Chapter 247 Zhou Ze, Who Wasn't Well-Emphasized
The Dream Universe Kingdom is the most luxurious palace complex on the Dream Continent, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Above one of the magnificent mansions, a figure appeared out of thin air at a specially set-up teleportation point behind the mansion.
Then Zhou Ze, who was hidden in Bertha's World Ring, and his guards appeared here at the same time.
"Bessa, is this where you live in the Dream Continent?" Zhou Ze looked around, his words still lingering.
A burst of mental energy swept over, and then several figures flew over.
"Your Highness!"
The crowd that flew over bowed respectfully.
Bertha looked at Zhou Ze somewhat awkwardly.
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing."
Bertha secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the apprentice prince seemed quite peaceful and approachable, he was afraid of leaving a stain on the prince's heart.
"Bessa, I never knew you were a princess of the Dream Royal Family."
Bertha said respectfully, "Your Highness, in the company, someone like me, a prince, is nothing compared to you. Your Highness's status is truly noble."
"Besides, there are far too many royal offspring in a cosmic kingdom, and countless princesses like myself!"
The princess's flattery left the servants and guards speechless. They had never seen their princess flatter anyone like this before, not even the emperor.
Moreover, they knew that their princess had already broken through to immortality, and was almost comparable to a marquis-level immortal!
"Will, from now on, just call me Princess in front of His Highness the Apprentice!" Bertha secretly reminded him.
"Yes, Princess!" Will felt a chill run down his spine.
Did he know that the princess was once a member of the virtual universe company, the Primordial Secret Realm, and had recently broken through to immortality?
Because the princess joined the Virtual Universe Company, this old servant, who had been taking care of her since birth, naturally had a good understanding of many aspects of the company.
Even ordinary members of the original secret realm wouldn't willingly accept such flattery and address as "Your Highness," given the princess's pride.
There is only one possibility: the man in front of us, who is completely covered in armor, is extraordinary, even in the Primal Secret Realm!
The princess is now comparable to a marquis, and this man is likely one of those members of the Primal Secret Realm who, upon breaking through to the Immortal Realm, can be comparable to a king!
"Where is Father?" Bertha asked the old butler, Will, with a frown.
Will immediately replied, "His Majesty has already prepared a banquet in the palace, awaiting the princess's return."
Bertha remained expressionless, but inwardly she felt somewhat dissatisfied. Although her father doted on him, his vision was rather short-sighted. She had already told him to come and greet His Highness in person.
It seems he's still putting on airs. What does it matter if he's the emperor of a cosmic kingdom before a true powerhouse?
There is a saying that is often circulated in the universe: "Only those with average talent and understanding are obsessed with the throne and the art of power."
Truly powerful and confident geniuses have long since joined the five giants to pursue their personal greatness.
"Your Highness—" Bertha said respectfully with a smile, "My father, the Emperor, has already prepared a banquet upon hearing of your arrival. However, the official appointment at the company will still need a few days to be finalized. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to accompany me to experience the customs and culture of the Dreamland?"
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "That's fine too. Anyway, there's plenty of time, so there's no rush."
After the banquet.
Bertha appeared outwardly friendly, leading Zhou Ze on a stroll through some not-so-secluded parts of the palace, but inwardly she was constantly criticizing her incredibly short-sighted father.
After strolling around for a while, Zhou Ze said with a smile, "Bessa, you haven't been back for a long time. I'm sure there are many places you want to go and relatives and friends you want to visit. You can settle me in first. I'll give you a break. Just come over before the official appointment is issued."
Bertha felt like a wronged child at that moment; the emotional turmoil she was experiencing was all too obvious.
Although she concealed it well, the emperor's expression just now couldn't be described as disrespectful, but it certainly didn't seem that he took it seriously.
It was called a banquet, but not even civil and military officials were summoned; it was more like a family dinner.
Of course, as the emperor of the Dream Universe Kingdom, he still spoke very eloquently.
Zhou Ze could tell at a glance that the other party didn't value him that much. However, if it weren't for Bertha's request, Zhou Ze wouldn't even give a thought to the emperor of a mere universe kingdom.
This is not arrogance, but rather the fact that those who are obsessed with power and do not value cultivation are no longer on the same level as him.
Different road non-phase plan.
"Your Highness, then you may stay at my residence for now. My residence has been renovated since I became an immortal; it's more than enough even if you're not cultivating there after being granted the title of Marquis!" Bertha immediately said with a smile.
"This isn't a good idea," Zhou Ze said with some concern.
"It's alright, Your Highness. I've already broken through to the Immortal Realm, and my strength is comparable to that of a Marquis-level Immortal. Besides, I'm affiliated with the company, so my father can't affect me!" Bertha said nonchalantly.
"Alright," Zhou Ze agreed after a slight hesitation.
When Zhou Ze followed Bertha to her residence's training room and settled in, Bertha's expression changed immediately upon leaving, and she flew straight to the palace.
The palace guards along the way turned a blind eye and dared not stop her at all. This was not only because Bertha was His Majesty's most beloved princess, but also because everyone knew that the princess had extraordinary talent. In her early years, she joined the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle and became a core member of the Primordial Secret Realm.
Furthermore, they have now broken through to the Immortal realm, and once they break through, they have the strength to be close to being enfeoffed as marquises. All of them combined are no match for Her Highness Princess's single hand.
In the palace's inner courtyard, the newly enthroned empress, arm in arm with the emperor, smiled slightly:
"I didn't expect Bertha to be so proud, actually choosing to become the leader of a domain lord's guards, and even wanting His Majesty to personally greet her." The emperor also smiled and said, "A daughter is no longer under her father's control once she grows up. That apprentice is, after all, a member of the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company, while Bertha has always been a member of the Primordial Secret Realm, so naturally there is a filter effect."
The Queen smiled and said, "Indeed, the Virtual Universe Company is one of the five major giants. The status of a member of the Primal Secret Realm is even more prestigious than that of the emperors of some mid-level cosmic civilizations!"
The Emperor remained calm: "Well, after all, they are members of the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company, so it's normal for them to have that kind of status."
As an emperor, he naturally had a good understanding of the power structure of the universe.
But as long as he doesn't deliberately offend the five giants or betray his race, no matter how talented or high-ranking someone is, they can't interfere in his internal affairs. After all, as the emperor of a cosmic nation, he has a cosmic venerable behind him!
Therefore, for the emperor, there was no need for him to deliberately fawn over a prince of the Virtual Universe Company, nor would he be foolish enough to deliberately offend such a noble core member of the Primal Secret Realm.
As a seasoned politician, he understands this principle.
"Your Majesty, it wasn't intentional, but Bertha has a fiancé in the neighboring universe," the Queen said with a worried expression.
"If he knew Bertha made this choice, he'd go crazy—"
As the empress of the entire universe, the queen was naturally excellent in every way. Moreover, Bertha was focused on cultivation and never concerned herself with politics, so she posed no threat to her child.
Similarly, she wasn't a jealous person, but this kind of thing involved a lot of people.
"It's quite troublesome. Hopefully, Bertha can be more rational. That person is highly valued by the ruler of the neighboring universe!"
