Chapter 3: A World Beyond This World
Xiaoer, in the future, would you still like to remain as Skyfire Kingdoms crown prince?
After King Lin asked him this question, he hurriedly turned around and left without even giving Lin Xiaoran the chance to answer.
King Lin knew that once Lin Xiaoran realized his potential, the Tianhuo Continent, the Skyfire Kingdom, wouldnt be his rightful place. After all, Lin Xiaorans father, the greatest genius he had seen in his life, came from that exalted place
...
When King Lin left, Lin Xiaoran was left staring dumbly at the door of his room. In his mind, the words that his father had just spoken kept on repeating themselves again and again and he just couldnt seem to calm down.
[Remain as the crown prince?
Why would father ask that?
Does it mean that since Im not his son, Im unworthy to become the crown prince of Skyfire Kingdom?]
Lin Xiaoran had these thoughts up in his mind. He was simultaneously perplexed, nervous, and agitated.. He wanted to know the answers to his questions but at the same time, he didnt really want to.
What if his thoughts were right? What if his father had really thought that, after he had learned of the truth, he wouldnt be worthy as the crown prince anymore?
However, he once again recalled his fathers words from a while ago.
You are my son.
After recalling these words, Lin Xiaoran had somehow managed to calm down, but at that moment, he immediately thought of how conflicting all the words his father had said from the moment he learned of the truth.
King Lin said that he was his son, and King Lin also asked him whether he would still like to be the crown prince or not werent those statements totally contradicting each other?
If King Lin still treated him as his son, then why would he ask him a question whether he would like to remain as a crown prince or not?
These contrasting statements had thoroughly confused Lin Xiaoran. Unknowingly, a few hours passed by and the sun had already set. In a few more minutes, Lin Xiaoran would be called for dinner...
The sweet aroma of various exquisite cuisines could be smelled throughout the dining hall of the palace. Rare fruits, rare plants, meat that came from powerful monstrous beasts [1] truly a sumptuous meal.
In a large rectangular table situated in the middle of the dining hall, dishes of different kinds of food were arranged. Some were boiling hot, while some were freezing cold. These dishes had been cooked with fresh and rare ingredients and obviously, their prices could only be described as exorbitant.
Sitting around the table, two people were eating in silence. One was King Lin, and of course, the other one was Lin Xiaoran.
As of that moment, they were already about to finish their meals. However, even up to that point, neither one of them had spoken a single word. In fact, the atmosphere was quite frightening that some of the maids had long refrained from remaining in the dining hall.
After silently finishing their meals, somehow, King Lin had finally broken the silence.
Erhm
Hearing King Lins very hushed mutter, Lin Xiaorans gaze shifted towards King Lin. With muddled thoughts, he still hadnt found a word to speak.
