"Yes, mum and dad, listen to my idea first." Magnus started explaining everything as soon as they reached home.
Adam and Grace took a seat while Magnus walked back and forth in front of them. This was just day one and Magnus had already given them a shock.
"Okay, I am 12, right? But I want to take the throne as soon as I turn 18. But, there is a problem, even if the queen abdicates and makes me the king, the people of this country will question me, because they don't know me, and don't love me.
"So, we need to start early. We need to make the world see me as the best possible king to ever sit on the throne. I have confidence that I can impress them, Merlin was a master when it came to propaganda.
"What the problem is my family history. We need to heavily edit it, and for me to be a legitimate king, I need to show my relationship to the queen. For this, Dad will become Queen's eldest son, who lived his life away from the royal lifestyle, with some distant relatives of the queen.
"Next will be mummy, you will be from a noble family, that is directly related to King Arthur Pendragon. This will explain my name to the world." Magnus explained in detail.
"But what about my parents? They are still alive, you know." Grace spoke up.
"I know, but Grandpa has no other family left. We will just make him the main descendant of King Arthur, from there it will extend to you. Dad already has nobody except us so it'll be even easier." Magnus said.
Adam and Grace looked at each other's faces as if talking with eyes.
"Will the queen even agree to all this?" Adam asked in doubt.
"She will, it's not like she has a choice. Also, me taking the throne doesn't mean she was a fake queen. It's just that by the rule of blood, I'm more eligible than her. I will talk to her, don't worry. I heard she goes to Balmoral Castle in Scotland every year to spend her summer. *Sigh* Royals really need to find a job." Magnus planned.
"I will come with you, then," Grace decided.
But Magnus immediately denied her, "No, mum. You shouldn't. Besides, it will be a talk between two monarchs and don't worry about my safety. I will take security with me."
"Ah, you did tell me about your Detective Agency," Adam exclaimed.
"They are already expanding now and have opened more branches in other countries. You two should prepare yourself though, for becoming a public figure. I can promise that the media will only trouble you at the start, after that, I will make sure they leave you alone." Magnus assured him.
Grace though suddenly had an idea, "Sweetie, will it help you if your mum turns out to be a famous doctor who invented something life-saving?"
Magnus, Adam and Ragnar stared at her face, already knowing she was onto something.
"Absolutely, mummy. They might just start calling you goddess then, what is it you invented?" Magnus inquired excitedly.
"No no, I will not tell you right now. Give me some time, once it's all done, I might need help from Ted with some legal matters about patents." Grace requested.
Magnus laughed, "Of course, they will help you whenever you want. Ah... Wait a second, I need to bring Arthur to ask him something."
He quickly went to his room and brought a painting of Arthur and Merlin where they were lazily sitting in a garden.
"Ah, hello, children." Arthur greeted everyone.
Magnus quickly asked, "Arthur, I'm preparing for my inevitable coronation. For that, I need my parents to be royals too. So, I was thinking of making my Mum take your surname too. That is if you don't have a problem."
Arthur burst into laughter, "Haha... No need to ask, Magnus. Ah, I always wanted a daughter, now I'm getting such a pretty and intelligent one. Grace Grant Pendragon, it'll be a good name."
"See, Old Arthur is cool with it," Magnus said, but he noticed Merlin being silent.
"Why are you being sad, Merlin?" He asked.
Arthur chuckled, "Haha, he's sad that his name is not being taken."
Magnus shook his head seeing such an act from an old man, "Well, all my future kids and family will have Merlin's name too."
"WAIT! KIDS? Do you have a girlfriend, Mag?" Adam quickly asked.
Magnus wanted to say something but noticed Ragnar's mouth slowly opening. He ran up to him at full speed and covered his mouth.
"No, dad! I'm too young for all that, right?" He said and started to whisper in Ragnar's ears.
"Fool, why are you so adamant about ruining my life? Emma is not my girlfriend, I don't see her in a romantic way, she's childish." He whispered.
Ragnar smirked, "I was just going to sneeze."
"Yeah, fool someone else, not me." Magnus was not buying his words.
"Okay okay... Go and take a bath, then go to sleep... Ah... It's 3 AM. Quick." Grace quickly pushed them. They didn't even realise how much time had passed in their talk.
