What was the name of the youth again?

Forget it, it isn’t important.

The guards following him feared that the situation would end in a disaster and couldn’t help but say, “Well, it’s your duty to receive customers. Can you take our sir to the VIP section inside first?”

The staff opened his mouth and was just about to refuse, but in a blink of an eye, he saw thel guards ‘accidentally’ revealing their emblem.

The staff’s expression instantly changed, “Of course, of course! Please!”

On the other end, Halls finally met the real little Gladstone.

The man was young and looked harmless to all living creatures. His features were noble without any hint of aggression at all, and his brown curly hair looked like the soft curly fur of a teddy bear.

Halls suddenly felt very angry.

The real little Gladstone seemed to be someone that wasn’t distant to others, and easy to get along with. He was the type that ordinary people loved to communicate with.

Oh.

He even had pink eyes.

Kilia’s mech is pink!

Halls became even angrier. 

At this moment, Henry spoke, his voice trembling, “Your Highness?”

Little Gladstone also felt a sense of oppression and unconsciously lowered his head. 

No, I shouldn’t be angry. Only Kilia is entitled to feel this way, Halls thought unhappily.

“My friend is going to withdraw a sum of money from Meili Bank.” Halls finally voiced out and tapped Henry gently, “Follow me.”

Little Gladstone: “Then I…”

“Stay here and don’t show up for the time being.”

Henry was extremely confused but he still advised little Gladstone on what to do. Little Gladstone also seemed to be good-natured and didn’t have any complaints. He agreed readily.

Upon seeing this scene, Halls’ anger had reached its peak. With a dark expression, he went down from the spacecraft without a single word, Henry following behind with a face full of agony. 

Henry didn’t know the reason behind all this, but any thoughts of investigating the cause were soon thrown out the window. 

He followed Halls, and eight minutes later, he saw a ‘lady’ that was sitting in the VIP section. Oh, a ‘lady’ that was more than 180cm tall. But that wasn’t important, her exceptional beauty was more important.

He had never seen a beauty with such exquisite features in the Limu Empire before.

Perhaps she was a foreigner?

Henry thought blankly as he watched Halls get closer and engage in a talk with her.

“Still haven’t gotten your money?” Halls asked.

“Mn.” Qin Yi nodded nonchalantly while holding a teacup in his hand. He replied, “The handling of large transactions is suspended today due to the arrival of the bank’s heir.” 

Halls felt guilty for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it and said, “This problem will be resolved soon.”

The staff were already scared stiff by then. The royal emblem, plus the crown prince’s signature platinum blond curly hair. Even if his eyes were covered by blood and his face was full of hideous wounds, they all knew… that that should be the crown prince! There’s no mistake!

Others might not recognize him, but how could people from the Capital Star fail to recognize him!

The crown prince even bent down in front of that Beta woman!

Dear god, that was a scene they’d never witnessed before!

How would they dare delay any further? They hurried up to the front and interjected, “Hello, it’s our honor to conduct business with you, is it convenient for you if we start now?”

Qin Yi paused. His eyes revealed a hint of a smile, giving Halls a deep and meaningful stare.

The youth said that ‘it will be resolved soon’, but wasn’t this a bit too quick?

So, who exactly was he for the staff to instantly put on a respectful attitude when they saw him?

Qin Yi wasn’t too caught up with the answer to this question. It was currently more important for him to take his things.

Hence, Qin Yi looked away and nodded while saying to Halls, “Then, I’ll be going first.”

Halls: “Mn.” After replying, he vaguely felt it wasn’t polite enough, so he added, “Okay.” 

Just like that, he watched as Qin Yi walked away. When he turned back, Henry was already wide-eyed and dumbfounded.  

Henry: “S-She’s…”

Halls: “I brought her back.”

“Apologies for my shock, because I’ve never heard that you had a companion around you… Well, are you going to bring her into the palace? His Majesty has just announced your marriage, is it with her? I thought it would be with an Omega. Oh, that’s right, you’ve never liked Omegas…” Henry couldn’t help babbling from his surprise.

Halls cut him off, “Marriage announcement?”

“Yes, don’t you know?”

Halls fell into a brief silence. 

Marriage with who?

He had never thought about it.

If it was with Kilia…

She’s beautiful, smart, knows how to operate a mech, and can give me an energy mine. She saved me and likes my dragon mech… she likes me.

Halls pursed his lips. This feeling was something he had never come close to before, yet it was something that he had suddenly developed a little curiosity and yearning for from today onwards.

Even if her voice was a little manly…

But that doesn’t matter…

Henry watched as Halls fell into a deep silence, before the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a little by little.

He saw the crown prince smile!

It wasn’t an arrogant, contemptuous, or sarcastic smile, but a genuine one…

Qin Yi, who was standing at the private service counter, finally succeeded in getting his inheritance. He then opened several new accounts in the bank and split the 800 million he received into these accounts.

After everything was finished, the staff sent him out respectfully.

He returned to the VIP section again and walked towards Halls at a moderate pace, “I’ve gotten what I want.”

Qin Yi’s smile was dazzling as he thanked Halls, “Thank you.”

