Craftsman Cheat System
Chapter 47 - The Prize

After a few seconds Clay looked at the palace guard, now he asked. "Why can't they come in? Don't you guys know thank you?"

"Slaves are forbidden to enter the palace." Reply to one of the guards of the Grandle palace.

Clay was annoyed that his Guild members were still one-eyed, even though it was obvious that it was the members of the Black Dragon Guild who helped capture the royal fugitive.

"Then I won't go in either!" Briefly replied Clay as he re-stretched his feet to get closer to the Guild members.

Seeing and hearing what Clay was doing, Zen said to Clay. "Young master, we're fine waiting out here... You better get in and get the reward."

"No... If you don't come in, neither do I." Clay replied with a look of annoyance because his Guild members were not allowed to enter the royal palace.

After a few seconds later, Ariana realized that Clay did not immediately follow her and finally she immediately approached Clay who was currently outside the palace.

"Clay, let's go in... Why don't you come in soon? Grandpa's waiting for you." Ariana said as she walked closer to Clay.

"I wouldn't go inside if they couldn't get in..." Clay answered while pointing at his slaves for a few seconds, then he continued. "What if your grandfather comes to see me here?"

Hearing Clay's words, made some of the palace guards upset with Clay.

"Hey boy! Keep your manners!"

"So good of you, boy! How dare you ask our king to see you... Who are you?"

"You just happened to catch Vargus! Don't be so arrogant, young man!"

...

...

Some rants with a loud enough sound were clearly heard in Clay's ear and they also said while pointing their weapons at Clay.

Seeing the treatment of the palace guards, Clay smiled and then he laughed while answering. "Hahaha are you sure you put that gun on me?"

Clay answered, intending to retrieve one of his swords in the inventory.

Just after Clay finished with his words, Ariana began to panic.

Ariana panics because she knows Clay is a strong man.

Ariana was also still imagined with the trauma she experienced after seeing the torture of Vargus is very sadistic and terrible.

"Wait Clay... Hold your emotions..." Ariana tried to win Clay.

Clay just fell silent and tried to calm himself because after all Clay realized that he was currently a royal guest.

Ariana said again. "I'm sorry my palace guard Clay... They were simply carrying out their duties as the security and comfort of the palace."

"Hm, yeah okay... But I still wouldn't go inside if my Guild members didn't enter." Clay spoke with a slightly irritated look on his face.

"They can come in... I'll let it." Ariana.

Hearing Ariana's words, made the palace guards shocked. "But princess Ariana..."

When the city guards wanted to refute Ariana's decision, suddenly their speech was cut by Ariana. "Sstttt silence... I let them in and I guarantee that everything will be okay."

Hearing Ariana's words, made all the palace guards helpless and they could only go silent without a word.

After the debate at the entrance of the palace was finished, now they all entered the palace and immediately headed into the king's throne room, where Ariana's grandfather was located.

Inside the royal palace, Clay and the others were even more amazed by the beauty and luxury of the Grandle royal palace.

After a while later, they were now in front of the king's throne room door.

"Sir princess Ariana and the royal savior have arrived..." Shouted one of the palace guards who was in front of the door of the throne room.

Ariana, Clay and the others enter the throne room.

Inside the king's throne room, they were welcomed by many people of the Elf race.

All eyes were on Clay's entourage.

Royal officials, guard soldiers and the king of the kingdom are curious about the figure of the young man who has been told by Ariana.

"You must be Clay, right, young man?" Asked the figure of the old grandfather with the luxurious crown who was sitting on the throne chair.

"Yes. I'm Clay." Clay answered with a calm face.

"Welcome to Istanbul... My granddaughter has told me a lot about you."

"Thank you for welcoming me, king of the Grandle kingdom." Clay answered with a polite manner.

"There's no need to be so polite... You are the one who has captured the most dangerous fugitive in my kingdom... I, Albert as the king of the Grandle Kingdom say many thanks..."

"Everything... My name is Clay Valonia." Clay answered while still looking at the look on the face of the king of the kingdom.

Seeing Clay's attitude that continues to look at the king's face, making the soldiers and the royal officials were upset with Clay.

"Hey young man... Lower head! Have you never been taught the same manners as your parents when dealing with a king?"

...

...

Warnings with a loud enough tone were heard quite loud in Clay's ears, but it did not make Clay mentally waver.

"You need to remember! I have great respect for the king of the Grandle kingdom, as well as his grandfather Ariana... But I'm not here to submit to him and just to take my reward!" Clay answered firmly.

"Hahaha it turned out to be true what my granddaughter said... You're not like a young man in general..." Albert laughed for a few seconds, then he continued. "Alright... Since you've brought up the gift, I'll directly give it at the price I've set."

After Albert stopped saying, there appeared some royal soldiers carrying a box of treasure chests.

"In there are 100,000 Gold... It's all one of your gifts." Albert said to Clay, after some royal soldiers had placed the treasure chest in front of Clay.

Clay just fell silent with no expression. As for the Guild members, they were all shocked at hearing his enormous amount of rewards.

Seeing Clay show no expression, Albert was confused and asked Clay. "Why aren't you happy? It was in line with what I promised when I abdicated the throne to capture Vargus."

"Is this the only gift?" Clay answered with ease. Clay dared to say that because he knew that the gift promised by the king of the Grandle kingdom was not just a sum of money.

Clay learns of the reward from capturing Vargus, after he wonders to Ariana and Max while in the village of Gowa.

Hearing Clay's words, made all the royal parties again feel annoyed at Clay, but their annoyance was stopped by Albert just by slightly raising his right hand.

Albert slightly raised his right hand with the intention that everyone would not make a fuss and remain silent.

"Of course it's not that... I will also grant 3 reasonable requests and all three are within range of my abilities... What are your wishes?"

Clay smiled, before he had prepared anything he would ask from the king of the Grandle kingdom.
