I, the heir of the great Eastern nation

The couple exchanged a glance and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Liu Zhao naturally took in the reactions of Baron Karl and his wife.

It can only be said that before he has a certain understanding of the world's setting system, this seemingly awesome title above his head is undoubtedly his only reliance.

In order to prevent these native nobles from suspecting his identity, Liu Zhao deliberately made himself appear more like a true nobleman in all aspects.

In his understanding, the stereotypes about noblemen in movies and TV dramas are nothing more than a few points.

Arrogant, fussy, concerned with appearances, a fake gentleman, loves to show off, loves to be pretentious, and flatters superiors while bullying subordinates.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Liu Zhao had already come up with a set of impromptu tricks to show off while taking a bath.

In this Western fantasy world where almost everyone uses knives and forks, a pair of "ivory chopsticks" produced in Yiwu naturally becomes the most useful tool for showing off.

So far, the results seem to be quite good.

Liu Zhao picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of stewed meat, and put it in his mouth.

Then, the next second, he vomited it out.

This action momentarily stunned the Baron and his wife.

Baron Karl immediately stood up and asked.

"Your Highness, is it because the food is not to your liking?"

Then they saw Liu Zhao frown.

"Try it yourself. What's wrong with this stew? It smells so fishy, ​​how can you actually eat it?"

腥？

Baron Karl paused for a moment, then immediately picked up a piece and tasted it himself.

No, isn't this normal?

Baron Karl was puzzled, but he put on an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's possible that the chef who made this dish wasn't very skilled. I'll have him make it for you right away."

He waved for his attendants to come.

However, just as the attendant turned to leave, Liu Zhao's voice rang out again.

"This grilled meat is no good either, it's too greasy."

The baron turned around and saw Liu Zhao put down the half-eaten roast meat with a look of disgust and casually scooped up a bowl of soup to drink.

"Ugh~ This broth is so bland, can anyone actually drink it?"

"This bread isn't soft at all; could it be that they skimped on the ingredients?"

"This dish..."

"Is this all you usually eat? Really?"

In the short two minutes that the Baron was in a daze, Liu Zhao, with a look of disgust, picked through and criticized most of the dishes on the table.

Baron Karl, the host, went from being stunned at first to blushing with embarrassment at the end.

When they made eye contact with their wives, they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

"To dare to be so rude and humiliating in front of the host! This prince has absolutely no class or manners; he's completely unbecoming of a nobleman!"

At this moment, their feelings toward Liu Zhao plummeted.

Then, just as Baron Karl was feeling a bit overwhelmed and was about to bite the bullet and speak,

But then he saw Liu Zhao on the other side shaking his head and sighing.

"Sigh, a small place is a small place. You probably don't get to eat anything good usually. You even have to use spices sparingly. When you think about it, you're quite pitiful."

"Well, you're lucky to have met me today. Come, come, let me treat you to something good to eat."

Liu Zhao grinned and pulled an ordinary-looking glass jar from his backpack.

Lao Gan Ma Chili Sauce

Just like when I eat breakfast at school, I sneakily unscrewed the lid and took out a chopstick.

But to the Baron and Baroness, this scene presented a completely different picture.

The transparent material, the unique shape, and the completely unfamiliar runes and graphics on the bottle... This artwork full of special design sense is actually just a container for food?

The two were stunned again, mouths agape, unsure of what to say.

Meanwhile, Liu Zhao poured a large dollop of chili sauce into his own bowl, and then immediately poured a portion into each of the Baron and his wife's bowls as well.

The bright red chili oil stood out prominently in the white bowl.

Liu Zhao's sudden action made Baron Karl forget his earlier embarrassment. He blinked a few times and asked Liu Zhao a question.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Liu Zhao grinned.

"Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, you wouldn't know it even if I told you, just think of it as some kind of special condiment."

As he spoke, Liu Zhao picked up a slice of white bread, coated it with chili sauce, and then opened his mouth to take a mouthful.

Then, feeling that familiar, soul-stirring sensation on the tip of his tongue, he couldn't help but show an expression of enjoyment.

"Ah~ this is what people should really be eating!"

One bite finished, then another.

Seeing that the baron and his wife were still stunned, Liu Zhao didn't forget to remind them.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat too!"

Upon hearing this, Baron Karl exchanged a glance with his wife, and then followed suit and began to eat as well.

