The arrival of the Black family, made the Cross family county more lively. The sound of Marylyn laughing cheerfully being chased and tickled by Erika, magic explosions from Oscar’s demonstration, a quake form Grandma Gwen’s ‘punishment’ and cheers from playing Cross Catch in the winter. After dinner, Adrian proposed playing ‘guess the drawing’. Eight people divide into 4 teams of two. Adrian conjures 6x6 meter stone slab and shape a piece of charcoal to make it easier to draw. He didn’t want to waste paper just for a game. Luckily there is magic. The whole family had a merry night. Laughs, cheers and groans sounded around the fireplace in the lounge room. The first night spend with Black family close of with everybody smiling and everybody return to their rooms. “It’s time again.” Cassie’s reminder sounded in Adrian’s head just after Adrian entered his room. “Of course.” Adrian nodded and picked up the guitar that he ordered from Rupert after he came back from the capital. The str

“Gweneth Armitage Black. So, there is a connection?” Adrian thought while keeping silent. “No. I have never heard of the Armitage Family.” Adrian lied about it as no one can know he can see through people’s data. “Armitage Family is….” Grandma Gwen begin explaining but Adrian asked Aria about the information. Aria responds while Grandma Gwen tells the story. [Responding. Armitage Family is the one of the first two families that existed along with the Valentine Family. Both are 1st generation decadents of the human race Primordials, Adam and Eve. Abel Armitage and Cain Valentine made the first respective families. They are referred to as Ancient Families formed by ancient beings by the people of the current era.] [Adam and Eve hand over the two brothers a gift each. The direct teachings of a Primordial. ‘Fist of Adam’ to the Valentine family and ‘Eve’s Mana Method’ to the Armitage family.] [Cain Valentine is enraged as why he did not obtain both of the manuals as he is the eldest.

King Elijah is walking down the palace halls back to his office after the meeting with the Dawn Kingdom envoy. Just as he arrived, he saw Queen Charlotte waiting for him in front of his office. “Is it done? You’ve had been in meetings with the envoys since last week. Are they finally leaving you alone?” Charlotte felt pity for her busy husband. “Should I tell her about the Cross boy is blessed by the gods? No. It won’t change anything. We’ve already planned to make Charles the crown prince when he reaches 15 years old. It is better to just stick with the original plan to avoid internal strife. The Cross boy also wouldn’t mind.” Elijah gives a moment of thought. “No problems. All of them had return. As the matter of fact, our relationship with the Dawn kingdom had improve. Speaking about Dawn kingdom, how is Marie? Also, the twins, how is their magic studies came along? They just awaken their mana a few days ago.” Elijah replied with a big smile. “That is good news if the envoys ar

The Cross family finally arrived at noon to the gate of the southern border leading to Silver Ash Town after 4 days of travelling on the road. At the gate they were greeted with 2 familiar faces and 2 unfamiliar ladies. Adrian recognizes Count Patrick Shields and the youngest son, Scott Shields. He did not recognize the 2 ladies with them. “Welcome, Malcom and family! Hohoho… Luckily, I had predicted you would arrive at this time. So, me and my family came over to greet you.” Count Shields greet the Cross family and his other family members give them a light bow. “Sigh… You don’t need to wait in the cold to greet us. Let’s just quickly get inside. It is winter right now. You don’t be so courteous we are at the same noble rank.” Malcom felt bad seeing his fellow count waiting. “Hohoho… Why shouldn’t I? I’m just excited that your whole family finally decide to take a vacation and you picked our county as your first spot. Usually, one always goes to the capital

“Can we just get this over with.” Adrian said with impatience after the awkward revelation. He just wants to get out of this room right now but he needs to behave. “Alright, alright. Sorry about that.” Kyle felt a little guilty to both Adrian and Scott. Scott is sitting at the maximum distance from Adrian while covering his face in shame. Staying silent. “The reason I invite the both of you here is because I will get married in spring next year. There will be a bachelor’s party but I will only invite my friends in the academy. So that is why I want to spend time with the two of you and make the announcement.” Kyle made his big announcement to Adrian and Kyle. “I don’t hear anything about this?” Scott asks in a confused voice ignoring the previous debacle. “I only discuss this with father. Even mother don’t know about this.” Kyle gives a smile to Scott’s sudden question. “When is it? My aunts wedding will also be in spring next year.” Adrian as