Magnus and Ragnar went to their own rooms. Each bedroom had its own bathroom so it was very useful. But, before taking a bath, Magnus wrote a letter to Ted and Adrian, telling them about his upcoming trip.
...
What did Grace and Adam do with the 2 million pounds they received from the government as compensation?
Magnus didn't know it and he felt it was unnecessary to ask.
In reality, Grace had actually set up a personal research lab in half of the basement while Adam had set up his engineering workshop in the other half. They spent most of the money on these, but they were also running low on funds now. And, both of them were against taking foreign investment in their research as then they would also have to share the patents of their inventions.
Grace was currently working on a heart stent. It was actually a much-improved design of the ones already in the market. She had been working on it for a while now, but only after having so much funds, she was able to make quick progress.
Now, all that was left was human trials and as long as they are successful these new stents can be mass-produced. But, filing the patent first was the most important part.
Adam, on the other hand, was working on a newer car engine. It was a concept at the time and was not in the final stages like Grace's. It was an engine that was a lot more fuel-efficient, and could also run on electricity. But there were no good enough batteries in the world that could take the car too far with a single charge. So, he was forced to research batteries at the same time and that was like a money pit of research.
~Sigh, if it goes like this, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Magnus for investment.~ he thought to himself.
...
In another special location in the building, Ragnar was also researching a new Potion. If successful, it would be widely famous in both the magical and muggle world, especially among girls. Drinking this new Potion would make one vomit most of the impurities in their blood. This would help people with a lot of acne on their body and faces.
But its other medical uses were also limitless. Because fewer impurities in the blood would mean better general health of the body and all organs.
~GAH!... Test 16,876 also failed. But I'm getting there.~ he angrily noted on his diary and continued to work.
...
Unlike everyone else, Magnus was sleeping with no care in the world. Chad was sleeping on his stomach while Summer was sitting on her wooden fake branch Magnus had put on the wall. Only Duck was missing and Magnus was going to meet him the next day.
...
*Yawn*
Magnus woke up the next morning. Instead of waiting, he quickly called Abraham.
"Take me to Camelot, will you?" He asked.
"Sure, sir. Let's go." Abraham immediately teleported with him.
He reached the portkey room and then moved to reach the throne room.
"ROAAAAR"
But, even before Magnus could reach there, he heard a very loud and terrifying roar.
"Is that...?"
He looked to the side at the huge frameless window. On the other side was a black dot, that was getting bigger and bigger. Soon, Magnus realised what it was.
"How did he grow so big... WAIT! WHY ISN'T HE STOPPING?"
"SLOW DOWN, DUCK!" he shouted.
But, Duck was too excited, obvious from his happy giant face.
10 metres
5 metres
1 metre
*BOOM*
Duck barged in from the window and jumped on Magnus, next thing he knew, Duck's sandpaper-like tongue was licking his face.
But Magnus couldn't be angry at him. Duck was just excited to see him. He quickly patted his head, "Hahaha... What the hell have you been eating, boy?"
"Grawwwww..." Duck purred.

"Hahaha... Calm down, Duck. You're not small anymore. How did you grow so huge in the first place?" Magnus asked the big dragon. He was at least the size of a minibus.
"Oh, I had a lot of books about how to feed and train a dragon. It seems the special diet did wonders for him. But, I'm still unable to find what species of Dragon he belongs to." Grandma Martha arrived.
Magnus also gave her a hug, "Well, do you think I can ride on his back?"
Duck looked at Magnus with his eyes brightened. He signalled Magnus to jump on his back.
"Hehe... I think you can ride. He refused everyone else, though maybe he was waiting for you," Martha revealed.
Excitedly, Magnus went to Duck and climbed on his back. He patted him too, "Boy, you're so young and already so gigantic, I wonder what a century of growth will turn you into."
"QUAAAACK..." All of a sudden Duck loudly quacked and jumped outside with Magnus on his back.
Magnus was uncontrollably laughing, hearing him Quack even now.
He held onto various spikes on Ducks' back and enjoyed the view. He felt that Duck was also enjoying carrying him around, like a proud kid showing his achievements to his parents.
"Ah, no Duck, don't tilt your body so much, or I will fall," Magnus warned him.
Duck was getting used to carrying someone on his back. They flew around for an hour and in that time both of them learnt how to fly perfectly. While they were flying, a lot of Phoenixes, Hippogriffs and other flying magical beasts joined them and flew around them. They flew above the clouds, facing the wind on their faces.
