Chapter 80: 80. Confronting the Family

♫Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...♫

The television was playing some nursery rhymes. The main attraction here though were Duck and Summer. Both of them were made to wear cute little fairy clothes and they were happily jumping around.

*Clap* *Clap*

Grace was clapping for them too. Chad was also made to wear a fairy dress but he was being lazy.

"QUACK"

"HOOOO..."

Magnus smiled after seeing the exchange. Grace noticed him and said, "Why didn't you tell me there were two owls in your room."

The smile from Magnus's face vanished. "Ah... Mummy... Duck is not an Owl. He's a baby dragon."

-_-

♫Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are♫

"No wonder he looked so strange," Grace exclaimed.

"THERE IS A DRAGON?!" Bobby suddenly shouted in excitement and ran towards Duck, who was shaking his body around to the music.

Bobby picked Duck up and hugged him like a teddy bear. Duck also fist gave a hug but then got annoyed.

"QUACK"

"Bobby, let him go," Ragnar warned him.

"RAAAAA..."

"AAAAAA..." Bobby cried as his shirt was burnt by Duck.

"See, that's why it is never good to hug a dragon... especially when it's a baby," Magnus said and helped Bobby.

"THAT WAS SO COOL..." Bobby did not mind being burnt at all.

"How big will he get when he grows up?" He asked further, again trying to hold Duck, but Duck ran into the arms of Grace like a frightened kitty.

"Umm, he'll be big enough to swallow this whole house in one go," Magnus replied.

"Really? But he looks so cute and... Little..." Grace said while looking at Duck closely.

"Of course, his growth spurt is going to be crazy. Summer, meanwhile, is going to stay like this. She's already a beautiful adult owl." Magnus revealed.

"Yes yes, Summer is beautiful." Grace dotted on all the animals like they were her own children. They too felt a deep connection of Grace with Magnus, so they liked her back.

"Magnus... When Duck grows up, you gotta let me ride on his back once." Bobby requested.

Magnus agreed, "Of course, I will. We will all go on a picnic on his back."

"Where did you even find him? Aren't they very dangerous beasts?" Grace asked all of a sudden.

Magnus nodded, "Yes, they are class 5 beasts, the most dangerous ones. But dragons are different. They are very intelligent beasts, so, creating a bond with them is easier."

~Expecially for me~ he muttered to himself.

"Where is dad?" He asked.

"He went out for some work, he'll be back by the evening," Grace replied.

Magnus sighed and confronted her, "Mummy, what do you think about me? Am I different from other kids?"

"Of course, honey. You are so smart and kind." Grace said.

"Then you should know that you can't always hide it from me. You and dad don't have jobs and are going out to give interviews... Right?" He finally said it.

Grace released Duck and Summer to go somewhere else to play and looked at Magnus. Her eyes filled up. Magnus was right, she and Adam knew him the best and yet they thought they could hide it. Maybe they were just desperate and a little ashamed as parents.

"Mag, sweetie... We were going to tell you... I'm so sorr..."

Before she could say it, Magnus did, "I'm sorry, mummy. It's happening because of me."

Words were left stuck in Grace's mouth. She had thought she'd need to tell Magnus and try not to make him angry.

"WHAT? What are you saying, sweetie? How could you be the reason? Don't blame yourself for something you didn't do." She said in a comforting voice.

"I know what I am saying, mum. Just wait a little for dad to come. I will tell you together." Magnus persisted.

"You're scaring mummy now," Grace muttered.

"Umm... I should go, Mag." Bobby voiced.

"Why? You already know everything. Besides, Ragnar is here, and I will also need someone to keep an eye on Duck." Magnus stopped him.

Hearing him, Bobby started intently at Duck. Duck as if felt the gaze, ran away and hid behind Chad.

Magnus waited till evening for his father to come. Then finally, in the evening, Adam returned. He still had a saddened face, he was most likely again rejected.

But, as soon as he saw Magnus, he forced a smile on himself. Though it stopped when he saw a worried face of Grace.

"Honey, he knows and said it's happening because of him," Grace revealed.

Adam was confused and shocked. He turned to Magnus and asked, "W... How?"

Magnus took a very long breath, "Okay, for you to understand everything, you should know what the book of acceptance is..."

"... I inherited the great Wizard Merlin Emrys and the dragon king, Arthur Pendragon. It happened on the night I was lost. The tree I talked about seeing that day was actually planted by Merlin, waiting for the perfect inheritor. It chose me... Now, I am the person with the highest and truest claim to the British throne... The royal family knows, due to a curse left by Merlin..." Magnus spoke all about his bloodline and told them why it was the truth.

"I also inherited all their properties, along with the kingship and castles, their vaults. Those vaults have such wealth that you don't have to work ever and can easily live in a 5-star hotel for the rest of your lives.

"What happened to you was done by Queen's husband, the prince. That is why you can't get jobs in the private industry either. But... I have solved everything now, no need to worry... Come with me, I will get you to meet Arthur and Merlin."

Grace and Adam were left speechless.

...

