Alaric’s eyes shook when he saw the Astanian emperor’s attributes.
This…
I thought the limit of a Venerable’s attributes was just 1000.
All this time, he believed that 1000 was the maximum attribute a Venerable could reach, but he realized he had been mistaken.
He is too powerful!
No wonder those Venerables look meek in front of him. The difference is just like night and day.
As if sensing his gaze, the Astanian emperor glanced in his direction.
When their eyes met, he smiled gently at Alaric and walked towards him.
“Greetings, Your Majesty! I am Alaric Silversword, son of Lucas Silversword and Jade Kristine Astania.” This was their first meeting so he introduced himself.
“I know who you are.” The emperor chuckled.
“You are the most talented prodigy that Astania has ever produced.” He added.
When he said this, Donovan and the three Venerables of Veronica scrutinized Alaric from head to foot. They had heard some information about him, but this was the first time they had seen him in person.
Alaric waved his hand while shaking his head. “I don’t deserve such praise, Your Majesty. There are many ancestors who are more talented than me.”
John Phillip laughed at his words. “You don’t need to be humble. You can be proud of yourself. No one in history managed to become a Transcendent Knight at your age.”
He stared deeply at Alaric when he said the last sentence.
This kid… he is close to advancing…
The emperor’s eyes flashed when he sensed this.
“I carry the blood of Astania. It is only natural.” Alaric boasted without batting an eye.
The Astanian emperor was pleased to hear this. He was grinning from ear to ear.
Donovan and three Venerables of Veronica rolled their eyes as they listened.
“Oh, I almost forgot. Let me introduce the gentlemen behind me.” The emperor gestured at Alaric to come closer.
“This guy right here is Donovan Cleavesnow. He is the right-hand man of Arcientus Van Harune.” The emperor pointed at Donovan.
He then leaned over and whispered to Alaric.
“Don’t be fooled by his gentle appearance. This guy is quite cunning. If you come across him next time, you should be very careful.”
Although he was whispering to Alaric, Donovan and the three Venerables still heard his words. They knew that he was intentionally doing this.
Alaric didn’t expect the emperor to be this mischievous. He thought that the emperor was always serious, but he was still human after all.
“Do you see this old guy wearing the gaudy golden armor? He is Martin Lancer. He is quite the show-off, but he is the best lancer I know.”
“The thin guy beside him is Hansel Gremory. He doesn’t look like a Veronican citizen because his mother is someone from another empire.”
“And this one right here is Vince Karl Hamilton. He looks the youngest of the three, but he is actually the oldest. He only looks young because of his integrated monster trait.”
Donovan and the three could only force out ugly smiles on their faces at the emperor’s unique way of introducing them. They were annoyed, but they didn’t dare show it on their faces.
“It’s an honor to meet the respected Venerables.” Alaric politely greeted them.
“Not bad. Not bad. You are young and promising.” Martin praised.
“It looks like the future of Astania is bright,” Hansel added.
After exchanging pleasantries with the Venerables, the emperor cleared his throat and spoke to him. “Alaric, your household did a great job in this war. Tell me if you want anything.”
The emperor’s words surprised him. This was a clear sign that the emperor favored him.
Is this a test? What should I say here?
Alaric was silent for a moment.
There’s no need to think hard. I will just tell him what I truly want.
He looked at the emperor and replied. “Your Majesty, I don’t have any grand wishes. I just want to go home and see my family again.”
The emperor raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect this kind of answer from him. If it were his sons, they would definitely ask for some material things or more authority.
The Astanian emperor rubbed his chin while staring at him. “I initially wanted to bring you with me to watch the execution of the Harunian Imperial Family, but since you want a vacation…”
The emperor’s face broke into a smile as he nodded his head. “Alright. I will grant your wish.”
Hearing this, Alaric was ecstatic. “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“Haha! Look at you. Your household contributed a lot and you just asked for a vacation.” The emperor was amused.
Alaric looked ahead, his face filled with longing. “I don’t want to regret not seeing them more in the future. My family is my most important treasure.”
His words resonated deeply in the emperor’s heart.
I don’t want to regret not seeing them in the future…
This kid… how can he say such profound words at his age?
The emperor recalled the image of someone he hadn’t seen in a long time. It was a beautiful woman wearing traditional clothes. She always played the gu zheng.
The songs she played surfaced in his mind. It was as if she were playing the song right next to him.
I should have visited you more often… my wife…
Before becoming the emperor of Astania, he met this gentle woman. She wasn’t a noblewoman or the daughter of a rich merchant. She was just a commoner, but she was the only woman who had captured his heart.
Thinking about her, he let out a sigh.
Alaric, walking by his side, heard this, but he didn’t know what the emperor was thinking.
