Chapter 187 What It Means To Be A King After The Apocalypse[3]
Perhaps because the settlement's structure and construction were still in their early stages, there wasn't much difference between it and the buildings scattered around.
Apart from the warehouse, public bath room, and some other structures, buildings like mostly the wooden houses had the same appearance, but even with all of this, there was one building that was vastly different from the others and even before one could enter it, one still needed to pass through the mini fenced gate for entry, and this building was where Miss Emilia and Caleb were headed.
It was a building that was larger, bigger, and appeared to be more carefully constructed than the other buildings scattered around.
Looking through the slightly larger gate and seeing another two guards on both sides of the gate, Caleb was about to stop and show them the pendant on his neck as identification, but when he saw Miss Emilia didn't bother greeting or stopping to do the same and just passed through the gates, he tried to do the same and was surprised to be allowed entry.
Caleb began to wonder if the king's security was becoming lax, but just as this thought entered his mind, he did a facepalm when he remembered that the woman he was addressing here was the king's attendant.
When this happened, Chris began to suspect that he was becoming too nervous to even ignore common sense.
The king's attendant role may not seem like much, but it still belongs to the person who is closest to the king, so this trust was one of the things that could be given to her.
Perhaps it was the heat, but Chris became quite sweaty as they approached the building that lay in the center of the fence they had just entered, which also housed the king.
Caleb should have been excited and nervous like the first time he came to see the king, but when he remembered the hiccup in his plans, he sweated even more.
He was nervous, but for a completely different reason.
After all, he hadn't missed the grade of the item whose condition was currently unknown in the earth rats den.
Caleb only came out of his thoughts when he finally entered the building, as countless thoughts flashed through his mind as he continued to follow Miss Emilia towards the large building that lay in front of him.
Although the wooden building in the style of a house appeared to be a little large and grand on the outside, it was quite the mirror image on the inside.
If the current interior of the wooden building could be seen as the owner taking a traditional taste, the interior of the building did not lose to the houses before the apocalypse and in fact the interior of the house surpassed some of the building interiors back in the old world before the apocalypse.
Miss Emilia turned to stop a maid who was about to pass her after greeting her after taking a few more steps forward after entering the building.
Yes, maids existed in this world.
Someone apparently decided that maids should not be discarded.
He was either a pervert who was well-liked by most men or a fanatic who didn't want his king to be bothered in the least.
"Where has the king gone?" After responding to the maid's greeting, she inquired.
"He's in the dinner room," the maid said, and when Miss Emilia heard this, she dismissed the maid, who immediately left after bowing.
Miss Emilia turned to face Caleb behind her and politely asked him to follow her, to which Caleb quickly nodded and followed her as soon as she began moving.
Despite the care and attention that was lavished on the building, the interior was still simple and not complex in the sense that it didn't take them more than a dozen turns before they appeared in a room with a dining room setting.
A long table was in the center of the room, and at the very front of the table was a man in his late forties, and beside him was a woman in her mid forties.
They were currently the only two sitting on the chairs that surrounded the table and eating.
Around them were several maids dressed in medieval garb, and behind the man who was seated and eating were two strong looking men in armour standing straight as bodyguards and emitting a very strong aura, but the pressure they emitted paled in comparison to the kind looking man who was eating.
In fact, the pressure he was releasing was the reason the room was dead silent when Caleb arrived, and the only person who dared to speak was the relatively older woman who was currently eating gracefully beside the man.
Chris, who was already nervous before coming here, became even more nervous as a result of the atmosphere.
It would have been better if it was only the older man and woman who were alone in the dinning room but unfortunately there just had to be a lot of people gathered here much, adding to the pressure he felt.
Caleb and Miss Emilia beside him turned to bow with their upper bodies lowered and spoke, taking a look at the man in front of them who took a second to stop eating and turned to look at newcomers.
"My king"