Buckingham palace

Moody had dropped the letter in the hands of a royal butler. He would give it directly to the queen. Moody hated doing this, but he entertained Magnus for what he did for him that day in Diagon Alley.

Magnus could have let him face the killing curse if he wanted and he would have died that day. But Magnus held his ground and saved his life. He was never going to forget such an act of bravery. He wanted the future of Britain in the hands of someone like Magnus and was satisfied to give this letter.

At that moment, the queen was with her husband, the prince, in the royal office. She was discussing the matter of Magnus and the letter arrived at the same time.

She looked at the wax seal on it and frowned. It was a royal seal, but instead of having the letter E, it had the letter M. She immediately used the letter opener and read it silently.

*BAM*

She fell to the floor, her face had turned white in fright. She looked at her husband angrily, "I TOLD YOU!... WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIS FAMILY?"

"What are you saying? I..." the Prince was confused. He took the letter and also read it. Soon, he had the same reaction.

"I did nothing too much... just... applied a little pressure..."

"WHAT DID YOU DO? OUT WITH IT... NOW!" the queen's eyes were red in anger.

"I put MI6 on it and... made it so they could not find a job anywhere..." he revealed.

*BAM* She slammed her fist on the table.

"I specifically ORDERED you not to do anything without my approval... YOU HAVE DOOMED THIS FAMILY. You were never the smart one in the family, were you? All these medals have made you too proud, it seems. Now I have to clean up your mess." She was raging.

"Calm down, dear. Your blood suga..."

"AAAAH... I can't believe this is happening. You destroyed our relations with him before we could even make them. I HAD A PLAN! I was going to offer them amazing jobs, make his parents feel indebted to the crown, but now they will HATE us.

"I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE. GET OUT!"

She was shivering in anger and also fear, veins popped out on her temple. She felt on edge these days, now she knew why. She was so close to having her whole bloodline dying because of her husband's actions.

She felt like crying but held her tears back and got herself to sit on a chair. In front of her table was a photo frame. A picture of her younger self... with King George VI, her father."

She held the photo in her hand and caressed it. Finally, a tear fell on the glass frame, "What should I do, papa? Will he forgive us? I wouldn't have if I was him... but..."

*Sniff*

[A/N: The crown cannot completely control or order around the Army, Government, Police and MI6. They just have some powerful pawns in key places for them to use. The elected government's high officials know about it but turn a blind eye as it's related to the crown.

Also, once again, rest in peace Prince Philip.]

[IMPORTANT NOTICE: Hello, just wanted to tell everyone that for the next 4 days, there will be 1 Chapter a day. I will be travelling and doing some other important stuff. My brother's marriage is coming soon and I will be busy with it. I will try to upload 2 chaps whenever possible.]

1 Stone = 1 Head Pat to Chad, Summer and Duck.

Chapter 81: 81. Compensation

Magnus brought his parents to his room. The invisible portrait was still hanging on the wall. But to show his parents, Magnus had taken another moving portrait from Hogwarts. It was the portrait originally belonging to Merlin.

So, Arthur and Merlin both jumped to the other portrait. They now became visible to all. Even Ragnar was for the first time seeing Arthur.

"Yoho... how are you, parents of Magnus? It is a pleasure to be meeting you." Arthur greeted.

"Thank you for bringing this little boy into the world. My tree waited for a full thousand years before finding him." Merlin added.

Grace and Adam were feeling numb due to so many crazy revelations. But they were not as shocked by the moving portraits as they had seen them in Diagon Alley.

"Are we supposed to bow?" Adam asked.

Magnus chuckled, "Haha, no no... Arthur doesn't need that. He's a cool and simple person. Instead, you can talk about anything fun with him. Merlin though is sometimes grumpy but still nice."

"HAHA... He called you grumpy." Arthur mocked Merlin.

"And he called you dumb. That's what being simple means." Merlin retorted.

"Excuse me, is everything my son said true?" Grace finally asked.

Merlin turned to her and nodded, "True, Mrs Grant. Thousand years ago, I and Arthur already knew our end was near. We had no children, however. But we wanted our bloodline to not die. So, we left behind our inheritance.

"Only the most suitable was to get it. For some reason, the sentient tree I left found Magnus to be the right person, and I too agree with his decision. Magnus may be childish oftentimes, but he still has a heart of gold, dipped in a potion of bravery, cunningness and intelligence. Just like me and Arthur, he has the blood of the dragon now and is bound to do great things in his lifetime"

Arthur also decided to add a few words, "Indeed, Magnus is actually the best of both me and Merlin... just make sure he does not get a habit of drinking when he grows up."

"Yes, we can't have Magnus sleeping with the pigs now..." Merlin commented.

*Cough*

"That was just once..." Arthur defended his honour.

"Yes, the next time it was sheep," Merlin said.

Arthur silently stared daggers at him, "Let's not get sidetracked. I was saying that Magnus is the true deserving King of England... ah, you call it Britain now. The current royal family was warned that if they don't abdicate the throne when he comes of age or try to harm him then they all will die due to a curse."

