Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 28 Epilogue
In the shade of an old oak tree.

"Your Majesty Mingyu, I have a humble request. Could you please listen to it?"

After clinking a few glasses of wine with Xia Mingyu's "Rainbow Cup" with the wooden cup in his hand, Karen couldn't wait to speak.

"please say."

Looking at the smile on the other person's face that was as bright as the warm spring sun, Xia Mingyu, feeling the kindness, added the word "please" to his words.

He had considered keeping a cool attitude, but as the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles.

It's obvious at first glance that Viscount Hughes is a tough guy. The other person is so friendly, smiling and giving gifts. If he still remains aloof, he might anger the other person and get beaten to death.

"Your Highness, it is my great honor to have you visit my territory, so please allow me to fulfill my duties as a host."

Karen glanced at the simple houses and dirt paths in the village made of thatch and wood, and spoke again:

"Although this village in my territory is still peaceful, it is extremely dilapidated and unworthy of your noble status!"

"The castle inherited from my Hughes family is quite spacious and can serve as a haven for Your Highness. I beg you to condescend to visit us."

"I swear on my honor as a knight that you will be the most distinguished guest since the construction of this castle. I will order the servants to serve you with ten times the respect they show me."

Karen stood up from the chair, put his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed slightly towards Xia Mingyu. His voice was low and soft, and one could feel his frankness and sincerity.

Da da.

Xia Mingyu's fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the chair.

Looking at Viscount Hughes bowing in front of him, he fell into thought.

To go or not to go?

There are obviously certain risks involved in going there. Medieval castles were not just residences, but more importantly, they served as small military fortresses.

If his identity were to be exposed there, he would be unable to escape and could only sit and wait for death.

But Xia Mingyu's eyes gradually became firm.

He wants to survive in this completely unfamiliar world. The most important thing at the moment is not strength, but knowledge.

He must understand the past, present and uncertain future of this world.

Just like everyone on the blue planet knows that the two most powerful countries in the world are the Eagle and the Dragon, you can't call a nigger in front of a nigger, and you can't do business with a curry man.

He needs to understand the deep-rooted common sense of the people in this world, or the nobles.

For this, even at the risk of one's life, it is worth it!

If he went to the castle, he would be able to quickly acquire this common sense. If he didn't go, he would stay in the small village of Fruit Basket Village and show off in front of the villagers who had never left the village in their lives. Then, he would still know nothing about the world and would sooner or later face a devastating disaster.

So, isn’t it obvious which answer to choose?
"Viscount Hughes." Xia Mingyu said slowly.

Karen raised her head when she heard that.

"I'm looking forward to your hospitality." Xia Mingyu said calmly.
In an instant, the powerful knight who had escaped death many times from the cruel war "Dragon-Lion War" which was comparable to a meat grinder, showed unprecedented ecstasy on his angular face.

"Honored."

At dusk, Xia Mingyu packed his luggage and took Anlia and Berg to say goodbye to everyone in Fruit Basket Village under the old oak tree.

"Your Highness, I will always remember everything you have done for Fruits Basket Village. May the light of the sun and the God of Justice shine upon you forever."

Robert's eyes were filled with tears and his weathered face was full of gratitude. He bowed heavily and said.

The rest of the villagers knelt on one knee.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was not very old but had a head full of white hair due to worry, Xia Mingyu sighed softly.

When he first met the middle-aged man in the sheepskin robe, he thought he must be a villain because he was too flattering and dressed better than the surrounding villagers.

But now he realized how stupid his thoughts were.

This is a noble man, an elder worthy of respect.

"I'm just doing my part, and so are you." Xia Mingyu gently held Robert's arms and helped him up, whispering in his ear.

"May God bless you." Xia Mingyu also followed the local customs.

The elder was so moved that he burst into tears.

Next, Robert gave Berg and Anlia a private lecture.

"Berg, you're a good boy. Thanks to you for saving His Highness from the wolf pack, Fruit Basket Village was saved. Thank you!"

Robert patted Berg on the shoulder and thanked him sincerely.

"Village Chief, you don't need to thank me. The person you should thank the most should be yourself."

The boy shook his head and said calmly.

"If you hadn't taken me in despite everyone else's objections, I would have starved to death or frozen to death, and Your Highness would have become nothing more than a corpse in a wolf's mouth."

Robert raised his fist silently, and Berg's tone of voice changed instantly.

"My lord has the protection of the gods. Even without me, he will surely be able to turn danger into safety."

Robert finally put down his fist with satisfaction. Looking at the bruises on the boy's slightly childish face, he sighed and said,
"Berg, you must remember, no matter when or where, no matter who asks, even your son or me, the answer is not that you saved His Highness, but that His Highness saved you from the wolves."

"You must remember that His Highness is a good man and may consider you a friend, but he can never be your friend. He can only be your lord. You must engrave this in your soul."

"You must remember to obey all of His Highness's orders, even if they are absolutely wrong. You can make mistakes, but you must never fail to do them."

After giving countless instructions, Robert looked at the determined young man in front of him and suddenly smiled.

"Bon voyage! May you always be on the path of pursuing your dreams. May the gods bless you, my child."

The boy silently gave Robert a hug, then turned and left.

He didn't like saying goodbye because it carried the risk of losing his family, and he would definitely see them again.

Next is Anlia.

"My daughter, you must remember that although His Highness loves you very much now, a man's love is like a beautiful dream, fleeting and forgotten once you wake up. Although His Highness is a good man, he is also a man."

Robert earnestly instructed the girl in front of him.

"A prince as noble and handsome as Your Highness is a poison to all women. Many young girls will fall in love with him, and among them there will surely be someone as beautiful as you, or even more beautiful than you. So you must not rely on your looks to become arrogant, or even have such a foolish idea as to demand that Your Highness only love you."

"Your Highness, you must be obedient, obedient, and obedient."

"Your Highness may not love you, but you absolutely cannot stop loving Your Highness."

"If possible, get pregnant with His Majesty's child as soon as possible. A mother's status comes from her child."

As he was giving instructions, Robert suddenly froze as if he had thought of something.

Snapped!
He slapped himself hard, then knelt down in front of Anlia.

"If...if you were not my daughter."

Robert's voice was filled with sorrow, and so was his face, as if he had done something unforgivable.

Yes, as a father, not giving his daughter the right to be born happy, isn’t this a sin in itself?

"Father."

The girl gently wiped away the tears from the man's eyes, and then, like when she was a child, she gently kissed the man's wrinkled face.

"Being the daughter of a serf may not be an honor, but being your daughter is the greatest honor of my life."

She smiled, an unprecedentedly bright smile on her pretty face, with a trace of tears.

(The village plot ended perfectly!)

　This is the last chapter of the first part of the story, so I polished it many times but was still not satisfied with it and wasted my time. I will probably change it again in the future. Okay, please vote for me, everyone~~ Please, Thanks (ω)
