    Chapter 64: The Headmistress Gift For Her Apprentice? by Harem-Fan

    The next day, I was out shopping with my Parents, Kim, Kelly, Karl, Mari, Daniella, and Rebeca.

    We are currently at a large clothing store, buying outfits for the spring and summer season.

    My Mother has been forcing poor Karl to try on countless outfits, and as I was smiling, Kim asked me.

    "Sam Dear, are you remembering something watching them?"

    Daniella to the side was listening in, as she found a few sets of clothing she liked.

    "Yeah, I remember at the age of 7 when my Mom had me in the second-hand clothing store doing the same thing to me. Back then, I was really annoyed at my Mother for making me do all of this changing room craziness. But seeing it from a 3rd person perspective.... I realized my Mom was just showering me with love."

    ! I then looked at Kim who just kissed my cheek with love in her blue eyes. I patted her hand holding my arm and said to her.

    "I will be gone for a month, but when I get back, the first year of Academy will let out for 3 months, so I will live with all of you during that time, and also that means you Daniella. We need to spend as much time together before you go back to Anubis."

    The charming Earth Mage, with her dirty-blonde hair in a ponytail, nodded and said.

    "Yes, and during this month you are gone, I intend to spend time with your Mother, Kim, and Rebeca to get closer. I will also make sure the 4th home is ready for your return."

    Yes, Rebeca with a new baby arriving, and Kim with Karl will live in my parent''s home, while Daniella, Kelly, Freya, and Zoe will live in the... Well let''s face it, the sexy-time house?!

    The idea was to make my parent''s home a Family-friendly place without the decadence of late night voices, other than baby cries. Sear?h the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    I have enough shame to keep proper family values intact. So when Kim or Rebeca need some loving, we can use a further away guest room to keep it down.

    Rebeca with some maternity clothing in her arms, said to me and Kelly.

    "By the way, I found out that you cannot be Kelly''s Guard Knight. You my Dear are counted as a Mage class, so Evil signed you both up with Nevin and Franklin. It also seems that Vera was paired with a Knight from the southern Kingdom named Vasco Nano, son of the Southern Duchess."

    I felt a bit regretful that Vera will be with that guy, because I thought we could team up like we did at Fargo.

    Well, it seems this is her Mother''s doing, and I cannot get involved. Then Kelly said.

    "That works fine too, because they are both family, and we trust them."

    Rebeca hugged Kelly''s shoulder and teased.

    "Don''t worry, I will tell Nevin to pull Frank away at times, so you and Sam can be alone."

    All the ladies looked at the cold Ice Healer who had turned red from embarrassment, and all of them laughed at her.

    -

    I spent the rest of the weekend making love to Mari, Rebeca, and Kim because it will be a while without them. And yes, sometimes at the same time.

    Unlike before, both Zoe and Freya said they will stay at my side all the time, and not stay back to be summoned later. (.)

    Freya insisted she doesn''t trust the Southern women, and Zoe said I would be sad without my favorite Maid.

    And on Monday morning, Evelina would surprise me with a gift...

    -

    Suddenly the time to depart had come.

    With all the 1st years from the Elite Knight and Mage Academy''s from both the West and North gathered.

    The group going with me consists of... Kelly, Nevin, Frank, Zoe, and Freya. (.)

    The group sending me off consists of... Dakar, Daniella, Evelina, and Leonardo.

    -

    Dakar and Daniella both came to me first and said.

    "Sam, I have already warned the 200 first years from the Anubis group. I warned them anyone who betrays you or harms you will be dealt with. Just show them my token if they play dumb. Good luck, and I will leave Daniella here with you, for your return."

    He then leaned into my ear and whispered, so only he and I could hear.

    "And if you send my Daughter back pregnant, , this King will pardon your actions, ."

    My eyes twitched because his face showed a noble air, unlike his frivolous-tone he spoke with.

    Then Daniella came to me, looked up into my eyes with her brown eyes, and said charmingly.

    "Sir Roland, return to your Princess..."

    She knew all of the first years of her Kingdom were watching us, but she blushed and did it...

    ~! She put her arms around my neck, pulling my head down, and for the first time, gave me a deeper kiss with our tongues entwined. Before, she only kissed with our lips, very gentle and calm.

    As she ended our kiss, a slight strand of saliva broke, and made her complexion blush even more. The students had to believe it now, their Princess was with a man. Many men''s hearts were shattered seeing it.

    She stood back next to her grinning Father, and they both left to say goodbye to some following Teachers from their Academies.

    -

    When I made it back to the North group, I saw both King Lucas and Evelina waiting with my party, next to a large black, silver, and grey carriage. The noble symbol of Rosecrans was on all sides of it, to denote who is the owner of the magical carriage.

    On the Driver''s seat and on the back Guard bench, sat two Royal Knights from the Castle. They are probably around 7th or 8th Circle Knights.

