Chapter 219 – Make Bill Fall In Love With You (1)

A few days later, the Empire announced that Bill was about to marry a princess. The wedding date was set to be in two months. At that time, there would be a celebration in the royal city for the citizens to enjoy.

Under Becky’s instructions, this news spread to the streets and alleys of the capital, causing the residents of the capital to discuss fervently.

There had long been rumors of a marriage alliance, but there were many opinions about the candidates. Some felt that it would be a random woman from the royal family, while others felt that it would be the “Royal Blade”, the old woman Irene. Only now did they find out that the marriage alliance was with the princess. This was something many people had not guessed.

This was because although King Becky had many children, a total of nine of them, most of them were men. He only had three daughters, and most of them had twisted fates.

The eldest daughter had married, but died in childbirth. The second daughter was strong and was nurtured to be a Mutant Blood Warrior. Unfortunately, she died suddenly after taking the blood potion. Only the youngest daughter, Shuni, was alive and accompanying Becky. She was very doted on.

In an era where there was a lack of entertainment, the power class was the best gossip channel. Countless people had a natural curiosity and desire to pry into the private life of the mysterious palace. The topic of discussion was very popular, especially among the residents of the capital who were closest to the palace. Be it rich craftsmen or the poor people living on the streets, they all loved gossip about the royalty.

Many residents of the capital had always thought that Princess Shuni would marry into another tribe, but they did not expect her to be betrothed to Master Bill instead.

Although Bill was not a blood relative of the tribe, his potion results would result in the lives of the people of the Empire being safer. Although most people were surprised, on second thought, they felt that this was a suitable marriage. Bill was worthy of the royal family.

The princess had a noble status, and Master Bill was talented. Weren’t they a match made in heaven?

Moreover, considering Master Bill’s skills, their married life would be quite harmonious.

Bill’s reputation was extremely high now, and the residents of the capital could not help but be happy about their marriage. They looked forward to the celebration of the entire city on their wedding day.

Inside the Golden Castle, when the court officials heard the news, there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate Bill.

......

Zhou Jing received the guests one by one. As long as someone congratulated him, he would show his anticipation and yearning for this marriage, showing his harmless attitude. He was an experienced actor.

Two months later, the day before the wedding banquet, in the afternoon.

There were servants running around in the Golden Castle. The venue for the palace wedding had already been set up in advance.

In the garden, Zhou Jing and Becky were walking side by side, chatting and laughing.

“Master Bill, tomorrow is your wedding day. Don’t research your potions tonight. Rest and recuperate.”

Becky was in a good mood and laughed.

“I’ll listen to His Majesty.” Zhou Jing smiled, “Speaking of which, why haven’t I seen Her Highness recently?”

“Haha, she’s deliberately hiding. She’s too embarrassed to see you. You’ll see her tomorrow.”

Becky waved his hand dismissively.

Zhou Jing casually said an expectant polite sentence. Then, he turned to look at the two guards following closely behind him. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Your Majesty, Hudd and Lake have been protecting me these past few days. They’ve worked hard. However, I’m very safe in the Golden Castle. It’s quite awkward for me to keep letting them follow me. Can you ask them not to follow me all the time?”

Ever since the showdown that night, Zhou Jing had been secretly planning his escape. After discussing with Roman, he finally decided to use a decoy to fool the guards and quietly slip away. This way, he could buy more time to escape.

After all, escaping from the Golden Castle was only the beginning. Once his disappearance was discovered by the king, the entire city would definitely be under martial law, and it would be difficult for him to leave the capital.

However, the guards were usually responsible and took turns to guard. Although they were not always by his side, it was very difficult to find an opportunity since they were always guarding the key entrance and exits. Even if he were to visit the washroom, he would see Brainless and Unhappy the moment he opened the toilet door. This made Zhou Jing feel like he was a depression patient that had to be monitored 24/7.

“You’re not happy with them?” Becky raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Jing deliberately said loudly, “Hudd and Lake are very responsible, but they are after all Third Enhancement Mutant Blood Warriors. It’s a waste to just protect me in the Golden Castle. Let them do something that befits their statuses.”

Becky thought about it for a few seconds and nodded slowly, “You’re right. It’s not a good idea for them to keep following you. After the wedding banquet, I’ll change your guards.”

While Becky had called it protection, it was actually for surveillance. However, it was so safe inside the Golden Castle, and Bill had probably come to his senses after a few months and felt a little dissatisfied with the extreme protection. Becky felt that it was time to adjust the intensity a little.

In any case, his goal had been achieved. During this period of time, he had cut off Bill’s channels of contact with the outside world. As long as the wedding goes through tomorrow, the dust will settle… Bill had already chosen to stand on the same side as the royal family by marrying the princess. In the future, there was no need to go through so much trouble and make people unhappy just to monitor him. Otherwise, it would only make Bill feel that he was always an “outsider”.

Hudd and Lake looked at each other with relief.

The past few months of constant surveillance had not been easy for them either. They had no time to exercise and were quite bored. Besides, following him for a long time had already made Bill unhappy. They had been worried that this life would last for years or even half their lives.

At this moment, Bill’s suggestion was exactly what they wanted. They could not help but look forward to being free.

Becky chatted with Zhou Jing for a while more. He mainly instructed him on the things to take note of for the wedding tomorrow and chatted with him about family matters. After that, both parties separated.

Watching Zhou Jing’s back, Becky nodded in satisfaction.

Finding a wife to tie up Bill and give birth to a child would basically ensure that Bill firmly supported the royal family.

The royal family also had different blood branches. Since Shuni was his daughter, Bill would only support the king’s line and be completely at his disposal.
