After three minutes, Carrie brought food items and arranged everything on the table before standing on the side.

“Who’s going to serve?” Mia asked. “Your grandfather?”

Carrie frowned and began to put one food item after another. There were five different items.

“Every day, you get to eat different varieties,” Mia said, “but who’s money is it?”

Carrie didn’t answer.

“It’s my parents’ money,” Mia added. “If we eat like this, more than what we need every day, then even a million dollar mountain will reduce to nothing in a few years. That’s why, I want either you or your husband to do a job and support this family. Whoever does the job outside doesn’t have to work here, but whoever doesn’t do a job outside will have to work within the house, whether it’s cooking dishes or cleaning the toilets. Tell this to others.”

Carrie’s eyes widened. “You mean you want to tell my dad to work also?”

“He’s only in his fifties, isn’t he?” Mia asked. “And he wants to retire already? He hasn’t been doing a

    A few seconds earlier.Most of the royal guards fought the men whom Horgror had brought with him.Blue and Red Ogres were fighting the Beasteater. They were not worried about their prince as Miguel was strong, and he was also guarded by the Swanmere family members. There was also the Aqua Knight, too.Andal rushed out of the villa and joined the prince. “Why the hell did Horgror return? What does he want?”“He’s after our heads, Brother!” Synatra blurted.“Damn, he’s so persistent!” Andal growled. “He dares to attack us even when we have Sir Gregg with us.”“The Ogres will be enough to take care of him,” Miguel confidently said. “I will put the Beasteater’s head on a spike and then gift it to my father. I’m sure he’ll be impressed.”Andal stepped behind the prince and silently sheathed his sword and thrust it without a shred of hesitation.The sword ripped through Miguel’s gut and came out from the front. Blood poured out of his mouth.Shock filled Miguel’s eyes.“Your Grace!” Blue an

    Miguel dressed up quickly and rushed downstairs.Andal and Aqua Knight were waiting in the hall.Blue Ogre and Red Ogre were also there.“Gregg?” Miguel frowned. “What are you doing here? Weren’t you exiled to Lowwood?”“I was, Your Grace, but…” Gregg looked at Andal.“We quashed the rebellion and were returning home, Your Grace,” Andal explained. “But on our way, we were attacked by Horgror.”“The Beasteater?” Blue and Red Ogres were startled.“If it wasn’t for Sir Gregg, we would have been in great trouble,” Andal said. “In light of his actions, I thought it might be possible to have his sins pardoned and have him reinstated as a high knight.”Elderwood was divided into three zones: Lowwood, Midwood, and Highwood.Lowwood contained realms from the ground level to the 49th realm.Midwood contained realms from the 50th realm to the 89th realm.Highwood contained realms from the 90th to the 110th realm.Lowwood was ruled by the Swanmere family.Midwood was ruled by three of the seven g

  • CHAPTER 557

    The Swanmere family along with the Greenlit family arrived at the villa where the prince was staying.Reveria looked around and spotted a white bear in the distance. On the back of the bear, there was a cage in which Rudi was tied up in chains.Seeing her brought tears out of Reveria’s eyes.Gabe understood that the young lady in the cage was Rudi.But there was a commotion going on in the villa.Some guards rushed in.Gabe also went in to check the situation.A maid was being publicly whipped by Red Ogre so viciously that not just her dress but her skin was also peeling off.She screamed in horror, but nobody dared to step in, not even the husband of that maid.“What did she do?” some of the guards murmured among themselves.“I heard that she farted while delivering food to the prince,” another guard said.“Whoa, that’s shocking.”Synatra stepped in and took the whip from Red Ogre. “Prince Miguel hates farts more than anything. When you’re approaching him, you should have been more c

  • CHAPTER 556

    Gabe and Reveria were on the wooden escalator heading to the 93rd realm.There were monster birds roaming about in the distance. Some of them saw the swan chariot and tried to attack.However, an aerial barrier stopped them.The guards were laughing as the monster birds tried to bash their way through the barrier.“Foolish creatures,” Synatra snorted. “When will they ever learn that the barrier can’t be broken with their beaks?”Just then, they saw another group coming down on the other half of the escalator.Synatra’s eyes widened because it didn’t look like a noble family.“How dare they travel when we’re traveling?” Synatra looked at the vice guard captain.And he immediately took the guards and went across the escalators and brought that family over.The head of the family immediately kowtowed before the swan chariot and said, “Forgive us, Lady Synatra. We didn’t know that the Swanmere family was coming.”“Then you should have run backward after seeing us,” Synatra blurted. “Howev

    A few hours passed.It proved impossible for Gabe to slip out from the guard duties.Because he had come into conflict with the vice guard captain, all the other guards were being hostile toward him.And they did not take their eyes off him.They looked at him when he moved his head.They looked at him when he poked his nose.They looked at him when he sighed and sneezed.They looked at him when he showed them the middle finger out of frustration, though they did not know what it meant.Eventually, the Swanmere family was on the move again.Gabe breathed a big sigh of relief as the Swanmere family did not choose to stay for a day or two when they easily could have.Reveria joined him. “I was waiting for you.”“My bad. I couldn’t find an opportunity to sneak out,” Gabe said.“Any update on the prince?”“Yeah. They’re in the 94th realm.”“That’s good. We might still be able to catch up to them.”On the 94th realm.Prince Miguel’s procession stopped as a noble family greeted him and requ

    On the 92nd realm.The Swanmere family stopped again to talk with some of the small noble families.Gabe and Reveria wanted to leave on their own.But Gabe was told to stand guard outside the house. Reveria was waiting for him elsewhere.Gabe was waiting for the right time to slip out.The vice guard captain came out of the house and announced, “We’ll be staying here for a few hours, so stay alert.”“A few hours?” Gabe did not like that. “I have to escape.”The vice guard captain came over to Gabe. “You will come with me.”“Me? What for, sir?”“You don’t get to ask questions,” he coldly blurted. “When your superior tells you to do something, you just follow. No questions asked.”“I’m not a robot, am I?” Gabe responded.“Robot… I haven’t heard that word in a while,” the vice guard captain’s expression turned a bit serious. “Yes, you’re not a robot, but you do the same job as a robot. That’s what a guard is.”“I didn’t join the guard unit to be a robot,” Gabe responded calmly. “A robot
