Chapter 351 - Academy Life (2/2)

Max looked at Magnus in surprise, it was rare of him to strike up a conversation so Max wondered what he wanted and nodded, then Magnus showed a slight smile as he spoke

”Then let's meet up after school… Annabel the break is almost over”

Annabel nodded before she quickly ate the rest of her food and said her goodbye to Max before she left along with her brother, Max sighed before he also quickly finished his food and went on to the next class…

After classes were over Max stood near the gate of the academy and waited for the two siblings to show up, as he stood near the gates he attracted attention, after all he was famous in the academy for being mysterious, despite having no last name and not benign a noble he had managed to get into the academy that was the best in the nation and then there were his mysterious eyes, his hair was no longer the long overgrown mess that it was when he was younger but cut short and looked rather neat which meant that his eyes no logner were covered, his pupils were shaped like penegrams, of course some of the teachers and a few of the students knew what these pattnes meant so they avoided him like the plague, but for others it was simply weird and mysterious, Annabel seemd to be in that camp for a bit before she started to approach Max last year afterwhich the two of them gradually became friends, Max stood and reminicened about the only real friend he had in the academy when she arrived and spotted him at the gates

”Max!”

Annabel's smile was dazzling as she waved at Max before quickly running over, Max found her to be slightly cute, like a puppy that had found someone to play with, though cold water was quickly purred over him as he saw Magus' face as he also walked over, the two of them looked each other in the eyes for a few moments before Magnus spoke

”Let's change locations, we need to have a talk”

Annabel nodded to, she looked oddly serious too, though at that moment a butler approached the three of them and spoke to Max

”Young master Max, your grandmother has summoned you”

Max looked conflicted for a moment, then the butler showed a smile and looked over Annabel and Magnus before he asked

”Are these your friends?”

Max thought for a moment before he nodded and spoke

”Yeah, that they are”

The butler showed a bright smile

”That's excellent, if I may be so bold to suggest, why don't you bring your friends with to meet your grandmother? She has been worried about whether you were making friends, I believe meeting these two will definitely put her at ease”

Max nodded, he knew his grandmother and grandfather had been worried about his academy life and he wasn't exactly keeping the fact that they were the king and queen secret, he just had not mentioned it so he quickly agreed with the butler

”Sure, do the two of you mind?”

Annabel blushed a little as she muttered

”Meeting Max's family…”

Magnus looked at his sister's lovestruck expression which the person on the receiving end of the affection wasn't understanding and sighed before he spoke to the butler

”No, we don't mind”

The butler showed a smile and gestured for the three of them to follow after him over to an emblem less carriage, the three of them climbed inside it and sat down, Magnus commented

”This sure is a comfortable carriage… your grandmother must be rich”

Max showed a smile but kept silent as the carriage began moving Annabel seemed to have received from the fact that she was going to meet Max's family and began chatting with Max again, though both Max and Magnuszx could tell that she was a little nervous, though only Magnus realized why.

The carriage passed through the streets of the capital city and soon it arrived and passed through the gates of the noble district before it swiftly made its way down main street and soon passed through the gates of the castle, at that moment the two demon siblings seemed to realize as Annabel laughed nervously before she spoke

”Ahahaha… If this is a joke it isn't funny Max…”

Max showed a smile, that's when Magnus asked in a slightly nervous voice

”Hey, Max… Your grandmother couldn't be… The queen, right?”

Max's smile widened slightly before he nodded

”That's right”
