After walking for 4 minutes, we arrived in front of a large door.

Heize slowly opened the door for us and I was slowly greeted by the sight of a beautiful and elegant room with 6 people inside.

The first person I saw is a middle aged man with brown eyes and black hair, wearing black clothes with gold at the hems and tassels on the shoulders. He was sitting on the sofa near the window and is drinking tea, he has a majestic ruler's presence to him, indicating that he's the king of this country.

Beside him is a woman who seems to be 2 feet shorter than him, among the entire group, she is the shortest, she has blonde hair, brown eyes, and wears white elegant clothes tailored for royalty and exudes a dignified aura befitting of a queen. Between these two people sat two kids around 5-7 years old that looked a lot like each other, they must be the twins.

On the seats on left and right, there sat two persons who seems to be around my age. The woman also had a blonde hair and brown eyes, she was wearing simple but refined white clothes, she has similar looks to the short woman earlier, this one must be the first princess.

On the other seat, opposite of hers, there sat a man with pitch black hair and hazelnut colored eyes. Contrary to the other three who seemed tense, he just sat there and smile at the three of us who just arrived.

"Mother, father, everyone, I have returned." Airi, who was beside me at that moment stepped forward and greeted everyone in a refined manner, showing that she is a genuine princess and has the capabilities to back it up.

"Oh? you're finally here, sit down." Said the middle aged man as he pointed to the sofa on the opposite side.

"Yes"

After replying, Airi walked towards the seat but she noticed that I was still standing and not showing any kind of movement.

"Nii-sama?" she asked me.

Perhaps surprised that Airi is already calling me in that manner, the 6 people in the room had a shocked expression on their faces.

It looks like they remembered their status as they immediately composed themselves. But the shock still lingers a bit on their faces.

"What is it?" I replied.

"Why are you just standing there? take a seat with me"

"Your father only said that you take a seat, it would be a little impudent of me to follow suit without his permission." I replied in a calm manner.

At times like this, I still must show some level of respect as they are true royalties and are my soon-to-be relatives. And also, the king seems to be testing me on this one, that's why I concluded that this is the most suitable response.

All of them wore surprised looks as they didn't expect me to respond that way.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but I think I saw the queen's lips curl up slightly as if she was entertained by my response.

"F.A.T.H.E.R?" Airi looked over to the king looking as if she is going to clobber him.

"Y-YESS! s-son, you may also sit down" He said while stammering. He looks really frightened by Airi as you can see small sweats dribbling down his forehead.

It's been a long while since I last heard someone call me 'Son' so I was momentarily stunned.

After sitting down, the atmosphere around us became much more tense than before, no one was able to say anything for several minutes.

In all honesty, I have never been to a situation like this, so I don't know what to say right now. After a few more minutes, the king spoke in a gentle tone.

"How are you feeling right now?" He asked me

"Pretty normal, I guess? just a little nervous"

"haha, I see... by the way, let us introduce ourselves first." He said as he fixed his posture.

"My name is Sigfried leid Elune, I am the king of this country"

The others also followed him.

"My name is Elizabeth Elune, Queen of Elune and the Head of the hospital."

"I-I am Lily von Elune, first Princess of this nation, the captain of silver blades, and the vice captain of our kingdom's strongest forces, the immortal blades. I-If you encounter any problems in the future, you can rely on me!" She said, it looks like she was so excited about this meeting that she started stuttering a little.

"My name is Vincent Re Elune, the first prince, and the captain of immortal blades. If you have something on your mind feel free to ask me, instead of that boring woman over there"

"Oy, can you repeat what you just said?"

"Boring woman?"

"Now you've done it!"

In just a second, these two suddenly started bickering, I guess this is just how they usually show that they appreciate each other.

"Sigh* They're at it again." Said Airi who is next to me in an exasperated tone of voice. It looks like these kind of things happen frequently.

"Anyways, Allow me to introduce myself again, My name is Airi Sei Elune, I am the second princess of Elune kingdom. Nice to meet you." She said to me with a bright smile.

"And also, those two kids over there are Klee and Klei, the youngest out of the six of us, they are twins."

After hearing their introductions, I nodded and greeted them back.

"It is an honor to meet all of you, My name is Lucas, Lucas white, age 16, a traveler." I introduced myself as I bowed my head a little.

"You were a traveler before we found you?" Asked the king in astonishment. No one would've expected that a person that has a fragile body will be traveling in a world filled with monsters and demons.

"Yes, that's right"

"Does that mean you always have escorts on you?" Now it was the first princess, Lily who asked me.

"Well, yes, you're right about that" I replied.

I didn't really lie on this answer, Back on Earth, I'm always being watched by my subordinates from the dark. They said that it's not for protecting me, but for preventing me from touching a scum.

Those insane idiots even said that I'm a holy being that is not meant to be touched by just anyone.

That being said, they won't touch an innocent person, even if they're from the slums. Because the moment they tried to harm an innocent person, they would be subjected into harsh punishment.

"I see, but where are you getting the capital that you use to hire them?"

"Oh that? I made quite the sum from selling things that I find from traveling"

"I see..."

After that there were a few seconds of silence until the queen spoke.

"When you're out traveling, where do you usually sleep?" She asked me with an intonationless voice.

"I mostly sleep in the woods or by the roadside, I only sleep for 1 night at an inn, once every 3 months."

"How did you escape from the hands of Hamor kingdom?"

"They tried to make me a spy, and with all the training I received from them, I escaped."

"Why did you escape?"

"A voice one day rang out in my head, telling me to leave the nation."

"Why did you follow that voice?"

"For someone like me who doesn't know his purpose and worth at that time, I just gambled everything and left."

"How do you get the food you eat?"

"I ask my escorts to hunt them for me."

"For how long have you been traveling?"

"I've been traveling for 12 years already."

We exchanged questions and answers about how I've been doing for the past 12 years. The exchange kept going on and on for an hour until the Queen finally stops and seemed to nod her head.

I didn't know what she meant by that but I just ignored it.

"Well then, Lucas, it may be a little rude for me to say this after everything you've suffered, but... will you become our famil- No, let me rephrase that... Will you recognize us as your family?" He said in a gentle tone.

"It may take some time for me to fully accept all of you... are all of you willing to wait for someone like me?" I asked them.

This is my honest opinion, after all I still hold my real parents in my heart, I can't just move onto a new family and disregard them. For this, it might take some time for me to accept them wholeheartedly.

"I'm willing to wait."

"I'm willing to wait for you."

"I'm willing to wait for nii-sama."

"Klee and klei will also wait for big bro."

All my siblings responded with a gentle smile on their faces.

"I'm also willing to wait for you, my son." said the king.

After that, I looked over to the queen and she also looked at me.

"Follow me." she said as she quietly stood up and proceeded to enter a room.

I followed shortly after and closed the doors behind us.

After I entered, I saw the queen just looking at me with stern eyes.

"Hey, do you think mom will do 'that' again?" Asked Vin.

"I'm sure of it, she always brings us to another room when she's about to do 'that'."

"What do you think? father?"

"I also think so. Shall we eavesdrop on them?"

""Yea!""

""Klee and Klei will also join""

"Sighh* these people really are..." said Airi in an exasperated voice, but she also joined their plans.

After that, they ganged up and put their heads on the door like idiots to eavesdrop.

The queen just stared at me for a few seconds...

after a while, something happened that surprised me.
