The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 1029

Seven figures emerged, striding confidently in their direction.

The six trailing behind all wore black attire, exuding an oppressive aura. The young man leading the group, however, was even more striking. Dressed in a long golden robe, he radiated authority with every step.

Even an ordinary person, seeing such clothing, would immediately recognize him as a member of the royal family. After all, in the entire Martial City, only the royal family dared to don such golden robes. Their royal guards, in contrast, wore imposing black uniforms.

Caught off guard by their unannounced arrival, Wilson quickly stepped forward with a wide, welcoming smile.

"What an honor to have you visit our humble Xavier family, Your Highness. I apologize for not greeting you sooner."

Though royalty commanded respect, it was more of a title than actual governance. Kneeling or performing grand ceremonial gestures wasn't customary in such interactions. So, Wilson merely clasped his hands together as a polite greeting.

"Mr. Xavier, there's no need for such formalities," the young man said. "I'm here on official business in Westville, but I thought I'd stop by and visit my fiancée while I'm here. It's only proper."

Zayn Palmer, the sixth prince, was a refined and elegant man. He carried himself with an air of unmatched grace befitting a member of the royal family.

"Who's your fiancée?" Before anyone else could respond, Nerissa broke in coldly, her face frosty with displeasure. "Hmph! Sneaking around eavesdropping on others, and now spouting such nonsense?"

"Nerissa, mind your manners!" Wilson reprimanded sharply.

Zayn, however, waved it off with a gentle smile. "It's fine. Nerissa is, after all, a member of the illustrious Xavier family and one of the Ten Prodigies. A little temper is to be expected."

Wilson was thoroughly pleased with Zayn's response. For him, the grand strategy of securing the Xavier family's future relied on this marriage. Zayn, the sixth prince, being royalty and exceptional in his own right, was an ideal match.

"Your Highness, you are indeed magnanimous. By the way, you mentioned earlier about someone named Felix entering Echo Cavern. What's that about?"