Halls’ palms suddenly broke into a sweat. 

“No, you don’t have to thank me.” He said, his voice deep.

He suddenly felt that this was a very suitable opportunity for him to come clean!

There was no throne here and the ministers were nowhere in sight.

There was only Kilia in front of him. Kilia, who was emitting a sweet-smelling fragrance.

He squeezed his voice out, “…What if I told you now that I lied to you. That …I’m not the heir of the Meili Bank…”

Henry was deeply shocked.

Dear god, why would the dignified crown prince pretend to be the heir of Meili Bank?

No wonder! It’s no wonder why he wanted to detain little Gladstone!

Henry turned around abruptly, only to see the Beta lady looking shocked before saying gently, “It’s okay.”

Halls’ eyelids twitched. He didn’t know why his palms got even sweatier. 

She doesn’t care.

She still doesn’t care, after all…

Even if I didn’t have a rich identity or a noble status.

Halls pursed his lips once more before asking, “I’m going home now. Are you willing to come home with me?”

Qin Yi was surprised, “With what identity?”

A friend?

No.

Maybe I should try telling my father first, that I don’t care about that Omega anymore. If I have to get married, maybe I can try it with Kilia…

Halls said decisively, “Follow me, and they’ll receive you as an honored guest.”

He wanted to bring her home and take her into the palace. She would then understand everything.

On the other hand, Qin Yi was already trying to figure out the real identity of the other party.

To prevent more unforeseen events from happening, Qin Yi rejected him tactfully, “You should head home and see your family first. I still have things to do and after finishing them, I’ll visit if your family is willing to accept it. That way, it will be more polite.”

Halls paused. He respected the wishes of the ‘lady’. 

Yes, perhaps that would be more serious, Halls thought. Besides, he did have a lot of urgent government affairs to deal with.

Only at this moment did Henry finish making up his version of the story. In the pursuit of a civilian Beta, the crown prince had to lower his status so as not to scare the other party away.

This simply sounded too inconceivable, but he thought this was the most reasonable story!

Henry wanted to make a good impression, so he quickly volunteered, “I’ll arrange Ms. Kilia’s temporary residence, don’t worry.”

Halls gave him a cold look before nodding.

Qin Yi smiled, “Bye-bye.”

Halls’ eyes unconsciously lingered on her smile for a few more seconds before finally turning to leave.

But if he and Henry paid a little more attention, they would be able to tell that Qin Yi was looking forward to him leaving.

At this moment, Henry turned and asked Qin Yi respectfully, “I’ll take you to the Pearl Hotel, what do you think?”

Qin Yi tilted his head and replied with a smile, “Sure. That’s the best hotel in the Limu Empire, isn’t it? Sorry for the trouble then.”

“No, no trouble.” Henry’s tone unconsciously relaxed.

He thought, who would be wary of such a gentle beauty?

Until five hours later. 

Henry reported to Halls in a shaking voice, “Ms. Kilia, she, she’s missing!”

“What did you say?!”

I still haven’t told her my real identity!

Would she mistake little Gladstone for me!

Just thinking about this, the crown prince already felt like killing little Gladstone.

At this moment, an attendant came in to report, “Your Highness, General Zhou Yiqing has returned to the Capital Star and he wants to see you…”

Halls looked back gloomily, “No. Not now.”

His brain was filled with information all of a sudden, but he finally managed to come up with a plan after calming down.

He said in a low voice, “Send someone to get the surveillance footage immediately and look for her along the way. If there’s still no information within half an hour, announce to the Limu Empire instantly that… I’m looking for someone called Kilia. She’s…”

He was momentarily at a loss.

She wasn’t anyone to me.

Half a minute later, the attendant hurriedly ran out with the crown prince’s imperial edict.

In this very world, Lu Ji and Zhou Yiqing were standing in the palace garden. 

Lu Xing couldn’t help but sigh, “Who knew that we would unexpectedly be standing openly in this kind of place one day!”

This was very un-pirate like!

Lu Ji didn’t speak.

Zhou Yiqing said lightly, “The entirety of Beiman Star is looking for him, but he was able to successfully leave after leaving a message… I heard that during that period, the crown prince of the Limu Empire stayed at Beiman for a short while. If we had to take the whole Star into account, whose spacecraft could simply leave without questioning.”

Lu Ji answered coldly, “That could only be the crown prince’s spacecraft, without a doubt.”

The emperor had just returned from outside just then and was on his way to meet his son. He stopped the attendant at the water fountain, “What’s the hurry?”

The attendant was out of breath, “Your Majesty, His Highness is looking for someone called Kilia and said that they must be found immediately, without delay.”

Lu Xing: “…?”

Lu Xing: “Boss, someone is looking for you?”

The attendant immediately turned around and their gazes met.

In the next moment, the attendant turned and ran away, “Your Highness! Your Highness! There’s a Kilia here!”

Lu Ji, however, narrowed his eyes.

He felt that… somehow… there was something wrong amid all this…

Less than three minutes later, the noble and haughty crown prince came to them with quick steps, his cape lifting into a curve.

“Kilia…!” The crown prince’s voice slowly changed from joy to surprise.
