Heero did not give his answer and looked at Gerard in the eyes. The Crown Prince's eyes were firm and earnest.
The prince was not joking with his words. He asked whether Heero wanted to be part of the kingdom.
After a mont of silence, Heero smiled, "Haha, I don't have the plan to leave Star City at the mont, "
Gerard William Kingsman nodded, "I see" from the expression, he was clearly disappointed with the reply, though he had expected such a result.
"I heard from Benjamin you can cure the mutation?" The prince cleverly changed the topic.
"Yes, I have a way to cure the light mutation, but not for the severe mutation. It will take a long ti to cure the severe mutation, " Heero played along. It would be awkward if they continued with the beforehand topic.
Gerard's face brightened up at the confirmation, "Can you help us to cure the mutants? We tried multiple ways and years of research, trying to find the cure but to no avail. Can you help the kingdom to cure the mutants?"
"I can and I will help but" Heero did not know how to continue. He ca here under his invitation to attend his wedding while taking this chance for his honeymoon trip. However, the prince seed to make him work.
Surely, the Crown Prince was quite good to put him in an awkward position. If he refused to help, it appeared like a cold-blooded one, but if he had to help, he would be sacrificing his ti with his family.
Gerard was putting him into a tough situation.
"But?" Gerard asked, but soon he realized sothing.
"Ah, right, you are on your honeymoon break. How silly and inconsiderate of , making you work on your break, "
The prince nodded and continued, "Let's talk about the mutants on other days. They have waited for years, a few more weeks or months should not be a problem for them, "
Then, both continued to chat, mostly, they were talking about Benjamin. The Crown Prince was asking his brother's progress with care.
Just like that, Heero spent fifteen minutes having a chat with the Crown Prince.
Gerard stood up and bowed toward Heero, "Please take care of my little brother, "
Then, Gerard and Alexa sent the guests off together. Heero was delivered by the sa limousine.
Alexa was waving her hand to the other girls. It seed the fifteen minutes they spent together made them grow closer.
"How is it?" Alexa asked her fiance.
"You already know the answer, " The Crown Prince shook his head in regret.
"Then stop playing tricks with them! You have to stop your mother to do silly things as well. It will be best if we don't offend them!" Alexa advised in a solemn tone.
But Gerard only glanced at his woman innocently.
"You can't hide it from , Gerard. You know what your mother will do to them, but you just let it happen this morning's incident! You were using your mother to test him!"
"As expected of my wife, I can't hide anything from your eyes, " Gerard smiled at the girl.
"But why do you seem afraid of him? The kingdom fears nothing!"
Alexa shook her head, "If you want to maintain or develop our relationship with Star City further, then he is the key! But if you offend, our relationship with Star City will be ruined!"
"Hoo A man can make that happen?" Gerard looked at his fiance dubiously.
"Hah You are underestimating him too much! His two disciples are Emperor Class Heroes, his wife also Emperor Class Hero, he is the Bai Family's son-in-law, Grandmaster Instructor Kang Myung-Chul also his in-law, the one in charge of Blacksmith Association also his disciple, Supre Moon also shows his support to him, and he himself a Chief Instructor! Basically, Star City is backing him up!"
Alexa ntioned every information she had.
Gerard was surprised, but then he smiled again, "You have done your howork! And you were right, it seems I underestimate that man's power!"
"But don't worry, I don't have any plan to offend him or play any tricks on them!" The Crown Prince ssed up Alexa's hair.
"Then let's pay the mother a visit, "

"It seems we are wrong about the Crown Prince, " Hong Yu whispered to Heero.
"About what?" Heero asked back.
"About this morning incident, it was not him, but the Queen!"
"Huh!? How did you know it was not him?"
"Alexa told " Hong Yu got closer to Heero and whispered, "She said the Queen is overprotective to her son. She tends to act over the line, "
"Heh Indeed, he was not the culprit, but do you believe if he did not know what happened to us back at the airport?" Heero smiled mysteriously to his wife.
Hong Yu paused, loading more information into her mind.
"He knew, but he did not try to stop his mother. Do you think he was still as innocent as you thought?"
Hong Yu went with "ah!".
"He used his mother to probe us or to be more exact, but I don't know what he wants from , " Heero shrugged.
As long as the Crown Prince did not have the ill intention to him and his family. He was fine with that.
"You are too naive, " Heero touched Hong Yu's nose and looked at the kids, "Where are we going now?"
"Regal Square!!!" Miao Miao, Lan Lan, and Myung-Hee replied in unison.

To the north of Desolate Fort
"Hah Hah Hah" Sun Zhou Yi was breathing heavily while sprawling on the pit. Blood flowed out of his corner mouth and he was still in a shocking state.
His eyes were wide open while looking up to the bright sky. He was defeated, for the first ti since the day he beca Heero's disciple, this was the first ti he suffered an overwhelming defeat.
When he fought against the Wyvern King, he might lose back then, but he fought well. But this ti, he lost without knowing how his enemy knocked him down.
Only his Master who could knock him down in such a way.
"Does that an that goat is the sa level as my Master" Sun Zhou Yi could not help but think this way.
His thoughts went wild with the crushing defeat he suffered. But then, a calm voice interrupted his wild imagination.
"Are you okay?" From the voice, Sun Zhou Yi could tell Musashi Hirata was concerned about him.
"I don't know if a few cracks on my ribs are okay, " Out of the blue, Sun Zhou Yi smiled.
"You still can crack a joke in this state?" Musashi Hirata rolled his eyes at Sun Zhou Yi.
"Get up! We have to go back to the fort! If that goat creature heads there"
There was no need for Musashi Hirata to finish his sentence, Sun Zhou Yi realized the fort was in grave danger.
Despite the pain on his chest, he stood up. Then, the two n headed back to the fort. They rushed at maximum speed.
"Hah Hah It seems the fort is fine" Sun Zhou Yi said as he stopped a few hundred ters away from the north gate.
The fort was fine, the battle against the raid of goat-headed specters had ended.
Sun Zhou Yi laid down on the ground, stabilizing his breath while suppressing the acute pain on his chest.
"What do you think about that goat head?" Out of the blue, he asked Musashi Hirata.
"Strong, but still far below our Master!" Musashi Hirata replied confidently as he sat next to Sun Zhou Yi.
"That so? We were defeated by that goat head, does it an we are still far far and far below Master?"
It was an open secret between Heero's disciples that they would work together and defeat their Master.
"Of course! Master said it took him years to reach his current strength. How long have you been learning under Master's guidance? A year?"
Hearing that, Sun Zhou Yi fell silent. That was right, this was his first year, and here he was thinking about defeating his Master. He realized that he was being arrogant in a way.
Suddenly, Sun Zhou Yi felt a burning sensation in his chest. It was not the pain from his wound, it was a burning desire, desire to get stronger.
Without caring for his injuries, he jumped up, "Let's pack up! Our task here is over! I have been slacking lately, I want to go back and continue my training! You have to accompany for a spar, Hirata!"
After saying that, Sun Zhou Yi walked back to the fort.
Musashi Hirata smiled at Sun Zhou Yi's words. In fact, he also felt the sa as Sun Zhou Yi. After the crushing defeat against the got head, evoking his desire to get even stronger.
He stood up and followed Sun Zhou Yi.
