"What do you think the young master will be like?" A young girl dressed in luxurious white clothes with a cute baby face and cute blonde ponytailed hair faced her big sister as she asked excitedly.
The older lady looked more dignified in the same set of luxurious white clothes. She had that serious no-nonsense look on her face but she still answered.
"He'll be like the other young masters; how else do you want him to be?"
"Hmm, so uninventive like usual". The young girl pouted.
"I bet he'll be a prince charming, full of wisdom and charm, eloquent, confident, and with a charisma that can win every female heart".
The older lady only gave her the eye before shaking her head, causing the blonde-haired young girl to pout again and stick her tongue out.
At this moment, the entourage from the Ancient Carter Family all the way from the Golden Oar Great Shelter were on their way to the King Resistance Shelter where the family radar pinpointed a new inheritor.
This was a cause of good news for the family as this inheritor did not just awaken the Big-boned bloodline, but he awakened the purer version of it.
The last person to awaken the purer Big-boned bloodline was the grandfather of the current patriarch of the family who was now retired and was resting in the elders' chambers.
The beautiful middle-aged lady who was the leader of this entourage was a direct member of the Ancient Carter Family, her name was Charlotte. The younger girl beside her was her niece, Anne.
According to what the family radar sent back; the boy was from a sub-branch of the family that came from her branch. This was why she was given the task to go fetch him to take him to his rightful place to enjoy his inheritance.
Though her niece was enthusiastic to meet this genius who awakened the purer Big-boned bloodline, she didn't quite feel the same.
In history, the few individuals with the purer Big-boned bloodline were those with the greatest exploits.
They were the strongest and most influential, but they all had one common trait, they were the most eccentric and were the brawn-over-brain type.
She hoped that this Ben was not as extreme as the others that she had seen.
…
Principal Dominic welcomed royal guests from afar.
The 2 mystic Pegasus that pulled the royal mechanical chariot from afar was the first sign that indicated the identity of these guests. And the drawing of 2 big bones grinding against each other on the mechanical chariot confirmed it.
Having been waiting for their arrival patiently, Principal Dominic gave his guests the best reception that he and his academy could afford.
While he attended to them, Ben was sent for.
Mrs. Charlotte did not beat around the bush as she quickly laid down the motive of their arrival. Having expected it before now, Principal Dominic was all smiles throughout as he accepted everything that they said.
Well, they didn't go overboard, only asking for simple requests like Ben's record in Obedin City to be wiped out and a lot of other minor demands.
When Ben finally came, he faced the Principal and a bunch of strange faces. He was puzzled and trust Ben, the principal was na?ve if he thought he could make him guess who these guests were through hand and eye signs.
"Um…, nice to meet you, Ben, I'm Mrs. Charlotte".
"Oh, nice to meet you too beautiful lady, your dress looks luxurious".
Mrs. Charlotte smiled. "Thanks for the compliment Young Master, we are from the Ancient Carter family in the faraway Golden Oar Great Shelter".
"Like you may have guessed, you awoke a powerful bloodline that connects you to our family. Our patriarch sent us to come to invite you to get your full inheritance at home where you can fulfill your full potential".
"…"
For 2 full minutes, Ben stood staring at the beautiful woman before him with one eye raised like she just spoke a bunch of jargon. "You for real?"
"Um, Ben, what she means is". Principal Dominic tried to intrude and properly explain but Ben yelled the next moment as the principal almost jumped in fright.
"I'm a f*cking Prince?!"
"Woah! Damn bro, I always told Rex that I was special, hahaha!"
Mrs. Charlotte tried to speak but Ben was faster. "So, are you my mom? No, I have a mom already, my stepmom?"
"Woah, what of this beautiful young lady right here, your name sweetheart?"
"Miss Anne".
"Anne, what a beautiful name". Ben laughed aloud. "You know, I once read of royalty preparing brides for their inheritors when they finally find them".
"Hehe, is this my bride?"
"…"
Black lines filled Principal Dominic's face as his student said all this. He felt like smacking Ben to the netherworld but he could not, he could only grit his teeth.
"Ha…" Mrs. Charlotte laughed awkwardly. "If a bride is what you want, that can be arranged at home, so is that a yes from you?"
"Damn right! I've always wanted to laze at home while my dad prepares my bride for me, what a fulfilling life that'll be".
"Since Rex and Cassandra left, I've been so f*cking lonely here, perhaps this is a setup by God to spice up my life a bit, spicy!"
Mrs. Charlotte could feel sweat running down her face despite the ventilation as she looked at Ben. The big-boned bloodline really produced another freak, she could already feel a headache coming for the return trip.
Instead of discussing with Ben further, she rather discussed with Principal Dominic. Unlike what she expected, everything went smoothly and they soon left.
Having been in situations where the inheritors were reluctant to leave their city to go to a distant shelter and start a new life, Mrs. Charlotte's eyes were definitely opened by the personality of this knuckle-headed freebie.
…
A few hours later, the pair of Pegasus crossed a long distance as the entourage finally returned to the Golden Oar Great Shelter.
Once they returned, Mrs. Charlotte escorted the inheritor to the royal court to meet the patriarch. On the way, she made sure to educate him about the etiquette needed to be observed before the patriarch.
Despite how much she spoke, she was still worried if any of them settled on this boy's head, she could only hope for the best.
Once they stood before the patriarch, the patriarch finally got to personally validate that Ben was the real deal.
"Welcome to the Ancient Carter family, boy".
"From today, like everyone here, I am your father and you are my son".
"Coming from a great distance away and settling in a new region entirely is hard, this is why you have family members, they will help you unconditionally to settle into the family. This, I promise!"
"I was told that you were enthusiastic about coming here, I am happy about that but to really show you our familial bonds, ask me 1 favor and I'll do it for you".
"Do you have anything that you want me to do for you?"
At this moment, no matter how carefree he was, Ben already recognized that he was before a bigshot of the mystic world so he made reasonable requests.
"If possible, I want to know if my friends are safe".
"Done!"
"Thank you, Lord Father".
The patriarch smiled. "Ben, work hard. In our family, we recognize strength above all else. If you work hard enough, you may get to occupy my seat".
"You may now leave".
…
Mrs. Charlotte heaved a huge sigh of relief after they left the royal court, surprisingly Ben followed all the etiquettes that she taught on the way.
She was about to thank him but Ben spoke before she did.
"Did Lord Father say work hard to occupy his seat?"
"Lol, who gives a damn about his seat?"
"Hehe, I'm here to live my life and enjoy it to the fullest!"
"…"
