Chapter 86: Sam Will Be Your 8th Brother? by Harem-Fan

Inside The Royal Lucas Castle...

Sitting in the King's Study, Leonardo Lucas was filling out paperwork, and having a meeting with the Southern Marquis Olson and the West Duke Canberra.

Freya was debriefing the top men of the Kingdom...

The three men were listening to all of the details of the Exam and looking through all of the evidence retrieved to be added to the previous evidence brought by Falbium.

West Duke, who has been in a dark mood since his only retarded Son had brought acts of treason to light, had been worried that Dial, his now only living heir would be killed in the plot.

"And Dial was killed by the Vampire, but Sam had her brought back to life. Duke, I have more news for you...."

The Duke's heart had stopped for a moment when he heard that Dial was killed, then he was relieved to hear she was alive, but what he heard next floored him...

"Sam Roland and Dial Canberra are now Fiances who have already become one..."

The three men all had unbelievable eyes, and after the silence extended for a minute, the Duke asked.

"You mean the two exchanged Letters and have already gone to bed?"

Freya found his reaction funny, and she twisted the story as Dial asked.

"Did you not take my Husband into a side room with your Daughter and Sam to propose marriage? The two agreed and now you cannot undo the fact they became one."

The Duke, a real snake of a man, understood that Dial and Sam wanted to make their relationship look proper, and indeed, he agreed, so he smiled and said.

"Well, it was supposed to be a secret, but if the young people want to announce it, I cannot undo it now..."

The Duke, who felt nothing was going right for months, and with his family scandal, thought his legacy was on the brink of extinction, suddenly got news that he only dreamed of. That Sam he found irritating before, suddenly seems to be a shiny giant pile of gold and gems in his heart.

The King, seeing him smile in pure joy, felt his Daughter was a disappointment, but he said.

"Duke Canberra, please delay your Daughter's marriage till after the Fall Tournament. I have plans for Sam Roland regarding his status. It will be complicated if you marry your Daughter before then."

The Duke, feeling smug, smiled and asked.

"Why should I delay their love? My Daughter might be pregnant if I am lucky? Besides, I am in the Capital already, so I can easily witness their marriage, haha."

Colt Olson has a hunch about what his old friend wants to do, and he is secretly happy, now that Mari is Sam's wife already, and they have not had children yet.

"Do you want your Daughter to marry a Knight or a Prince? I plan on adopting Sam into the Royal family at the end of the next tournament. I will make him the 8th Prince."

Leonardo is only planning this as his second option, but because Vera has stalled, he cannot wait anymore, with the West and South being interested.

Plus Sam was always his favorite for a King candidate, as his remaining 1st and 6th Princes cannot lead the Kingdom with competence, and Vera is a woman, and the laws do not allow it.

He looks at Freya and asks.

"I assume your Husband has already figured out my intentions, correct?"

Freya just nods without speaking, as Sam has already seen it long ago but accepts it if it comes.

"Well, the smart people who saw my sword on his hip already had guesses, right Colt?"

"Hey, hey, Mari wanted to be with him before I even suggested it. I did not calculate it for her, she got Sam on her own, cough."

He coughed because he forgot Freya was standing there, and he felt uncomfortable talking about it. Though Freya doesn't care at all.

The Duke does calculations of the current situation and says.

"I will only agree to wait, if you spread the news about Dial and Sam being engaged, because with this scandal, my Daughter needs his protection from social attacks. If you do not agree, I will marry them today and adopt him first..."

Leonardo wants to punch this guy, but his request is not over the top... But then he thought he could use it to stir up the Royal Castle, and when the Duke saw the King's evil grin, he was worried.

"Alright, stay in the City for the weekend, and I will host a Garden Party for the elite to explain this scandal, and announce their wedding date to assure the people of Canberra's sincerity to the North, what do you say?"

The Duke thought staying for a few days was fine, plus it would increase the time for Dial to be with Sam. He nodded to agree.

