They followed the annoying lady in rage, while cursing her secretly to their heart's content.

In their minds, these Baymardians were hell bent on making things difficult for them... because when they arrived at the 'Security check' region, their anger had undergone yet another transformation again.

"Please sirs ..... kindly place your swords and any other weapons that you may have onto the box for safekeeping.

We will return them back to you after your stay in Baymard."

"_"

That was it!!!

That was the last straw!!!

There was only so much insult that a man could take before going wilding all out.

How dare they request to keep a royal sealed sword?

And why the heck should they have to hand in their swords in the first place?

Everything was downright preposterous to them!

'Sling!!!!'

They drew their swords in rage, and their guards also followed their example as well.

"Esteemed guests.... please drop down your weapons immediately.

Everyone has to go through these procedures to step into Baymard." Said the lead security guard on duty.

Alec and his men looked at the black stick-like rods (guns) that these men were carrying..... and violent help but burst out in laughter.

"Bahahahahhaha!!!

What the hell are those things supposed to do against our swords?" One of their retainers said, while laughing hysterically.

"Hahhaha...I can't take it anymore.... hahahha I can't, I can't... hahahha.... these people are just so funny." Another said.

"Hahahah.... even a dagger is better than that..bahahaha..... it looks like their sense of reasoning had all gone downhill just from being ruled by that bastard prince."

"_"

Alec, Connor and Eli smiled broadly as well, while trying to hold in their laughter.

The entire scene was truly comical to them.

As for Cary, she laughed and giggled so hard that she almost peed herself from it all.

What the hell?

Even she could've thought of better weapons than those.

Compared to their sharp ling swords, those weapons all looked like toys in their eyes.

Hehehe..... it seems like they had worried for nothing.

That's right!

Even if that bastard ex-family member of theirs could now make new goods.... how were they in any way useful when it came to the defense of his empire?

They had heard talks about Baymard..... and through it all, they had never heard of Baymard having any Knight Academy or any solid army of knights backing it up as well.

So with all this, they felt their hearts lighten up..... as in their minds, taking over Baymard was as easy as counting to 10.

The surrounding people also compared their weapons as well, and soon started to feel pity and empathy for these kind-hearted Baymardians.

In the other hand..... The Baymardians who were being pitied and laughed at, continued to maintain their calm and cool composure instead.

Even the workers at the help desk.... all raised their heads proudly, while looking at the situation confidently.

"Silence!!!

You all can say whatever you want to.

But if you ever call our king a bastard again..... hehehe... then you'll know what it truly feels like to face our wrath!!!"

-silence-

Everyone's laughter immediately quieted down, and Alec and his crew instantly became angry again.

Who the hell was this worm to command their people to keep quiet in their presence?

And was he threatening them by saying that they would face his wrath instead?

Please!!.... how much damage could those puny little things in their hands do to them?

And when they remembered how they had asked them to go through the same procedures as these commoners, they couldn't help but become more furious as well.

"So are you saying that we are the same with these lowly riffraffs?

We are king Landon's family..... so shouldn't we receive any special treatment just from that?" Cary said in anger.

"I'm sorry, but if you truly were his Majesty's family... then from the moment you stepped into Riverdale city, his majesty would've made plans for you all, and also informed us of your V.I.P treatment." The main security guard there said.

His every word reminded them of where Landon had placed them in his mind.

Their bodies exploded with even more rage..... and they felt like they would cut down everyone present, if they weren't let in with their swords.

How else were they supposed to confidently go about their plans, when they only source of protection was taken from them?

No!.....They would get in with them no matter what!!

"Do you know who they are?

This man right here is his majesty Alec Barn!

And to his left are Prince Eli, Prince Connor and Princess Cary.

How dare you lowly ants talk to him in that manner without groveling or kneeling?" One of their retailers exclaimed loudly.

And very quickly, silence soon flooded the room like a tsunami.

Alec and the rest sneered at the guards as they thought that the silence represented their fear.

