Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 87 Fanatical Lords
Castle hall.

In the hall, demons were dancing wildly. Everyone was shocked by the scene and was at a loss as to what to do. They seemed to be sleepwalking when a majestic female voice suddenly rang out.

"Silence!" Rosa shouted sternly, and deep purple magic power burst out from her body, causing layers of air waves to roll in all directions.

Whoohoo!
After being blown by the cold wind, everyone whose brains were overloaded gradually woke up.

"It hurts, it's not a dream," the two brothers Roy and Roland muttered to themselves, covering their red faces.

The facial muscles of Warren and Albert finally stopped twitching.

Edward, with wet hair and looking disheveled, took a deep breath and finally confirmed that this was not a dream, but a bizarre reality.

Victor. Although he no longer repeated the impossible, his gloomy face became even paler, and he didn't even blink, like a dead person.

Because whether it was a dream or reality, he felt that there were only two possible outcomes for him: miserable or even worse.

God damn it, the young boy he casually joked about at the banquet turned out to be the prince of an unprecedented superpower with 1.4 billion people. Even those bards wouldn't dare to make up fairy tales like this!
Bishop Rune, who was filled with resentment due to the temporary replacement of the godfather, had his resentment long since dissipated, replaced by panic and anxiety.

Just now, he actually pushed this prince, whose nobleness could no longer be described simply by the word "noble". This is an unforgivable crime!

Although logically he is a servant serving God and should not be affected by the status of a secular person.

But the number of 1.4 billion is really scary!

The future master of a nation of 1.4 billion people is the God of Storms and Hunting whom he serves, and he must be treated with courtesy.

Because the other person can almost be seen as a symbol of "human beings".

"What are you all standing there for? Come and pay your respects to His Highness, lest His Highness Mingyu Xia think that we, the lords of the Southern Territory, are as rude and disrespectful as those unmannered barbarians of the North."

Rosa scolded coldly.

This is both a rebuke and a reminder to the lords.

At this point, after Rosa's two consecutive reminders, the people in the hall finally returned to calm. No wonder!
"Your Highness, I greet you, the most honorable one. Please forgive me for not recognizing you earlier..."

"Your Highness Mingyu, it is my lifelong honor to be able to offer blessings to my comrade's child with you. Please allow me to offer you a glass of wine!"

"Your Highness, do you like horses? As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a hero. I recently got a black horse, and its hair is as dazzling as yours. I think you must be the most suitable owner for it!"

The lords blushed and gathered around Xia Mingyu, talking in unison. They racked their brains to find words of praise in their minds in the hope of gaining the favor of this unprecedentedly noble prince.

After all, if that cold-faced murderer Karen could manage to get His Highness to adopt his child as his godson, something even more outlandish than a fairy tale or epic poem, there's no reason they couldn't do it?!
"That's enough! You're disturbing His Highness. Leave now!"

Rosa frowned and growled.

Under the pressure of the majesty of the Lord of the Southern Territory, the lords slowly retreated with reluctance. Among them, Warren Locke, the lord of Locke, had even bent down to kiss the tip of His Highness's shoe, but was forcibly dragged away by other lords.

Tapping.

Rosa slowly walked towards Xia Mingyu. As the distance between them shortened, the serious expression on her wrinkled face quickly melted away like snow, revealing a smile as warm and brilliant as the spring breeze.

"Your Highness, I am honored to have you as my grandson's godfather. Even though I am still an old man who has seen a bit of the ups and downs of life, I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw your identity with my own eyes."

"Please forgive my rudeness." Rosa bowed slightly.

Subsequently
"Your Highness, since you are visiting the Southern Territory and are my grandson's godfather, please be our guest at Twilight City, the heart of our Southern Territory. Let me, an old woman, show some hospitality."

Rosa said with a smile on her face, and her cyan eyes, the same as her daughter's, looked at Xia Mingyu with a little more heat.

The wife of the eldest son Roy is pregnant again. If it is a boy, she does not expect His Highness to be the godfather. As long as there is a blessing, she would be willing to exchange it for half of Twilight City!

After all, she knew very well that no matter how many external things one had in this world, they could not compare to the protection above one's head, because that was the protection of the world beneath one's feet!
Lords: “???”

Okay, you drove us away just so you could run away?

"Your Excellency, thank you for your invitation. I will go if I have the chance." Xia Mingyu said politely.

One reason was that Countess Martha had given him a friendly smile before she had given him the protection.

Secondly, and most importantly, after living in the South Territory for such a long time, he has learned that the South Territory is the only paradise in the Kingdom of Sosia, which is currently plagued by famine.

The person who created this paradise was none other than Count Martha's late husband, Red Flame. Count Martha, who had been calling for tax cuts, was also one of the creators of this paradise.

So no matter what, Xia Mingyu will respect this old man.

Hua Hua Hua.

