Chapter 80: Confronting the Family

♫Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...♫

The television was playing some nursery rhymes. The main attraction here though were Duck and Summer. Both of them were made to wear cute little fairy clothes and they were happily jumping around.

*Clap* *Clap*

Grace was clapping for them too. Chad was also made to wear a fairy dress but he was being lazy.

"QUACK"

"HOOOO..."

Magnus smiled after seeing the exchange. Grace noticed him and said, "Why didn't you tell me there were two owls in your room."

The smile from Magnus's face vanished. "Ah... Mummy... Duck is not an Owl. He's a baby dragon."

-_-

♫Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are♫

"No wonder he looked so strange," Grace exclaimed.

"THERE IS A DRAGON?!" Bobby suddenly shouted in excitement and ran towards Duck, who was shaking his body around to the music.

Bobby picked Duck up and hugged him like a teddy bear. Duck also fist gave a hug but then got annoyed.

"QUACK"

"Bobby, let him go," Ragnar warned him.

"RAAAAA..."

"AAAAAA..." Bobby cried as his shirt was burnt by Duck.

"See, that's why it is never good to hug a dragon... especially when it's a baby," Magnus said and helped Bobby.

"THAT WAS SO COOL..." Bobby did not mind being burnt at all.

"How big will he get when he grows up?" He asked further, again trying to hold Duck, but Duck ran into the arms of Grace like a frightened kitty.

"Umm, he'll be big enough to swallow this whole house in one go," Magnus replied.

"Really? But he looks so cute and... Little..." Grace said while looking at Duck closely.

"Of course, his growth spurt is going to be crazy. Summer, meanwhile, is going to stay like this. She's already a beautiful adult owl." Magnus revealed.

"Yes yes, Summer is beautiful." Grace dotted on all the animals like they were her own children. They too felt a deep connection of Grace with Magnus, so they liked her back.

"Magnus... When Duck grows up, you gotta let me ride on his back once." Bobby requested.

Magnus agreed, "Of course, I will. We will all go on a picnic on his back."

"Where did you even find him? Aren't they very dangerous beasts?" Grace asked all of a sudden.

Magnus nodded, "Yes, they are class 5 beasts, the most dangerous ones. But dragons are different. They are very intelligent beasts, so, creating a bond with them is easier."

~Expecially for me~ he muttered to himself.

"Where is dad?" He asked.

"He went out for some work, he'll be back by the evening," Grace replied.

Magnus sighed and confronted her, "Mummy, what do you think about me? Am I different from other kids?"

"Of course, honey. You are so smart and kind." Grace said.

"Then you should know that you can't always hide it from me. You and dad don't have jobs and are going out to give interviews... Right?" He finally said it.

Grace released Duck and Summer to go somewhere else to play and looked at Magnus. Her eyes filled up. Magnus was right, she and Adam knew him the best and yet they thought they could hide it. Maybe they were just desperate and a little ashamed as parents.

"Mag, sweetie... We were going to tell you... I'm so sorr..."

Before she could say it, Magnus did, "I'm sorry, mummy. It's happening because of me."

Words were left stuck in Grace's mouth. She had thought she'd need to tell Magnus and try not to make him angry.

"WHAT? What are you saying, sweetie? How could you be the reason? Don't blame yourself for something you didn't do." She said in a comforting voice.

"I know what I am saying, mum. Just wait a little for dad to come. I will tell you together." Magnus persisted.

"You're scaring mummy now," Grace muttered.

"Umm... I should go, Mag." Bobby voiced.

"Why? You already know everything. Besides, Ragnar is here, and I will also need someone to keep an eye on Duck." Magnus stopped him.

Hearing him, Bobby started intently at Duck. Duck as if felt the gaze, ran away and hid behind Chad.

Magnus waited till evening for his father to come. Then finally, in the evening, Adam returned. He still had a saddened face, he was most likely again rejected.

