Chapter 313: 313. 3 Names

Magnus arrived at the party. The people had just finished their tour. The journalists were not allowed to enter here as many rich people would want to have some private chat here.

Grace was the point of a talk by all the women. They were all acting like some high-class women, but the truth was, most of them were unemployed and could only afford luxury lifestyles because either they married a rich lord or themselves inherited a lot of money and property from their lord father and mother.

They had nothing on Grace to be boastful about, hence, they acted like they were her lackeys, showering her in praise, looking at the three babies and fawning over them. Though Magnus had put the jinx on the stroller, if anybody other than his approved person tried to touch them then the offender would get a strong urge to itch themselves all over their body.

Safe to say, about 4 out of 10 women were itching. Magnus scoffed and focused on talking with the people in front of him.

All of these lords were sucking up to him, as the cat was out of the box and they knew how powerful and rich he was. Before, they just dismissed him as second in line and only focused on Adam.

Now Adam was taking a sigh of relief as he didn't have to face as many people now.

"My Prince, I heard you also own the famous Golden Essence Wine company. I myself own a wide number of exquisite wine shops around the world. But... the wine from your company leaves a very small margin for businesses. I wonder If I can get a discount..." The man asked.

"Sure, why not." Magnus quickly agreed. But his next words were spoken silently, ~Heh... don't you open your mouth against me when I need support in the House of Lords later.~

Others were not as shameless, they talked in cryptic words. Magnus knew everything and agreed to many business opportunities. He was happy to do it since in the future many of his new laws will be against their noble lives.

"Your Highness," Lord Mountbatten came to greet him.

Magnus warmly welcomed him, "Haha... my favourite noble is here. You did a good job handling the whole oil crisis. If we had left it to the government's slow decision-making, then we'd be seeing dozens of protests right now."

"I did as you asked, your highness. Your friendship with the Saudi King was highly helpful." Mountbatten replied loudly. This was the purpose of the whole exchange. Magnus was reaffirming that the country was in better shape due to him. Now, automatically all these words will reach the rest of the decision-makers.

Later, only Bobby, Ragnar, Adrian and Ted were there. Tom had to be responsible for safety and Edgar was busy in Saudi with the completion of the project they dubbed as the Great Saudi Contract.

"Ted, how many requests did you get for you to represent in their divorce cases?" Magnus inquired.

Divorce cases were one of the toughest things for any noble. Because it also means having to divide their property, something that most don't want.

"About 20," Ted answered while sipping some wine.

"And how many did you reject?" Ragnar inquired.

"All of them. I have taken retirement from personally representing in legal cases. I only help my people from behind the scenes, only in high profile cases. Rest, I am fully invested in helping his highness." Ted resolutely said.

"And I got about 20 requests to spy on their spouses. I rejected them all." Adrian added.

Magnus sighed, "They are beyond finding I guess. Let's just end this party and go home. I want to sleep. Mum probably wants that too."

They all agreed. The three babies needed to reach home as soon as possible. So after the whole event, the hospital was officially in service. Magnus got into the car with his parents and left.

Slowly, the guests also left. At home, Magnus asked something, "Mum, Dad, have you thought about a name for them?"

"Not yet, we didn't know what their gender would be, although we knew they would be twins. But now... we need to come up with three names." Grace said.

They all sat in the living room and brainstormed names. Just then Martha suggested, "Why don't we write three names each, then put it in a bowl and we pick out three names randomly?"

Adam agreed, "But if the name is some kind of a joke-inspired one then we will reject it. Also, Grace gets veto power."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

They all agreed. Soon they all got three pieces of paper and a pen. They had about half an hour to come up with one and each was hiding their paper. Ragnar, being the paranoid guy, took it to a whole other level and used spells to construct a wall around himself.

For Magnus, coming up with names was not hard. He just took some old names and their meanings and wrote them down. He was the first to finish and put the chits in the glass bowl.

Next was Martha, then Adam and then Grace. The last one for some reason was Ragnar. Soon, the glass bowl was shuffled and Dobby was called.

"Your job is to pick three chits from the bowl one by one and announce what's written in it. Okay, Dobby?" Magnus instructed him.

"I will do a good job, sir." Dobby dutifully stood by the bowl.

Everyone took their seats on the couch or the ground. The fireplace was lit and Dobby stood in front of it. He nervously put his one hand in and took out one chit.

Everyone's intense gaze was on it, which made Dobby nervous to the point he started shivering. But, he opened the chit and announced.

"Oswald, meaning God," Dobby announced.

"VETO!" Grace voiced quickly.

"WHAT? WHY? It's an amazing name for my little brother." Ragnar protested.