It was a magical sight to behold. After that, they returned to the castle for breakfast. He remembered that he'd also need to return home or else his parents would start worrying.
"Grandma, do you know how I can take Duck outside? I mean, how can he fly and be around me in the muggle world?" Magnus asked.
Martha was wearing a cute apron while hovering around the dining table and putting food on Magnus' plate. Even Duck was sitting close by but his bowl was as big as the whole table.
"Of course, dear. I have trained little Duck and taught him some magical rune enchantments. They were drawn over his body by the Goblins. He can activate those Runes whenever he wants and turn invisible." Martha revealed.
Magnus looked at Duck intently, to notice the enchantments. Duck also turned to him and happily threw a piece of meat from his bowl at him.
Magnus chuckled, "Haha, good boy, sharing your food. I can't imagine how Summer and Chad will act after seeing you. But, I still don't know how I can keep you close to myself at all times."
"QUACK..."
"Hmm... Are you even a dragon? But, I guess now that you're so tall, you deserve a better name." Magnus said and started thinking.
Duck waited for the name with big eyes.
"Ummm... DUCKY?" Magnus muttered.
"That's not much different from now. Maybe something fearful will be nice." Martha advised.
"Duck the destroyer?" Magnus suggested.
"Hahaha... Just kidding, I've already decided a name for him. He's family, so he will share my last name and for the first name, he will be ANNIHILUS, ANNIHILUS GRANT EMRYS PENDRAGON." He announced.
"WRAAAAAAAAW...." Duck looked upward and threw flames from his mouth in excitement.
"Hehe, he likes it. But, for me, he will always be Duck." Magnus added.
Martha was smiling, "A very good name, with his growth rate, I'm sure he will surpass the size of all dragons to have ever existed."
"Quack"
"Here you go, child." Martha put more food in Duck's bowl.
"Heh, actually, I think I'm going to take Duck for a little stroll later. But first I need to return home and inform them." Magnus told her and quickly returned home.
...
"MAGNUS... BREAKFAST IS READY..."
As soon as he returned he heard his mother's voice.
"COMING..."
He went to the dining hall. The new house was so big, yet somehow Grace was able to shout loud enough to reach him. Nobody knew how she did it, maybe it was just a Mum's special power.
Now, although Magnus was full, seeing his favourite pancakes he decided to eat some extra calories today.
"Mummy, I will be going to Camelot today," he informed her.
"Oh, say my hello to Martha, and also to little Duck," Grace said.
Magnus chuckled, "Mum, Duck's grown big now. You can even fly on his back, but mentally he's still like a kid."
"REALLY?" Ragnar immediately asked. He was waiting for this day, ever since he had seen Duck, he was dreaming and working towards someday being able to fly on his back.
"Yes, and you will be coming with me today," Magnus replied with a wink.
"Mum, when will your invention be completed? I mean, just give me a rough estimate." Magnus asked.
"Oh dear, I'm so close to completing it. Now I just need to file patents across the globe. I've contacted Ted about it." She revealed.
*Whistle*
"That's very fast. What about you, dad?" Magnus asked.
Adam proudly replied, "Hah... Your dad is awesome, I am creating a new type of car engine. But I'm going to have to wait for a little while as I'm also researching new types of batteries. I also need to gather some funds."
"Really? It's a very lucrative field, both cars and batteries. I think I must buy a car company now. Dad, I will invest in your project. Ah... I think I need an accountant now. Umm... Ted will see to it. Just inform him whenever you require funds." Magnus decided.
Adam and Grace were just speechless. Magnus' spontaneous decisions always puzzle them. Where does he get the confidence to invest like this?
After eating, Grace and Adam left for their jobs. Ragnar and Magnus went to Camelot.
As soon as they arrived there, Ragnar also got a greeting from Duck, it was also being licked clean by the dragon's tongue.
"Ah, I forgot to tell you. Now his official name is Annihilus, with my surnames. Chad and Summer, say hello to Duck." Magnus introduced them.
But Chad and Summer seemed as if frozen there.
"QUACK"
This was all it took them to recognise that this big dragon was indeed Duck. Summer flew near his head and sat down while Chad climbed on his back.
