'Vrrrrrrrmmmmmm!

Landon and the rest steadily made their way towards Baymard in a very chilled manner.

They were utterly shocked by the fact that they had travelled a 4-and-a-half month journey in a matter of days.

Even William couldn't help but marvel as well.

Previously, he had speculated that it would take a full month to get here.

But who would've known that the results would even be more shocking than they already were?

No wonder people called these carriages heaven-defying

With how much distance they had covered in this short period, how could he not be amazed when he had been informed that they had already passed Riverdale city?

Heck!

Even the prisoners were shocked as well.

Connor, Eli, and their aides and Captains felt like it was almost too good to be true.

No wonder Landon could travel all the way there in such a short time.

And here they thought that Landon had followed them out of Baymard... When last they came.

After finally arriving, Landon settled the matters concerning the prisoners before taking his guests to the palace.

.,

"Your majesty!

Welcome back!"

"Welcome back your majesty!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

Stepping into the palace, everyone who saw Landon bowed in respect and greeted him merrily.

Their king was finally back!

Of course, Mona and her family also observed how much these people truly adored the brat before them.

"Secretary Brian... Please send word for King-Father Lucius to see me urgently."

"As you wish your majesty." Brian replied.

And within the next 25 minutes, Lucius had arrived.

"Brat!

You wanted to see me?"

Lucius entered Landon's office full of vigour.

He had no idea who Landon had gone to save, but since he was back... Then didn't that mean that their mission had been a successful one?

Lucius calmly greeted those within the office and sat down close to Landon.

Mona and the rest had already disguised themselves... So Lucius truly couldn't make them out.

Landon immediately showed them to the bathroom under Lucius' confused stare..... And when they came out, Lucius was so shocked that he fell to his knees before Oden.

'Plup!'

"Young master... You're alive!" Lucius said with watery eyes.

Lucius felt like a series of explosions had gone off in his mind.

He felt like an invisible weight had been lifted from his shoulders when he saw Oden.

Only the heavens know how devasted he had been when he returned from war only to hear that his young master was dead.

He wanted to run, shout and scream to before world that his young master was alive and well.

He felt giddy with excitement, as his brain tingled with joy.

'Hahahhahahahahhaha!'

He was both laughing and crying at the same time.

His young master was alive!

This was Arcadina's real king..... And not that fake, Alec Barn!

"Young master... It's good that you're alive!" Lucius said merrily.

"Lucius... I'm no longer a young master, alright?

So just call me Oden."

"My lord!

How can that be?

You will always be a young master in this one's eyes... So how can I dare to call you by your name?"

Oden helplessly sighed, as he looked at Lucius who was shaking his head like a chicken and denying his requests.

How could an old man like him be called 'young master'?

Wasn't that just too embarrassing?

What would his men say if they heard it?

But at the same time, he couldn't blame Lucius as well... After all, the man was just truly happy that he was alive.

.

In his youth, Lucius had been under him... And had even taken over battles under his name whenever his father requested for troops to fight wars.

Lucius was one of his most loyal Commanders... And was also a good friend to him as well.

"Lucius... You are now Baymard's father king, and no longer my subordinate.

So please get up and do not kneel before me again."

"Yes, young master" Lucius said before finally rising and looking at Oden in admiration and confusion.

"Young master... Why didn't you inform me all these years that you were alive?

Did you not want me as your subordinate any more?"

"Of course not!

Lucius, I had planned to tell you after I fully stabilized myself.

You see, it took me 3 years to properly heal up... And by the time I had planned on informing you, I realized that it would be meaningless for me to do so."

"Young master, what do you mean?" Lucius asked in confusion.

"Lucius....at that time, I realized that you were already deep in love.

So if I took you away from your woman all these years, wouldn't I be cruel to do so?"

"_"

Lucius smiled awkwardly at Oden because at that time, he wouldn't have left Mother Kim's side... Even if the ancestors themselves descended from the heavens and commanded it.

Mona and the rest watched the duo converse with each other as if they were all alone in their own little world.

'Eh-ehmmm!'

Mona coughed lightly and brought them back to reality.

Lucius focused on her was immediately recognized her as well

Can't she Mina Ferris... His young master's fiancee?

"Young mistress!... Welcome back as well."

"Lucius... Your still the same as ever.

But how can you shamelessly call me 'young mistress'?

Look here, Lucius... We are husband and wife, and we have a son." Mona said awkwardly.

Lucius' eyes lit up when he saw William.

Indeed, he was the exact copy of Oden when he was younger.

"Welcome too younger Master!"

"Uncle, there's no need for all of this.

Since Landon is my cousin and sworn brother, then shouldn't we drop all the formalities?"

"Yes... You're right younger master."

(-_-)

.

Landon, William and the rest talked a bit more, before finally getting them face masks... Since they had already washed away their disguises.

And so with everything out of the way, Landon allowed William to handle their lodging here.

Since this William had already been here previously, it was somewhat easy for him to aid his family in navigating through Baymard.

Of course, Lucius wanted to settle everything for them, but since abandon had already decided that they would stay here undercover... It wouldn't be wise for Lucius to do so.

So they stayed within District H, which was meant for visitors, guests and non-Baymardians.

From there, they went about trying to familiarize themselves might with Baymard.

Even William was shocked by the new products that had hit the market again.

And as expected, they were so marvelled by what they saw... Especially photos.

They also booked dates to go to the zoo, Museum, ski resort and so on.

In short, they had all concluded that Baynard was indeed a place of magic.

.

But of course, while they were enjoying themselves... Landon on the other hand, rushed towards District D like crazy.

"Your majesty... They're ready!

All scheduled movies and T.V series have finally been completed!"
