In a blink of an eye, several more days had gone by ever since William"s first meeting with Landon.
They had unwinded, drank like old comrades, and had even gone about sightseeing and partic.i.p.ating in several fun activities around Baymard.
.
In short, over the past few days..... the Baymardians had also seen William and Landon out together on multiple occasions.
All that they knew, was that William was their king"s sworn brother who had helped him out in the past.
And coupled with the fact that William looked somewhat similar to Landon, they couldn"t help but wonder if they were true brothers or distant cousins.
.
Either way, they trusted their king"s judgment.
So if their king didn"t see this fellow as a threat, then they too wouldn"t see him as one.
They were very much still simple minded people, who believed that their leader was always right... since in their eyes, be was equivalent to a messenger from the heavens.
.
As for William, this was the first time that he had gone around without his mask before.
It was somewhat refres.h.i.+ng to say the least.
Plus it would look rather suspicious, and would also pull more attention to himself if he did wear one in here.
Firstly, when anyone arrived at the Landport, they had to show their faces no matter what.
And even when they later had ro make their Visas at the office within District C... they still had to show their faces as well.
.
In addition to all this, no one within Baymard... be it stranger or visitor, was wearing a mask.
So if he just showed up with his full faced mask, would go it seem like he was in costume instead?
This would make several heads turn towards him all the more.... and this would instead call more attention than if he just walked around barefaced.
.
With the high inflow of guests, coupled with Baymard"s current population .... one would definitley have a hard time spotting and following people around the busy streets of Baymard.
Baymard was the new "It" empire, that was now seen as a "must-visit" place by the people within the Pyno Continent.
Be it peasants, merchants, slaves and even n.o.bles..... those who had heard of Baymard"s glory all wanted to see the place, even if it was just for a day or so.
.
Of course since the news had just circulated around the Pyno continent not too long ago, 98% of the visitors who came in..... were all from Carona, with the rest being non-Caronian merchants and those from Riverdale city.
Anyway, the place was jam packed with curious and busy people.
And with all the rare and amazing things around Baymard, it would truly be hard for one to concentrate on Willaim"s face.
But just for security reasons, he got himself a light summery scarf for his disguise.
.
And even though the citizens had taken note of him earlier.... that was because he had been walking alongside the most popular person in Baymard, his majesty Landon Barn.
In truth, he were just walking on the streets without a scarf, no one would even recognize him at all.
He would blend right in with them, so there was really anything to fear about his appearance while he stayed here in Baymard.
.
Landon on the other hand, could now access William"s information on the system..... for a hefty price of course.
And to his shock, they were actually cousins as well.
No wonder they looked so much alike.
Now it all made sense!!
.
Reading William"s information, he couldn"t help but wonder how Alec would feel when he realized that the brother that he had "killed", had now risen from the dead.... and even had a son for that matter.
And since Oden Barn was the rightful king instead of Alec..... then didn"t that mean that William truly had every right to inherit the throne?
The system had definitely been aware of this when it chose William to be king.
It was a good thing that he had no plans of taking over Arcadina, as he was sure that his reign might not even last long, since the G.o.d"s already had someone in mind.
.
Anyway, even though Landon knew of William"s past... he still had to wait for William to do his big reveal.
In a way, this was more advantageous to him instead.
["Elder brother w.i.l.l.y, if you ever need help out of Baymard.... no matter what it is, if it"s something that doesn"t go against my beliefs, just ask away and it shall be done."]
Those were his exact words to William.
.
He wanted to build an unshakable trust first, so that when William finally did his big reveal and needed his help in taking Arcadina"s throne.... he wouldn"t hesitate to come to Landon anytime.
Also, just in case the system tried to bullsh**t him again.... Landon had bought a ridiculously expensive invisible tracker from the system and placed it on William.
This way, no matter where he went within Hertfilia, Landon would always know his exact location.
He wasn"t taking any chances when completing this mission.
.
As time flew by, the duo spent more time together..... a.n.a.lyzing each other"s characters to the tee.
And soon, mother Kim and Lucius had returned from their honeymoon trip.
