All six of them looked at each other noded and stood up to leave, trying to avoid people pestering them about Master Harry. Daisy, Prince Daniel and Princess Bella also stood up, looking at them with expectant gaze.
The boys, sighed inwardly. Williams gestured them to accompany them. All of them walked out of the class and went to the place where they had planned to meet Lilly, Irene and Rodrick.
The place they had selected was almost empty as it was not lunch time yet. They all took a seat in a cornor by joining three table. They hadn't yet started their conversation when they sawLilly and Irene walk towards them with a wide smile on their faces and. They were about to say something, when they noticed the three new faces. Dave stood up and beaconed them. " Ladies, this is Prince Daniel, Princess Bella and the once you had already met once here is Daisy, granddaughter of Grandmaster Remus."
The two girls bowed slightly qith elegance.
"Everyone this is our sister, Lilly Heathrow and this is ah.... Our friend Irene Emberheart, Winden City' s Duke, Fredrick Emberheart's daughter."
Daniel and Bella also inclined their head in acknowledgement.
"Guys, we are yet to hear about the six of you. How did you all ended up as Grandmaster Harry's disciples? Why are you here in the arts department instead of in the combat division?" Daniel asked them, eagerness clear on his face.
"You explain Al...." Dave shrugged and sat down talking with Lilly and Irene.
Alan sighed...
Prince Daniel..... "Sorry Alan, but please refrain from calling us prince or princess outside the castle. It's hard to find friend or even meet someone who would even dare to sit with us like you guys are now. Haven't you noticed how everyone in our class were giving us a wide birth? We are honestly tired of it and want to have genuine friends." Daniel said cutting Alan in mid sentence and Bella noded in agreement to her brothers words solemnly.
Alan inclined his head slightly, smiling warly and continued. " As you already know, I am Alan, Alan Morgan, This is Williams Morgan my first brother, Dave Morgan our second brother, Chris Morgan our third brother, Ben Morgan the fourth and Bob Morgan our fifth brother." We are all from Morgan family of Green town.
"And we also belong to the Heathrow family of the Winden city." Alan pointed at Lilly while saying this fondly.
All the three felt confused. And looked at Alan in Puzzlement. Alan looked at Lilly, who smiled warmly and said, " I am not rose to start punching you the moment you state the reality Big brother."
Alan took a deep breath, " Actually Williams here is the grandson of John Morgan, I am Heler Helen's grandson and....." Befor Alan could continue, Dave completed the sentence "And All of us are adopted by the two families out of their kind and generous heart. For which we will always be greatful in this life and even in our next life. I am David, this Christopher, that serious looking one is Benjamin and this is the youngest of us, Bobby. We are all brothers not because of the blood in our bodies but..." He stopped there for a couple of seconds and then continued, " You might say its the fate and the bond that had developed between us over these years." Dave introduced the other four properly.
Ouch...." Lilly, why did you hit me? Dave asked in a hurtful tone rubbing the back of his head. Who simply shrugged and the remaining all snickered.
"I thought you said, you are not Rose to start hitting us for saying the truth." Dave pouted. Lilly smiling fondly ruffled his hair and hugged him from the side making Dave smile peevishly.
"Well, we are not bound by blood, but, by the bond and the feelings that our heart had forged. For us its stronger than any blood relationship." Lilly said proudly.
The three of them didn't make a sound. They were listening to the conversation carefully.
"As per how we met Master Harry, he was the weapons master at Winden academy. Why did he decided to choose us, its difficult to say. As you may know, he is a bit..... Ah..... You may say eccentric and unpredictable." Alan continued.
"But then why did you chose to get into arts section and not Combat arts division?" Bella asked this time curiously.
" Honestly, when Master Harry is guiding us, why select combat arts again? Besides there are lots of things to learn in life, isn't it princess.... Sorry, I mean Bella." Alan corrected himself with a peevish grin.
"But again, how did you get through the entrance exams if you had studied combat arts during your academy?" Daisy asked with complete bafflement.
"Actually, we had taken a couple of extra subjects during our academy studies. That helped us during the entrance exams." Williams explained.
The three felt that these six young men were hiding the truth but they didn't pressed too hard as, it was their first meeting. And they didn't wanted to spoil it by pressing too much into their personal matters.
Daniel spoke with an embarrassed smile. " Honestly guys as you said, I had also been training with the army training masters, general and the renowned combat arts specialists. I was even lucky enough to learn Trading and economics from the traders guild. However my Father and mother this time forced me to learn arts and a few crafts so that I can be elegent and be a gentleman. As my mother calls it, "Not being a complete barbarian who know only to swing a weapon. Or a ruthless trader who only knows how to make profit." Daniel shook his head in frustration. And unfortunately even my father agrees with his wife. What a pair, they are. Truely made for each other. That's why I am also in this division. I, the most capable, handsome and quick witted person in my entire family is being consided as a barbarian by his own parents." Daniel started to shake his head in disbelief.
Everyone started to laugh at his self mocking. Bella added, " Honestly brother you were behaving like a barbarian. Only things you did all the time was swinging his weapon and practice combat arts."
"Bella, not you too..... " Daniel made a hurtfull express and made a crying face. Making everyone laugh again.