At this time, Karen brought a bowl of water, dipped some with her finger and sprinkled it on Daniel's face who had fainted.

The cold water gradually woke Danielle up and she opened her eyes.

Then she immediately looked at little Haydn in the baby basket, or rather the protection above Haydn's head - the dark blue "Godson of the King".

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, great, it's done, it's done!"

"My son was born a crescent moon, the king's godson!"

Danielle Martha, known as the Flower of the South and famous for her beauty and elegance, lost all her composure at this moment and laughed like a madman with her mouth wide open.

The crazy laughter made Xia Mingyu frown slightly. Snap!

Without hesitation, Karen slashed at the back of Danielle's neck.

Bang, Danielle fainted again.

But this time she didn't faint from happiness, but was knocked unconscious by her husband.

Seeing this, Rosa gave Karen an approving look.

For the first time, she felt that her daughter deserved to be beaten, because even she was a little jealous of her daughter.

No matter how close Haydn was to her, he was still her grandson, not her biological grandson.

None of the lords in the hall, including Danielle's former suitors, were surprised by Danielle's crazy appearance.

The fact that he was born with the protection of the Crescent Moon rank was truly terrifying!

In the Kingdom of Sosia, when the two princes of the King of Gluttony were born, the great nobles of the whole country came together to offer their blessings. The cardinal of the Holy City of the Church of Storms came all the way to personally recognize them as his godsons, and all the citizens celebrated the birth of the princes together.

After going through such a tedious and labor-intensive process, the two princes were finally able to be born with the status and protection of the Crescent Moon rank.

And now, just by recognizing Haydn as his godson, His Highness forcibly promoted Haydn's protection to the Crescent Moon rank.

The lords of the southern border suspected that even without their blessings, as long as His Highness had Haydn's protection, he would still be at the Crescent rank.

This means that Haydn Hughes has the same starting point as the prince of the kingdom!

If their children were born at the Crescent Moon level, it would be a conservative estimate to say that they went crazy and took off their clothes and danced naked on the spot!

Thinking of this, the lords' eyes suddenly turned red.

This is an unprecedented, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
They don't ask for His Highness to recognize their child as his godson, but just a word of blessing, or even asking them to kneel down and pledge allegiance on the spot, they would be willing to do so!
After all, their family has been stuck in the title of Viscount for hundreds of years.

"My lords, I have a favor to ask of you."

Xia Mingyu looked at the lords in front of him and spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, please feel free to ask. Even if it means accompanying you through the Mist of Lost, past the Ring Serpent, and breaking through the Wall of Sighs, I am willing to serve you, your noble lord."

Warren bowed immediately and spoke passionately.

Brown nose! (sycophant)

"Your Highness, I feel the same way." The other lords cursed inwardly and stepped forward to express their opinions.

There are few fools who can become lords. They immediately guessed that the prince in front of them was most likely from the East Continent and wanted to go back.

After all, the total human population of the entire Western Continent is less than 1.4 billion.

Considering this, Warren's words just now are undoubtedly the best statement.

And this is not a lie. As long as this noble prince can leave a blessing first, they will have no problem sacrificing their lives to accompany this prince on the journey.

After all, it is worth it to exchange a life for the prosperity of the family!

Maybe it was because of this that Karen persuaded His Highness to agree to be his son's godfather.

"You misunderstood." Xia Mingyu shook his head.

"I just hope you can promise not to reveal my identity to anyone, including the confidants and family members you brought with you today."

Xia Mingyu spoke.

If this request is not made, the news that an heir to a kingdom with 1.4 billion citizens has arrived in the south may spread throughout the world in a few days.

Upon hearing this, the lords quickly analyzed the gains and losses.

There is no benefit in leaking information about His Highness.

Moreover, judging by the various madman-like bad behaviors of the King of Gluttony in the past, if he goes crazy again and attacks His Highness, it might cause a conflict between the two countries in the future, plunging the entire Sosia into war, which would be very bad.

If it is not leaked, the benefits brought by a prince who has no worries and lives in the southern border forever will be too great!
"Your Highness, I swear on my honor that if I or my servants reveal your secrets, I will be ridiculed for the rest of my life and will never be respected again."

"Your Highness, I swear to God"

After just a few seconds, the lords swore not to leak the news.

Except for Victor, who looked pale.

"You are being disloyal to the King of Sosia. I am ashamed to be associated with you!" Victor angrily scolded everyone.

In fact, his heart was bleeding. He also wanted to please the prince to gain benefits, but he had already offended him badly. If he put himself in the prince's shoes, he would never let him go.

Therefore, the only way to survive at this moment is to quickly bring the other party's news to the King of Gluttony. In this way, not only can he survive, but he may also be able to exchange the information for the opportunity to be promoted to the title.

Thinking of this, Victor's feet slipped, and a gray-white torrent of magic burst out from his body. He rushed out of the hall at an extremely fast speed like an arrow.
