Chapter 191: Home & Hearth Inn? by Harem-Fan

     Late at night, Leonardo Lucas was in his office, working on some diplomatic adjustments, all caused by his Crown Prince. As he was contemplating the new changes from the South Kingdom, the bookcase in his room moved...

     Click Slide~! A group of 4 black clad Secret Guard, 2 men and 2 women, came quietly into the office, put their fist over their hearts and said in unison.

     [[[[We greet the King!]]]]

     Leo pointed to the four chairs in a semi-circle in front of his desk and said calmly.

     "Sit and report."

     The two women sat in the center seats, while the two men took the outside seats. Midnight started the meeting.

     [These are my three new subordinates I have been recruiting for the future change you have planned, all three are trusted persons to the Crown Prince.]

     She points to the man next to herself, that radiates a 5th Circle Strong Knight, and introduces him.

    [He is known by the call-sign of, Sky. He uses the Electricity Element. His background is in the Royal Knight group.]

     Then Midnight points to the woman, a 5th Circle Dark Mage, next to herself.

     [This is Raven, a local noblewoman, who uses the Dark Element.]

     She then points to the last man next to Raven, a 5th Circle Gravity Vanguard Knight, and says.

     [And finally, he is called Orion, a merchant based in Pearl City.]

     (A/N: All members of the Secret Guard wear magic jewelry like rings that cover their true Class and Circle Levels, showing 5th Circle, to protect their real identity. The magic item [Shadow Cloak], also hides the face, voice, and builds to a small degree.)

     As a rule, the only identity that King Lucas knows is Yasmin. And as the Commander and Spymaster, only she knows the true identities of each member. Not even the three new players here know who one another is, but...

     Unbeknown to King Lucas, all 4 Secret Guards in front of him have one thing in common with one another... They are all reincarnated former Greek Gods from Sam's Earth. So Leonardo asked.

     "How is the Crown Prince, 1st Princess, and the new Prince doing?"

     Midnight just reports the kinda truth.

     [After celebrating the news of a healthy boy, Sam Lucas dragged his wife into the bedchambers to show his "affection", and to make more royal children... The Princess tried to refuse, but... Well, they are currently still at it. The new Prince Arthur is doing very well as a Dual-Element Gravity and Water Aura user. That is all.]

     The King and Rebeca are laughing in their hearts hearing Yasmin talk like that, but the other two men had unknown expressions. (Sam got a mental high-five from one, and shock from the other.)

     "Well, even if Yasmin is forcefully taken it is fine, they are Husband and Wife, and to not be kicked out of the royal family, she agreed to be his wife, so let's move on..."

     From a space-pendant, Midnight handed the King a report.

     [Another hidden bloodline of the 1st King was recently noticed. This person was not discovered before, due to class and looks... She and her father do not have the normal white or blonde hair, or blue eyes, and with a different last name, it was overlooked. So this is the background report gained so far.]

     The King opened the folder and read some of it out-loud in surprise.

     "Huh?! She was right under our nose in plain sight... Her Father is the illegitimate Son to the 1st King, and was hidden during the Widow Queen's civil war!"

     Midnight confirmed.

     [It seemed the mother of her Father could not escape the Royal Capital purge, so she married a commoner man and gave his last name to the boy. And the Widow Queen was not aware her Husband had this one night fling and the Grandmother of this woman didn't report it to anyone at the time. We only discovered the clue when my operative found some old letters in the family's storage-room.]

     He said aloud the name of the family business.

     "Her father is running a small Inn inside the southeast district. And it is called, The Home & Hearth Inn. They are in debt and almost lost their home and business recently, but their Daughter came to help, failing her 3rd year? Why would Kayo fail her for this... She had a legitimate reason to miss her trial, right?"

     Raven pointed to the folder and said.

     [King Lucas, it was not Headmistress Kayo, but Consort Rebeca Glen who held her back.]

     "Why?"

     [It seems that Rebeca caught the Crown Prince with this woman's Letter of Intention in his storage device, and then failed the woman to repeat. It seems she may have been a bit jealous of this Gravity Healer, I think?]

     King Lucas was surprised that Sam actually had this very girl's letter still, then smiled when he saw the woman's picture, and the lack of a husband or lover. He then said in a good mood.

     "This is perfect, I will marry them and adopt her into the Royal Family. It seems the next generation of the Kingdom will have many good seedlings running around the castle again, haha. Then I De-"

     [Please stop my King, don't do it this way.]

     As Midnight interrupted himself, he asked.

     "What am I missing, this girl is just like Yasmin in the background, and she seems perfect for Sam?"

     Yasmin, who already talked with Rebeca about her, offered.

     [Look, Vera is loved by half of the people, Yasmin is loved by the radical-nobles, and if you force Sam to marry yet another Princess without love, the relationship will be weak... I believe if she repeats the next year at Sam's side, the two will fall in love with some string-pulling on my part. I can make it so she is partnered with Sam on school missions. And with Kelly Walker now pregnant, it just so happens that Sam needs a healer, right? Then if they fall in love, you can implement your adoption plan then.]