What?..... they were already scared so soon?

Where did all their previous self-righteous attitude go to?

Hmmp!... a bunch of clowns.

The security guards and Baymardians on the other hand, were silent for another reason altogether.

Rather than fear..... they looked at Alec and his crew in disgust instead.

So this man was the famous fool that banished their king away from Arcadina?

They looked at him from head to toe, and if trying to embed his entire physique into their minds.

Most people would try to keep anything that was deemed valuable close to them, but this hit actually drove his most prized possession out instead?

What a fool!!!

Even though Alec stood there all proud and mighty.... right at this moment, they couldn't help but compare him to a jester.

And from all the rants, stares and glares that he had previously made towards them... it was very clear to them that his brain was also made out of rocks as well.

Indeed, his foolish looks truly complimented his idiotic brain.

And those 3 besides him were the people who also bullied their kind king when he was growing up?

Hmmp!... If they were any better than their king, then why didn't they invent their own products as well?

So what exactly was so special about them that this stupid Arcadinian king had to pick them over his majesty Landon Barn?

In short, stupidity was all they could see when they looked at Alec!

The visiting people of Riverdale looked at Alec with fear, while distancing themselves away from him.

This man was the renowned tyrant that they had all heard of... so wasn't it dangerous to keep standing close to him?

Some even started kneeling down, while others shivered from fright instead.

It's over!... it's all over!

The tyrant would soon have their heads for dinner.

"Hmmp!!!

Now that you know that you all know that you are in the presence of the Royal family..... I hope that you all will act accordingly, and let us pass without any more interferences." The retainer said arrogantly.

With that, everyone else quickly looked at the security guard anxiously.... as they truly didn't know what to do in such situations.

Eli and the rest also smiled as well... as they knew that their positions would definitely get them access into Baymard unhinged, and with their weapons as well.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you all again.... but you see, this is Baymard!

And in here, you all are just visitors.

So whether you are a king, servant or even a peasant ..... it's all the same to us."

"_"

Alec, his crew and everyone else almost toppled to the ground, as they heard the calm but commanding guard speak.

And the more he spoke, the angrier they became.

There it was again!

Why did this guy like to comparethem with these cheap peasants?

The vicinity suddenly became tense, and several people quickly stepped back even further.... as they didn't want to be caught in a crossfire of swords.

Cary's face became even redder than it was before, as she clenched her fists until her long fingernails had successfully dug into them.

Her facial expression was one of absolute disdain.

For her, these people were all less than the dust under her shoes.

Alec, Eli, Connor and their retainers were also furious as well.

This was a direct hit to their egos, pride and social standing.

Dammit!!!

In what way were they similar to these foul disgusting peasants?

And to even compare them to slaves, weren't these Baymardians just asking for a beating instead?

"What is the meaning of this?!!!

How dare you disrespect his majesty Alec Barn and the entire Royal family like that?" One if their retainers said, while pointing his sword at the lead guard.

"Ohhhh?..... what exactly do you mean?

How are we being disrespectful?

In here, the only law that we follow and abide by, is that of our king..... and the last time that I checked, Baymard wasn't part of Arcadina anymore.

So would you rather we disrespect our king for yours?

Listen up!!!

Everyone, please get up immediately.

You all are also our guests as well, so don't bother kneeling down to another guest while in here.

Remember, be it a woman, child, peasant, or even a slave.... everyone has equal rights in Baymard.

And no one can use their titles out of Baymard to force you all into doing something that you all don't want to do.

So please get up and stand firm for you all are in Baymard, not Arcadina!!!" The guard spoke confidently.

With that, the people sluggishly got up from the ground.... but tilted their heads downwards, as they didn't want to make eye contact with Alec.

But even though they didn't look, they still felt like prey in a massive jungle under Alec's intense stare.

'Shit!!.... the beast would soon make his move!!' They thought.

And of course, they were right.... because right now, Alec was in beast mode.
