A formal weekly ritual of the Regulus bloodline, designed to showcase unity.
Naturally, As the name suggests, This Dinner is Nothing but a weekly family gathering for a family that perhaps does not even want to Gather at all.
From as long as I can remember This dinner is far from a normal Family Gathering.
It was Quiet, Very Quiet. In fact, before my memory awakened, I used to think that this is how normal family gatherings are like. Calm and Quiet.
Family members are just supposed to sit and eat quietly and maybe In very rare occasion, The family head would make important announcement.
It was only from Nick's memory that I realized that my assumption could not be any further wrong from the Truth.
A family Dinner is supposed to be The complete opposite. It is supposed to be a gathering where member focus more on talking and listening to Each other than focusing on eating.
In such dinner, its the Family Members who talk about their day and achievements while the family Head listens and give praise or comments.
Alas, The Royal Family was Far too abnormal to have a 'Normal' Dinner Gathering.
Anyways, the last dinner was exactly one weeks ago, So Tonight is the night of Dinner.
At Night...
"Are you ready, Son ?" Mother asked.
She is not exactly asking about the dinner, I have attended the dinner for as long as can remember.
What she is asking me about is what comes after that. My talk with father, AKA The King of Human.
"Yes Mother" I said, adjusting the collar of my formal tunic.
I know the sheer action of asking my father for a private meeting will draw the attention of The two Queens but If my request is really accepted, Then There is a high chance, I won't be able to hide anything, anyways.
If there was Any other option, that would help me grow efficiently without drawing their Attention, I would gladly accept that option.
But Unfortunately for me, There isn't. At least not any that i can Think of with my little six-years-old brain.
So, I Just gotta charge Head-on.
I And My mother along with our personal maids were waiting outside the Arbutus palace. A man in butler outfit came to us.
"Greetings, Your Majesty" He greeted mother. Then he looked at me.
"Greetings, Your Highness, the third prince" He greeted me too.
This guy is Mike, One of the butlers from the central palace and he has come to guide Us to the Dinner hall.
"then shall we go ?" He asked.
"Yes, Let us go" Mother answered.
We rode on the small carriage and departed for the central palace.
Yes, Carriage. Since the Royal complex is not exactly small and this is A Royal family occasion, Carriages are used for travelling.
Think about it, Would it not be unsightly, If a Queen and a prince are seen walking in The royal complex at night ?
Wouldn't that hurt Royal Family's Dignity ?
That's why Carriages are used even if its A walking distance of less than ten minutes.
So, After a few minutes of smooth journey, We reached the Central Palace.
Then we were led to the Dining room by Mike.
When we reached the Dining Room, the massive double doors were swung open by the silent maids. And we entered. The room was vast, dominated by a long mahogany table, at the center of the dinning hall, with eight seats.
There were already five people seated at the table.
"Oh! You are here, Elizabeth, My Dear Sister" A woman With Dark red hair and red eyes, Greeted mother while staying Seated. She didn't even stop leaning against her chair.
"Yes, Sister June, Greetings." My mother greeted her back.
"And Little Tyler is also here, welcome" The woman said
"ah, Yes. Thank you Aunt" I said
Another Woman with Dark Blue hair and Green eyes just Gave us a glace and stayed seated quietly.
These People...
Technically speaking, Although Third in terms of Status, My mother was still A Regulus Queen Just like them, with a Not-so-Different amount of Influence than the other Queens.
But that's only on paper.
In Reality ? Due to my Mother's Lower Family lineage, Most people, Especially The lineage hungry Nobles do not even think of her as their legitimate Queen.
According to royal custom, The other queens should at least stand and greet mother but these momen ? they are completely disregarding that rule.
The past Tyler, Although knew the rules and did not like Their actions, it did not make him angry.
He just thought 'It is what it is'. Just like any other children.
But The current me is Different. I clenched my fists..
Someday... I will pay you back.
I looked at all the members.
Father was not Here yet.
As usual, The Main character makes his entry at last.
But before comes, Some Introductions are in Order.
The Dark red haired woman is the Second Queen, June Von Regulus, from one of seven Duke families, The Agni Family.
Beside Her were two Six-years old kids. One Boy and One Girl, who look Quite similar, With Golden Blond hair and Red eyes. They were twins.
The Second Prince, Richard Von Regulus.
The First Princess, Cindrella Von Regulus.
They were three months older than me.
Next, The Quiet Woman with Dark blue hair is Miraya Von Regulus, From one of the Two Grand Duke Families, The Kaplan Family.
Beside Her was one Six-years Boy with Blond hair and Amethyst Purple eyes, like mine.
He is The First Imperial Prince, Arthur Von Regulus. He is About Six Months Older than me.
We took our seat. The two Queens sat at the opposite side of the table. So, Mother took seat beside Arthur and I sat beside her.
Everyone was quiet until, A few minutes later, The door Opened And A man was standing At The entrance.
Truck-kun isekaied me ? Good
I am the third prince and the villainous mob in my RPG game ? Good
my mother is a baronet and possess a countryside land where I can lead a slow life ? Very good
So, I should just quietly cultivate some magic cabbages and live a quite slow life like typical transmigrated MCs.... Like hell I would do that!!!
Since I have been given a second chance and that too, As a fucking prince, Shouldn't I become the king ...or at least die trying ?