     "Why would Sam fall in love with her, if he already rejected her?"

     Midnight looks to Raven to speak, and she does.

     [The two have a connection, and the Crown Prince has already begun to help her. Their connection is the Home & Hearth Inn. As you know, Sam is very talented in cooking, and loves it a lot. While he was still in Elementary Knight school, he worked part-time at the restaurant of the Inn.]

     Raven pointed out some documents to the King and continued.

     [He did this for a few reasons... First, he was poor and wanted to help his parents with savings. Second, he needed a real kitchen to practice his cooking skills, and lastly, the Inn was only two blocks away from his childhood home, and he went there all of his youth to eat. Samantha Heartland came into some contact with Sam as he was an employee, and Sam knew her parents, but...]

     Raven shrugs her shoulders and says.

     [Sam ignored all beautiful girls back then, and only crushed on his neighbor big-sister and the idol of the Mage Queen. He basically does not notice his past interactions. Even Rebeca Glen had to stalk him for marriage. In short, he was dense with women, even Samantha Heartland.]

     The King understands Sam's past views well, and believes Sam ignored the girl, so he asked the important point.

     "How did Sam help her, and why?"

     This time, it was Sky to answer.

     [When Sam was leaving school with Vera and Lane Lucas, he stopped this woman, apologized to her for Rebeca Glen's move, gave her a storage-device, Gravity Cores, and gold. When the Prince left, the girl was crying while holding the bag, and I believe she was happy.]

     Yasmin then said.

     [So Miss Heartland went home, paid the family debt, and is currently working there for the summer to help her parents. The others and I believe she was moved by the Prince' actions, and thus why I said to wait... There is no rush needed.]

     "Fine, but if nothing happens by graduation, my idea will be executed. Now what is the next topic?"

     Orion, who has not spoken, finally said respectfully.

     [My King, with the death of the Pirate King Barbados, and the fall of Demon Island, the Eastern Sea has become chaotic and dangerous. We believe that the 3rd year should go to the independent islands and wage maneuvers against the slavers. Normally the 3rd years fight off the extra Demons from the island, but now they are not an issue, but the Human problem is bad for both the North and South. Also, based on your previous topic, this is a great chance to send Prince Lucas and Miss Heartland on a romantic cruise killing slavers.]

     Even though this new member of his Secret Guard is respectful and well spoken, his instinct is to slap this guy, but he ignored this impulse, and said.

     "That is a good plan, because we need to deal with them a bit before they get stronger. What is next?"

     Midnight brought up the new Southern Diplomat.

     [I investigated the behind the scene events with Sam and his new Anubis Wife, Jasmin. The new Ambassador is not a real threat, but her secret task is to learn about the current laws of Northern Harems... She and Headmistress Ulna will be coming to marry former Prince Salem, who was married to Amy Holt. This seems to be an olive branch for the North and West, to show the Mage Queen is leaning away from her Mother's excessive views.]

     Another file was handed to the King from Sky, and he reported.

     [Son of General Donald, Chuck Donald married the Ambassador and Salem Argus' Daughter, Eve Eden, and she has arrived. She is suspected to have been a part of the Exodus Secret Guard, but no proof can verify this. Sam Lucas was asked about the motives of this marriage and we were told... The two are really in love, and Eve just wants to be closer with Queen Velvet Gale and himself, while loving Chuck Donald, who she married in-front of both parents, Sam Lucas, and was witnessed by Mage Queen Salinas Argus herself.]

     Leonardo put his hand on his face, and sighed.

     When the four people saw this, they were confused, they then saw the King take the current document he was writing and use his Gravity Aura to shred it, then he said.

     "I was about to deny the 9th Circle Elly Eden, till I heard Sam approved. Now I have to let that stiff woman in... Velvet is going to be annoying with her family here, sigh..."

     Thankfully, the King could not see the punchable smiles on his Secret Guard's faces, or he would flip his desk.

     Then another hour of Kingdom issues was discussed, and at the end, the King had another idea.

     "Hey, the summer is long, any chance to bump the two Sam's together for a run-in?"

     Orion held up his hand, and the King nodded.

     [Use one of Sam's friends, Chuck, Ryan, or Salem to bring Sam to the Home & Hearth Inn while she is there. No need to be fancy, chemistry should do its own thing. Then Sam will know where to find her during the summer... He might want to cook.]

     The King smiled and told Midnight.

     "Tell my lecherous Son, Ryan, about the beautiful Samantha, and have Sam take him there... That should be a good spark, the whole love triangle aspect, hehe. My useless Son can help out with his skills."

     Yasmin had to hold back her laughter hearing the King, but said.

     [Sure, I think Sam asked to have drinks with him, so this can work. Ryan will leave soon, so I will get the order carried out immediately.]

     "Good, I want more Lucas babies around here!"

-

     At this moment...

     "Ahhhh~! I love you... Husband~!"

     Just as I was letting out my last dose of baby-juice, I heard Lane call me her Husband, and I really unloaded at her hot ass words.

     But when my Sage-Mode just hit, as I lay on top of Lane, my spine chilled.
