Lord of the Truth - Chapter 133: You Want What?!

Chapter 133: You Want What?!

"Prince William? I've heard of him before, he is an intelligent, strong person of great stature among the Royals, hmmm.. alright, I'll go meet him after a moment, you may leave." Robin spoke and signaled to the young man to go back to where he came from, then entered his house again, brought with him a thick scroll then moved with q quick pace towards the patriarch's office

The guards did not stop Robin from entering the building, they just gave a bow as he moved straight inside and found the office room open. 

Inside, the Patriarch was sitting on the sofa and not at his desk as usual, and in front of him is a middle-aged person who looks very handsome and dignified, and it is clear that he is very strong, with one look at him Robin knew that this was William Marley.

With them is a politely seated handsome young man who appears to be in his twenties, at the tenth level of the Energy Foundation, this was the first time he had seen this person,

Robin stopped thinking about it and nodded, "Huh, Your Highness is personally here? that is too much, if you needed to see this little one why didn't you summon me to the capital… AH! Please sit down, Your Highness!"

William stood and the young man sitting next to him stood up with him the moment Robin entered and opened his mouth, then William spoke with a big smile, "Haha How can I set down when you are entering the room? If you don't deserve at least this little amount of respect, then who does?… So you are Robin Burton, I was shocked when Uncle Albert told us about you, you look much younger than I imagined, and your bone age is…" when he came down to this part he quickly changed the subject, " Ahem, I almost forgot, I want to introduce you to my little brother Alfred."

the young man beside him, Alfred, took two steps and bowed slightly toward Robin without saying a word

The patriarch was starting to sweat, Robin himself was shocked by what was going on around him, especially from that bow, and took a step back quickly waving his hand, "Hey hey please stop this you are scaring me here, this little one doesn't deserve such treatment, please go back to your seats."

"Haha, you really are a humble young man." William laughed, then he and Alfred returned to their seat.

He knew Robin's real age, of course, but he was still a young man in his eyes.

Robin came forward and took a seat beside the patriarch, then asked, "Can I ask why two princes are honored us the Burtons to the point of visiting us today? I see that sage Albert decided to tell you about my identity, You didn't come just to take the law keys, right? Does this have anything to do with what happened with the idiot who came to get the keys last time?"

Robin was not comfortable about this, he was not comfortable with anything related to the Royal family actually…

He has some confidence dealing with the Bradleys before and the Burtons now, but the Royals… he is like a little mouse in front of them.

he succeeded in putting a show in front of sage Albert using the sound talisman and acting as if he was fearless in front of death 

That made Sage Albert appreciate his future and even protect him for now, but if he ever changed his mind… Robin's life is literally in the hands of the Royals, a single decision could end him and he hated that

and the thing is.. he is not as fearless in front of death as before.

seeing the fruits of his work slowly change the world around him has become too appealing for him, he has already found a reason to keep on struggling to live another day, but he himself didn't know off…

As for the matter of today, the royal family is known to be cold towards everyone even the Dukes themselves, just his little meeting with Sage Albert was considered a great honor in their point of view… 

but now two princes came together to his doorsteps… 

even if they were showing him apparent respect, it is still scary… the only thing he can do now is to behave humbly and pray that they came in good.

William smiled lightly, "Actually we didn't really come for the keys, we just happened to need you for something a few weeks ago, and my Uncle Albert told us to wait and come at the beginning of the new year so we would not disturb your research twice."

"You needed me for something..? And what can I do for the Royal Family, Your Highness?" an ugly smile took place on Robin's face

William extended his hand and put it behind the back of Alfred who was sitting next to him, "My little brother here was about to form his Knighthood pillars, when my uncle found out about this he ordered him to stop and summoned us both, and he told us about you… 

Honestly, we are here to get your opinion on the subject of my little brother's breaking through to the knighthood realm, Do you think it's the most appropriate thing he can do?"

Robin couldn't stop himself from swallowing his saliva with a loud voice, that's what he was afraid of the most…

William's little speech was not direct and malice hovering around it, but it was clear enough… 

they are here to take a law technique for Alfred to make his Knighthood pillars with, and that law has to be stronger than the one that the royal family use… 

the Royal family minor law is the third stage, it is one of the eight strongest minor laws in this world!!

"Ahahaha, who am I to give my opinion in something like that? But if you want my humble opinion, I see that the young prince has solid foundations and he can attempt to build his pillars whenever he likes." Robin laughed strangely

William smiled and removed his hand behind his brother, "The whole kingdom has heard a lot about Caesar's white flame, and we in the royal family have followed his news closely, and we are hearing even more about it after he broke through to Knighthood and his strength reached a remarkable level for a knight at the 11th level… that flame It's not a normal energy attack technique, it is a law cultivations technique right?"

Finally, the patriarch also understood what was happening as well and started pouring out a cold sweat…

Even Robin's smile became much uglier, "It might be.. it might be not.. do you have something you would like to say, Your Highness?" 

A few seconds of heavy silence took place after this question, during which William did not take his eyes off Robin…

Then he burst out laughing, "Haha relax my little friend, my uncle didn't pressure you to submit the Runes Draqing techniques when he had the chance which already shows to you how much we respect you, do you think we're here to pressure you to submit a minor law technique that is most likely still at Its first stage? Calm down.. we are here to know the possibility, and the price you want for it if it is possible. "

Robin nodded incessantly, "… What a nice speech, you really are a great diplomat… but you wouldn't simply leave if I told you I wouldn't sell, would you?"

Prince William's smile disappeared, "But you won't say no, right? You already handed us a key for a minor law technique and even a ready-made minor law technique last year, why don't you do it again? We can pay extra for this one…"

Robin rubbed his forehead, as he expected.. they didn't come with the intention of accepting a NO for an answer..the only good thing about it is that they think Caesar's technique is a minor heavenly law's.

After about a minute of silence, Robin calmed down and said to Prince William, "My adopted sons' techniques will always be mine alone and it's impossible for me to hand them over, even if it's the royal family." Robin didn't wait for Prince William's reaction and continued, "But if you wanted it for Your Highness Prince Alfred alone, there is room for further talk…"

"Keep talking then…" William replied with furrowed brows

"Oath tablets are being sold at our auction house for a few months now, you must have heard of them? I need a little oath from the Little Prince and the technique will be his." Robin replied with a smile

"Oh?" Prince William smiled, "You want the Prince of the Black Sun Kingdom to put his hand on a tablet and swear upon it to take a minor heavenly law cultivation technique?"

"This is the bare minimum at which I can give away the technique to anyone who is not a direct subordinate to me, Your brother must swear to never leak the technique, not even its name to anyone, and not to use it against someone who belongs to the Burton family without my permission, in addition to this you must pay 10 million gold coins…. Approval or rejection in your hands."