But, as soon as he saw Magnus, he forced a smile on himself. Though it stopped when he saw a worried face of Grace.

"Honey, he knows and said it's happening because of him," Grace revealed.

Adam was confused and shocked. He turned to Magnus and asked, "W... How?"

Magnus took a very long breath, "Okay, for you to understand everything, you should know what the book of acceptance is..."

"... I inherited the great Wizard Merlin Emrys and the dragon king, Arthur Pendragon. It happened on the night I was lost. The tree I talked about seeing that day was actually planted by Merlin, waiting for the perfect inheritor. It chose me... Now, I am the person with the highest and truest claim to the British throne... The royal family knows, due to a curse left by Merlin..." Magnus spoke all about his bloodline and told them why it was the truth.

"I also inherited all their properties, along with the kingship and castles, their vaults. Those vaults have such wealth that you don't have to work ever and can easily live in a 5-star hotel for the rest of your lives.

"What happened to you was done by Queen's husband, the prince. That is why you can't get jobs in the private industry either. But... I have solved everything now, no need to worry... Come with me, I will get you to meet Arthur and Merlin."

Grace and Adam were left speechless.

...

Buckingham palace

Moody had dropped the letter in the hands of a royal butler. He would give it directly to the queen. Moody hated doing this, but he entertained Magnus for what he did for him that day in Diagon Alley.

Magnus could have let him face the killing curse if he wanted and he would have died that day. But Magnus held his ground and saved his life. He was never going to forget such an act of bravery. He wanted the future of Britain in the hands of someone like Magnus and was satisfied to give this letter.

At that moment, the queen was with her husband, the prince, in the royal office. She was discussing the matter of Magnus and the letter arrived at the same time.

She looked at the wax seal on it and frowned. It was a royal seal, but instead of having the letter E, it had the letter M. She immediately used the letter opener and read it silently.

*BAM*

She fell to the floor, her face had turned white in fright. She looked at her husband angrily, "I TOLD YOU!... WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIS FAMILY?"

"What are you saying? I..." the Prince was confused. He took the letter and also read it. Soon, he had the same reaction.

"I did nothing too much... just... applied a little pressure..."

"WHAT DID YOU DO? OUT WITH IT... NOW!" the queen's eyes were red in anger.

"I put MI6 on it and... made it so they could not find a job anywhere..." he revealed.

*BAM* She slammed her fist on the table.

"I specifically ORDERED you not to do anything without my approval... YOU HAVE DOOMED THIS FAMILY. You were never the smart one in the family, were you? All these medals have made you too proud, it seems. Now I have to clean up your mess." She was raging.

"Calm down, dear. Your blood suga..."

"AAAAH... I can't believe this is happening. You destroyed our relations with him before we could even make them. I HAD A PLAN! I was going to offer them amazing jobs, make his parents feel indebted to the crown, but now they will HATE us.

"I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE. GET OUT!"

She was shivering in anger and also fear, veins popped out on her temple. She felt on edge these days, now she knew why. She was so close to having her whole bloodline dying because of her husband's actions.

She felt like crying but held her tears back and got herself to sit on a chair. In front of her table was a photo frame. A picture of her younger self... with King George VI, her father."

She held the photo in her hand and caressed it. Finally, a tear fell on the glass frame, "What should I do, papa? Will he forgive us? I wouldn't have if I was him... but..."

*Sniff*

[A/N: The crown cannot completely control or order around the Army, Government, Police and MI6. They just have some powerful pawns in key places for them to use. The elected government's high officials know about it but turn a blind eye as it's related to the crown.

Also, once again, rest in peace Prince Philip.]

[IMPORTANT NOTICE: Hello, just wanted to tell everyone that for the next 4 days, there will be 1 Chapter a day. I will be travelling and doing some other important stuff. My brother's marriage is coming soon and I will be busy with it. I will try to upload 2 chaps whenever possible.]