"Mrs Starling, I am exceptionally busy these days with the crisis, could you please house my Daughter with your family till after the Garden Party? I also believe that my Daughter and the 1st Princess of the West Kingdom could use this time to smooth over past issues?"

"I will go to Rosecrans now, and inform Sam and Dial of the change of plans then, goodbye everyone... [Long Range Teleport]"

Pop! And with a flash of red light, Freya vanished leaving the three men alone.

King Lucas said with deep meaning to the other two men.

"Not only has Mari, Dial, and Vera grown absurdly strong, but Kayo Eon, Zoe Zephyr, and Freya Starling are all growing with increasing strengths... We all know this has only one common point... Sam. This is why I am supporting him for the future... Especially with the 3rd new Demon King still in his growth stage. Sam will need to grow fast to deal with the upcoming issues for us old men."

Marquise Olson and Duke Canberra both looked a bit dark at those words.

"How do you want me to deal with your Son and Wife?"

"He has nothing to do with me, and that woman is no longer my wife, do anything you want... Kill them, lock them up, hard labor, it has nothing to do with me and my Daughter."

Colt sips his drink and states.

"Willis, you are a heartless bastard..."

"Call me West Duke, not Willis, you know I hate it. And I have no affection with those who sell us to the Undead. I even punished Douglas with marriage to that Demon Summoner... I think my choice was correct, right?"

Colt grins and says lewdly.

"She might have been corrupted by Demons, but man, those tits were really stupid big, right?"

The Duke looked annoyed, but Leonardo only nodded to agree...

-

At lunch, in the King's Family Dining Room...

Leonardo at the head seat, with his 1st Queen to his left, followed by his 6th Queen, and then his 7th Queen Gale at the end.

To his right, his 1st Son, then his 6th Son, followed by his 7th Daughter Vera sat.

The Queens 2 through 5 do not come because their children are no longer in this world, and they have sat out of affairs, so Leo just loves them separately. Only Queens with children involved in the Kingdom's affairs gather like this.

While the food was being served, Queen Gale was excited to hear about Vera's progress with Vasco Nano, because she had not had time to talk with the servants, due to this meal being called too fast.

"How was your month with little Vasco dear? Did you two fight well together?"

This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.

Vera's hands stopped cutting the Demon Beast meat and she said without emotion.

"How would I know? He spent all of his free time laying on your maid Karen... She is probably pregnant with his child. In the South, men can only have one wife, so I ignored him and hoped he would marry Karen well."

Karen, off to the side, froze in horror, because the 7th Queen is giving her a death stare. She shook her head in denial.

"Vera honey, there must be a misunderstanding, right?"

Vera, who hates her Mother and Karen right now, only shook her head and cut the meat.

"Mother, if you don't believe me, then check if she is pure or not... That is how you can see the character of your talented Vasco Nano... If I am wrong, then I will marry him. But if I am right, kill Karen for me." (Vera knows death will not happen, but she is scaring the maid.)

Gale, who likes Karen, will not agree to it, but she said.

"Karen, if what my Daughter says is true, then pack your bags, or you will face death for lying..."

Plop! Suddenly the little maid fell to her knees and said with a trembling voice...

"My Queen, I could not resist his request... I..."

Before the maid could clarify, the 6th Prince chimed in, hating that maid.

"I see, so when I asked you to become my Mistress, you held onto your chastity, but when the South's man asked you to lay down, you just opened your legs? My 7th Mother, your Southern Maids are good."

-

The 'Playboy', Ryan Lucas, the 6th Prince is 21 years old, 6 feet tall, with black hair, and blue eyes. A Normal Human, with no Circle ability at all, because he refuses to train.

He is afraid of death, and does not want to join brothers 2 to 5 in a long sleep, so he lives a leisurely rich kid's life.

King Leonardo suspects this brat is not his biological son, but cannot prove it. So he ignores Ryan to live a normal life of leisure. No one in the family has black hair, and except for blue eyes, no features look like Leo at all, even Ryan's Mother is depressed about her Son's lack of ambition she tries to cultivate. (Ryan is his biological son, just a worthless man, a figurative black sheep.)

