I’m the King Of Technology - Chapter 1798: Julian's Night Adventures

The night was getting old, but the young Julian still couldn’t sleep. ‘So father really wants to leave without me? Impossible! Not on my watch!’ Father, forgive him for his disobedience just this once. Julian secretly thought, while sliding down the sides of his bed and rolling to an even darker corner for cover. And then, like a thief in the night, leaned against the walls, blending with the darkness until he reached his massive walk-in closet space. Phew~

Luckily, he was quick to grab one of those fine Baymardian flashlights presented as a gift several days back. “Your Highness?” A distant sound made the 7-year-old Julian feel his scalp tingle. Crud! He turned off the torch switch and quickly headed back to his main room into his bed with light stealth movements. “Your Highness?” A guard appeared in the space through the window, looking through the scene before heading toward Julian’s bed with a confused look. “That’s odd… didn’t I see light just now?” The guard murmured, staying in wait for a while before leaving Julian’s room after seeing he was fast asleep. Bubuum. Bubuum~

Julian’s heart almost jumped out of his chest when the guard leaned too close to him. He feared he would be caught, but thankfully, his Luck was too good.  After another 45 minutes, Julian rose to resume his mission. ‘Brother Landon-oh said that the third button is a dim-option. The light is too bright. I must dim it to the lowest.’ If one has held a hairdryer before, one will see the numerical numbers I, II, and III on some hair dryer machines. Today’s world isn’t like the safe modern era. People wanted flashlights but also didn’t want something that said: hey, this is me, assassins, come kill me now.

When the torch is put on its setting is at IV. But to lower it, press any buttons beside the numerical numbers III, II, and I.

The lowest setting is ‘I’ which made it so dim that it didn’t reflect out light to your surroundings, alerting people far away. ‘Want to leave without me? Don’t even think about it!’

Julian frowned with a determined look on his face, packing his most liked pants, shirts and jackets in the new fancy Baymardian travel bag he also took. Well, it was amazing that it had rollable wheels, but now he didn’t need to use it since he was on a stealth mission. And for the love of the wind God… where are his other suitcases he captured? Where did they put them? Julian opened and closed his mouth in worry.

“Could Father have stolen them?”

If Tacholla knew his words, he would definitely beat this son of his to a pulp. Who exactly stole from who here? Were those suitcases Julian’s in the first place?.

Very quickly, Julian packed his luggage for the first time in his life, poaching it like a kid who was about to run away from him. He quickly packed a few clothes, rolling them up like meatballs. Following that, he placed his new Gameboy and a few very important Baymardian Gadgets he felt he might die without. His only worry was the TV. He liked it but it was just too big to take along. Sigh… Toothbrush, toothpaste, socks, underwear… These days, he has gotten a hang of these daily essential Baymardian products. Although he was 7 years old, because of how big his green Orc-like people are, Julian had the height of a standard 11-year-old. He was really big. Well, at least not as big as the giants who at the age of 7, had the height of a 13-year-old. Welp, now that his things were packed, Julian’s biggest challenge was to get himself and his suitcase to the nearest Baymardian aircraft and find a way to sneak in. Yes! If they leave Mirvanna and realize he is aboard the flying carriages several hours later, they will have no choice but to continue with him in their care! Bahahahahaha~

It was brilliant! His plan was indeed ingenious if he did say so himself. (^∆^)

Julian felt like giving himself a pat on the back, but could only save his celebration for later. ‘Now that the celebration is still underway, although some have gone to bed, didn’t they say it’s a celebration from night to morning?’ Julian thought hard, ‘Most of the guards should be patrolling the celebration site. So if I can sneak through the blah, blah, blah and get over to the blah, blah, blah… then I’m in!’

Julian suddenly felt he was Ethan Hawke in Mission Possible. After watching that awesome Baymardian Spy movie, Julian felt he could even touch the skies. Knowing someone might be watching not too far away outside his window, Juliian knew he could only use his secret passageway to exit. Thankfully, he had told the guards and the maids that he wouldn’t be leaving his room tomorrow before Lunch time. He told them under no circumstance must they come to his room to disturb him… not even for his morning meal! His excuse was that he had eaten too much during the festivities and didn’t need any breakfast.