"Haha, this is a reunion I guess. Come on, Ragnar. We're going to meet the queen now." Magnus decided.
Ragnar was taken aback, "NOW? On him?"
Magnus nodded as he climbed, "Yes, on a DRAGON!"
Ragnar started laughing crazedly, "BWAHAHAHA... OH BOY! I'm gonna love the show today."
"Wait... What should I wear? I can't go and meet her in my pyjamas. I need something intimidating." Magnus complained and tried to find clothes in his magic pouch. But, none of them looked cool.
*POP*
"Dear, I will help you." Martha appeared out of nowhere.
"You're coming with us?" Ragnar asked.
"Of course, little Duck is still too wild sometimes, you need me to make sure nothing bad happens. Now, for your clothes, I just have the right dress, modern and intimidating. Hmm... Some high boots will make you look tall." She muttered.
"Pfft... Mag, you're small." Ragnar teased him.
But Magnus wasn't affected, "I'm still growing... I just need some more milk, Huh..."
Soon, Martha helped Magnus with a new dress and it was indeed very nice. It had a nice grey t-shirt, with black cargo pants. There was a knife attached to his belt and finally, a long brown leather coat. He even had leather black gloves.
"This is good... I'm sure the Queen will not take me lightly with this." Magnus commented.
"Hah... With a dragon, I think hardly anyone will take you not seriously." Martha jokingly replied.
...
Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Balmoral Castle,
It was a 165-year-old castle, surrounded by greenery. It covers an area of approximately 50,000 acres (20,000 hectares). It was a working estate, including grouse moors, forestry, and farmland, as well as managed herds of deer, Highland cattle, and ponies.
The 50,000-acre estate contains a wide variety of landscapes, from the Dee river valley to open mountains. There were seven Munros (hills in Scotland over 3,000 ft or 914.4 m) within the estate, the highest being Lochnagar at 3,789 ft (1,155 m).
With all these luxuries and a relaxing environment, it could be understood why the Queen spends her summer here.
Today, she had gone out to hunt a deer with her eldest son. It was a royal tradition to go on hunting and she loved doing it.
"Mum... You can do it..." Prince Charles encouraged his mother who was taking a shot at the deer not far away. They had been camping here for a while now.
"I know, dear son. I came on this vacation for relaxing... And what better way to relax than hunting..." The queen replied and pulled the trigger.
*BOOM*
The loud shot rang in the grassy hills. There was just a jeep that they had brought with them. As it was all their estate, the security was tight around the boundaries, so there was no need for extra security.
"Bullseye!" She cheered after seeing the deer fall.
They high-five each other... But... Just then...
"RAAAAAAAAA..."
A loud ear-deafening sound came from the sky. It had a strange base to it, which even shook their hearts.
"WHAT WAS THAT?" Prince Charles asked in a panic.
The Queen was also visibly shaken as she looked towards the sky, "I...I don't know... Start the jeep... QUICK!"
"GRAAAAAAAAAW!"
This time the loud scream was closed and more intense. They even felt the ground shake.
And just then, suddenly a giant figure became visible in front of them. It was slowly descending, while the large wings flapped and created wind currents, strong enough to make their hats fly away.
Queen Elizabeth, for the first time in her life, saw a dragon. It was terrifyingly huge and scary, having many spikes on the body, with its scary scream, both she and Prince Charles felt their legs freeze.
Charles even fell back on his butt due to the strong wind, while the queen managed to stay standing after trying hard.
Duck was actually enjoying scaring these humans, he had also somehow made himself look different from before, as when playing with Magnus he would look cute and harmless but now he looked mean and angry. Magnus and the rest were also not visible on his back because he was too tall and his neck and head were covering them.
*BOOM*
With a loud thud and dust flying, Duck landed majestically. He looked at the two small humans closely with his big yellow eyes, the two humans were frozen in fear, so he slowly opened his mouth.
Both the Queen and the Prince saw a small yellowish light becoming greater deep inside the dragon's pit-like mouth. They realised that it was the fire.
Duck was actually just scaring them. For the last time, he decided to roar on their faces. He made the nastiest face he could and did it.
"RHAAAAA..."
The queen and the prince felt as if souls left their bodies, they held each other's hand tightly. Prince Charles even started praying, "M-May God have mercy on us... SAVE US!"
