Meanwhile in Svero, Wilson and Elsie had rested for half a day, since there were about eight hours between the time zones.
Getting off the plane, they’d stopped right in the king’s palace airport.
After that, Wilson and Elsie had passed through layer after layer of security, clearly showing that they weren’t carrying any weapons.
The process took almost an hour. After all the procedures were done, the royal guard allowed them a brief respite inside the palace lounge.
Wilson couldn’t rest easy with Elsie in another room, so Wilson decided to live out of the same room with her.
Of course, each of them had a bed of their own. The space was luxurious, with a lavish living room, an enormous bathroom, and several gigantic beds. A family of four could have lived out of here and had enough space to themselves.
It was still midnight when they bedded down and the king couldn’t have come to see them at this time. Besides, the flight had been too tiring, and it was just right for a good night’s sleep.
The people there treated them with every courtesy. After making sure they didn’t present any danger, the servants and the staff inside the palace grew as polite towards them as possible.
Wilson and Elsie slept for six whole hours, and at eight in the morning in Svero, Wilson woke, showered, and put on Sveran clothes.
He spoke Sveran himself, and after getting up, he called for room service. The Sveran staff came in, and Wilson spoke.
“Can you prepare an Eastern-style breakfast?”
“Of course. What would you like?”
Wilson knew that Elsie liked to have buns in the morning. He didn’t know if they could make it inside the palace, but with how rich the king of Svero was, he probably had chefs from every culture there was.
After he ordered breakfast, the staff grinned.
“We have several five-star Eastern chefs in the kitchen preparing. His Majesty regularly invites people from your country as business guests for negotiation. Don’t worry, your tastes will be satisfied.”
The person speaking was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She looked polite and treated them courteously. Luckily, Wilson knew Sveran himself, so they spoke fluently enough with each other without the need of a translator.
After having the staff prepare breakfast, Wilson went to two other rooms. He hadn’t come alone with Elsie. He’d brought several negotiators and trusted personnel. There were eight of them all together. The other six were living in two other rooms, three in each. All men. Elsie was the only woman.
“Boss, is the missus still sleeping?”
When Wilson went to ask about the situation for those ones, a built man asked the question. Everyone in the team knew that Elsie was the missus now.
Wilson chuckled at his underling.
“She’s still sleeping. I’ve left instructions for the people over here to ready breakfast. They have Eastern chefs here. I’m guessing that after breakfast, the king’s people will come see us. Wise up and observe what’s going on in this palace. It might be safe for the king himself, but be careful. Don’t shrink, but don’t start trouble.”
“Don’t worry, boss. We’ll be cautious.”
After commanding his own men, Wilson went back to his room and saw Elsie, having gotten dressed.
“Where have you been? Scared me half to death. I didn’t see anyone in your room and was about to go out and look for you.”
The moment Wilson walked in, Elsie grabbed his hand worriedly.
