The next morning the sun tried to kiss Alan through the gaps between curtains.
Mhmm... ahhhh
Alan stretched his arms as he yawned.
'Waking up in peace huh, I have missed this feeling'
Alan tries to organize his schedule for the day
'First I should start taking long walks to free the screw in my body, then I ask Anna to guide me in gathering mana' just when Alan finished organizing his schedule
'Some guests are coming today right!'
Knock Knock
"Hmm… Alan, are you awake" Catherine's voice came beyond the door.
Alan responded immediately "Yes, mother"
"Ok get ready soon, the guests will arrive any time" Catherine's footsteps faded away after reminding Alan.
On the way to 'Clan Zeus' in a Beautiful gold-plated carriage:
Humming…
A woman questioned interrupting the humming "Ashley are you excited?"
"Excited for what Mom?" the girl replied with a curious face, she then realized and continued "Oh yes, I am excited as you said we are meeting your best friend and Duke William"
"I want to know about your childhood from your friend" the girl answered honestly
"Huh, what do want to know? Haven't I told you everything I did during my childhood" the woman said as she flashed a smile on her face.
"No Mom, I know you must be hiding something from me. I will know all your secrets from your friend" she said with a mischievous look.
And continued as she chuckled "Then I can blackmail you into giving me more pocket money, Heehh "She laughed like a villain.
Hhahahha… Ashley laughed like a witch.
"That's my daughter" the man sitting next to the woman blurted as he high Embraced his daughter.
Looking at both father and daughter the women couldn't help but think 'Are they possessed?'
sigh!
The woman sighed visibly.
"You both, please don't behave like this in Infront of my friend and the duke." the woman continued "Ahh, even their son"
Seeing his wife frustrated he wanted to calm her down "Come on Lily we are just playing you know"
"You better be" the woman sighed looking out of the window at the peaceful lands of the duchy.
Daniel Johnson is a man with broad shoulders. He has brown hair with green eyes which suits well with his handsome face and well-built figure. He Is the CAPTAIN of the knights of the royal army. He is a magic swordsman with a mana circle of level six with wind attributes.
He is very Loyal To the King.
Lily Johnson is a beautiful woman with blonde hair and pink eyes with a nice elegant figure. She married Daniel Johnson. She has a level four mana circle with a water attribute.
Lily and Catherine are best friends since childhood.
Ashley Johnson is a straightforward girl, she has blonde hair and pink eyes just like her mother, she acts quite noble but there is another mischievous side to her that she inherited from her father. Ashley has a well-built figure and a beautiful face. Many boys have fallen for her beauty but she doesn't mind any of them.
Hearing her mother mention a boy she couldn't help but feel disgusted 'he will be like all the boys following me everywhere' Ashley placed her hands on her chin and looked outside the window.
Lily saw her daughter's disinterested reaction she wanted to tease her daughter.
Cough Cough
She succeeded in getting Ashley's attention "Don't fall in love with that boy, ok, he is handsome".
Lily saw her daughter staring at her "It's so worrying he just got out of a one-and-a-half-year coma, Cathy must be worried" Lily was feeling genuinely sad.
"Oh, come on Mother, there is no one who can sweep me off my feet" Ashley continued
"Maybe I can help him out since he was in a coma and must be sad "
Ashley didn't want her mother to be sad.
Daniel laid Lily's head on his shoulder " He will be fine since he woke up" Daniel shivered as he thought of the duke and commented "Afterall he is the son of the duke, the most powerful man in the kingdom"
The carriage stopped and a voice was heard as the door opened
"Sir, mam we have arrived"
"Oh, Yesh finally" Ashley screamed as hopped off the carriage in relief.
The mansion of the duke looked very beautiful, it looked like a replica of TAJ MAHAL.
(Maybe the same contractor)
Welcome sir, mam all the maids said in harmony
Step Step
Hug.
Two women were hugging each other with a pool of tears on their faces.
'What a reunion, so she is Aunt Catherine. Wow! She looks so beautiful' Ashley thought to herself.
"Welcome to Clan Zeus," Catherine said with a welcoming smile on her face.
After their noble greetings, the Johnson family were given a tour by Catherine.
In the main hall:
Catherine and Lily were sitting on the large couch holding each other's hands, on the other couch sat Daniel and Ashley
They were waiting for William, Catherine and Lily were taking lady matters, while Lily kept looking around at the paintings on the walls.
Creek... a sound of the door opening.
"Sorry, I made you guys wait" All present in the hall turned their heads following the voice.
There stood a tall man with a perfect body and a handsome figure as he released his aura.
Gulp
Daniel's face darkened in fear, even though he was powerful he knows he was nothing in front of William.
'What an intimidating aura, the strongest man with a mana circle of seven' Daniel thought as his body wouldn't move 'And the power of lightning'
William stood like a cat in front of a tiger.
On the other hand, it was Lily 'This man is a beast, every time I meet him, he sends chills through my spine' Lily visibly shivered
Catherine seeing the Johnson family in shock tried to break the silence.
"Welcome honey, I just showed them a tour of our mansion" Catherine looked at William with a happy face.
Shit no it's not a happy face, William knew the meaning behind it whenever she gives him that look.
William quickly released his aura and sat on one of the empty seats.
"Please no need for formalities take a seat, you are my wife's colleagues" William flashed a smile.
Everyone quickly obeyed Williams's words and they even forgot to greet them.
Looking at the sudden change in Duke attitude Lily glanced at Catherine 'Cathy you really tamed a beast'
[Even an emperor is a slave in front of his wife, women can really change the world]
They had their normal conversation when Catherine quickly checked on her future daughter-in-law.
Ashley didn't talk at all and kept staring at the ground.
Catherine commented trying to change the mood.
"hauuuggh," Catherine commented and turned to William "Isn't Ashley so cute?"
"A-ahh yes, Ashely looks beautiful," William said with a forced chuckle.
But Ashley looked at William with a forced smile as her sweat dripped down her face.
'She is definitely freaking out' Lily and Daniel thought in harmony.
Lily tried to divert the conversation.
"Huh, by the way, where is your son? Is he still in bed? and what about your daughter" Lily asked with a worried face to Catherine.
"ah no, he is able to walk on his own now, he will be here in a mome-"Before Catherine could finish Alan interpreted.
"Mom, Dad I am here "Alan glanced at everyone as he walked towards the group
"oh- I am Alan Carter, I am pleased to meet you" Alan greeted in a noble way.
"…Wow, how are you so handsome!!!" Ashley screamed as her eyes widened.
Ashley quickly realizing her mistake covered her face and hid behind her mother with a flushed face.
'Shit I am in trouble' Ashley muttered to herself thinking about Alan.
She has not seen anyone as handsome as Alan in her whole life.
Lily and Catherine flashed a smile at each other and whispered into each other's ears.
'What are these two women up to' William and Daniel thought in sync looking at each other.
