Chapter 5 Aftermath of the Battle at Lion Pride's Royal Palace
Queen Emilia Elizabeth VonArcher: "There are a few injured among the staff within the palace, yet everyone is alive, from what I was able to see on my way to this side of the castle there are more than 55 dead, 500 wounded, 200 unconscious, yet uninjured, many of the castle walls are destroyed, a sections of the palace completely destroyed,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "What about our daughter Laura Crystal VonSplinter VonArcher?"
Queen Emilia Elizabeth VonArcher: "Did You Forget that she went to train at the wizard's guild?"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "I'm afraid that with everything that was going on here in the palace including the recent attack moments ago, I did forget about giving her permission to go to the wizard's guild for her training,"
Head Maid of the royal palace Ashley Andrea McChef VonStructure: "All the maids are alive yet practically all of them injured including all the palace chefs as well, at the moment there isn't anyone who can clean or cook due to the severity of their injuries, we will have to hire outside help,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "I've been wanting an excuse that is non related to my duties as a king to leave the palace grounds, the circumstances under which this opportunity presented itself were quite unfortunate, its been several centuries since my visit to the human realm if that female chef passed on her recipes to her descendants then before I leave to the human realm go to the human realm and hire a few lawyers and locate her descendants, after locating them please inform me immediately,"
Queen Emilia Elizabeth VonArcher: "You don't mean the family of that human woman for whom you were willing to give up your birthright as heir to the throne before we met do you?"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "If You are referring to the first woman I ever loved then yes, I am referring to her family, Just as told you when we met the only woman with whom I could have had any children before you was the Erica Emilia VonStratos of whom I heard had 3 daughters, and later on one of them married into the Strange family of wizards,"
Princess Sonia Sofia Rafael VonArcher: "According to my Aunt Princess Sofia Magdalena Rafael VonSplinter the granddaughter of the woman you first fell in love with whom married into the strange family of wizards is stil alive to this day, she has kept in touch with her own descendants as well as the descendants of her aunts over the last few centuries, however my aunt doesn't know anything else beyond that piece of information about their lineage, however, after encountering from afar the eldest of the 3 daughters that you mentioned ended up having a minor injury, from which my aunt was able to collect a small sample and discovered traces of elven magic in her blood, later on she checked the other 2 sisters while they were still alive and only one of them had elven magic in her blood as well, which according to my aunt based on her investigation those eldest two daughters of the first woman you ever loved truly are your biological daughters, in other words my elder sisters,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "WHAT DID YOU SAY?, I had 2 daughters of whom I NEVER KNEW EXISTED, of whom I missed my chance of ever meeting them, WE MUST LOCATE THEIR DESCENDANTS AT ONCE, THIS IS NO LONGER A SMALL WISH, NOW IT'S AN ORDER TO ATTONE FOR THE MISTAKE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO HELP THOSE DAUGHTERS OF MINE WHEN THEY NEEDED ME, THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE ORDER FIND THEM AT ONCE!!!!"
Professor Julius Picard Strange VonStrangle: "Sorry for the late arrival, as well as the sudden interruption but one of the women you mentioned, the daughter of the youngest daughter of the woman who was your first love, her name is Maria Rosa Strange VonStratos, and I can easily locate her through my apprentices because she is currently living in the mansion of the father of my apprentices which is located in New York city, within the human realm,"
Alexander Arthur VonMarker VonStratos: "Professor Strange, what did you just say?"
