Xia Lin didn't notice Zorro's icy glare at all. His growling stomach had him fully immersed in the delicious food.
It's so good, incredibly good! The chef on the starship is really skilled. No wonder the villainous big shot is an emperor. The chefs he hires are the best!
Although he was going to be a slave, if he could curry favor with this emperor well, his life shouldn't be too miserable, right?
The little slave's cheeks were bulging as he ate, looking like a cute little hamster. Seeing Xia Lin enjoying his food so much, Karoon found his own appetite improving.
Zorro's eyes widened. The emperor had eaten so much today! His complex gaze fell on the "rude" - eating slave. Could it be because of this guy? If he could make the "fasting - type" emperor eat more, then this slave was really worth buying!
With a full stomach, the optimistic Xia Lin felt much better. Although he didn't have any cheats and started as a slave, he believed that there was always a way out. He was sure that God would still look after him.
"Thank you. I'm very full and happy." Tilting his head, Xia Lin noticed Zorro's dissatisfied stare. Remembering his current status as a slave, he flashed an extremely satisfied smile at Karoon. "The food is delicious. Thank you... master?"
Karoon was a bit stunned. Apart from his two fathers, who were gentle and kind to him, everyone else was always trembling in his presence. Even when those people wore false and disgusting flattering smiles, their greedy looks couldn't be hidden.
For the first time, someone seemed not afraid of him at all and smiled at him so happily.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Xia Lin tilted his head and thought for a while. "I'm not afraid of you." Because the system won't let me die. "Moreover, you're my master..." This address was really a bit embarrassing. "If I'm always afraid of you, how can I serve you whole - heartedly?"
Adjutant Zorro bit off the head of a lobster with a crunch. Humph, a slave good at sweet - talking! The most important thing was that the emperor seemed to like it. To prevent this slave from continuing to bewitch the emperor, Zorro walked behind Karoon to report. "Your Majesty, we'll reach the Central Star tonight. The two princes said it doesn't matter if they can't find the plantain herb. The great prophet Pismann said that Your Majesty will encounter an opportunity soon this time."
Karoon nodded and told the servant to pour a glass of juice for Xia Lin, who was choking a bit from eating. "Tell them to go to bed early tonight. They don't need to wait for me to return."
"By the way, Your Majesty, more than a dozen dukes and marquises have jointly written a letter, asking Your Majesty to marry a queen as soon as possible."
Karoon remained expressionless, his eyes showing a sharp cold light. "They just want their daughters to become the queen. Ignore them!"
Zorro remembered that Emperor Karoon had once unhesitatingly killed a senior duke because his daughter had deliberately tried to seduce the emperor. He didn't expect that after a few years, these people had grown bolder.
"However, Your Majesty, your two fathers also hope that you can get married soon. They said that if you don't get married soon, they will..."
Karoon waved his hand to interrupt Zorro. "I see, but Zorro, you know there's no suitable woman around me at all!"
Zorro was speechless. It was clearly because the emperor was either dealing with official business or waging wars against other countries every day, not giving those noble ladies any chance to get close to him.
"What if it's a man instead of a woman?" Zorro suggested.
