The entire hall went silent. It was as if a certain spirit passed by and no one spoke or moved for a long while. Every gossiper’s mouth was shut closed and their eyes went wide because of what they heard. Was this the reason why the great Chen Seiji appeared here tonight? Was this the reason why Miss Davi only ca back now?
Everyone could only ask in their minds and just as they thought that this was indeed the greatest surprise for the night, the huge entrance doors once again opened and an old man entered.
Footsteps could be heard so one by one, the people slowly averted their gaze away from Sei and turned towards the door. Even old man Mizuhara was so surprised in seeing the person closing in on them that he too remained silent and unmoving.
The person that walked through the doors was soone that everyone in the room recognized imdiately. It may have been years since the monarchy ruled this country but when he did rule, he was constantly under the public eye as part of his role. Therefore, even though it had been a long ti since this face had graced the dia and newspapers, there was no doubt in everyone’s mind that the man standing before them was none other than the last king of Country J.
Just then, it was little Shin who imdiately broke the silence first.
"Great grandpa, over here." He said and the entire crowd finally snapped out of their daze. Their eyes which were filled with shock were replaced with an even greater shock and disbelief. They looked like they just heard an earthshattering truth.
"T-that’s the King.... The king ca!"
"What’s the aning of this?"
"Why was Miss Davi’s child calling the king his ’great grandfather’?"
"Don’t tell it’s because... it’s because this Chen Seiji is the king’s grandson?!"
"Oh gosh! What the hell’s this? This is way too unbelievable."
"Is this god our rumored mysterious prince whose existence was never confird?"
"So the existence of our prince is really real all along?"
"That’s the only explanation to make all of this make sense."
"Oh my god, I actually can’t believe this! I thought it was just a baseless rumor all these years!"
"You’re not the only one. Every person of country J believed that the reason our king demolished the monarchy was because of the absence of an heir to the throne!"
"What’s with all these surprises tonight? I can’t process them all at once!"
While the people whispered to each other, old man Mizuhara finally moved and he quickly went and approached the king who finally stopped close to them.
"Oh my, Sire. You really caught by surprise." Old man Mizuhara said but the forr king simply laughed gracefully.
"That’s good. I ant to surprise all of you here all along." He said and old man Mizuhara also joined him, as they both laughed like best friends who were separated and just t again after so many years.
"You’re still a tease as usual, my king." Old man Mizuhara replied when the forr king waved his hand.
"I’m just a forr king now so drop the formalities and protocols. Anyway, I ca here so I could accompany my grandson." The forr king confird the obvious fact that was running around in everyone’s mind at that very mont.
"My King, you an, Mr. Chen is the prince?!" old man Mizuhara exclaid and his extrely surprised look amused the forr king even more.
"Yes, this man here is my flesh and blood. I apologize for hiding this from all to you but there were reasons for all these." The forr king explained and everyone reverted their gazes back to Sei with wide eyes.
