696 The Stars Of The Show!
Time went by in a flash.
And just like that, 3 more days had gone by.
Of course within this period, Lucy and her team didn't forget to call the Gustavs pitifully and pleaded with them to tell the truth.
She had given them the illusion that everyone was disappointed with her.
So she begged her father to do this one last act of kindness for his daughter she promised that if he did, she would make sure that they weren't punished.
And she would also pay them their monthly allowances for at least bringing her into this world.
In this era, it was customary for parents to get their monthly upkeep from their children once they passed the age of adulthood.
So Lucy still opted to do that for Gustav.
care of them after they left Baymard.
But how could he agree?
From what Gustav could see, this stupid daughter of his still desired fatherly love from him and was stupid enough to think that he would ever confess to what he did.
She had called him anxiously with her voice all panicky.
And even the number of times she called, showed him that she was getting more and more nervous as the days went by.
She begged him separately and even told him that if he didn't say anything, then she might have to leave the palace.
Again, she also agreed to his deal in letting her sisters marry Landon.
But wasn't it too late for that now?
Finally, when she couldn't get what she wanted, this daughter of hers had the guts to threaten him.
That's right!
She said that if he didn't agree to her conditions now... then one day when the truth came out, she wouldn't give him a dim or protect him too.
He sneered and scoffed at her idiocracy because in his mind... that day when the truth would be revealed would never happen.
And even if it did, it might only be revealed years after this.
By then, they would've already integrated into royalty and one of his daughters could manipulate or make Landon easily forgive them.
So what was more important, living in the present or the future?
Of course it was the present!
For him, listening to Lucy's goodwill warnings were like threats which stimulated him to trample on her even more.
Hmph!
It was already too late for that low classed daughter of his to beg for his forgiveness.
As a man, he wouldn't allow anyone to trample on his ego and get away with it.
Not even his late mother!
.
The Gustav family dressed up even more lavishly than they did when they had previously visited the palace.
They raised their chins, pushed their chests out and moved boldly like egoistic peacocks.
And all the time, they had been treating everyone around them like dirt.
How could royalty mingle with these common people?
"Boy?
Are you stupid?
Don't you know that I'm about to become royalty?
Open the door for me immediately!"
"How rude!
Is this how you all treat royalty here?
Quickly tell these other people to step aside for us now!"
(°^°)
Everyone looked at them in confusion, as if they were looking at clowns.
Were these people idiots?
Or were they on some sort of TV show right now?
Everyone looked back and forth in hopes of catching a glimpse of film cameras within the hotel lobby.
But sadly they saw none.
'What a weird group of people!'
And so the oblivious Gustavs arrogantly made their way to the palace once more.
Now the show was really about to begin.
"Your majesty, they're here!"
"Good!
Tell everyone to get ready."
"Yes, your majesty!"
With that, Landon, Lucy, Mother Kim, and Lucius calmly went to the throne room.
Today, Lucius had decided to see the live show in the flesh.
He wanted to see these bold enemies who dared to march into the palace, look everyone in the face and lie with no respect.
These sort of people could even lie without blinking while stabbing you.
.
"Alright everyone!
Places, places!
The stars of the show will arrive any moment from now.
So get ready, because we start broadcasting at 10 A.M on the dot."
"Yes director!"
(^_^)
Of course, 3 days ago... the royal family made a huge announcement saying that today they had some important news to share.
No one knew what the news was about, except the Gustavs who had personally gotten a call from Landon, saying that he would officially recognize them as Baymardian royals.
He even told them about what to do and what not to do during the entire welcome procedure.
Additionally, he sent them some portraits and books that highlighted Mother Winnie's acceptance day years back.
When Mother Winnie, Little Linda and Beri had been exiled from Yodan... Santa had brought them to Baymard.
And even though Landon had said that they would be seen as Baymardian royals... it wasn't until a year and a half later that they had their welcoming ceremony that was celebrated by all.
They took oaths and were sworn by priests to do their best and never let Baymard down.
So seeing portraits, books and the museum art that all described the day, the Gustavs were utterly convinced that they too would have this sort of ceremony as well.
Again, the clueless news broadcasting station crew members who had already been contacted by Landon... all agreed to set up the live broadcast within the audience room.
And now, everything was set up for the grand occasion.
This was a national moment that everyone would be watching live.
So even though they didn't know what was going to be announced, they too were very excited as well.
They looked at the door anxiously while waiting for the so-called stars of the show.
Who exactly were they?
.
"His majesty is ready for you all now.
Please follow me.
And once again, welcome!"
(^_^)
Hearing the very cheerful manner in which they were greeted, the Gustavs couldn't help smiling from molar to molar victoriously.
They almost skipped and hoped in joy as they followed behind one of Lucy's secretaries.
Gustav himself began visualizing his own customized garden again.
No!
He abated statues of himself all over Baymard.
Why stop in a garden when he can leave statues or portraits of himself everywhere?
From billboards to museum sculptures, art and even massive statues at certain entertainment squares... he wanted to be placed everywhere!
That way, his friends and enemies in the Capital would think twice before ever disrespecting him.
He would be the overlord of his clique.
And might even turn them into lackeys who did things at the snap of his finger just for some Baymardian benefits.
Hahahahha!
with this, his name would undoubtedly go down in history!
Of course, Gustav wasn't wrong.
His name would definitely go down in history... but not the way he wanted it to.
Today, the noble Gustav family were the stars of the show!
