Only a fool would believe that

Zion now understands his predicament because he was set up by his siblings; the coming of age would now be his death anniversary. 

'What the?'

Zion glanced at his royal family's grand entrance, and couldn't help but comment that they truly were stunning, like a well-sculpted statue. They have well-refined bodies, straight backs, golden eyes, blond hair, and glowy smooth skin. 

Even Michelangelo would see this as a real piece of living art and would put his own work to shame. 

'Sorry about that, Michael, but this royal is absolutely stunning.' 

Zion can't help comparing himself as his inherited the traits from her deceased mother, but not that his complaining.

He has black hair with a tinge of blonde, making him more unique than his family. He also has brown eyes, different from his father and mother's golden and black eyes, maybe a combination or something he doesn't really know.

He also has a well-shaped body, but not as well as his father and brothers, who have demonstrated how well-shaped a body can be.

His father's body could be compared to Henry Cavill's, the actor who played Superman, and his brothers' bodies could be compared to the young Alexander Ludwig's, who played Bjorn in Vikings. 

They are so hot. I can't lie about that matter.

His father, Lionel Altaria, Ruler of the Terun Empire, was 48 years old. He had a well-refined body. His golden hair and long beard gave him the image of a lion. His aura was connected to the throne. He embodied pride and confidence in his strength, as if he had no equal in this world. 

As King Lionel sat on his golden throne, a lion's head showed itself, checking his father before disappearing and stabilizing the fluctuation of aura in the golden throne.

Tap, tap, tap... The royal family is also seated in their respective chairs, with Lionel's two wives sitting in his left and right corners, and the crown prince and the other three sitting on the left side where the king's second wife sits. 

Leo looked at Zion with a smirk on his face and in his eyes, saying that he didn't belong to the royal family and was an inferior and shameful member of the royals. 

Zion got a glimpse of the smirk and sinister eyes of Leo, but he didn't care as he was focusing on his father.  Today,  his life and death would be determined by his father. He was truly scared, but he couldn't show it. He was now Zion Altaria, not Zion Freese of the earth. 

Tap... tap, the royal announcer immediately stepped forward as he received the royal scroll to read the royal verdict of Zion. 

Bam... The royal announcer stepped in front and delivered the speech of the king.

"Silence. I will now read the verdict of His Majesty the King. 

Zion Altaria, As you are now of the right age, you are given a territory in the western city of   Aluptra   and will be named as the city lord of  Aluptra from now on." 

"Wait, what city of Aluptra? 

According to my memories, the city of Aluptra was one of the four biggest cities and one of the sources of income for the empire.

Because of its strategic location near harbors and arable land, it was not inferior to the other four big cities and even to the royal city when it came to finances and resources.' 

"Besides that, you will receive 100 platinum coins as your gift to the loving king." 

'What the? Are they serious right now?

How did that father even have the heart to give that sum of money?

According to my memories, the father of Zion is completely black on the inside. 

The owner of this body was set up for stealing, sentenced to four days imprisonment, and had become a punching bag for his caring and lovable brother and sister,

He didn't even show up to see Zion all this year as a father, and now in this instance he becomes a caring father.

Only a fool would believe that, and I'm not one of them. ' 

In the world of Arzenia, the currency is the following: 

The highest currency was platinum. 

1 platinum is equivalent to 100 gold. 1 gold coin is equivalent to 100 silver coins. 1 silver coin is equivalent to 100 copper coins. 

Copper coins are the lowest currency. 

"What are they planning?" 

Zion was now on high alert about the situation, as he knew something bad was going to happen. They were playing with him. 

That's when he remembered the eyes and smile of Leo a while ago. He really didn't care about that, but he felt bad not focusing on his big brother's sadistic smile. 

"Am I going to die?"

Even before dying, they still want to play with his mind.

"Any words before you receive your rewards, prince Zion Alteria?" 

"Tsk... Yes, I have one. Stop this ruse and get to the point. Why are we all here? " 

Zion glared at them, as he was angry not at himself but for playing the kid who had just died an hour ago. 

'Well, what a good ruler and father you are. Even in this situation, you are going to torment and play me for a fool. Well, too bad you just got to face an earthling who's at good in this ploy.'

Zion glared at them without any fear, shocking not only the audience but the king himself.
