Chapter 107
Cyrus chuckled dryly, scratched her cheek, and looked around—perhaps because it was early morning, there were no other nobles in the hall, and only a few servants appeared from time to time, walking around the edge of the hall.
No one spoke again.
It doesn't seem appropriate for them to just stand there.
Cyrus said, "How about we..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
A group of people walked in through the entrance of the Sheri Hall, led by Prince Kashu, who was dressed in exquisitely made princely attire, just as he had when he received Cyrus.
It looks like we'll have some important guests arriving today.
Seeing that Prince Kashu seemed surprised to see them all standing in the hall of the guild hall in the early morning, Cyrus looked somewhat puzzled. Then, noticing that His Holiness the Pope was also there, she immediately came over to greet him.
Although Kashu didn't understand why the Pope was at the Sheri Hall, he didn't dare to ask any further questions.
After all, even though he was a prince, there were some things he couldn't say casually—for example, asking for reasons might offend the Pope.
Kashu stood there, pondering the possible relationship between His Holiness the Pope and the Lord of Desinia, or perhaps the other two distinguished guests...
Orville said, "Today seems to be the day the King of the Bovell Kingdom arrives in the Imperial Capital."
Kashu nodded, snapping out of his daze, and said, "You're right, His Majesty King Kozmo will be arriving at the Sheri Hall soon."
The Bulo Main Road was already bustling with activity, and a large number of people had gathered around the Sheri Hall. Even inside the lobby, one could faintly hear the cacophony of voices.
Cyrus is curious about the Bovell Kingdom, which worships the White Wolf King, and is naturally even more interested in and curious about the male supporting character, Gena Kozmo, from the original book.
[Honestly, I've been using this app to follow my favorite books lately. It has multiple reading sources, various voice options, and works on both Android Apple.]
So he stayed in the hall and did not leave immediately.
Prince Kashu waited for a while before stepping out the door.
Cyrus heard the sound of wheels rolling and orderly footsteps mixed together, gradually growing louder and louder, until finally stopping—Prince Kashu and the other party were talking in front of the Sheri Hall.
"Please come in," Prince Kashu said.
Cyrus watched as Prince Kashu entered first, his body slightly turned to the side, his pace slowed, as if he were leading the way for those behind him.
Kashu had just come of age. His height was not short for his age, but it wasn't tall either, around 1.78 meters. He was also in very good shape.
But the person walking behind Kashu was a stark contrast to him.
Because the person behind him was really tall and muscular, estimated to be over 1.9 meters tall, almost 2 meters, and even his slightly thick clothes couldn't hide the bulge of his muscles.
He wasn't wearing a heavy cloak, yet he seemed to radiate heat from head to toe.
This man is His Majesty King of the Bovell Kingdom – Gena Kozmo.
Cyrus thought to herself that the male supporting character in the original book had lived on the icy Far Northern Highlands since childhood, and was accompanied by wind and snow all year round, so he was not afraid of the cold and had a strong physique.
After arriving in the Saint Airo Empire, he was slightly unaccustomed to the temperature and climate differences, and it was common for him to wear thin clothes in winter.
Now, Gena Kozmo was wearing normal winter clothing for the Empire, which was a bit too thick for him.
Therefore, as His Majesty the King of the Bovell Kingdom entered the hall, he tugged at his collar and unbuttoned his shirt, his deep blue eyes simultaneously glancing at Cyrus and the others standing in the hall.
Since they had met face to face, Prince Kashu couldn't help but introduce themselves to each other.
Especially with His Holiness the Pope here, the past cannot be ignored.
When Kashu introduced Cyrus, Gena Kozmo looked over, and a subtle change in expression finally appeared on his handsome, calm face; his blue eyes were like the deepest, most solid ice in the icy wilderness.
He said, "So this is the Lord of Desinia."
Gena Kozmo spoke slowly, his words carrying a profound meaning.
Cyrus nodded without changing her expression. "Hello."
Gena: "I wonder which room the Lord of Desinia lives in on the west side of the Sheri Hall? I'd like to pay him a visit sometime..."
I live on the east side.
Prince Kashu explained, "Because the Lord of Desinia's pets are mostly large, ferocious beasts... it's not suitable for them to live with other nobles..."
"To avoid any untoward incidents, the Lord of Desinia, Grand Duke Achiyoli, and His Highness Prince Cavendish reside together on the east side."
Upon hearing this, Gena Kozmo's gaze involuntarily fell on the black panther standing behind Cyrus, his deep blue eyes flashing.
He said, "I would trouble the prince to arrange for me to stay in the east as well."
Prince Kashu froze, instinctively glancing at Gena: "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to..."
Gena affirmed this.
"I prefer peace and quiet; it's better if there are fewer people."
Kashu's gaze involuntarily fell on Desinia, as if it was because of him... whether it was the Grand Duke, the Prince, or now the King of the Bovell Kingdom, they all had to live together.
I must mention this to my mother when I return to the palace.
After thinking for a moment, Kashu nodded to Gena and said, "Since it is His Majesty's request, please come with me."
