The prophecy ?

"What are you thinking?" Raven asked as both Raven and Ravel woke up and saw Blake in a daze.

"Just checking my status" Blake broke out of the daze and said.

Suddenly the door was kicked opened by Eira with in a really angry but also with a little bit of worried expression.

"Blake Starling, you need to do some explaining here! " Eira said in a cold and commanding tone.

Blake explained to them everything and tried his best to calm Eira down.

Only after Eira calmed down had he sigh in relief.

A few minutes later a Bulky Man with a small white beard entered the room.

He was Aaron Phoenix the Duke.

'[Appraisal]' Blake used appraisal on the Duke

Name: Aaron Phoenix

Occupation: Duke

title: Unknown

System rank: unknown

Level: unknown

...

'It seems like my level is way lower than him' Blake thought.

"You must be Blake Starling I presume." He said with a pressure in his voice.

The Duke produced a pressure directly on that was enough to make even a common rank level 19 fall to his knees.

"Yes, I am Blake Starling." Blake said without even caring about the pressure he was experiencing. He hand many resistance skill that made this kind of pressure almost non-existant.

"Oh, how interesting, My name is Aaron Phoenix and I am the duke." Duke Aaron said and added more pressure. This time even a common rank level 20 would fall down. One had to know that there was a big difference between level 19 and 20 as there was a huge boost in stats and even gained new abilities related to their system.

This time the floor beneath Blake started cracking and he suffered a bit but he was still standing straight. Blake's willpower was strong enough to endure this much pain easily.

"Dad!" both Raven and Ravel shouted.

Aaron retreated the pressure and said, "Sorry I was just testing him to see if he was good enough to be my son-in-law."

"W-what a-are you saying." Both Raven and Ravel said in unison with a flushed face.

"Haha, your joking right?" Blake said with a weird expression.

Aaron looked at him with a smirked face.

"You are joking right?" this time Blake said with a slightly serious expression.

"In our Phoenix family there is a prophecy" Aaron said with a serious expression.

"A prophecy?" everyone in the room except Aaron said in unison. It seems like even Raven and Ravel didn't know about it.

"Yes, a prophecy it says, 'When a twin shall be born, the Phoenix's bloodline will be divided, one shall be light the other shall be dark, the dark shall awaken faster than the light and she shall suffer. On the third awakening of the dark, a mysterious lad with no fate or destiny shall appear and it shall devour the dark and she shall be able to control the dark with the lad's assistance. After the dark the light shall awakened the lad shall again assist the twin and she shall control the light too. The lad shall awakened the supreme phoenix's power with the help of the twins..." Aaron said with taking few breaks in the middle.

"..."

Everyone was silent for a while.

"How does this relate to the marriage then?" Eira asked anxiously.

"It doesn't stop there, the continuation says, 'The twins shall fall for the lad and the lad shall too fall for the twins, they shall be engaged and the twins shall become one of the wives of the lad.' " Aaron said.

"What do you mean by 'one of the wives do you have more than one wife?" Eira asked while turning towards Blake.

"How will I know!" Blake shook is head and said.

"Well there you have it, there should have been more to this prophecy but the other text are all blurted out." Aaron said.

Blake got a huge suprise from the prophecy,no fate or destiny? power of Supreme Phoenix? multiple wives? Everything came as a surprise to Blake.

"I did a little research on you while you were unconscious and just as the prophecy says you are really mysterious, you awaken just yesterday and you were able to defeat someone 14 levels above you and there is no information about you except that you lived alone near the outskirts." Aaron said.

Blake was speechless by how fast the Duke's information network was.

"But shouldn't you be against the marriage as it says I will have multiple wife?"

"Huh? why should I? Polygamy is common you know." Aaron said and added, "even I have 3 wives you know."

Of course Blake knew that, but as a Duke shouldn't he have more pride and make a ridiculous demand?

"look kid I don't know what you are thinking but I know that you are someone who will never betray a comrade and you treat others equally" Aaron said with a huge smile.

"Huh? how are you so sure?" Blake asked with a confused face.

"Its because I can see other people's true nature through [Personality check] an ability of mine" Aaron said in a proud tone.

"But I am still 16 and I don't wanna get married yet!" Blake said.

"Of course you are not getting married now, It is just an engagement" Aaron said.

"What about you two, aren't you against the engagement?" Blake said while turning towards Raven and Ravel.

"I don't mind" Both of the said in unison and turned away.

'???, Whats with these two' Blake was not good at this type of stuff.

Blake was a tall, handsome, had a well built body and was kind and caring but he was never good at romance. He was never approached by any girls because Eira, 'The Snow Princess' was always by his side and likewise no male approached Eira because of Blake.

"No I object!" Eira shouted after she couldn't hold back anymore.

"Oh why is it so?" Aaron asked already knowing their relationship was not that simple.

"Be-because-because..." Eira was really too embarrassed to say it.

"Because what?" Aaron asked with a mischievous smile.

"Because I love him!" Eira said as she tried to hide his face.

"Huh is this a confession?" Blake's face was red as tomato after hearing what Eira said just now.

"Then what about this, three of you will be engaged to Blake and if any of you change your mind you can break the engagement" Aaron said as if he had already planned for this.

"We accept!" The three girls in unison.

"What about you Blake?" Aaron asked.

"Uh... Ok i guess" Blake said with hesitation.

"What do you not want to be engaged to us" Raven asked.

"No its not that... its just too sudden and we just met yesterday" Blake said with hesitation.

"It's ok I fell for you at first sight" Raven said with red cheeks.

"M-me too I fell for you when you saved me" Ravel said with a blush.

Blake turned towards Eira and looked as if expecting her to say something.

"I already said that I love you haven't I what more do you expect?" Eira said with her face full red.

"Ok i accept but if you are not satisfied with me please do tell me" Blake said with confidence.

"Of course" the girls said in unison.

"now that you all have accepted it the engagement is successfully completed" Aaron said.

"I will suggest you to Alvarna Academy's headmaster since you will be going to a school soon."

"Huh, Alvarna Academy!!!" Blake and Eira shouted with excitement.
