Soon enough, he got the chance to meet the legendary prophecy master. To elevate Xia Lin's status, with Zorro's approval, Karoon took Xia Lin to Pissman's residence.
As the most renowned prophecy master in the entire universe, Pissman was granted the title of marquis by the former emperor, Nolen. In the Romante Empire where nobles accounted for less than 0.1% of the population, one could well imagine the value of the marquis title.
At this moment, Pissman was sipping tea. When his servant came to report that Karoon had arrived, he choked and sputtered, "Cough, what is that troublemaker doing here?"
The servant replied, "Your Majesty has brought the future queen."
Pissman pondered for a moment. "Alright, I understand. I'll go greet that troublemaker right away!"
Xia Lin followed Karoon into the first - floor hall of the main building in Pissman's mansion. When he saw Pissman, Xia Lin was extremely surprised.
"He looks so young!" Since Karoon had told him that Pissman was over ten thousand years old, imagining Karoon's appearance at five hundred years old, Xia Lin had thought Pissman would be an old man with graying beard.
Pissman smiled. He looked like a mature and steady elder. "I presume you are the future queen."
Xia Lin nodded. "Hello, my name is Xia Lin."
Pissman nodded and then looked at Karoon. Karoon stroked Xia Lin's head and asked, "Xiaolin, do you want to take a stroll around Pissman's mansion? Although it's not very big, he has a small zoo with many rare animals."
"Okay, then I'll go first." Xia Lin knew this was Karoon's way of getting him out of the way. There must be some things that only Pissman and Karoon should know.
Pissman's male servant led Xia Lin away. In the living room, Karoon was talking to Pissman about Xia Lin.
"Give Xia Lin a prophecy?" Karoon wouldn't beg Pissman. He didn't deserve it! So he simply issued a command.
Pissman slowly sipped a cup of tea and said, "To maintain the reputation of a prophet, I won't tell lies!"
Karoon's face turned cold. "Are you refusing my order?" It seemed that as long as Pissman dared to say yes, he would face the tyrant's wrath the next second.
Pissman sighed inwardly. Why was he still so hot - tempered? "But I've already given that young man a prophecy."
Karoon's expression improved a lot. He asked, "What's the prophecy?"
"A favorable prophecy. A few days ago, I prophesied that that young man would marry an emperor! He will bring development, greatness and progress to the Romante Empire!"
"Really!" Karoon was obviously extremely satisfied with this prophecy. Seeing Pissman nod affirmatively, "That's great, Master Pissman. Please announce this prophecy when the time comes."
Pissman snorted. "Now you know to call me master and say 'please'."
Karoon was in a good mood and didn't bother arguing with Pissman. After Xia Lin finished visiting the zoo and came back, Karoon took him back.
After Karoon left, Pissman sighed and murmured to himself, "Did I do the right thing? Hiding the real secret." In fact, the real prophecy was that Xia Lin was destined to become a queen. But what would Karoon think if he heard this prophecy? Would he think that it was because Xia Lin was destined to be a queen that he became an emperor? Or would Xia Lin become a queen even if he married someone else? Would Karoon's feelings for Xia Lin change? Pissman was afraid of these things!
Forgive my lies. It's all for the Romante royal family!