Seeing William here, they also teased him as well.
How could they not remember him?
They urged him to stay in the palace for the time being, but he quickly turned down the offer.
.
The royals here were like famous celebrities, so if he was frequently spotted out with them when Alec arrived... wouldn"t it blow up his cover instead?
And with that, William and his crew pa.s.sed their days going out taking in all that Baymard had to offer.
They went to the Zoo, went go-kart racing, skateboarding, roller skating and so on.
In short, they had the time of their lives while here.
And just like that another 2 and a half weeks had gone by swiftly.
.
--Riverdale City, Arcadina--
.
The sun was high up in the sky, and the day was bright and fair.
On the ma.s.sive roads, several carriages could be seen making their way into the city.
Unlike the merry and cheerful atmosphere within the city... the atmosphere within these carriages were all murderous and chaotic.
How dare they block their path when they were about to enter into the city?
Alec"s blood was boiling hot, as he had never been treated like this in his entire life.
.
When his entourage had first arrived, they had expected to just step into the city just like that... After all, the royaal Crest was literally hung all over the carriages.
But who would"ve known that these weird dressed guards at the front wouldn"t even put the royal crests in their eyes, and still insisted on following protocol?
Even after they were told who was inside the carriage, these people still didn"t budge at all.
.
Alec"s entire body trembled violently, as he firmly clenched his fists in anger.
Good!!.... very Good!!
He didn"t know who these men belonged to, but he was sure that they weren"t his.
So his only question right now.... was who the h.e.l.l would be so confident enough to take and occupy part of Arcadina"s western territory while he was still alive and kicking?
It was definitely not the work of any of the other well known empires, as this territory was very far from any of their borders.
His mind worked fast like clockwork, and he quickly concluded that this was for sure Baymard"s handiwork.
.
But so what?
Since they had gone over the top by not giving him special treatment at the City"s gates... then they would face his wrath sooner or later.
For now, he couldn"t blow up his mission just because of some small fires.
Hence he decided to bottle up his flaring anger and abide by their rules.
.
His entourage marched towards the City lord"s estate.
But when he got there, what he saw almost made him puke blood and die in the spot.
The entire estate was now used as some sort of housing unit for the guards and workers from Baymard.
And to make matters worse, when he tried to get in.... the guards there all denied his request for entry, and now they had to sleep in an inm somewhere within the city.
When was the last time that he had received such treatments from people of lower births than him?
This was absolutely perpostrous!!
.
And just like that, they had ended up staying at one of the stone estates that belonged to one of those n.o.bles that had previously fled away from Riverdale city.
Landon had changed the estate and made it like an Inn instead for situations such as these ones.
Arriving at the inn, Alec was shocked to see all 3 of his children here.
.
Sure, when he had previously asked them what they were going to be doing over the next few months.... they had indeed mentioned something about visiting Baymard.
But he just didn"t expect for them to visit Baymard so fast.
.
They too were shocked to see Alec as well.
In short, Eli and Cary were the first ones to arrive 3 days ago.
They had stayed here all this time, so as to dig up information on Baymard.
As for Connor, he had only arrived a day ago and had coincidentally b.u.mped into Eli and Cary during the morning breakfast meal option.
Seeing each other all in the same inn ..... Alec quickly called for a Barn family meeting.
.
They spoke about their findings, as well as their unfair treatment whilst they were here.
"Father they"re being too much!!!
Just who the h.e.l.l do they think that they are?" Cary exclaimed angrily.
Everyone was angry about this "unfair" treatment as well, but right now... going to Baymard was more important than anything else.
Hence they could only calm themselves down and think rationally.
.
"Little sister calm down... soon we"ll leave this city, so there"s no need for you to worry over these insignificant ants." Connor chimed in.
"Hes right!
For now, just go with the flow.
So father, when do you suggest that we leave for Baymard?"
"Well...... I"d like to see this land of milk and honey as quickly as possible.
So ready your men immediately..... because by 11 A.M tomorrow morning, we"ll take off!!"
"Yes father!"
