Chapter 226: What

The Kingdom of Rosed.

The Wang Gong.

Before the gate.

Lu En and Lu Qi spent roughly an hour before finally arriving at their destination and notifying the guards stationed at the Wang Gong.

"The king of the Kingdom of Rosed is named Rosed IV."

"He has ruled for about three hundred years…"

"Two hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Rosed had just joined the World Government and did not possess the abundant resources it has today. A hundred years ago, King Rosed III discovered the unique environmental advantages within the kingdom."

"Since then, the economic development of the Kingdom of Rosed has surged uncontrollably."

Lu Qi gave Lu En a brief overview of the Kingdom of Rosed's developmental history.

"Rosed IV…"

Lu En slightly narrowed his eyes and listened quietly.

Soon after.

While the two waited.

The guards stationed at the Wang Gong returned.

"Gentlemen, the king requests your presence."

The king's personal guards, clad in armor and wielding fine longspears, regarded Lu En and Lu Qi with suspicious glances.

The World Government and the Navy…

Sent two brats to pay homage to the king?

What is the meaning of this?

Impossible to understand.

However,

Such matters were certainly not for mere gate guards to question.

Next,

Under the guidance of this royal guard,

Lu En and Lu Qi stepped smoothly into the Wang Gong.

As soon as they crossed the threshold, a wave of opulence washed over them.

The palace grounds were vast and spacious, adorned everywhere with gold, silver, and precious jewels, radiating nobility and extravagance.

The floor tiles were clean and tidy, clearly swept daily.

Around them,

Flowers and plants were neatly trimmed and arranged.

Colorful blossoms occasionally released faint, sweet fragrances.

A gentle breeze stirred,

A rich floral scent filled Lu En's senses.

Half a quarter-hour later.

The royal guard halted abruptly before the entrance of a magnificent grand hall, face full of solemnity, and instructed Lu En and Lu Qi: "Gentlemen, please—the king has been awaiting you inside."
