu."

Xia Mingyu picked up the wooden bottle and poured wine into the glass in front of Karen.

"You are so kind!"

This scene made Karen a little flattered. He quickly took the bottle and poured the wine himself, while also not forgetting to fill the other person's glass.

Xia Karen carefully recalled the memories in his mind, but did not find any family with the surname Xia on the mainland.

He was very sure that the Xia family did not exist on the Western Continent, because if it did exist, he would definitely have heard of such a unique noble surname.

It seems that he is really the prince from the super kingdom that rules the entire East Continent.
No, we should be more cautious and conduct one last test.

"Your Highness Mingyu, to thank you for coming, I have specially prepared a gift for you. May I present it to you?"

Karen said softly.

"Yes." Xia Mingyu said lightly.

Too much talk will lead to mistakes, so it is better to speak less.

"Then I will go get the gift now. Please wait a moment."

So Karen stood up from her chair, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.

A few minutes later, he came back holding an exquisite wooden box.

"Your Highness, this is the gift I prepared for you." Karen placed the wooden box on the stone table.

Xia Mingyu looked carefully at the wooden box on the table. He noticed that on the top of the wooden box was carved a lifelike fox head.

"This was a blessing gift given to me by my wife Danielle's mother, my mother-in-law, Countess Martha, when I got married."

Karen introduced in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Xia Mingyu's eyes couldn't help but flash with anticipation.

After all, in the Middle Ages, a noble earl was undoubtedly a person of high rank and power. And the gift she had meticulously prepared for her daughter's wedding must have been a priceless treasure.

For example, extraordinary items such as dragon eggs, potions, magic props, and magic books that often appear in fantasy novels.

Noticing the anticipation in Xia Mingyu's expression, Karen smiled slightly and slowly opened the wooden box.

Click.

A beautiful wine glass was revealed.

It is made entirely of crystal clear glass. The cup body is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the cup mouth is round and smooth. The sunlight shines through the cup wall, refracting colorful light, as if the rainbow was crushed and integrated into it.

It is truly magnificent!
While opening the wooden box, Karen's green eyes closely observed Xia Mingyu's facial expression, not missing any details.

This glass cup is a treasure of the Martha family and is known as the "Rainbow Cup". A noble marquis was willing to pay hundreds of gold sols to buy it, but was still rejected by Earl Martha.

It was not until his wife, Danielle, the only daughter of Count Martha, got married that it was given as a blessing, making his wedding a big hit in the circle of southern aristocrats.

Therefore, if His Highness Mingyu is really a prince from the super kingdom of the East Continent, then he might like the "Rainbow Cup" when he sees it, but he will never be too surprised, and he may even show greed.

This is also his trump card to verify the other party's identity.

However, unexpectedly, when Xia Mingyu saw this treasure, his expression was not love or amazement, but
That's it! ?
Looking at the glass in the wooden box, Xia Mingyu's mouth twitched.

Why does this thing look so much like those cheap water bottles on Pinduoduo for 9.9 yuan with free shipping? And it has to be the kind of old-fashioned thing that even the elderly don't like.

"good."

Restraining his inner disappointment, Xia Mingyu tried his best to force a smile.

After all, it was a gift from the other party, and it would be a bit rude to show too much disappointment.

"He actually looks down on the Rainbow Cup completely!"

Looking at the extremely forced smile on the young man's face, Karen felt shocked.

How wealthy must a family be to raise an aristocrat who doesn't even care about such treasures?
"Your Excellency, does this cup have any special abilities?"

Xia Mingyu thought that maybe his eyesight was too poor to recognize the treasure, so he asked.

This question stumped Karen. Special ability. Isn't it enough that this glass cup is so beautiful?
"The Rainbow Cup can make the liquid inside it sweeter." After pondering for a moment, Karen came up with an ability.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyu excitedly picked up the bottle and filled the rainbow cup with bright red fruit wine, then drank it all in one gulp.

Nothing changes.

A hint of disappointment inevitably appeared on Xia Mingyu's face.

"What a great gift. Haha." He forced himself to praise.

After all, we are still in someone else's territory. He would say this even if someone sent him a stone.

Really, it must be true!

This person, this noble prince, must be the prince from the super kingdom of the East Continent!
Karen, who witnessed the changes in Xia Mingyu's facial expressions throughout the whole process, shouted wildly in his heart.

Then, his basic upbringing as a noble enabled him to quickly judge the value of this matter.

The heir to a super kingdom on another continent accidentally ended up here, and it is possible that he was hunted by his enemies and fled.

However, if you can grasp it, this is undoubtedly a huge opportunity!

After all, even without talking about the value of the huge kingdom with 1.4 billion people behind it, the other party itself is already extremely valuable.

Whether it was the "college student's" new mortal-level profession, the knowledge he gained about another continent, or the unknown abilities brought by his extremely noble status, they were all enough to awe the nobles of the entire Western Continent, and even the almighty king.

Karen Hughes has always thought of himself as a lone wolf, but today, he thought maybe he could try to be a "dog" like his mount.
