nIn a blink of an eye, several more days had gone by ever since William's first meeting with Landon.

nThey had unwinded, drank like old comrades, and had even gone about sightseeing and participating in several fun activities around Baymard.

n.

nIn short, over the past few days..... the Baymardians had also seen William and Landon out together on multiple occasions.

nAll that they knew, was that William was their king's sworn brother who had helped him out in the past.

nAnd 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.

n.

nEither way, they trusted their king's judgment.

nSo if their king didn't see this fellow as a threat, then they too wouldn't see him as one.

nThey 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.

n.

nAs for William, this was the first time that he had gone around without his mask before.

nIt was somewhat refreshing to say the least.

nPlus it would look rather suspicious, and would also pull more attention to himself if he did wear one in here.

nFirstly, when anyone arrived at the Landport, they had to show their faces no matter what.

nAnd even when they later had ro make their Visas at the office within District C... they still had to show their faces as well.

n.

nIn addition to all this, no one within Baymard... be it stranger or visitor, was wearing a mask.

nSo if he just showed up with his full faced mask, would go it seem like he was in costume instead?

nThis would make several heads turn towards him all the more.... and this would instead call more attention than if he just walked around barefaced.

n.

nWith 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.

nBaymard was the new 'It' empire, that was now seen as a 'must-visit' place by the people within the Pyno Continent.

nBe it peasants, merchants, slaves and even nobles..... those who had heard of Baymard's glory all wanted to see the place, even if it was just for a day or so.

n.

nOf 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.

nAnyway, the place was jam packed with curious and busy people.

nAnd with all the rare and amazing things around Baymard, it would truly be hard for one to concentrate on Willaim's face.

nBut just for security reasons, he got himself a light summery scarf for his disguise.

n.

nAnd 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.

nIn truth, he were just walking on the streets without a scarf, no one would even recognize him at all.

nHe would blend right in with them, so there was really anything to fear about his appearance while he stayed here in Baymard.

n.

nLandon on the other hand, could now access William's information on the system..... for a hefty price of course.

nAnd to his shock, they were actually cousins as well.

nNo wonder they looked so much alike.

nNow it all made sense!!

n.

nReading 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.

nAnd 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?

n

n

nThe system had definitely been aware of this when it chose William to be king.

nIt 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 God's already had someone in mind.

n.

nAnyway, even though Landon knew of William's past... he still had to wait for William to do his big reveal.

nIn a way, this was more advantageous to him instead.

n

"Elder brother Willy, 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.

"

nThose were his exact words to William.

n.

nHe 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.

nAlso, 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.

nThis way, no matter where he went within Hertfilia, Landon would always know his exact location.

nHe wasn't taking any chances when completing this mission.

n.

nAs time flew by, the duo spent more time together..... analyzing each other's characters to the tee.

nAnd soon, mother Kim and Lucius had returned from their honeymoon trip.

nSeeing William here, they also teased him as well.

nHow could they not remember him?

nThey urged him to stay in the palace for the time being, but he quickly turned down the offer.

n.

nThe 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?

nAnd with that, William and his crew passed their days going out taking in all that Baymard had to offer.

nThey went to the Zoo, went go-kart racing, skateboarding, roller skating and so on.

nIn short, they had the time of their lives while here.

nAnd just like that another 2 and a half weeks had gone by swiftly.

n.

n--Riverdale City, Arcadina--

n.

nThe sun was high up in the sky, and the day was bright and fair.

nOn the massive roads, several carriages could be seen making their way into the city.

nUnlike the merry and cheerful atmosphere within the city... the atmosphere within these carriages were all murderous and chaotic.

nHow dare they block their path when they were about to enter into the city?

nAlec's blood was boiling hot, as he had never been treated like this in his entire life.

n.

nWhen 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.

nBut 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?

nEven after they were told who was inside the carriage, these people still didn't budge at all.

n.

nAlec's entire body trembled violently, as he firmly clenched his fists in anger.

nGood!!.... very Good!!

nHe didn't know who these men belonged to, but he was sure that they weren't his.

nSo his only question right now.... was who the hell would be so confident enough to take and occupy part of Arcadina's western territory while he was still alive and kicking?

nIt was definitely not the work of any of the other well known empires, as this territory was very far from any of their borders.

nHis mind worked fast like clockwork, and he quickly concluded that this was for sure Baymard's handiwork.

n.

nBut so what?

nSince 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.

nFor now, he couldn't blow up his mission just because of some small fires.

nHence he decided to bottle up his flaring anger and abide by their rules.

n.

nHis entourage marched towards the City lord's estate.

nBut when he got there, what he saw almost made him puke blood and die in the spot.

nThe entire estate was now used as some sort of housing unit for the guards and workers from Baymard.

nAnd 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.

nWhen was the last time that he had received such treatments from people of lower births than him?

nThis was absolutely perpostrous!!

n.

nAnd just like that, they had ended up staying at one of the stone estates that belonged to one of those nobles that had previously fled away from Riverdale city.

n

n

nLandon had changed the estate and made it like an Inn instead for situations such as these ones.

nArriving at the inn, Alec was shocked to see all 3 of his children here.

n.

nSure, 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.

nBut he just didn't expect for them to visit Baymard so fast.

n.

nThey too were shocked to see Alec as well.

nIn short, Eli and Cary were the first ones to arrive 3 days ago.

nThey had stayed here all this time, so as to dig up information on Baymard.

nAs for Connor, he had only arrived a day ago and had coincidentally bumped into Eli and Cary during the morning breakfast meal option.

nSeeing each other all in the same inn ..... Alec quickly called for a Barn family meeting.

n.

nThey spoke about their findings, as well as their unfair treatment whilst they were here.

n

"Father they're being too much!!!

nJust who the hell do they think that they are?

" Cary exclaimed angrily.

nEveryone was angry about this 'unfair' treatment as well, but right now... going to Baymard was more important than anything else.

nHence they could only calm themselves down and think rationally.

n.

n

"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.

n

"Hes right!

nFor now, just go with the flow.

nSo father, when do you suggest that we leave for Baymard?

"

n

"Well...... I'd like to see this land of milk and honey as quickly as possible.

nSo ready your men immediately..... because by 11 A.M tomorrow morning, we'll take off!!

"

n

"Yes father!

"
