I, the heir of the great Eastern nation

"Me too? I got a share?"

The Knight of York paused for a moment, then pointed to himself with an incredulous look on his face.

Liu Zhao nodded.

"Yes, didn't you see there are five bowls? The one on the left is yours."

The Knight of York was thrilled upon hearing this. The thought of being able to eat such delicious food made him swallow hard.

But soon, a look of hesitation reappeared on his face.

"But Your Highness, I have not only failed to achieve anything, but I have also offended you. It is already a great favor that you have not punished me. How could I possibly dare to accept such a precious reward..."

The tall knight spoke with a face full of shame.

Seeing this, Liu Zhao, who was too lazy to waste any more words on the matter, decisively used the new rhetoric he had just learned.

"Knight, do you intend to disobey my orders?"

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"

The Knight of York's expression changed, and he suddenly bowed again.

Liu Zhao smiled slightly.

"Then listen to me, pick up your bowl right now and eat."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The Knight of York suddenly stood up straight, respectfully took the bowl of noodles that Liu Zhao pointed to, carried it a little further away, and then picked up a rough wooden fork to start eating.

Meanwhile, the old Thor family of three remained standing still, motionless.

Liu Zhao smiled slightly at this.

"You three eat too. This is something I specially prepared to thank you for saving my life. Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Liu Zhao's tone was very kind.

But old Thor remained hesitant and dared not move, while Simon and Lina exchanged a glance, also too afraid to make a move.

Seeing this, Liu Zhao felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Then, in the next second, he decisively changed to a serious expression.

"What? You want to disobey orders too?"

Upon hearing this, Old Torton shuddered. He quickly reached for the wooden bowl, secretly glancing at Liu Zhao out of the corner of his eye. Seeing Liu Zhao smile, he then placed the bowl near the door and began to eat with peace of mind.

Simon and the little girl Lina bowed respectfully to Liu Zhao with great gratitude.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness."

After they finished speaking, they picked up their wooden bowls one after another and carefully began to eat at the doorway.

Seeing that all four of them had eaten, Liu Zhao smiled slightly, picked up the last bowl of noodles, and stood up.

My first thought was to eat with my roommates, just like I used to do in college.

But the next second, he suddenly froze on the spot.

"Wait, given my current identity, if I really go over there, won't I scare them again?"

After a two-second silence, Liu Zhao gave a helpless wry smile, shook his head, sat down, picked up the wooden fork, and after gesturing at it for a few moments without understanding what was going on, he simply took out his chopsticks from his bag and started eating the bowl of noodles.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became incredibly quiet.

In the small room filled with a rich aroma, only the slurping sound of Liu Zhao eating noodles could be heard.

Soon, by the time Liu Zhao finished his noodles, the others had even licked the soup from their bowls clean, their faces filled with satisfaction and enjoyment.

Liu Zhao smiled slightly at this.

Luckily, I bought the large bag of Master Kong instant noodles, which is marketed as a full and satisfying meal. Looking back now, it made five bowls, which was just right, so it was definitely good value for money.

After they finished eating, amidst the other four's excited exclamations of "This is the most delicious food I've ever eaten in my life," Liu Zhao agreed to the Knight of York's suggestion to go to the castle together.

He quickly picked up his backpack, glanced at the simple wooden house one last time, waved to old Thor and his daughter, and then turned and got into the carriage that the Knight of York had parked by the roadside.

The carriage was driven by a special coachman, with York riding alongside on horseback.

Simon, as a knight's squire, followed the carriage at a trot with three other squires.

As the carriage started moving, Liu Zhao, sitting inside, couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of tension as he thought about the person he was about to meet.

"Hiss~ Judging from the Knight of York's reaction so far, my title of prince is certainly prestigious, but he's ultimately just a knight, which, according to common sense, belongs to the lowest rank of nobles. The lord I'm meeting this time, however, is a titled noble. I wonder if my title will even hold any weight."

"I wonder if the nobles of this world are the same as those in novels and movies. Perhaps... they're even extraordinary professionals skilled in martial arts or magic?"

The more Liu Zhao thought about it, the more uncertain he felt.

"Damn, there's so little usable information right now, it's impossible to do any reasonable analysis."

Frustrated, Liu Zhao made a decisive decision.

"Forget it, since it's already been said that this so-called title and blessing is a manifestation of the world's will, and it's backed by the world's will, there's no point in thinking too much about it. Let's just assume it's real and do what needs to be done!"

"No matter what, lords, nobles, and barons are essentially just small landowners in some remote village governing a few hundred or a thousand people. Back home, they're not even as powerful as a town mayor. I've even shaken hands with the head of one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and President Macron. Dealing with him is a piece of cake."

With this thought in mind, Liu Zhao immediately felt much more relaxed, and the psychological pressure he had been under was swept away.

When people are relaxed, their minds become more active.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhao also pulled open the carriage curtain and shouted to York outside.

"Knight, since the journey is boring anyway, why don't you introduce me to your lord?"

Upon hearing this, the Knight of York immediately smiled, nodded, and bowed.

"Of course, Your Highness, it would be my pleasure to serve you."

"My master's name is Karl Robert..."

……

After traveling for about two or three hours, Liu Zhao finally saw the castle that York had mentioned in the distance.

Having successfully prepared himself mentally, Liu Zhao's first thought at this moment was...

"Tsk, looks so-so. To be honest, not as good as one of those cigarettes in my hometown town government building."

Just as Liu Zhao was lost in thought, the carriage stopped at the castle gate.

At that moment, as the door slowly opened, a deep and powerful voice rang out.

"Lord of Greenstone, Baron Karl Robert, greets Your Highness!"

As Liu Zhao stepped down from the carriage, he saw a tall, green-haired man dressed in aristocratic attire leading a group of guards who knelt on one knee before him, bowing respectfully.

The sight of a dozen or twenty people kneeling in a huge crowd truly stunned Liu Zhao for a moment. That awkward feeling welled up in his heart again, and even though he wasn't socially anxious, he subconsciously wanted to crawl back into the carriage.

However, the mental preparation I had been working on on the way finally paid off at this point.

"No! I absolutely cannot back down!"

In crucial moments, think about what a real prince would do if he were in that situation!

"A prince? In terms of status, he should be about the same as the princes on TV."

Liu Zhao thought to himself.

understood.

Then, almost subconsciously, he made a gesture towards the group of people in front of him.

He put his left hand behind his back, raised his right hand slightly forward, and then smiled slightly.

He began to speak slowly, using the new language he had only recently mastered.

"Gentlemen, please rise."
