In a kingdom near the kingdom of Solaris there was a man sitting on a throne while his expression was not good at all, this man was the king of the kingdom of Storne his name was Clyde Elclid Storne, in front of him was a kneeling man who had come to deliver the news about a request he had made.
"They denied it again your majesty, they said they do not intend to migrate to another kingdom either now or in the future, but they also said they were open to international business"
Said the kneeling man, when the kneeling man looked into the king's face he froze on the spot, his expression was not good at all, you could see the veins on his forehead showing how much anger he was feeling at that moment.
"Are you telling me that they dared to refuse again the generous offer of my brilliant kingdom?"
The king asked.
"Yes, your majesty"
Said the kneeling man, as soon as he heard the servant's confirmation the king became even more possessed and threw to the ground the glass cup, he was using to drink wine.
"Bunch of useless, you can't even do a task as simple as bringing a small store to our kingdom"
Said the king as he shouted, however, the reason for the king's anger was meaningless, although Ren's store is really small the monetary influence his store has and more than enough to make other kings look at X as a formidable trader that they should not take so lightly.
But unfortunately Clyde Elclid Storne could not see the truth, since he was a child, he always had everything, as being an only son since he was young, he was trained to be the crown prince, at some point he thought it was natural for everything to be his and for him to own everything, because for him this was the will of heaven, slowly calming down Clyde continued.
"And my son? surely he must have good news?"
Clyde asked.
"He has arrived without any problems in the realm of Solaris, besides, he also said that he has a brilliant plan in mind and will soon discover the true identity of X"
Said the man who was kneeling, as soon as he heard such news Clyde could not contain his excitement.
"Ohhh, as expected of my son, he truly is the heir to the great kingdom of Storne"
However, even if Clyde was happy there was no way he could have known that Edward's "Brilliant plan would simply be to use his authority as crown prince of Storne to try to talk to X, in Edward's view Solaris is a vassal kingdom, so they won't stop him from meeting X as long as he reveals his identity.
"We need to get our hands on that technology anyway, we can't let Solaris have something we don't have"
Clyde said, his face was far from looking like that of someone from royalty.

After the combat class a few days had passed, the time passed relatively smoothly without incident, Prince Edward really didn't like me although he didn't show it in public, as today was the weekend we wouldn't have a class, with that in mind Emi made me keep my promise to go to the castle, I had no idea why we were going there but honestly, I didn't care that much, if I could spend some more time with her that would be enough for me.
The carriage swayed as I looked out the window at all the citizens going about their daily business, as the carriage we were in didn't have the royal family symbol on it people probably thought we were simply noblemen going somewhere, in a short time, we arrived at the castle, even after 6 years it was still incredibly beautiful, as soon as we arrived at the entrance of the castle Emi and I entered while being guided by a maid, as soon as we reached a certain part of the castle Emi suddenly stopped causing us to look at her.
"I will go to my room to change clothes, please take him to my mother"
Hearing Emi's words the maid bowed.
"As you wish your highness"
Said the maid with an expressionless face, as Emi walked gracefully down the hallway, I couldn't help but think that I was passing by Emi's room, in my past life I had never left the hospital so I had never been to a girl's room, which made me somewhat curious to think what Emi's room would be like, after separating from Emi, I followed the maid in silence, we walked for a few minutes through the castle until we reached a door where there were two guards standing outside.
"Please let his majesty know that mister Ren has arrived"
Said the maid leaving me momentarily surprised.
(Why out of the blue is she being so formal with me?)
I thought as I looked at the maid, while my thoughts were elsewhere one of the guards entered and seconds later returned giving me permission to enter, as soon as I entered, I was amazed at the place, several flowers surrounded the beautiful garden I was in.
(I didn't know that this part existed inside the palace)
I thought as I looked around.
"Please follow the path"
Said the guard leaving me alone in the garden, I was a little confused by this as I thought one of the guards would be staying with me, but I still decided to ignore this, walking through the garden I became more and more attracted to the flowers, after a while I saw two people having tea while chatting, one of them was a beautiful looking blond man while the other was a beautiful woman with silver hair that resembled Emi's, both were the king and queen of the country, as I slowly walked towards them, finally noticing me the king calls my name while keeping a gentle smile on his face.
"Ren, it is very good to see you again, it has been 6 years"
Said the king with a smile on his face.
