Chapter 140: Snobby brats

3rd person view

In front of the Artian castle, commoners were protesting, some even tried to barge past the knights but were forcefully held down.

"Spoiled nobles! We work so hard for you, and you repay us by kicking us out, just because we're better than you! The ones we should deem as a threat are all of you!" One shouted

"Yeah, my child was talented and made his way to the academy, he was loyal to no end. But he killed himself due to the constant harassments that this kingdom ignores. We want bright future for our kids!" a woman shouted with tears in her eyes

"Down with nobility" they all shouted

"How should we deal with the protestors, your majesty?" A knight asked

"Let them be, if we attack or chase any of them away, it'll be like adding fuel to the fire" the king replied while rubbing his forehead "But use force if necessary if they try to go past our line of guards or if the protest is no longer peaceful, but only hold them down or knock them out killing is absolutely forbidden unless you are given direct permission from me"

"Yes, your majesty" The knight then rushed out of the room

"Is it stressful, father?" Charlotte asked concerned "If it is, rest for today, I can take over"

"It's fine" he answered "Protest or not, we have to solve the problem before the inter-academies competition or we'll look bad. We don't want it to happen like the last one, we lost a lot of people that day, if it wasn't for the 2 dragons, some of our own professors would have been lost as well, how's Castor and his mission to find the descendants?"

"No luck" Charlotte shook her head " But he did received an anonymous letter, that's why he left. The letter stated that one of the descendants is named Oz."

"It could just be a lie, you know, we get all those fake evidences all the time" the king suggested

"That may be so, but Castor mentioned that it was the closest clue that he's going to get, and since the first phoenix took the king's first name, Castor is now getting more help searching for an Oz Magus"

"How is Eleanor doing?"

"She is currently practicing for the competition, she got qualified for the vice captain title for the junior team. Albert Golds got the title of captain for the junior team while Elliot Von Albertson leads the senior team"

"I expect no less from the 2 of them, contact Count Golds, I want to hire Albert to be one of my personal bodyguards"

"Isn't he too young?"

"Well that's why we train him in his prime, I'm gathering all the top mages and knights back to the kingdom, I'll be creating a newer and much stronger special squad" The king said as he got up

"C'mon, say it" Cordelia said as she keeps poking my cheek

-Yeah, say it, Perseus, you never said it to anyone apart from us- Diana added

-I said it a few times in my past life-

-That doesn't count- She argued

"I-love-you, happy?"

"Say it with more emotion, I'm supposed to be your girlfriend during the trip so that one one there won't hit on me"

"Like I said, if they do, I'll beat them up, it's not that hard"

"There are kids here, including you" she pointed to the twins "Mind your language"

"And here you are, flirting with one, your point?"

"You are too smart with your comebacks, we should give you more free time to relax instead of working hard all the time"

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that, I already got other people to do my tasks as I laze around, though after this trip, my teacher tasked me and his other student to go look for something, I should mostly be free after that"

"Is that other student the nymph?" Cordelia asked

"No"

We then got into the kingdom and it took us a while before we arrive at this giant mansion.

"Remember Cordelia, hide your identity as a princess, they're gonna try and suck up to you if you don't" Uncle John reminded "And possibly try to hide their true nature, we'll just show them Perseus, Oliver and Emily, have some small talk and we'll leave and explore this kingdom a bit"

"I know, now let's go meet my boyfriend's infamous grandparents" She winked at me

-Well let's hope that they won't make us angry enough to use spatial magic to erase their entire house-

-But being a criminal in 2 nation doesn't sound bad, more enemies to fight- Ace responded

*****

-I can already tell by the looks of their faces, they don't like us at all-

''Our cousin is the infamous laughing demon? It's just like nana said, among our Amana family, our 2 uncles are the worst at discipline" one of my cousins said

"Shut up, he can hear you, I heard he's not even human anymore, he's a bloodsucking vampire, he's gonna kill you if he heard you" another one shushed him

"I don't want to associate with him" the third one joined in "I heard that Artia put a bounty on him, what despicable thing did he do to have a bounty on him?"

"Maybe that dragon of his isn't actually a bond?" the first one suggested "I mean, a commoner befriending a dragon? Unheard of, he probably forced a slave crest onto that dragon and they found out, a majestic beasts like a dragon would only befriend us of noble status"

"Yeah, what's next, he befriends a phoenix too?" the third one laughed before being joined by the others

-If they realize that I can hear them, why do they keep talking? Dumb, snobby brats-

-Well you definitely are blood related considering that they're also idiots- Dabria responded -Though you are slightly smart-

-You...complimented me, you really did warmed up to me, won't be long till you actually join my harem, Nova would then be my brother in law-

-I'm not even gonna say anything because if I do, we would just be repeating the same conversation- Dabria sighs

"These 2 are still young, it's not too late like that one over there" Grandma pointed at me "Leave these 2 with me John, we'll raise them properly as proper nobles"

"I'm not leaving Oliver and Emily with you here, mom" Uncle John retorted "We're happier without you, and I'm a proper adult now, I no longer need to listen to your orders"

"You've definitely been tainted by those commoner's filth after mother disowned you, John" A guy voice cut in "Maybe we will have to teach you both lessons like the old days"
