Chapter 638: Chapter 637: Higgins King

Several days later, at Jizhou Prefecture.

Jizhou is one of the thirteen major provinces, and Jizhou Prefecture is its capital city, boasting the largest population and territory.

On the way, Yusuf Zuck had not been actively planning to leave, since he was not alone; he had to take care of the safety and future arrangements for Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance. Therefore, since Skye Torres was not allowing Ruth and Ember to leave, he decided to simply stay within the crowd.

When they arrived at Jizhou Prefecture, Yusuf’s initial guess was that the woman and child could be the family of a local administrator or the governor, but what he never expected was that the carriage would stop in front of a place called ’Green King’s Mansion.’

To dare to call it a Royal Palace, it had to belong to a Prince of the dynasty, either the Emperor’s son, his brother, or perhaps an uncle. Therefore, it was clearly evident that this was a person of great importance!

Yusuf did not dare to use Telekinesis to peek around recklessly. A Royal Palace would surely be a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons lay, wouldn’t it?

A group of people of all ages streamed out from the Palace, helping Skye Torres out of the carriage. She also instructed that Yusuf and the others be settled properly and that she would discuss it with the Prince later.

A steward led Yusuf Zuck, Ruth Wilcox, and Ember Vance through a side entrance into the house.

The house was enormous, possibly with eight courtyards leading in and out. There were many servants and maids, and each courtyard had armed guards, indicating a high level of security.

The three of them were taken to a remote courtyard, a separate small yard enclosed by high walls with only a red lacquered main gate, in total solitude and seclusion. There were three rooms, with the main one in the center and two side rooms to the east and west.

The furnishings in the rooms were also very exquisite, with tables and chairs made of sandalwood faintly scented with the fragrance of antiquity. The beds came with curtains, and the bedding was new. The tea set laid out on the table was very delicate.

Once the steward had shown them in, he asked them to rest and then went about his own business.

"What do we do now?" As soon as the steward left, Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance looked at Yusuf Zuck anxiously. To think they had been traveling with a Princess and a Prince all the way to a Prince’s mansion!

"No rush, but from now on, be careful when we speak. We need to be cautious and discreet in our communication here; there are masters around."

"So, are you planning to stay or to leave?" asked Ruth Wilcox.

"I’ll decide after I’ve seen the Prince. Even if we leave, we’ll need enough travel expenses. Surely we can’t miss out on any rewards later. Remember, we don’t have a single penny right now!" Yusuf chuckled.

"Exactly, we should take enough travel expenses if we are to leave!" Ember Vance nodded repeatedly. Being penniless, they knew little about the world, so survival was a concern.

They both knew that Yusuf Zuck was a man of ideas and decisiveness, not a carefree person or one without a plan. So they decided to listen to whatever Yusuf said.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Palace Hall of the Royal Palace, a young man with a pair of sexy little mustaches held the child named Xingyun, laughing heartily.

The man appeared to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, quite handsome, and those little mustaches only added to his charisma without making him look bare-lipped or aged; in short, those mustaches suited his personality perfectly.

After playing with the child for a while, the child was taken away by his nursemaid, and the young man approached Skye Torres, wrapping his arms tightly around her.

"It is my negligence, my fault, that has caused you alarm!" The young man, the Higgins King of Green King’s Mansion, was only twenty-five years old. At this moment, he held Skye Torres close, their affection for each other apparent.

"Who were those people?" Skye Torres asked curiously.

"They are not from the capital. Just some bandits I’ve offended over the years, nothing to be concerned about. Thankfully, you are both safe!"

"It was all thanks to that person named Yusuf." Skye Torres said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard that an expert has appeared who has killed twenty men and also has two wives as beautiful as Heavenly Immortals, right?" Higgins King said with a smile.

"Hmm, they really are very beautiful, have a great temperament, and are quite special. It’s the first time Skye has ever seen such remarkable women," Skye Torres nodded and said.

"Haha, but are they as beautiful as my Skye?" Higgins King laughed heartily.

"Skye doesn’t dare to compare herself!" Skye Torres said with a bashful smile.

"Really? Who in the world could be more beautiful than my Skye?" Higgins King shook his head.

"You’ll know when you see them. However, the three of them seem to be without a home. Perhaps the Prince could take them in. That Yusuf Zuck is no ordinary individual. Having him stay by the Prince’s side to handle matters and act as a bodyguard wouldn’t be such a bad idea!"

Higgins King shook his head, "I have three thousand visitors at my Royal Palace, each one skilled in their own right. To keep someone, I need to know their background. Let me meet them first. Someone, bring the guests over!"

Twenty minutes later, Yusuf Zuck, Ruth Wilcox, and Ember Vance finally arrived outside the Palace Hall. The courtyard was simply too vast, and so when the butler went to fetch them, the round trip took twenty minutes.

However, just as Yusuf Zuck was about to enter the hall with his sword ready, an invisible guard suddenly stopped him: "Those entering the hall, may not bring weapons!"

"My sword does not leave my side. Inform your Prince that if I cannot bring my sword, then there shall be no meeting!" Yusuf Zuck took a step back and said coldly!

"Audacious!" The guard bellowed, about to draw his sword.

"What are you doing? How dare you!" Skye Torres suddenly stepped out, reproached the two guards, and then graciously saluted Yusuf Zuck, "Mr. Yusuf, please accept my apologies. The Prince is waiting inside, please come in."

Only then did Yusuf Zuck enter, while Skye Torres stayed a step behind, speaking with Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance.

The Palace Hall was vast and spacious. Upon entering, Yusuf Zuck saw the Higgins King sitting there grandly, with a man in his forties, with green beard and long hair, also carrying a sword by his side.

Yusuf Zuck didn’t use Telekinesis to explore this middle-aged man, but he knew that this person was probably the strongest in the Royal Palace, his aura far more powerful than the Big Fetus Breath.

"Eh? Indeed!" Just as Yusuf Zuck and his companions stood firm, Higgins King let out a soft exclamation, his eyes lighting up.

Yusuf Zuck’s eyes narrowed slightly; if this was a lascivious Prince, that would be somewhat troublesome.

However, Higgins King did not show any lustful or greedy expression, but merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then waited for Yusuf Zuck and his two companions to pay their respects!

He was the Prince, and naturally, others had to speak and pay their respects to him first. Even if he was their lifesaver, they still had to greet him first as the Prince.

"Mr. Yusuf pays his respects to the Prince!" Yusuf Zuck saluted Higgins King with folded hands, not kneeling but simply bowing his head slightly, while Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance made a proper salutation, having learned it from Skye Torres.

"Haha, please, take a seat," Higgins King still didn’t stand up but made a polite gesture of deference, and then Skye Torres led Yusuf Zuck and the two women to seats at the side. Skye Torres poured the tea herself.

Only after Yusuf Zuck took his seat and Skye Torres had poured the tea did Prince Higgins King say with a beaming smile, "I am eternally grateful to Mr. Yusuf for stepping in to help. I humbly ask, what brings Mr. Yusuf to this region? Although I do not involve myself in political affairs, I still hold some sway here. If there’s anything you need, feel free to ask!"

Yusuf Zuck picked up his teacup and took a gentle sip. The Prince’s words seemed to carry the intent to send him off, suggesting he didn’t trust Yusuf. So after a sip of tea, he gently set down the cup and said, "Well, my beloved wives and I are traveling the world, and we’ve run out of funds. If the Prince is truly grateful, then how about rewarding me with a thousand gold pieces?"
