Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 5 Please accept me as your servant!

The village chief's adoptive father is the middle-aged man in a sheepskin robe who comes to deliver meat or fruit every day.

Why did he come to see me? He couldn't have asked me to pay for the food expenses for these days!

Thinking of this, a bitter look appeared on Xia Mingyu's face. He was now a real pauper. If the other party really did this, he would have to rely on hard labor to pay off his debts.

"Your Highness Mingyu, if you don't want to meet me, I will decline on your behalf."

Seeing that Xia Mingyu didn't respond for a long time, An Liya outside the door thought he refused, so she spoke again.

"Please let him in."

Xia Mingyu thought about it and agreed.

If he wants to gain a foothold in this world, he can't stay in a small wooden house all the time. He must come into contact with more people.

The village chief is undoubtedly a good contact, and he should be able to get a lot of information from him.

"Your Majesty, I, your humble self, and my beautiful daughter send our greetings to you. May God bless you!"

As soon as he came in and put down the full basket of fruits in his hand, Robert pulled Anlia and was about to kneel down to worship her, but fortunately he stopped him in time.

"Please sit down." Xia Mingyu gestured.

"Your Highness, you are so polite!"

Roberta smiled awkwardly and rubbed her palms, but she still didn't dare to sit on the chair and just stood there stiffly.

Xia Mingyu felt a little helpless, because this wooden house was obviously his house.

In this case, he had no choice but to stand there.

"Mr. Village Chief, may I ask what brings you here?" Xia Mingyu asked directly.

"Your Highness, I heard from my daughter that you have learned the language, so I came here specially. First, I want to congratulate you on your extraordinary learning talent, and second, I want to ask what you need."

"For example, is the living environment poor? Do you need more meat in your diet? Are you satisfied with the fruit you were given?"

Robert asked with a big smile on his face.

This was a bit beyond Xia Mingyu's expectations. He thought the other party would first ask him which country he was from and why he couldn't even understand the language.

Now it seems that the village chief has no intention of exploring his origins and is just trying to please him.

"I don't need anything, but if I have to, I want to see the person who saved me."

Xia Mingyu thought for a moment and said.

He was deeply impressed by the brave man who shot the flying wolf in the eye with an arrow, not to mention that the other party also saved his life. No matter what, even from the most basic moral point of view, he should express his gratitude.

"God of the Sun, Your Highness, the person you're referring to must be Little Berg. He's the most talented young man in our village. Without any guidance, he achieved the hunter profession on his own, unlike the other young men who had to continue to be serfs like us."

"You might not know this, but he took the initiative to ask me to pass on the prey to you these days. He's such a warm-hearted and polite young man!"

"If he hadn't always treated An Liya as his real sister since childhood, I would really want to..."

Robert kept talking until Anlia couldn't stand it anymore and kicked his heel from behind, and then he realized his mistake.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. People like us are really impolite." Robert scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I'll go get little Berger over right away."

After saying that, as if to ease the embarrassment, Robert hurried away, completely ignoring Anlia's eager and suggestive gaze.

"Miss Anlia, do you have anything to say to me?"

Xia Mingyu noticed the hesitant look on the pretty face of the blonde girl next to him.

After thinking for a moment, Anlia shook her head. She knew her adoptive father must have noticed her gaze, and since he didn't respond, it meant that now was not the time to bring up "that matter."

Not long after, Robert came to the cabin with a thin, stern-looking young man carrying a quiver and a bow and arrow.

There were two lines of white text above the boy's head, one for civilian and the other for hunter.

Civilians receive status blessings, while hunters receive occupational blessings. Unlike status blessings that are determined at birth, occupational blessings are acquired through acquired accumulation and will also bring various abilities to their owners.

For example, the majority of people in the village have the profession of farmer, which can increase the yield of the crops they grow.

"Your Highness, this is Little Berg."

Robert introduced respectfully, then gestured for the other party to salute.

Berg was about to bend down and kneel without hesitation, but fortunately Xia Mingyu stopped him in time.

"You are my savior. There is no law in the world that requires a savior to kneel down." Xia Mingyu said quickly.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Saving you from the wolves is not a favor to you, but an honor to me."

Berg said calmly.

This was not an impromptu performance, but he had already thought of the draft in his mind overnight over the past few days.

After all, saving a distressed heir to a super kingdom is undoubtedly the most crucial and precious opportunity in his life that can never be replicated.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Mingyu asked hesitantly.

It is his principle to repay a favor.

Although Xia Mingyu knew that he had nothing now that he had just arrived in another world and that what he could give back was very limited, the moral values ​​shaped by society in the past twenty years still made him unable to help but speak out.

"It's my honor to help you. How can I ask for anything?" Berg said without hesitation.

"But." The boy changed the subject.

"I do have a request that I hope you, in your kindness, can grant." A hint of hope clearly flashed across his slightly dusty face.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyu's expression tightened, because even if the other party only asked for a small amount of money, he would be powerless with an empty pocket.

If there is no other option, I can only sell this set of modern clothes.
Under Xia Mingyu's nervous gaze, Berg finally spoke:

"Please accept me as your attendant!"

Xia Mingyu: “???”

You saved me, and you want to be my servant?

Xia Mingyu's mind was full of questions, but Anlia and Robert beside him looked clear, as if they had guessed it long ago.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I swear to the great God of the Sun and Justice that I will never use this favor to gain favor."

"I am willing to sacrifice my life for your safety and obey any of your orders, no matter whether they are reasonable or unreasonable, just or wrong. I will do my best to complete them. I only ask that your glory shine upon me and protect me as I pursue the path of strength that I long for."

Berg knelt on one knee and spoke solemnly, his voice clear and powerful, his angular face full of sincerity.

Xia Mingyu was silent for a moment.

To be honest, he actually wanted to agree. After all, he had nothing after traveling through time. If he could take in a strong man who could kill the leader of the wolves with one arrow as his subordinate, at least his basic safety would be guaranteed.

But he remembered the second half of the other party's oath.
