Twenty men wearing colorful and luxurious suits appeared surrounding the flying vessel. They were all on extreme alert, getting ready to attack it.
As Bobby and Claire left the flying vessel, the men bowed and greeted them, "Welcome back, My Crown Prince!"
Bobby gestured his hand to stand straight up and he asked, looking at an old-looking man wearing a monocle glass. "Grand Elder John McCain, is my mother back yet?"
"Yes, her Majesty has returned after hearing of the visit you made here a few days ago. And I've been ordered to bring you to her chamber the moment you appear here. Please," Grand Elder McCain replied, and he waved elegantly.
Bobby unceremoniously walked inside the castle as he held Claire's hand, locking fingers with her.
Seeing the pair of white wings on Claire's back, one elder whispered, "Hmm, an angel! Is she going to be our princess consort?"
"Silence! Elder Ruskin, I know you mean no harm. But this is my last warning. Never be disrespectful to our crown prince and his people." Grand Elder John McCain scolded him.
Meanwhile, Bobby and Claire sauntered inside the castle and stopped just before Queen Chamber's majestic-looking door.
"Are you ready?" He asked with an amiable smile.
"Yes, I'm. As long as you are beside me, I will face whatever challenges I may face." Claire responded. And the two smile at each other.
"What're you waiting for? Get in!" A lady's voice shouted, coming from inside the Queen's Chamber.
Then Bobby walked inside the chamber, pulling Claire along with him.
"Ma, how have you been doing? And look, whom I've brought along with me today." Bobby said, beaming.
Mia hurried toward them and said in Porus while touching Claire's face, "Wow, you're beyond gorgeous! Can I catch your name?"
"Ma, she's called…." said Bobby.
But interrupted abruptly by Mia, "Zip your lips! I'm not asking you, son."
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Claire Sophia. And please, call me Claire." Claire responded.
"Oh, good! I'm Miabella! Alright, have a seat." Mia was all friendly with her and she made her seat on the couch and she sat beside her. She glanced at Bobby and said, "Son, prepare something for us. Leave us ladies for a few minutes."
Bobby made an awkward smile, and he rushed to the mess hall.
"Alright, since we are all alone, I'll come straight to the point. How did you two meet?" Mia bloviated, asking a barrage of questions at her. She was clearly excited to hear all about it.
Claire briefly retold their meeting in the Blue Lagoon Unit's territories and skipped all of their secret things.
"Oh, and I also brought a gift for you." She said and brought out a Red Spatial Beast's eye to Mia.
"Oh, a red pearl! It's so sweet of you." Mia said cheerfully, taking it.
"Mia, it's a Spatial Beast Eye. Please, infuse some of your Origin Chi and look into it." Claire corrected, explaining patiently.
"You mean there's a space inside this red pearl?" Mia asked with some doubt.
Claire nodded her head.
Then Mia infused her Origin Chi into the Spatial Beast's eye and the next thing, she was bewildered at seeing the wide space inside it. "Woah, it's really like a world inside here. Can I put anything inside here?"
"Yes, it's even better than the one Agent Loki has," Claire added. "This one is red, so the space inside is 1000 fold more spacious than the Purple one he has."
"Agent Loki?! You're referring to my son, right?" Mia asked.
"Um," Claire nodded her head.
By that time, Bobby had entered the guest room with some tea and cookies.
Then he sat down with all of them, and they enjoyed their breakfast.
"Ma, I'm here to ask something from you." Bobby took a sip of the tea and asked. He further added as Mia looked at him, "Those dreams have returned once again."
Mia was all worried as she frowned slightly.
"It's okay. I'm alright." Bobby said, and he continued, "Ma, this time. It's more vivid than those previous ones. I saw a man and a woman with a pair of black wings. I think they're my biological parents…. If there was anything you knew about them, please care to spill some bins?"
Mia stood up and reached for the nightstand and took out a small box and gave it to Bobby. "Sorry kiddo! It was Jeremy who introduced you to me eighteen years ago and only informed me you were his big brother's son, and we were going to bring you up. And he refused to tell me anything further about you and your real biological parents. That's the only thing Jeremy left with me and told me to give to you the moment you began asking about your biological parents."
She added, "Perhaps the contents inside the box have the things that you're looking for, an answer regarding them."
Bobby opened the small box, and he saw a strange-looking pen with a sharp edge, five bottles containing red fluid, and a pendant. He inspected the five bottles and mushed, "What're these potions? What's the meaning of these?"
"I know what they are?" Mia said while looking sternly at the bottles as she sniffed the air multiple times. And she continued, "They're the blood of Dragons and Phoenixes. But I don't have a clue why those bottles are in there, too."
"Hmm," Bobby placed them back in the small box. Then he picked and observed the pendent. But he found nothing he could find about his biological parents. With a thought, he activated his ocular skill as his eyes Scintillated purple and scanned the pendant, using X-Ray Vision.
His vision first penetrated the 1st layer of the pendant. He saw a picture of the man and the woman that looked exactly like he envisioned in his dream. And he whispered, "I'm right. They are my biological parents."
And then his vision further bored into the next, which was the core of the pendant. He saw a strange, humanoid creature. And the first thing that came to his mind was the Satan he saw in his previous trial of Satanification. The creature was snoring but the moment his vision landed on it, it spoke in an ire voice, "Scam, you pest!"
The next thing, his portion of the consciousness used for vision was hurled out of the pendant.
Bobby's consciousness returned to his body but two long tears of blood rolled down to his cheeks from his eyes and he screamed in his mind, 'What in the Jove's name is that thing?! Hmm, whoever or whatever you are the next time we meet I'm going to pay you back in three-fold.'
