Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 30 The Rarity of Knowledge

The full moon hung high in the sky, and silver moonlight poured down like a waterfall, stained the black fortress dozens of meters ahead, standing on the earth like a silent giant, with a layer of clear light.

Tapping.

After several hours of travel, a luxurious carriage escorted by several mounted guards arrived here - the core of the Black Wolf Territory, Black Wolf Castle.

The guards on duty at the castle at night were all shocked after seeing this scene.

Because in the moonlight they could clearly see that the driver of the carriage was actually their great and arrogant lord - "Howling Wolf" Karen Hughes.

For a moment, the guards thought they were hallucinating, until they confirmed this fact after communicating with their colleagues.

Then they were even more shocked.

How noble must the status of the guests in that carriage be to make their lord willing to be their coachman?

Earl, Marquis, Duke, or the most supreme royal family in the Kingdom of Sosia!
Thinking of this, the guards did not dare to delay and quickly opened the city gate without waiting for Karen to speak.

With a heavy creaking sound, the castle gate slowly opened, the chain of the drawbridge slowly turned, and the bridge deck landed steadily on the other side of the moat.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at my castle."

Karen turned her head and shouted towards the carriage behind her.

After a while, a female voice came from the carriage:
"Viscount Hughes, my master has fallen asleep. As a maid, I dare not disturb his sweet dreams. Could you please send a few maids to carry my master into the room?"

That prince can sleep peacefully in my carriage.
Hearing this, Karen felt a little proud.

After all, this was the best proof of his driving skills, and he had not violated his knight's promise - there would not be a single bump.

"Ms. Anlia, there's no need for a maid. Let me do it."

"I am very experienced in controlling strength. If I hold Your Highness, I can ensure that your sweet dreams will not be disturbed."

Karen said in a deep voice.

As a Knight of the Morning Star class, his strength is enough to bend steel easily, but in daily life he can steadily pick up a teacup and hug his wife. His control over strength has already reached the level of perfection.

"Excuse me, Viscount Hughes."

After a moment's silence, a hesitant voice was heard in the carriage.

Karen walked into the carriage, and a moment later, she carried the sleeping Xia Mingyu into the castle.
After settling His Highness and his attendants and maids, Karen hurried to his bedroom.

He must immediately discuss with his wife Danielle how to deal with and entertain this noble prince from the East Continent.

The next day.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning quietly poured into the castle room through the tall arched windows, casting thin strips of light on the carpet.

Feeling the warmth on his face, Xia Mingyu slowly opened his eyes.

"This is truly the most refreshing sleep I've had since traveling through time!"

He stretched comfortably and then looked around.

He was currently in an extremely spacious room, the floor covered with carpets of various colors. The edges of the carpets were slightly curled up, revealing the cold stone floor underneath, creating a warm contrast.

The walls are carved with exquisite murals. There is a bronze candlestick on each side of the bed, and below the candlestick is a lifelike wolf head with its mouth wide open.

The room is filled with a light woody scent, mixed with the coolness of the early morning, making people feel particularly refreshed.

"This room is almost as big as ten of my six-person dormitories in college," Xia Mingyu exclaimed.

He glanced at the layers of bedding beneath him, which felt as smooth as flowing water, and began to understand why he had slept so well last night.

Feudalism, while abhorrent, is also quite corrupting. "Someone seemed to have carried me into the room last night. Was it Anlia? It must have been hard on her."

Xia Mingyu thought secretly as he got out of bed and put on his pajamas that were folded and placed on the bedside table.

After putting on his pajamas, he opened the door and walked out.

There was already someone waiting outside the corridor at the door.

He was an old man in a black tuxedo with delicate silver patterns embroidered on his collar and cuffs, making him look solemn and elegant.

His silver hair was combed meticulously, and his face was covered with wrinkles, yet he exuded calmness and majesty.

Behind him, there were two maids in black and white maid uniforms. Their hair was neatly tied back, revealing their smooth foreheads and young and pretty faces.

"Your Highness Mingyu Xia, I am Sean, the steward of Black Wolf Castle. I am waiting for you here on my master's orders. I wish you a wonderful morning."

Old Sean placed his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed slightly, while the two maids behind him folded their hands and bowed down in a neat manner.

"Where are my servants and maids?"

Xia Mingyu looked at the empty corridor and asked with a slight frown.

In a completely new and unfamiliar environment, his first reaction was to find someone he knew first.

"Your Highness, they have been assigned to stay in the rooms below this floor. Perhaps they are still asleep after their long journey last night. Do you need me to call them over for you?"

Old Sean said calmly, his voice steady and clear.

"No need." Xia Mingyu shook his head.

It's enough to know that they are still there. There is no need to disturb them. He is not a black-hearted boss who deprives his employees of sleep.

"Your Highness, my master, Viscount Hughes, asked me to tell you that he will host a family dinner for you tonight at sunset. The only people present will be my master and his most precious family."

"Besides this, the master has informed all servants of Black Wolf Castle that they must not disobey your orders and must treat you with ten times the respect you would have shown him. May I ask what you have ordered, Your Highness?"

Old Sean said respectfully.

"Butler, could you take me to the castle library?"

After a moment of silence, Xia Mingyu stated his main purpose for staying in the castle.

"My pleasure, Your Highness," Sean replied without hesitation.

"Your Highness, this is the library of Black Wolf Castle. It was established a hundred years ago by the first Viscount Hughes and has been continuously expanded by successive generations of Viscount Hughes. It is one of the most precious treasures of the Hughes family."

Old Sean stood in front of a closed oak door and narrated slowly.

Xia Mingyu nodded slightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his dark eyes.

"Your Highness, I am not qualified to enter here, so please open the door and enter. I will leave immediately."

Old Sean bowed slightly and then quickly left.

Even the old butler who has worked in the castle for decades is not qualified to enter the library.
Looking at the butler's departing back, Xia Mingyu was stunned.

He realized how severe the blockade of knowledge by the world's ruling class was.

"If I didn't have the blessing of this 1.4 billion status, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to step into this place even if I struggled my entire life."

Xia Mingyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Then he no longer hesitated, raised his hand, pushed open the oak door, and walked in.