Grace explained her reason, "Well, didn't you think about his position as a prince? People will question our intentions, the church will question our intentions. We can't give such a controversial name."

"Dobby, take another one out. Throw that one in the fire." Magnus instructed.

Saddened, Ragnar sat back. But, he accepted the reasoning like a grown-up. The next name Dobby took out was a female name. "Umm... The name is Clementia, meaning Merciful."

"What a beautiful name," Martha commented.

"Agreed, who's suggestion is it?" Grace asked.

Magnus, proudly with a puffed chest, stood up, "It was I."

"So, which sister gets this name?" Grace inquired. Magnus had already decided for whom this name was.

He walked to the small cradle on the side of the couch. This one had his little black-haired sister sleeping. "For her. I think... after how she fought for life. She will one day become a kind and merciful lady."

"Aww... that's so sweet. I accept this name. Far better than my suggestion of Raven." Grace gave the seal of approval.

"YEEES! I WON... Huh..." Magnus taunted Ragnar, who had a crying face by now. He had missed the opportunity to name his little brother.

"Okay, Dobby, next."

Dobby once again took out a chit and read it aloud, "Maximus, it means Greatest."

They all looked at each other's faces to see who it was that suggested it. Martha spoke up, "Of course, your son should be given a great name. Magnus' name also means Greatest. Even Ragnar's name means warrior from the gods."

"I APPROVE!" Grace gave her thumbs up. And hence, the boy's name was set as Maximus.

Ragnar also nodded, giving his approval that it was a good name. Adam was silent, none of his suggestions had come yet. But not for long.

Dobby picked the next chit and spoke, "The next name for the girl is... Alma, means nourishing."

"Sounds weird. Too small and easy. She's a princess and needs a dignified name." Grace vetoed.

Magnus was saddened this time, it was his suggestion they realised. "Hehe... what a bad suggestion." Ragnar rubbed it on his face.

Ignoring them, the next name was taken out. "Aurelia, meaning the golden one."

Hearing this, everyone glanced at the little golden blonde haired girl. They nodded at that. The name made good sense.

"I can already imagine her growing into a beautiful girl with long golden hair." Grace lovingly said. And this was it, the third name was set.

"Good, the names are decided, Maximus, Aurelia and Clementia, according to the order of their birth," Grace announced.

Only Magnus, Martha and Adam had their names selected. Ragnar was left to brood alone.

Chapter 314: 314. A Small Favour

It had been 2 days since the birth of Magnus' siblings.

Grace was extremely busy now since she had to not only feed one but three children. But Magnus and Ragnar helped as much as they could in keeping them from crying by being the jokers.

Martha was the biggest helping hand, helping in changing the diapers. Grace needed a lot of health supplements to retain her body's energy and not end up falling unconscious at the end of every day.

Adam had to go to work, as his work involved national security. Making missiles, tanks and whatnot was a high priority. But Adam also made sure to keep the patents of the things he himself came up with. His company was also the patent holder, and they were now manufacturing items as well.

In the old car plant, Adam now had an automated factory. Though for now it was being used to produce Magnus' ordered specialised train locomotive that could run fast in extreme heat.

"Rag, what are you up to until New Year?" Magnus asked.

"Nothing, just planning what I'm gonna make next. What about you?" Ragnar inquired.

"I'm going to Saudi Arabia and then Zimbabwe. None of them are official trips though," Magnus revealed.

"I can understand Zimbabwe as it will soon become Greater Britain, but why Saudi Arabia?" Ragnar wondered.

"Hehe... I'm gonna sell my locomotive there. Dad has finished its trial run already. All we need to do is try it in the desert. If everything is fine, we will get our branded trains running on tracks that our company made." Magnus revealed his grand plan.

"Bloody capitalist," Ragnar cursed.

"That same money also makes you rich, and besides, I am a good capitalist who does things for the good of the world. Isn't this the best form of capitalism?" Magnus argued.

"Huh... did you even look at the newspapers and the television news lately? Nobody is taking your wealth, power and deeds nicely." Ragnar said.

Magnus raised his brows and walked to the living room to see the news. The moment he turned it on, he saw his name in the headlines and some folks talking about it. There were two sides, one defending him and the other objecting to him.

[NEWS]

Guest 1: It is wrong to reject something before you have even seen its effect. The hospital is not just made for the people of the United Kingdom, but also for the people of the entire world. It is meant to be the best hospital there is."

Guest 2(Call her Bitch): All that money could have been used in much better ways. There was no need to make it so grand and luxurious. We are living in a time when unemployment is on the rise and the economy is down."