Magnus took off from here, "And they still dared to do it. They were the reason behind your transfers, the torment at work and also not being able to find new jobs. I have sent the letter to the queen now, she has no option but to accept my demands."

"Since when did you know this?" Adam asked.

"I didn't know anything until the first day at Hogwarts. Anyway, mum, dad... your son will be the King someday... aren't you excited?" Magnus cheekily asked.

Grace then stepped near him and hugged Magnus, "You be whatever you want, sweetie. We will always support you."

Magnus melted in his mother's arms. "And as long as I have you, I can be anything."

"AWWWWW..." Arthur made noises.

"QUACK"

"Yes yes... Duck will get hugs too." Magnus picked the baby dragon and hugged him too.

"So... our son will be the king in the future. Do you want us to do anything special?" Adam inquired.

"No, I want you to live happily, that's all I wish for. All this was not supposed to interfere in your life from the start, but they decided to do it. Now, you will get your jobs back, and also some extra money." Magnus said with a smirk.

"HAHAHA... you extorted money from them?" Arthur burst into laughter.

"Of course, damages for the mental stress they caused," Magnus said.

"How much did you ask for?" Adam asked.

Magnus showed two fingers and smirked.

"Two thousand?" Grace questioned.

"TWO MILLION!" Magnus announced.

-_-

-_-

"S-SO MUCH MONEY?" Grace exclaimed dumbfoundedly.

"We deserve it for what they did. But, this isn't really a lot of money. It's not even equal to .01 per cent of what's in just Arthur's vault, let alone Merlin's combined." Magnus revealed.

"And you own all of it?" Adam asked.

"YES... I am very rich." Magnus replied.

They were feeling more and more numb to whatever was coming from Magnus' mouth every second. Just accepting it, Grace sighed and got up, "Okay then, let's go and eat dinner. I still feel so strange about all this. I will need at least one night to accept everything."

"Hehe, let's go, mummy." Magnus held her hand and went downstairs with her.

...

Next Morning,

Grace woke up. She looked around herself in confusion. Adam also woke up due to her movement.

*Sigh*

Grace sighed and said, "Honey, I had the strangest dream last night."

"Let me guess, our son turned out to be the rightful king of Britain?" Adam plainly said.

"... So it was not a dream. Does this also make us royalty?" She wondered.

"I don't know about that... but you've been the queen of my heart since high school." Adam cheekily replied and came close to her to give her a kiss.

*BAM*

Grace put her palm on his face and pushed him back, "Brush your teeth, your mouth smells."

"Argh... it was such a romantic moment... fine... I'll go and brush," he grunted.

*DING DONG*

The doorbell rang. She got off the bed and checked. She instinctively got attentive as the person in front of her was in a military uniform. It was an old man with a crossed baton and sabre beneath a crown insignia on his shoulders. She knew he was a Lieutenant General.

But, she had no idea who he was as she had never seen this old man in her life.

The old man coughed and greeted, "Good morning, Mrs Grant. I am Lieutenant General Bradley Wilson. May I?"

"Yes yes, please come in." She invited him into the living room and offered him a seat.

"Is Mr Grant here? You should call him too." He asked.

"I'm here already. What do you want?" Adam came. He was not happy seeing a person in uniform.

"What does the army want from us now? After serving for so many years, we were thrown away like garbage, why should I not do the same with you?" He questioned.

*Cough*

"Please calm down, Mr Grant. The Army recognises its big mistake and we are ashamed of what happened. That is why I am here." Wilson said.

Adam and Grace shared a glance at each other. The words of Magnus from last night came to their mind.

"Continue..." Adam took a seat.

Quickly, Wilson took out a file from his bag and gave it to Adam.

"We did an internal investigation and found out that someone in the headquarters was targeting you two for some personal grudges. We have suspended him. However, we understand that what happened to you two was very distasteful.

"So, we offer you two jobs again, in the Army. In the previous offices, you used to work at. In fact, if Mrs Grant wants, you can become the head of the Department of Cardiology at the main Military hospital. You two will be promoted to the ranks of Brigadier. Your salaries will be double and as compensation, the Army has decided to give you this." He handed a cheque of 2 million pounds(25,150,793 in today's money.)

Adam and Grace gobsmackingly read the letter and checked the cheque.

Meanwhile, General Wilson was wondering what the hell was going on. He had just been told to come here and tell these two people about their reinstatement, promotion and also the compensation.

~What sin did the army commit against them?~ he wondered internally.

"Ahmmm... we are ready to accept these terms," Grace said and handed the papers back to Wilson. They were not going to be grumpy about it as they were being offered such good deals. Also, now they knew their son was going to be the king and they felt that it would help him get accepted by the people in the future if his parents served the nation in the army.

Hearing this, Wilson got up to leave, "Then I should be on my way to make your reinstatement official. Thank you for inviting me in."

Once he was left, both Grace and Adam ran upstairs to see Magnus. It was all his doing after all.

"Magnus, wake up..." Adam barged into his room.

But, there was nobody in the room.

"Where did he go to?" Adam asked Arthur.

"They went out to do some running. Now, don't shout and let me sleep." Arthur muttered and again started snoring.
