She admitted it was quite tempting, but couldn't help feeling frustrated, thinking that if she were Mr. Colin, she wouldn't come to such a troublesome place.

The only one remaining silent was the second son, Francois, who forever stayed with his books, as if he had lost interest in the superficiality of humans.

At this moment, clear footsteps suddenly came from outside, and Edmond, who had just sat down, stood up almost reflexively, excitedly looking at the lady who also rose.

The footsteps stopped, and soon there was a knock on the door. Edmond almost instantly moved to the door, pulling it open with a perfect smile.

"Mr. Lumi! Welcome to—"

The words choked in his throat.

The calm and serious face made him instinctively feel awe and a fear of unpredictable fate.

The family unconsciously held their breath.

Even bookworm Francois quietly lifted his head, and Little Emily stopped humming.

She sneaked a glance at her sister, whose beautiful face was full of tension, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her dress.

"Mr. Dantes," Lumi began slowly, still looking gentlemanly but with an almost imperceptible hint of laughter in his eyes, "Prince Colin has carefully reviewed your genealogy and family history. I am here to inform you—"

"Wait a moment! I suddenly remembered there seems to be an album in the suburban house! I recall seeing it before; it was a painting made by Lady Margaret's child for her! That... might prove something." Anna looked at Edmond anxiously, winking at him.

Edmond's heart seemed about to leap out of his chest, stammering as he spoke.

"Right, right! I remember too—there are also a few relics there that will surely make the Prince recall something once he sees them."

"I, I can go get them!" Lucian jumped up from the sofa, forgetting how far the Dantes' farm was from there.

Watching the family lose their composure, Lumi couldn't help but find it amusing, but remembering they were, after all, the "relatives" of Lord Demon King, he gently coughed and said in a soft tone.

"Please calm down, Mr. Dantes, and Mrs. Dantes... Prince Colin has already confirmed your identity. There is no doubt, Fernando Colin is indeed his great-great-great... grandfather. Although he used the alias Geoffrey after being stranded in the wilderness, the events that occurred match the Colin family genealogy, so we believe they are the same person."

This statement was like a thunderclap on the plains, exploding with a 'bang' in the hearts of the Dantes family.

Edmond was stunned for a long while, his lips trembling, then his whole being visibly brightened, revealing an unprecedented glow.

Lumi could not help but be surprised.

This situation he had only seen when Lord Demon King promoted his followers, never expecting that his own words could have such power.

Truly deserving of being Lord Demon King...

Powerful beyond measure, unfathomable!

"Is it... true?"

Anna Dantes was the same; her lips slightly trembled, eyes quickly reddening, her voice tinged with tears from excitement.

"By Saint Sis..."

Perhaps her corset was too tight, causing her to almost faint from excitement, but luckily Edmond quickly caught her, preventing her from falling.

Not bothering with how embarrassing his parents were, Lucian quickly walked to the door and looked anxiously at Lumi, his eyes burning with ambition.

"Then will the Prince... will Prince Colin meet us? I, I have always admired him... I want to shake his hand!"

He still remembered his sister Sofia's words—Mr. Hillfin could get him into the Royal Knight Order's reserve with just one word.

Of course.

With an uncle like Prince Colin, the mere Royal Knight Order no longer excited him.

He had it all planned out, training with the Royal Boy Scouts for a year, then two years with the Royal Knight Order, and in the fourth year, going directly to the Gana Continent to join Uncle Colin, returning to the Holy City by thirty at the latest, laden with a lifetime's glory and legend, as a hero, becoming an honorable Knight Captain.

The Dantes family would be restored to its former glory in his hands!

Sofia also wanted to shake hands with Prince Colin, but she was too shy to say it outright like her brother, just blushing and lowering her head.

Looking at this ambitious young man, Lumi smiled and nodded.

"Of course you can, you will meet him soon, though not tonight... Tonight at the Valencia Family's estate there is a very important banquet, held by the Regent King to welcome the return of the Prince from the Gana Continent."

The Regent King!

The Valencia Family!

Another name echoing like thunder!

Edmond almost forgot to breathe, his old face flushed with excitement, hurriedly steadying his wife before speaking quickly.

"No problem! It's not a problem at all! The main thing is, as long as he is willing to meet us... we are available anytime!"

He wasn't foolish enough to ask the other party to take him along. He knew very well that he would only disgrace Mr. Colin and even the Colin family if he went!

They shared their honor and shame now!

Sofia excitedly nodded, her pretty face full of approval, but Little Emily's face fell, her lips pursed.

Available anytime?

They wouldn't really have to wait forever, would they...

She didn't want to stay at home; she wanted to go to school!
