The room froze when they heard the word, Prince. While this would be the first time they met. Hiro's party has been doing a lot of things that would get them the death penalty.
Murdering almost 1500 citizens of the Empire at the black market auction in Anvil, Summoning a twelve thousand-strong monster Invasion, and finally breaking into Partisan without going through customs.
Hiro and his party flew through the sky using Tsugumi's Caliber swords and locked the Arcus Kiss using his skill for an entire day. The skill dissolved by itself when the skills limit was passed.
Tsugumi and the San-Baka immediately formed a defensive circle with Raylene and the wives. While Hiro ate in silence. Alan and Xing approached and bowed to the prince.
"Greetings, your highness. I am honored for you to grace my establishment. Have you eaten breakfast? Please help yourselves to a meal."
"Your grace, I apologize for not immediately reporting to you but a couple of matters required my attention."
The Prince then looked at the kiss marks on Madame Xing's neck. Embarrassed the owner of the establishment, pulled up the fabric of her dress in a vain attempt to hide the affection Alan granted her.
"Hmm, yes urgent matters. I am happy that spring finally arrived for you, Madame Xing. I really am. However, I came as a string of incidents called for my attention and I believe the origin of the matter might be here."
Xing tried to play dumb as she attempted to gauge how much the prince already knew. "Oh? Heavens what might those matters be your majesty? Please let me know and I will do my best to assist."
The royal son of the empire walked forward and slowly approached Tsugumi's group. His women flanked him as he walked. Their every step echoed in the tense hall, all of them were beautiful beyond belief.
"Well, for one this place suddenly disappeared from everyone's senses last night. Even mine. I noticed your roof is in shambles. What happened if I may ask?" The man scrutinized Tsugumi and the San-Baka then looked at Hiro.
The Mitsurugi Sister and the others were flabbergasted by their master who had yet to stop eating his breakfast despite the authorities showing up currently he ate thick slices of honey-cured bacon. Aurum silently murmured. "Master must really like bacon."
Before Xing could answer, prince Dylan then moved to approach Hiro while the women with him all started to get some food from the buffet. Still unsure what was going to happen, Raylene, Jade, and Vanessa all sat down and began to partake in their breakfast.
Being swept by the mood Tsugumi similarly sat on her chair while her sword intent laid ready to send out Caliber swords at the four women eating.
The San-Baka took their plates to tables beside Tsugumi's, each man sat alone at a table ensuring that no matter where the attack came from they would be able to intercept it.
Hiro continued to eat despite everything happening. Alan and Xing, naturally also went back but hardly made any conversation. The tense situation had Dylan Lancea Dominii, the strongest spear man of the empire, and his battle harem Gae-bolg to one side on the other Hiro and his party.
The amount of power gathered in this room could destroy cities if a clash were to happen. Xing started to get restless as this place has been her home for the last two decades.
Dylan continued to approach the lone Hiro and stopped in from of his table. "Do you mind if I take this seat stranger?"
"Knock yourself out."
"Thank you", the Prince then sat at the table and stretched his legs. A few minutes after his women took their seats at a table beside Hiro's. One of them carried two big plates of food and laid them in front of the Prince.
"Dear, they had all your favorites, I got you a dozen full slices of bacon. Ones that are full of fat. The kind you love. Eat it while it's hot."
Dylan then took her hand and kissed it lovingly. "Thank you, Vesna, what would I ever do without you." The woman giggled as she gave a swift peck to her man's cheek and returned to her table.
"Must be nice, having your women cherish you so." Quipped Hiro in envy.
Dylan started to dig into his food as he answered. "Find your own, she is mine." Even though it sounded like a joke the hidden barbs were meant to warn Hiro.
"I'm not interested in another man's woman. Besides, I already have my own. Three drop-dead gorgeous wives I would give anything for. They are my life and I am interested in no one but them."
A table away Vanessa and her sisters grew pink from embarrassment. All of them inwardly were all screaming things like 'Why would you say something so shameful to someone you just met!'
Tsugumi couldn't help but giggle when she saw the flush faces of her sisters-in-law. "My Nii-sama is indeed devious, just one line and you three are like putty in his hands."
Back at Hiro's table, Dylan couldn't help exclaiming. "My word, that was cringy as hell. You talk like this all the time?" at his words the San-Baka all simultaneously blurted out their food.
They already knew Hiro was the largest ham they ever met. The man spat out cringy lines one after another like a kid suffering from 8th-grade syndrome. Yet as calling him out would get them beaten to an inch of their lives thus none of them had the guts to do so.
"Anyone tell you, you are an asshole? When no one asks for your opinion learn to shove it down your throat so it stops you from spouting crap."
At Hiro's words, the table beside them and Alan's table all started giggling. The women that came with the prince had a hard time stifling their laughter as they were forced to stop eating.
Pleased with their reaction, Hiro went back to eating. As if nothing happened, the prince couldn't believe someone dissed him to his face. "You are an uncouth bastard. You know that?"
"I do, and frankly I don't give a damn, let me eat in peace or else."
"Or else what? You will kill me like the ones in the Anvil? Oh, scary Sabacthani?"
When Hiro's party heard that name they all tensed up and prepared to draw their weapons. Dylan's women noticed the killing intent and all similarly stopped eating to protect the prince.
Yet the Wolfen butcher answered as he ate."Yeah, you think I can't?"
"Aren't you even a bit surprised that I know?" asked Dylan in annoyance.
The tension in the room deflated rapidly as neither man seemed to want to have a confrontation. Lar's couldn't help but comment. "The bacon must be extremely good. Enough to stop combat. All hail the bacon."
"I figured it out when I saw the puppets. You have been waiting for me from the beginning." Hiro answered
This time it was Xing and Alan who started to sweat. The unidentified puppets where part of the prince's forces? What is going on?
Dyan then started to eat as he expressed his annoyance. "Was I that obvious? I thought I had them altered to look pretty devious. What gave me away?"
"You aren't as smart as you think you are, never mind that, help me set up a wedding. Do that and I will fight for you in three months."
"Okay, anything else?"
"Do not bother me during my honeymoon."
"You know I cannot allow you to leave right?"
"My honeymoon Is just in my hotel room. Just don't bother me for seven days."
"Okay."
Then both men returned to eating their bacon. After a few moments, Tsugumi stood up and roared in annoyance.
"WILL YOU PLEASE STOP EATING THE DAMN BACON! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"
