"Mom and Dad!"
"I'm back, I'm back! Are you two here?!"
Zeke darted straight into his parents' Royal Court, completely disregarding any noble demeanor or elegant etiquette.
Those were for others to see; what did they have to do with his own parents?
Hearing Zeke's words, his parents immediately came out. Seeing Zeke's unkempt appearance, Anne stepped forward and hugged Zeke.
"Ezekiel is back! Where have you been these past few months? You ran so far to avoid the family's prayers, for a whole six months, and you didn't even contact your mother. Your mother missed you to death."
As she spoke, Anne stroked Zeke's head, her eyes full of concern for Zeke.
His father stood on the other side with a smile, watching the scene without saying a word.
Honestly, his family atmosphere truly surpassed that of other planetary Governors' houses in the Warhammer world.
His parents loved each other and doted on him considerably. Aside from some unchangeable things, he truly enjoyed their meticulous care.
There's a saying: a beautiful childhood can heal all sorrows.
The reason Zeke was able to persevere through the harsh various educations and noble etiquette of Warhammer was inseparable from his parents' love.
Otherwise, an adult facing such a terrifying education system as Warhammer would truly collapse.
Even if he had extreme talent, learning anything with just a glance, and even mastering subsequent things by analogy, he would still typically break down.
He wasn't a child with strong adaptability.
He was a person who already had a certain worldview, and such people often couldn't endure this kind of education.
A pair of loving parents gave him the ability to persevere.
The family of three hugged for a while. Feeling the family's love, Zeke, after a period of warmth with his parents, spoke like a child.
"Mom and Dad, I've prepared a gift for each of you. You'll love them.
I've been preparing them for a long time. These treasures consumed a lot of my colony's production capacity to create."
Zeke wouldn't hide the fact that he had acquired a colony from his parents, because there was no need. His parents truly loved him.
He believed his parents would absolutely not allow his colony to be incorporated into the Empire's rule at the very beginning.
After all, the Empire collects taxes. Even if their family had a seat on the High Lords Council and could use political means to pay a little less, they would still have to pay, right?
Why should his child's hard-earned enterprise pay taxes to the Empire from the start? Shouldn't the colony be allowed to develop well for a period first?
Zeke's thoughts were completely correct. When Grisha and Anne heard Zeke say that he had used a large amount of resources from his colony to create these items, neither of them cared about the colony Zeke had acquired.
Instead, they spoke with a hint of reproach.
"Ezekiel, your father is the high king, the head of a knight house. What is there that a person like him can't obtain? You still wasted your own little money to prepare gifts for us two. Wouldn't it be better to save that money and buy more things for yourself?"
Although mother's tone carried reproach, anyone could tell she was in a very pleasant mood, after all, these were things her son had respectfully given her.
Grisha smoothed things over for his son.
"Anne, don't blame Ezekiel. This rascal ran off but didn't forget to bring us gifts. How filial! We should be happy."
Watching his parents speak, the smile on Zeke's face never faded. However, after the three of them chatted for a while longer, Zeke didn't continue talking with his parents but instead directly brought out the gifts he had prepared.
Before anyone could react, two massive star-class giant battlesuits appeared behind Zeke!
Their huge 1000-meter-tall bodies stood within the Royal Court, almost like two colossal mountains.
Thanks to the Dominion's powerful anti-gravity engines and equipment, there was no sound when such gigantic mechanical battlesuits landed; they were directly teleported in.
Speaking of this, one couldn't help but marvel at the excellence of the Yaeger knight house's ancestors. It seemed they had foreseen something, as they built the Royal Court exceptionally tall.
The high king's Royal Court was the tallest among all the knight house Royal Courts, a full 1,000 meters high, and it was just one floor.
It was a single room, even equipped with large open spaces. Those open spaces were not directly made into various rooms but into lawns and gardens.
No one knew the meaning of such a design at the time. The family elder who designed this house at the time stated that it was to display the high king's grandeur, so it was specially made 1,000 meters high, and the furnishings inside also had to be luxurious enough to show their family's heritage.
To be honest, if the family didn't possess a large amount of blessings and relics from the Golden Age, it would not have been easy for the family to build such a house.
At the time, this house was criticized by many, but unexpectedly, 10,000 years later, it came in handy.
The two massive star-class giant battlesuits appeared within the Royal Court without piercing through the house. And the Yaeger couple, seeing these two gigantic knight titans, were stunned.
They had imagined what kind of gifts their son would bring them. They had thought of many, many things, but they had never imagined that their son would actually bring two gigantic knight titans!
Even as they looked at the massive giant battlesuits, a background sound effect appeared: three chimes of a large bell—
Divine Machine!
If there was anything else to say, the 1000-meter-tall star-class giant battlesuit was undoubtedly the most powerful Divine Machine.
Its height couldn't even be matched by an emperor-class titan.
An emperor-class titan was like a child in front of it, one a giant, the other a tiny infant.
Visually alone, it felt like an emperor-class titan would be effortlessly picked up with one hand and crushed in front of this gigantic mechanical battlesuit.
It was unimaginable what kind of earth-shattering tremor would occur when a titan of this caliber began its charge, and what kind of units could possibly intercept a titan of this level rampaging across the land.
How to describe his shock?
Grisha couldn't think of how to describe the shock he felt in his heart, but Zeke, standing before them, said with a smile,
"Mom and Dad, go try them out. These are the new knight titans I prepared for you—"