    Evil wanted to hug me, but I can see she is holding back... She playfully twirled her umbrella on her shoulder and said boldly.

    "As your Master~, I will give my precious mobile-home to my favorite Apprentice. It is enchanted with extended interior space, and warded with protection magics. Only an 8th Circle or higher Monster can even scratch it. So travel in peace my Apprentice."

    She then reached into her dress cleavage, pulling out from her neckline a letter. Yes, I later learned it was a space pendant and she loves playing like she is Doraemon to surprise others.

    As she handed the nice smelling letter, she whispered.

    "The front bedroom is ours, while the rear two bedrooms are for the two boys to share, and one for Kelly. And the letter? It is a special note for only you and me to know about, ... Now go and graduate from this test."

    She then spun around and walked to talk with both Freya and Zoe.

    Leonardo Lucas was waiting for me to be free, and he then said to me,

    "I need to get back to see Vera off, but I wanted to say a few things to you... First, those two Guards will protect your carriage and you while around it. They are my longtime close friends, so trust them to protect you guys."

    He then lowered his voice and told me seriously.

    "Vera is very upset about your two''s friendship being tested. My daughter has a difficult time understanding the difference between Pride and Affection with your relationship. Her Mother is to blame for this, but I want you to know, even if she pushes you away, it is not what she really means."

    -

    I feel a bit funny right now remembering my future daughter''s name, and all that the King has done for me.

    My gut has two hunches here... Either he wants to bring me and Vera together, or he plans to adopt me into the Royal Family.

    I believe it is both, meaning if Vera still does not open up with me, he will push his two incompetent sons aside and groom me as an adopted Prince?

    The Prince thing is not out of the question, because apparently Leonardo Marco was not Royalty before his rise, but his now 1st wife was the legitimate survivor of the last Royal Lucas family''s purge. The other survivor was the Second Queen and her unborn children. Her name was Queen Argus.

    She and Leonardo were saved by Evelina and married, then Leonardo became the official King of the North.

    Unlike my Earth life, the way Royalty works here is by Name, and being adopted is the same as having blood in the family.

    The reason for this difference is all about Mage Blood-purity. Mage blood is the most important thing, but unlike the South, the North and West only recognize men as Kings to lead the people.

    The South was actually a Queen from the past who was a Widow, and a powerful Mage, so she rebuilt the South and that was the beginning of the women''s Mage rule, and the hidden conflict with the North.

    In short... Leonardo''s first Wife is the Daughter of the Widow Mage Queen''s Sister-wives from her dead husband.

    And the current Mage Queen Argus and her brother are the children of the Southern Widow Queen. So both Sibling Argus twins are actually blood-cousins of the 1st Queen of the Northern Kingdom, phew...

    So fucking complicated. But this is partially why King Leonardo and Queen Salinas have awkward relations with one another.

    -

    Hearing King Lucas'' words, my left hand unconsciously gripped the handle of the King''s Sword on my left hip, feeling many mixed emotions. And due to Kayo''s warning, I cannot ask Leonardo''s real intentions for me.

    The King, seeing my complicated eyes, and subconsciously rubbing the hilt of the iconic sword, knew my thoughts were in a mess, so he continued.

    "Vera''s Mother commanded her to not let you ride in her carriage, and thus why Evil Loli and I made sure you traveled in higher profile and comfort. I know you and Vera are in a strange place, but no matter what, I am supporting you, even over my Daughter''s feelings. I will not let my 7th Wife give the North to the South. So just follow your heart, even if you and Vera fight."

    I exhale, and put my right fist over my heart, and tell him honestly.

    "King Lucas, I understand, and even if Vera is willful, I will put the needs of the North over personal feelings."

    ! The King smiles warmly nodding his head while patting my shoulder... He then left me standing there uneasy. I said under my breath, and only Zoe heard me as she came behind me.

    "I feel he wants me on the Throne..."

    Zoe, wearing her 1st year Rosecrans uniform, took my right arm and said to me softly.

    "Long ago, the Humans had someone above Kings... They were called an Emperor. They are the Rulers of all Human Kingdoms. I think being a King of the North is only one step in your future my Husband. Saving the Human Race requires a strong man."

    Zoe''s pale-blue eyes reflected my face, and for a moment, I saw myself in the future. It is like Zoe can see the future, so I joke.

    "Do you think I can be an Emperor?"

    ! She kissed me, smiled and said with confidence.

    "Only my Master can become an Emperor in this world. Zoe will be by your side to make any dream you have become a reality... I will even help you Conquer the Elf and Dark Elf one day, Sam."

    Her voice was serious, but when she stuck her tongue out playfully to tease me, I doubted she could see the future, so I smiled and took her to the carriage...

    -

    As I got to my ride, I saw Evelina talking with Freya and Salem. Salem smiled and said to me,

    "Brother Sam, I came here to have your Rosecrans carriage follow mine, so get aboard, and I will bring you to the front of the procession."