The eastern side of the Sheri Hall is located behind another hall, accessible only by crossing the lawn outside the courtyard. Distinguished guests stayed on the third floor of the guild hall, while their knights and servants stayed on the first or second floor of the eastern guild hall.
They entered the small hall of the east wing of the guild hall, and just as they were about to go upstairs, they heard the sound of running coming from upstairs—the sound of running down the stairs.
Cyrus tilted his head in confusion; he seemed to hear Walker's voice.
Sure enough, a dark shadow suddenly ran down the stairs. It was Coalball, with a plump Eggy in its mouth. Walker chased after it, telling Coalball to stop quickly.
Unfortunately, the Coalball briquette paid no heed.
Cyrus frowned and shouted, "Coalball!"
The large tiger with black and white stripes suddenly came to an abrupt halt on the stairs. Eggy, being carried by Coalball, had its chubby limbs curled up, sticking out its little tongue at Cyrus and letting out a silly bark.
"What's going on?" Cyrus asked Walker.
Walker smiled helplessly, touched the bridge of his nose with his index finger, and, perhaps feeling that it was a bit difficult to say, looked up—behind him, Snowball and Ice Cream also came down.
The large tiger with white skin and black stripes was clearly very angry, taking each step with great heaviness, its tiger eyes fixed on Coalball and Eggy with imposing majesty.
Behind Snowball, White Wolf appeared quite calm.
Gena Kozmo's gaze was fixed intently on the White Wolf.
The Coliford trainer he brought with him involuntarily widened his eyes, his eyes and face revealing an uncontrollable burning passion.
White Wolf!
A White Wolf with perfectly pure white fur!
Creator God above!
Coliford desperately wanted to reach out and pet the White Wolf. He swallowed hard, licked his lips, and almost wanted to tell His Majesty directly—this White Wolf must be brought back to the Ice Plains, back to the Bovell Kingdom!
Fortunately, he still retained some rationality.
This White Wolf undoubtedly belongs to the Desinia lord before them, but they are currently in the Saint Airo Empire, attending an important alchemist exchange meeting, and cannot openly steal it back.
Coliford suppressed his desire and planned to discuss it with His Majesty when no one was around.
Gena Kozmo's deep blue eyes, focused intently, held a passion hidden beneath the icy surface.
His gaze made Ice Cream pause in her downward steps, one front paw hovering in the air on the stairs, ears perked up, and her equally blue eyes looked over, meeting Gena Kozmo's gaze.
A moment later, Ice Cream casually looked away and continued downstairs.
Meanwhile, Snowball had already pounced on Coalball, who had put Eggy down earlier, and beat him up on the spacious stairs. Now Snowball was rubbing the disobedient Eggy.
Ice Cream pretended not to see her and walked past her, going downstairs to Cyrus's side. After not seeing her all night, she affectionately rubbed against Cyrus's outstretched hand.
Upon seeing so many ferocious beasts suddenly appear, Prince Kashu couldn't help but take a step back, his expression slightly changing.
But then he noticed that no one else was moving backward, and feeling embarrassed, he returned to his original position when no one was looking.
But it seems no one noticed him.
Kashu said in a dry voice, "Your Majesty Kozmo, your room is on the third floor next to Prince Cavendish's... Would you like me to take you up?"
Gena turned his head. "No need."
Prince Kashu seemed relieved and said he had to leave first. After Gena nodded, he bid farewell to His Holiness the Pope and the others.
After Prince Kashu left, Cyrus learned the whole story from Walker.
It turned out that Eggy was playing in Snowball's soft mat when he Snowball Snowball about to punish Eggy, Coalball stopped him and bit Snowball's tail to try to drag his little brother back.
Unexpectedly, it lost control of its strength and bit off a small piece of Snowball's tail.
Cyrus: "..."
He sighed, walked over, picked up Snowball's tail, and examined it closely. Finally, he noticed a small patch of slightly bald hair at the tip of the tail...
I almost missed it if I hadn't looked carefully.
Perhaps compared to going bald, Snowball was just more hurt by the bite.
Snowball's thick, large tiger paw was still pressed on Coalball's head, making a gurgling sound in its throat, as it pouted at Cyrus Zoe, looking slightly aggrieved.
Cyrus gently rubbed Snowball's suddenly erect tiger ears, offering comfort.
He understood that even if Snowball disciplined Eggy, he would only rub the cub a few times before letting it go, while Coalball's purpose in stopping him was more to deliberately bully his younger brother.
He didn't fight back after being beaten, probably because he felt guilty.
Cyrus couldn't show favoritism; with so many furry kids at home, she had to be careful to maintain a balance. So, after kneading the Snowball, she also hugged the Coalball, which had gotten up from the ground and was leaning towards her.
As for Eggy, Cyrus picked up the cub and placed it on Coalball's back, planning to give it a good talking-to when they got back inside.
How could you wet your brother's bed!
Cyrus silently made his plans, while the group below the stairs watched as he was gradually surrounded by a bunch of fluffy little creatures, nudging and rubbing against each other as he made his way up to the third floor...
Fortunately, Cyrus remembered them halfway there and turned back to wave. "Your Majesty, didn't you say you wanted to come to my room?"
Segalot smiled.