-

Normally, Leo would not let a comment like that fly at the table, but because it was Gale's Maid who caused Vera to be upset, he ignored it.

"Karen, get out, your services are no longer needed..."

Ryan, who hates Southern women the most, said with a happy smile to Karen.

"Hey, now that you are fired, do you want to be my Mistress now? I do not mind you got fooled by Vasco. Plus, I want to flaunt you in front of that loser, haha?"

Ryan is not a bad man that tricks or abuses women, he is just lustful and honest with his lower body. He finds Karen very attractive, and he wants a Southern woman under him for his fantasy and excitement, so he offers for fun. Plus, he really hates Vasco as much as Vera.

Karen, a woman who was just fired, is a practical woman, and walked behind Ryan's seat and stood silently, making Queen Gale look furious, but could say nothing.

Vera seeing Karen standing there with a look of loss, made her smile. She said to Ryan.

"My 6th Brother, I admire you for flexible morals and thinking, I like it!"

Vera gave her lewd-brother a thumbs up and meant it. Now she can tease Karen for being a cheap whore all day long. And her Mother and Vasco can eat shit as a bonus.

The King, seeing the mood in chaos, decided this was the perfect time to throw fire-cors (no gasoline) on the fire.

"At the end of the Fall Tournament, I will be announcing the adoption of an 8th Prince into our Royal Family."

Ryan did not care, but another person gently hit the table and said.

"Father, I think that is a terrible idea, I am still here... Are you planning on passing me over?"

-

Luke Lucas, 1st Prince, 274 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, platinum hair ,and blue eyes. After so long, his low talent only let him reach the 5th Circle Gravity Strong Knight.

He has always avoided dangerous battles, and is a bit of a coward, who only expects the throne to be handed to himself, just because he is the first son.

Luke was one of the key figures to persuade his now dead brothers to seek greater, more dangerous glory to surpass himself.

He even had the balls to propose to Salinas Argus, and is the reason Leonardo and Salinas have a bad relationship, as she felt insulted. Yes the proposal from Leonardo was not for himself but his 1st born Son.

Now this disappointment made North and South diplomacy even more awkward.

-

"Oh? Then I will make you a deal... I will let you enter the Fall Tournament, and if you win, I will make you the Crown Prince and not adopt anyone into the Royal Family... Do you agree?"

His face is ugly, because he knows the Summoners would wipe the floor with himself, but Leo was ready for this and said.

"But you only need to fight any Knight who wins the tournament as the last-fight. And if the Knight is Sam Roland, he will not use magic or summons, what do you say?"

Because Luke is not well informed, he agreed readily. He didn't realize his agreement meant he forfeit rights as the Crown Prince going forward.

"I agree, that is easy, haha."

Vera with uneasiness in her heart asked the question everyone wants to know.

"Father, who are you adopting as the 8th Prince?"

Seeing Vera's face, Leo had to try hard to hide his joy and say it has nothing to do with his schemes.

"Your younger Brother's name will be Sam Lucas, hehe. What do you think Vera and my wife Velvet? He will make for a great Royal Prince. Not only that, he is marrying the West Duke's Daughter after, so we will have a marriage alliance with Duke Canberra on top of it."

Queen Gale who successfully stopped Vera and Sam from joining as a couple, felt she got tricked, and Sam will always be above her.

And Vera realized, Sam would be her legal brother with no ability to be together romantically...

(Adopted children count as blood-related for incest non-marriage. And if he is adopted out of marriage with Vera, she and Sam cannot exchange Letters of Intention or marry. Naturally, this is Leonardo's push on Vera to marry or never marry by the end of the tournament, either-way, he wins.)

Ryan, to nail the mood, yells with his wine glass up and sets a toast.

"Great, I can finally have a younger Brother, I approve, haha... Plus the 7th Mother hates him, so even better, ✨CHEERS✨!"

Only Leonardo and his 6th Son drank, while everyone else was stupefied....
