Not even their own blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both ladies perked up their bosoms and adjusted their walks to seem nobler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their mind, maybe his majesty Landon could pop out at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was best to always be alert, just in case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family of 5 that were currently being ushered into the waiting room, whispered amongst themselves while taking their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember ladies, you might meet your future husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So don’t forget what I taught you all last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that horse can do it, then I expect even better results from you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry mother, we know.\" Both women said in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmhm... you all should listen to your mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it won’t be long before they call us in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So don’t embarrass or ruin my only chance of getting royally recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if you both mess it up, then I won’t forgive you at all!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, father.\" Both girls responded with a little bit of fear lingering within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their father was extremely angered, it always felt like he could take up an entire army all by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would kill the closest servants around at will in a fit of rage, as if taking his anger out on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he couldn’t very well kill them since that would look bad politically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he would terrify them and threaten them by doing everything he wanted to them onto the servants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both ladies knew that for today’s matter, they couldn’t mess it up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or else when they went back to the Capital, they would really see hell... as well as have their expenses cut and getting grounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes psychological torture was more dreadful than physical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So both ladies couldn’t help shuddering in fear when they heard Gustav’s warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand... while the Gustav family waited anxiously, Landon, Lucy and mother Kim had already been told of their arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Kim cupped Lucy’s face and kissed her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My poor baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t feel like meeting them now, then we can always push it to a later date.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucy thanks mother for her care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But pushing it will only delay the matter and won’t change the fact that I still have to face them one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s best that we do it now.\" Lucy said confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Kim and Landon nodded back when they saw her firm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you’re ready, then let’s send for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, you are not alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have us and the people now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So as the future queen of Baymard, you should never let yourself get bullied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" Lucy said, before squeezing Landon’s hands confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t alone anymore, so what was there to be afraid of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been terrified every time she witnessed her father kill innocent slaves and servants in various brutal ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even her step-siblings and stepmother whipped and got her beaten daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she lived in Baymard... far away from that monstrous family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what was there to worry about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, one of the secretaries went out of the room and headed straight towards the Gustav family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The noble Gustav family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that’s us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmhm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His royal Majesty Landon Barn, accompanied by Queen mother Kimberly and Princess Lucy... will see you all now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please follow me in an orderly fashion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, they were led towards the Audience room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secretary quickly stopped at the door and passed some words to the guards there, who then announced the arrival of the Gustav family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gustav and his family felt their hearts leap out of their chests when they heard the announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day that they had been waiting for, had finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, they would be Royals!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gustav and his family walked into the room confidently and tried their best to control their emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the audience room alone made their jaws almost drop to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could they allow themselves to show such unbefitting expressions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at Landon, Lucy and mother Kim and showed their warmest expressions ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We greet his majesty Landon Barn, Queen-Mother Kimberly and Princess Lucy.\" They should in unison while giving a polite bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the moment they raised their heads, they all looked at Lucy affectionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes were so affectionate that even Lucy and mother Kim found themselves confused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people truly deserve an Oscar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were all nobles in this era born to be bonified actors?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon was truly tempted to get up and clap for them when he saw their loving and affectionate gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What an outstanding performance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome to Baymard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Welcome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I trust your stay has been good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has, your majesty,\" Gustav answered merrily, while Debbie and Praila gave out shy expressions instead in hopes of catching Landon’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to their disappointment, Landon had only been focused on Gustav and no one else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt dispirited for a bit, before their eyes secretly lit up once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Majesty was probably trying to leave a good impression on his father-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That must be why he was pretending not to notice them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, how could he see beautiful goddesses like themselves and still choose to like that pile of poop beside him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmhm... that must be it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(^_^)\u003C\u002Fp>",1142,"2026-06-03T07:55:30.310Z","2026-06-03T07:55:37.642Z",1,"novelbin.me","87d16ffa4866131a170e18e1880405fa7234451009d79cc0e2d91aca6c4210ad","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-687","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-685",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
