I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 686 - Another Family Reunion

The noble Gustav family stepped out of their hotel all dressed up to kill.

They had spent the past few days buying the most expensive outfits that had been encrusted in Pearls and other precious gemstones.

They stepped into the Limousine ride that they had requested from the hotel, and hastily made their way towards the palace merrily.

Even though the limousine experience was something that they had never experienced... just stepping in made them feel even more like royalty than before.

They crossed their legs and enjoyed the luxurious ride, all the while going over their plans in their head.

And the moment they saw the palace's view from a distance, they couldn't help but focus all their attention on it.

The palace looked even more grand and mythical than that of Arcadina's.

They checked in and had their inspection done before getting into the palace.

And all that time, they had been thinking about how they were going to begin living in the palace.

Of course, Debbie and Praila who also had their own imaginations running wild, still hated Lucy for even more.

How could that rat live in such a place while they, on the other hand, lived in a place that looked like the ghetto when compared to this?

Both sisters secretly took each other as enemies, as they wouldn't let anyone get in their way... Not even their own blood.

Both ladies perked up their bosoms and adjusted their walks to seem nobler.

In their mind, maybe his majesty Landon could pop out at any time.

So it was best to always be alert, just in case.

.

The family of 5 that were currently being ushered into the waiting room, whispered amongst themselves while taking their seats.

"Remember ladies, you might meet your future husband.

So don't forget what I taught you all last night.

If that horse can do it, then I expect even better results from you all."

"Don't worry mother, we know." Both women said in unison.

"Hmhm... you all should listen to your mother.

Soon, it won't be long before they call us in.

So don't embarrass or ruin my only chance of getting royally recognized.

Because if you both mess it up, then I won't forgive you at all!!"

"Yes, father." Both girls responded with a little bit of fear lingering within them.

When their father was extremely angered, it always felt like he could take up an entire army all by himself.

He would kill the closest servants around at will in a fit of rage, as if taking his anger out on them.

Of course, he couldn't very well kill them since that would look bad politically.

So he would terrify them and threaten them by doing everything he wanted to them onto the servants.

Both ladies knew that for today's matter, they couldn't mess it up!

Or else when they went back to the Capital, they would really see hell... as well as have their expenses cut and getting grounded.

Sometimes psychological torture was more dreadful than physical.

So both ladies couldn't help shuddering in fear when they heard Gustav's warning.

.

On the other hand... while the Gustav family waited anxiously, Landon, Lucy and mother Kim had already been told of their arrival.

Mother Kim cupped Lucy's face and kissed her forehead.

"My poor baby.

If you don't feel like meeting them now, then we can always push it to a later date."

"Lucy thanks mother for her care.

But pushing it will only delay the matter and won't change the fact that I still have to face them one day.

So it's best that we do it now." Lucy said confidently.

Mother Kim and Landon nodded back when they saw her firm expression.

"Alright.

Since you're ready, then let's send for them.

Remember, you are not alone.

You have us and the people now.

So as the future queen of Baymard, you should never let yourself get bullied."

"Yes!" Lucy said, before squeezing Landon's hands confidently.

That's right!

She wasn't alone anymore, so what was there to be afraid of?

She had been terrified every time she witnessed her father kill innocent slaves and servants in various brutal ways.

And even her step-siblings and stepmother whipped and got her beaten daily.

But now, she lived in Baymard... far away from that monstrous family.

So what was there to worry about?

With that, one of the secretaries went out of the room and headed straight towards the Gustav family.

"The noble Gustav family?"

"Yes, that's us!"

"Hmhm...

His royal Majesty Landon Barn, accompanied by Queen mother Kimberly and Princess Lucy... will see you all now.

Please follow me in an orderly fashion."

With that, they were led towards the Audience room.

The secretary quickly stopped at the door and passed some words to the guards there, who then announced the arrival of the Gustav family.

Gustav and his family felt their hearts leap out of their chests when they heard the announcement.

The day that they had been waiting for, had finally arrived.

Today, they would be Royals!

.

Gustav and his family walked into the room confidently and tried their best to control their emotions.

Just the audience room alone made their jaws almost drop to the ground.

But how could they allow themselves to show such unbefitting expressions?

They looked at Landon, Lucy and mother Kim and showed their warmest expressions ever.

"We greet his majesty Landon Barn, Queen-Mother Kimberly and Princess Lucy." They should in unison while giving a polite bow.

And the moment they raised their heads, they all looked at Lucy affectionately.

Their gazes were so affectionate that even Lucy and mother Kim found themselves confused for a moment.

As for Landon, if not for the fact that he had watched them go over their plans last night, he too would have been confused as well.

These people truly deserve an Oscar.

Damn!

Were all nobles in this era born to be bonified actors?

Landon was truly tempted to get up and clap for them when he saw their loving and affectionate gazes.

What an outstanding performance!

.

"Welcome to Baymard!

Welcome!

I trust your stay has been good?"

"It has, your majesty," Gustav answered merrily, while Debbie and Praila gave out shy expressions instead in hopes of catching Landon's eyes.

But to their disappointment, Landon had only been focused on Gustav and no one else.

They felt dispirited for a bit, before their eyes secretly lit up once more.

His Majesty was probably trying to leave a good impression on his father-in-law.

Yes!

That must be why he was pretending not to notice them.

After all, how could he see beautiful goddesses like themselves and still choose to like that pile of poop beside him?

Hmhm... that must be it!