Guest 1: Then what do you suggest? That he gives all the money to people? That is the government's job. And besides, according to official words, the hospital has created more than 3,000 high paying permanent jobs. It also created countless jobs in the building of this hospital. Also, do not forget the amazing college and the research facilities that will keep on giving us doctors and new medical advancements."

Guest 2: But what I fear is that he's too young and inexperienced. He needs to go slow or he will lose everything. This hospital... I can not imagine it getting a high amount of customers anytime soon.

Guest 1: I think we are very inexperienced in giving him any advice. He has created his huge empire of innovative industries at such a young age. If anything... we should thank him for getting the oil here through talking to the Saudi King in time."

Guest 2: Those are just rumours.

Guest 1: (Fixing his glasses smartly) Then perhaps you lack information. The company that is building major infrastructure in Saudi Arabia is owned by His Highness. Is there any surprise as to why we got oil in time?"

[News Ends]

"Do we pay this guy? If we don't then we should." Magnus exclaimed.

"Is this what you are worried about? Brother, they are walking over your name." Ragnar pointed.

Magnus shrugged, "Huh, I expected this much. Do you have any idea how powerful lobbying in the medical and pharmaceutical industries is? Especially the American side. The companies dictate what policies the government should adopt.

"And Mother Grace Hospital gives them a huge scare. Because of its major potential. They are majorly scared of our research and technology. Just imagine, my company was to make a cure for cancer someday, would I keep its price high to maximise profit? Or keep it affordable so everyone can afford it and I can alone reap the benefits?"

"And what if they send spies to your company or someone leaves your company and goes to your competitor?" Ragnar inquired.

"First of all, they have signed a contract of non-disclosure. Second, if they want to leave for money, I have given them the offer to just come to me and I will give more money than them. But, in reality, such people get obliviated of all the crucial information and are given the chance to let go. They end up joining our competitors with no or wrong information." Magnus revealed.

Ragnar was taken aback, "You... that's so scummy... but I like it."

Magnus chuckled, "Haha, bye-bye then. Don't worry about the little details. I know how to control public opinion. See ya later at dinner."

With that, Magnus took out a portkey box from his pocket and vanished from the spot. The next moment, he arrived inside the castle of King Faisal of Saudi Arabia.

The man, although old, was excited and energetic to see him. "Haha... Magnus, I wanted to meet you for a long time since I heard about your heroic fight with a thousand werewolves. Come, a feast awaits us. And congratulations on getting siblings. I would have shown condolences if I didn't know you are the least likely person to have any succession problems to the throne. "

Magnus and Faisal were chill bros by now. Both had gained a lot with each other's help after all. They spend an hour eating and talking. After that, it came to business.

"Let's go to the track trial site." King Faisal lead him to the chopper waiting for them.

From there, they flew to a desert site, it was one of the hottest areas of the country. So it made sense to test the train here. But, when Faisal arrived at the starting location, he saw there were two locomotives instead of the one that they already owned.

"What... is going on here?" He asked.

"Well, I just wanted to test my dad's built locomotive. I don't know how it will perform in this heat." Magnis said innocently.

Faisal just stared at his face, knowing all too well this was not about any test. It was about another offer and showing him how much better his stuff is.

*CHOOO CHOOO*

The train one, the one from Saudi Arabia made the sound. It started moving with about a hundred cars. It was a really long train. Soon, the train caught speed.

The whole test lasted about an hour. Then, the engines were changed and Magnus' one was installed in the front. The previous train gave an average speed of 80 kilometres per hour. By the time Magnus' test ended, everyone was left in amazement, at least those that knew a bit about trains.

The speed was 200 kilometres per hour for Magnus' train. More than twice the speed of their original train. Even if the train was empty right now, putting multiple engines should be able to get it at the right speed.

Faisal, knowing all too well he had fallen into the trap, asked, "How much for ten locomotives in the start? I will order 30 more later."

Magnus chuckled, "Hehe... only 190,000 pounds(About 2 million today). But since you are a friend, I can give you a friend price for the first 20 locomotives. Which is 160,000. It's just the cost price and some punitive expenses to not make it a loss. All for a small favour."

"I BLOODY KNEW IT... What is it?" Faisal asked.

"Well, I want you to broker a deal between the British Government and Algeria, Libya, Niger and Chad. I want to buy some... I mean a lot of land in the Sahara Desert." Magnus revealed.

"Umm... how big of a land?" Faisal asked. He didn't outright deny it though, since there was a Sunni majority in all these nations, just like his own. His country was rich and strong, while these were poverty-ridden and poor nations, with a lot of infighting.

Magnus shamelessly replied, "Umm... about 573,218 km/sq."
