Thales thought deeply while walking towards the exit of the banquet hall accompanied by the guards, preparing to return to his original position and continue to perform his duty of welcoming guests.

However, before he finished thinking...

The accident happened.

When he passed a group of foreign guests, a tall and majestic figure, even more powerful than Glover, suddenly stood up!

The other party burst into his sight with a fierce momentum!

In an instant, both Glover and Doyle's expressions changed.

But the two guardsmen were well trained. They instantly bent their knees and pressed their swords. Before the opponent came close, they would unsheath their swords and kill the assassin!

Until Mallos' strong hands stretched out just right.

Hold their shoulders tightly!

This avoids the embarrassment of having the Star Prince make his first appearance in front of everyone, causing the guests to be bloodied.

"Hold still." Mallos scolded in a low voice.

At the same time, a rich and rude voice, with an accent that Thales was all too familiar with, sounded in the banquet hall:

"Look who this is?"

The majestic guest stood in front of Thales and laughed.

The nervous Glover and Doyle were startled. They glanced at Marius who was stopping them, and then noticed that although the other person was scary in stature, he was unarmed and standing at a safe distance.

They overreacted.

Thales, on the other hand, looked at the stranger in front of him in astonishment - this man with a body as thick as his beard, thick but slightly rustic clothes, and who looked like a big bear.

"An old friend of our people in Exeter!"

"Prince Thales..."

I saw the bearded man in front of me happily opening his thick arms, happily shouting out the next word with a powerful voice:

"Polaris!"

Thales was stunned.

Just wait a moment...

North, what star is north?

He turned around in confusion and glanced at the guests around him. They who were watching out of curiosity immediately turned back, each performing his duties and looking for his mother.

But this did not prevent Thales from recognizing the other party's familiar accent.

He comes from...

"Look!"

The bearded man’s laughter was rough and majestic, full of energy:

"The prince who grew up drinking the milk of us northerners is just different!"

Thales was stunned again.

What...what water?

"sorry?"

The prince finally adjusted himself and responded politely and appropriately:

"In fact, I...when I arrived at Longxiao City, I was already..."

Thales continued awkwardly in his heart:

Weaned.

Wait, in this world, when he was a child...

Have you ever drank milk?

But he was still greeted by a burst of rude laughter.

"I'm Jorge, no last name."

The Northlander who called himself Jorge slapped his chest hard. If there was a rumble of drums, several star nobles not far away were startled and subconsciously moved away.

"I am an official of Grand Duke Gadro, and I bring you the pride and hospitality of Elk City!"

Thales' complexion changed.

Grand Duke Gadlo.

Elk City?

The northern geography that was once so familiar came back to his mind again.

Among the ten major territories of Exeter, if Qiyuan City is in the far west, Elk City is in the far east.

In fact, the Gadlo family of Elk City is located in a remote place, but it is close to the mountains and cliffs, close to the ice and the sea. With few high-quality ports and harsh coastal environment, it is difficult to maintain a long and narrow space that is rare in the entire Kingdom of Exeter.

Coastline:

To the north, they can support Sentinel and Glacier Sea by sea to defend against the Glacier Orcs;

To the south, Elk City's fleet can respond to the Reconstruction Tower and Black Sand Territory, and remotely control the stars of the East China Sea ports;

To the east, the vassals of the Gadlo family have to sail and fight with the Kasai pirates, the "sons of the maiden" who roam the island, to protect the shipping routes;

Even, in some extreme times, they have to face threats from the other side of the End Sea and sound the first horn of continental war.

Six years ago, Grand Duke Gadlo did not respond to King Nuen's invitation to come to Longxiao City to witness the night that shocked the Western Continent.

But Thales remembered what the Earl of Lisban called him - "that sanctimonious goatee".

However……

Thales looked thoughtfully at the familiar yet unfamiliar Northlander Jorge.

He came to attend... his homecoming banquet?

"It's a great honor to meet you, and Haoyue is also shocked!"

Jorge spoke nonsense grammar, but he laughed boldly and happily raised his arms to Thales:

"My North Star!"

Thales raised his eyebrows.

"North, Polaris?"

Thales repeated in confusion.

What the hell kind of name is this?

"yes!"

Every call from Jorge seemed to make the floor tiles beneath his feet vibrate:

"You have been in Longxiao City for six full years, boy named Canxing!"

He clapped his hands vigorously, ignoring the disdainful looks from Glover and Doyle:

"So after you return to China, everyone calls you Polaris..."

"Because you are the most knowledgeable and the one who has lived in the north the longest in the past few hundred years——"

Jorge looked excited, and the sound shook the dome:

"King of the Stars!"

At that moment, it seemed that the entire banquet hall fell silent.

Everyone turned their heads and stared at this corner.

One second, two seconds.

Jorge noticed the sudden silence of the people around him and was stunned for a moment.

He looked around cautiously.

The officer from Elk City took a deep breath and looked at the stiff-faced and hopeless Prince in front of him.

He seemed to realize something.

"Well, maybe what I mean is..."

Jorge grinned and rubbed his protruding belly awkwardly, like a big bear taking a bath.

I saw him innocently spreading his hands and smiling awkwardly:

"King in waiting?"