He also told his mother to please leave him alone until lunchtime. Hey… the Baymardians leave at 10 Am on the dot. So by lunchtime, he would be long gone. “Alright, time to go.”

Pushing a peculiar stone on the wall, Julian was quickly met with a new secret stairway. Stepping through, he waited for the wall behind him to close before turning on his flashlight. Now, it was no longer dimmed.

This time, he was no longer cautious but chose to run at full speed. He ran and ran, passing and twisting through several stairways and passageways, until he reached a secret exit in his father’s private Gardens. This was the closest he was to any aircraft around the palace. With his head popped out between bushes, he continued making his stealthy moves, advancing, retreating and hiding when necessary. “Hey, did you hear something?”

“Come on, aren’t you being too serious? I don’t hear anything at all.” Talks like this would go on wherever he passed, but no one discovered him. Muscles tensed, sweat covering his forehead, butterflies churning in his belly… Julian felt his senses heightened like never before. Fear, anxiety and excitement were all wrapped up in one when stealthily plunging forward like an assassin’s dagger. Can he feel it? Yes, he could. He could feel his muscles swell with determination after spotting an aircraft not too far away. Julian looked at the aircraft and was taken aback. Hah… Hahahahahhahah~

He covered his mouth to stop his giggling when thinking of his amazing luck. Up ahead, Landon-oh was talking to 2 Mirv guards who also had sealed cardboard boxes in their hands. “Thank you all for your help. Those are the last of them. I will lead you forward with the boxes and return soon to close the aircraft… Is it safe to keep its doors open out here?”

The Mirvs nodded vigorously, “Your Majesty Landon, it is! You are in the royal palace, so no one dared to do anything to your aircraft!” “Good.” Julian was even more ecstatic when seeing Big Brother Landon-oh take on another box and lead the Mirv guards forward.

Gakkakakakakkaka~

Julian’s happy laugh was very similar to Bilthozar’s. Gakkakakakkakaka~

Julian’s eyes were twinkling jewels when he saw the heavenly-arranged scene before him. Damn, it must be the Wind God that opened the path for him. (>∆<)

Oops… Julian jumped back into the bushes after seeing Landon pause his steps and abruptly throw his head his way. “Your Majesty Landon, what’s the matter?”

Landon shook his head as if overthinking things, “Nothing. I just think your garden walls are pretty.” So close!

Julian crawled to take a peak, with his hand on his chest. Phew~

Almost got him there. Julian also felt a burst of accomplishment, knowing he was so awesome and smart to be able to avoid so many guards undetected. ‘Big brother Landon-oh said he will return after dropping the box, so I have to move fast!’

With that thought, Julian jumped over the waist-length garden walls, making a run for the aircraft as fast as he could. 1, 2, 3… Success! He jumped in with his luggage and was quick to go right at the back. Of course he wasn’t stupid to stay at the front. He saw several seats, which he would later know were designed like commercial airlines. This aircraft was a 60-seater aircraft with 3 rows. And behind those seats was a bathroom and surprisingly, another compartment with all sorts of storage frames with luggage already in them. Yes! Earlier today, everyone who was going had sent the Baymardians their luggage.

Everyone was only allowed to bring at most 2 pieces of luggage of certain sizes. They were told what sort of things they should bring. Money was good, clothes they thought were good and anything that would make them think of home. But no heavy objects were allowed, except swords that were taken and locked in storage trunks.

Of course, everyone could travel with their safety daggers in their boots that were still in their protective sheath. With all luggage packed, Julian didn’t mind, looking for a space and securing his luggage just like the other luggage beside his. After figuring that out, he took out a dark blanket, found an inconspicuous corner and began blending in. But before he could adjust his breathing, he heard Landon-oh’s voice, followed by the sounds of the aircraft’s doors closing shut. Bam! –silence–

Another 30 minutes went by before Julian finally went to bed with a Victorious smirk on his lips. Gaakakkakakakak~

Want to leave without him? Think again!

Zzzzzz~

Little Julain was sound asleep, sleeping so deeply that he didn’t even notice when Landon, Tacholla and several others came up, adjusted his position and laughed inwardly.

Child… you are too young to fool anyone.