White bread dipped in chili sauce.

Baron Karl was initially skeptical of this unprecedented combination, but as he began to chew it, his expression changed rapidly.

"So...delicious!"

The rich and invigorating new flavor conquered the baron's taste buds almost instantly.

His eating speed began to increase.

White bread, roast meat, stewed meat, meat soup...

The familiar dishes on the table, which Baron Karl had long been tired of eating, were transformed into dishes of exceptionally high quality after being dipped in chili sauce!

My appetite surged, and I devoured the food!

For a moment, the couple, who had been holding a grudge because of Liu Zhao's disdainful words, put their emotions aside and focused on eating.

Soon, after silently eating, when the two felt full and their faces began to show satisfaction, they were both a little incredulous when they saw the mess of food scraps in front of them.

I actually ate so much in this meal?

When their eyes met, a tacit understanding from years of marriage revealed that they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

"You've misunderstood him. This prince is generous, open-minded, and always willing to share; he is the true nobleman!"

In that instant, the two men felt an even greater liking for Liu Zhao, finding him pleasing to the eye in every way.

However, they did not forget what they were supposed to do.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, Baron Karl and his wife exchanged a glance and he chose to speak first.

"Your Highness, I have heard some of your story from the Knight of York. Now that you have come to my territory, I wonder what your plans are, and if there is anything I can do for you?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhao's heart stirred.

coming!

The conversation that followed with Baron Karl was crucial for his future development!

"Since magic and supernatural powers exist in this world, I must be extremely cautious about what I say next, especially since I'm unsure if the other party has the means to detect lies!"

Liu Zhao thought to himself.

Then, when Karl took the initiative to speak, Liu Zhao sighed and his expression suddenly became full of disappointment.

"To be honest, you might not believe it, Baron Karl, but I'm a bit lost right now. Would you like to hear my story?"

Baron Karl was somewhat taken aback by Liu Zhao's sudden change in attitude. After exchanging a glance with his wife, he slowly spoke to Liu Zhao.

"With pleasure, Your Highness."

Liu Zhao nodded, his tone becoming somewhat forlorn.

"Sigh, to be honest, I don't know how I got here. I was just out having fun with my friends when, inexplicably, after a spatial fluctuation, I found myself in the Monster Forest you're talking about."

"Even now, I still can't figure out what happened, but after eliminating all the impossibilities, there's only one possibility left: I was set up."

Yes, this inexplicable time travel made Liu Zhao feel like he had been set up.

As for who set up the scheme... he didn't know, and he had nowhere to ask.

This is his true feeling.

But these words had a different meaning when they reached the ears of Baron and Baron Karl.

The thought of Liu Zhao's princely status immediately sparked a lot of imagination between the two.

Were we set up?

Who set this up?

The ability to teleport and banish a prince with a protected status unharmed over a long distance is something that only a legendary archmage specializing in spatial magic could accomplish.

Possessing such immense power, yet choosing to exile rather than kill directly leaves only one possibility.

Who will inherit the throne!

Political struggle!

In an instant, Baron and Baron Karl were already envisioning a spectacular political drama of infighting among the royal family.

At this moment, Liu Zhao's voice continued to ring out.

"My current situation is dire, but it doesn't matter. Since I'm still alive, it means my motherland hasn't abandoned me. Perhaps my current predicament is just a trial they've set for me. One day, I will return home in glory and reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to me!"

His words became incredibly firm, and Liu Zhao's expression became full of fighting spirit.

The Baron and Baron witnessed this scene, which further confirmed their suspicions!

Baron Karl was deeply moved by Liu Zhao's words, and his tone became excited.

"Your Highness, your situation is truly moving! Your confidence and resilience are something Karl greatly admires. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do to help; I will certainly do my utmost!"

That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!

Liu Zhao was overjoyed and immediately made the request he had prepared long ago.

"That's wonderful, Baron Karl. I've grown up alone in a foreign land, and everything here is different from my homeland, which makes me feel very insecure."

But it doesn't matter. Even without a comfortable life or a reassuring army, my bloodline and surname still protect me. These things are still there, so I have no fear even if I start from scratch.

To adapt to a new environment, it's crucial to quickly understand the power structure and situation. Therefore, could you do me a small favor and find me a few books related to noble blessings and magical supernatural powers?
