Charlie was initially satisfied with Julien's attitude, though Julien was getting some major goodies from him too. If anything, letting him drink a little portion of the Healing Pill was Charlie almost going all-in on the man.As such, he told Julien, "I can see your resolve in staying in Aurous Hill, but I am still going to be watching your every move. You've done your homework, so it's time to give you a practical test!"Julien straightened up right then.He couldn't help feeling the urge to raise his hand right then and offer a salute instead and tell Charlie he had nothing to worry about—that he wouldn't let him down.Still, considering the gap in their culture, he kept his hand down and bowed his head. "Don't worry, Sir! I'll do my very best!"Yeah," Charlie nodded. "You should join your father to continue the tour. We can catch up in Oskia.""For sure!" Julien nodded right away. "Oskia, it is! I'll be going now, everyone—see you again in Aurous Hill!"Everyone bade him far

Helena immediately had a hunch that Julien wanted to see Charlie, and she smiled, "There's one down the hallway outside the banquet hall, to the east.""Thank you, Your Majesty!" Julien bowed his head most solemnly before whispering to his father, "Don't mind me, Pops.""Yeah," Harrison nodded. Julien was just tagging along, and his presence was inconsequential, so he wasn't worried.On the other hand, Julien was already jogging to the banquet hall, where Charlie, Vera, Merlin, and Christian Acker were already dining by the huge banquet table.Julien was beside himself in excitement when he saw Charlie, and he ran over to his side, bowing his head respectfully, "Greetings, Mr. Wade! We meet again!"Charlie nodded and gestured at Kaeden, who sat opposite, "Allow me to introduce you to my uncle, Kaeden Acker. I'm sure you've met?"Julien knew Kaeden but wasn't acquainted, though he enthusiastically approached Kaeden and shook his hand, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Acker… although we've k

Each finding their respective satisfaction, Julien and Harrison were happily chatting along the way to the palace.Somehow, Harrison found Julien even more agreeable and was patting himself on the back for having such an understanding son. As for Julien, he was in a pleasant mood now that he had gotten his father's approval, and he was looking forward to moving base to Oskia, to properly get in Charlie's good graces, pulling each other closer.The move would definitely work in his favor without any kind of drawback to Julien. Even if he couldn't secure Charlie's support in claiming control over his family, he still could hope to get some pills out of Charlie's hand with flattery. That was absolutely better than staying in the United States right under his father's nose, who would only grow ever more suspicious and distant just because of their proximity.As such, they were once again an amicable father-son pair, almost as if Julian was suddenly back in his childhood days.The roy

Such was always the case for the kings of old, feeling the chill down their spines when they suddenly realized that they had way too many sons.They would send them away from the capital right away, appointing them as lords of their own fiefs while keeping an eye on their every move. If necessary, they would just send the other fief lords to keep each other in check so that none of them would make false moves.However, the Rothschilds were not a royal dynasty.They didn't maintain the strict hierarchies typical of a feudal society, and their more distant branches had dwindled following certain foreign wars. Since then, the Rothschilds had decided to withdraw, and after that, none of them had been willing to leave ever since.As such, Julien's sudden proposal to leave US soil was basically providence for Harrison. With his eldest son leaving the country willingly, he had the excuse to send any other unruly elements in the family—especially the threats—abroad to 'train'.Hence, he t

Surprised by what his own son had just said, Harrison blurted out, "Training… abroad?"The question of succession was one that plagued every royal bloodline since time immemorial. In fact, it was almost inevitable for kings to start being wary of their own sons even after appointing them as the crown prince.The mindset was simple, too. In a nutshell, they were willing to hand over the throne, but the successor didn't get to be impatient. And if they did show signs of impatience, things would quickly escalate to paranoia: was their successor hoping for them to die earlier to claim their throne?Harrison was no exception, as he already suspected that his eldest son was overeager to inherit his position, even getting ready to hurt him for it. That was why Harrison was especially wary of Julien, especially after appointing him as his successor. He was willing to let Julien succeed him after his death, or if he lost the ability to lead.And that was not the present.It was also why

As Charlie, Vera, Kaeden, and Merlin were disguising themselves as technicians, they naturally didn't follow Helena back to the palace. They had nothing arranged for the evening either, so they simply decided to stay at the data center, looking around and learning.On the other hand, Harrison headed straight to his son's room when he returned to their hotel, where Julien was smoking a cigar to stave off his rising irritation.He had barely returned Stateside for a couple of days when his father dragged him here to Norway, and worst of all, he was left goofing off in the hotel and wasn't brought along while his father worked.While it left Julien annoyed, he knew why he was there. His father didn't actually need his company at all. He just didn't want him to stay Stateside alone.Realizing that, Julien knew very well that he wouldn't be allowed to loiter in the States because his father now saw him as a clear and present threat. The wise move was to distance himself for a while so
