9 Throne Room

"Hoho… Father actually called out for Big Brother Alex as well huh. He shouldn't have trouble Big Brother Alex for this matter, the result is pretty clear." The mocking words of Washington left his mouth so as to embarrass Alex.

The words were ruthless as they clearly targeted his ability to not being able to cultivate, something which wasn't his fault. But this clearly didn't stop him from sprinkling salt on the open wound.

It would have worked on Alex if he was in a bad mood as it was indeed something about which he cared very much, he also wanted to get stronger and have the strength to protect himself.

This was the reason he was doing the ritual, the ritual to rebuild his Spiritual Origin, there was also a chance that he would gain the Death God's Divine Origin and he bet his life on that.

Regretfully, he met up with Adam and had to fight it out, this caused him to lose everything to Adam, it was unknown whether the body had a Spiritual Origin or not for now. But he would find it out when he had some free time.

Adam did hear Washington's words and it was unlike of him to stay quiet when he was being mocked, he retorted without any mercy as well, "Says the person who thinks he has any chance."

Washington's eye twitched in anger from Adam's rebuttal, this was a delicate subject for him, so it's obvious that he would get really angry if he was insulted like that. However, he didn't lose his calm and answered back. "You are jealous because you are unable to cultivate like everyone else…"

But Alex didn't looked shaken at all, and just told him with a tone that suggested that he was talking about the weather of today, "I'm still not that desperate to be jealous of you."

That sentence pierced right through Washington's chest like a sniper's bullet, he realized what Alex meant with that sentence, as if telling him that he was a useless person even with his cultivating talent.

And there's a bit of truth on that sentence, the truth of that matter was because he had a Lower Level Spiritual Origin, so his talent was tinsy bit greater than the mortal men who only had a Mortal Origin.

Even then, his talent was nothing but a drop of water in the whole ocean, his own Eldest Brother, Leonardo Vermillion had a Peak Level Heavenly Origin. In front of this talent, Washington's talent was indeed something not worth mentioning.

Washington's white coloured face changed to tomato Red Colour, it could easily be guessed that he was very angered, he was on the brink of flaring up and attacking Adam in the hall then and there.

Before the matter was escalated quickly, Leonardo raised his hands and ordered them, "Stop now, it isn't appropriate to fight before meeting up with father. His health isn't as good as it was in his prime. It would be a disaster if he suddenly dies."

It was difficult to guess whom he would favour in a fight between the 3rd Prince Alex and the 4th Prince Washington but if he could, he would have tried to eliminate the 3rd Prince Alex before he could develop further.

The reason was simple, he recognized his brother's intelligence, his intelligence was certainly the greatest in the Kingdom, and it was not an exaggeration. There were scholars like Norman from one of the strongest clans under their hand in the Versailles Kingdom.

They were able to make poetry in seconds, art… But they were still far from Adam, since he was unable to cultivate, he was more concentrated on the knowledge coming from the Royal Library and the travelers' experience.

And if the things he didn't understand, he would grab hold of books, read them again and again until he started to understand the part where he was confused, he could get what it talked about with the new-found knowledge.

Unberknowstly to everyone else except Adam, now his intelligence increased to another entire level thanks to the knowledge gained from the Modern World, how to make guns, bombs, how muscles works, the different chemistry reactions, the laws of Physics everything was perfectly synchronizing in his head…

It was everything inside his head, modern and ancient knowledge, they combined together to bring forth new combinations.

Adam and Washington looked at Leonardo for a moment before Washington clicked his tongue as he let out a 'tch' at being beaten in the battle of words once again.

Adam was inwardly speaking 'You idiot, I come from the modern world. I know people whose mind works in these kinds of things, even in the server, Paragon would have fucking destroyed him if he ever met this retard.'

if these words could be heard by Washington, it was unknown if he wouldn't just cough up blood and die already. He thought that he suffered enough humiliation in that chit-chat but here Adam was thinking that the humiliation hadn't even begun yet.

It was a good thing that he kept those thoughts to himself otherwise observing the temperament of the Prince, it was easy to anticipate that he would forget all norms of custom and rush attack Adam.

Leonardo and Louis silently nodded as they turned towards the left side, it perplexed Adam as he didn't see anything other than a wall, evidently it had some paintings on it. The paintings of the different Kings, a war-scene beautifully depicted by the artist.

It was absolute refreshing to perceive them with his grey eyes which were contemplating as to the reason why both Leonardo and Louis were staring at this wall.

They stepped forwards with their footsteps making a strange sound, this startled Adam, it was because in front of him, he saw a strange mechanism, the wall started to split into different pieces as it opened up the way for them.

As soon as sunlight entered the room, a bright light was reflected back from the room as it touched Adam's eyes causing him to cover his eyes. It wasn't just Adam, his brothers also covered their eyes as their eyes couldn't get used to such a bright golden light being reflected from within.

All of them opened their eyes as they glanced inside the Throne room, it wasn't the first time they were entering it but they still couldn't get used to this. It was because the Throne room was exaggeratedly decorated and made with the most expensive, beautiful as well as shiny materials.

From minute examination, the reflection occured due to the presence of elements similar to gold and platinum in the Throne room. Adam internally whistled as this sort of architecture, this scene, it was impossible to ever witness such a thing on Earth.

He calmed down his emotions as he stepped forwards and following his brothers into the Throne room. After entering the Throne room, his eyes fell on the man sitting atop the Throne.

He had white hair that stretched to his shoulders, his broad shoulders that seemed to lack any real strength within them, wrinkles on his face that spoke volumes of his age.

This was the King of Versailles, Brian Vermillion, the 8th King to ascend to the throne of Versailles. He had 8 sons and 7 daughters, all of them qualified to be rulers and city destroying beauties.