Professor Julius Picard Strange VonStrangle: "the woman that the king is trying to locate is Maria Rosa Strange VonStratos,"
Pedro Ernesto VonMarker VonStratos: "Professor Strange we my brother and I are the descendants of the aunts of Maria Rosa Strange VonStratos, in other words we are the descendants of one of the sisters of Maria Rosa Strange VonStratos' Mother, we found out just a few years ago that Maria Rosa Strange VonStratos is daughter of one of the sisters of an ancestor of ours through our mother's side of the Family,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "HAHAHAHA, MANIFICENT, SPLENDID NEWS, TO THINK THAT THE MYSTERIOUS POWERFUL YOUNGSTERS ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF THE DAUGHTERS I JUST FOUND OUT I HAD WITH THE FIRST WOMAN I EVER LOVED, I COULDN'T BE BOTH SAD BECAUSE MY 2 OF MY DAUGHTERS DIED several centuries ago and HAPPY BECAUSE 2 OF THEIR DESCENDANTS AS THOUGH THIS WAS A FATEFUL ENCOUNTER ARE STANDING HERE IN FRONT OF ME, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY KIDS,"
Royal Advisory Gerald Armando Ferdinand McGuiver: Your Majesty you can't be serious, can you? For god's sakes there is no possibility of them being your descendants, much less their blood containing elven magic,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "I am serious, so serious that if what you say is true about them being my descendants turns out to be a lie, then I will promote you to become my second royal advisor, but if their blood does contain elven blood and more specifically the magical signature unique to my ancestry then you shall be fired do you accept my wager, if you do then bring my sister here immediately!!"
Royal Advisory Gerald Armando Ferdinand McGuiver: "As you command your majesty, I shall bring your sister to the palace,"
Princess Sonia Sofia Rafael VonArcher: "If you are just calling my aunt for this blood test to see if their blood contains elven magic and more specifically our ancestry's unique magical signature, then I can test their blood personally since my aunt taught me how to do such tests and how to recognize our family's unique magical signature within our blood, allow me to run the tests myself, I am curious to see the results myself,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "thank you very much for your assistance with this delicate matter sweetheart, and please once you are finished inform us of the results immediately,"
Princess Sonia Sofia Rafael VonArcher: "As you command Father,"
Narrator: "during the 4 hours that it took to run the tests, Princess Sonia Sofia Rafael VonArcher discovered that the twins had the magical signature that was unique to their family but also an evolved version of it, the according to the knowledge written from royal doctors of previous generations, this version of the family's unique magical signature existed when their family members mixed with ancient elves as well as divine elves, however it also contained the unique family magical signature of the most powerful sage family in existence, along with the unique magical signature of one of the 8 legendary wizard families in existence, which was far too unexpected to find the unique magical signatures of 3 different families in the blood of the twins,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "Please tell me the results of your discovery, and judging by your look it doesn't seem to be good news,"
Royal Advisory Gerald Armando Ferdinand McGuiver: "Which means my position from being temporary shall become permanent,"
Princess Sonia Sofia Rafael VonArcher: "Will the two of you remain Silent for once?!!! I have wonderful, exciting yet unexpected news to mention, the first set of proof that they are indeed your descendants father is one of three unique magical signatures found in their blood, second the version of the unique magical signature that is exclusively within the blood of our descendants, followed by the fact that the second unique magical signature corresponds to the family of the most powerful sages in the history of the realms who were all borderline to becoming a family of Magisters for multiple generations in a row, and next is the discovery of the unique magical signature of one of the 8 most powerful wizard families in the history of the realms, finally the version of the unique magical signature of our family that they have is an evolved version of our family's unique magical signature which was only seen during the generations in which our ancestors mixed with ancient elves and divine elves,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "Magnificent, splendid, wonderful, excellent news, well you heard my eldest daughter, then ALLOW ME TO ANNONCE THAT FROM NOW ON BOTH Pedro Ernesto VonMarker VonStratos AND Alexander Arthur VonMarker VonStratos ARE PART OF THHE ROYAL FAMILY AND AS SUCH THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BECOME HEIRS IN THE FIGHT FOR SUCCESSION OF THE THRONE, AS OF THIS MOMENT ON THEIR STATUS OF BEING UNKNOWN SHALL CHANGE TO THAT OF A PRINCE, AND THAT IS MY FINAL WORD AS KING ABOUT THIS MATTER, NOW moving on to urgent matters, Ivan how much of the royal family's gold remains? Due to the current emergence of family descendants and current emergencies in different parts of the kingdom we shall the royal family's treasure vault, if my calculations are correct there is hardly any gold left in the kingdom's reserve treasure vaults,"
