Chapter 57 Reunion

Vance finished up his shopping spree feeling very good about what he bought. "Shall we have dinner?" Vance asked, but before the girls could answer, a knock came at the door.

This knock alone was enough to put everyone on guard. Alice and Sally got ready for battle while Vance took out his sword and slowly walked toward the door. "Who is it?"

"Vance, open up! You have a lot of explaining to do!" Hearing the bellowing voice, Vance's eyes began to water up. He had made it!

The girls looked confused as Vance put his weapon away. They also did the same as they peered at the door and watched as Vance opened it. A ruff looking older man stood there staring at Vance with red eyes. He took three steps forward and hugged Vance tightly. "You…. What the hell are you doing!?"

"Father…." Vance stood there frozen for a second before hugging the man back. The two girls heard Vance say father and instantly became nervous! They did not know they were going to meet his family!

"Oh?" An older woman's voice was heard as Maybel walked into the room. "Oh!? Oh!? Did our Vance find two lovely ladies!?"

"Haha! That's my boy!" Ricky smiled as he gave the two ladies a nod and patted Vance's back.

Vance rubbed his nose as he introduced everyone. "Alice, Sally, this is my Father and Mother." Vance decided to introduce Maybel as his mother even though she was his stepmother. After all, she loved and cared for him as a mother, from what he could tell from the short time he was with them.

Maybel's eyes began to water up. Vance called her mother! She looked at Ricky, and Ricky smiled and nodded his head. Maybel rushed over and hugged Vance. "Vance, have you been eating well?"

"Mother, I have been eating very well," Vance replied.

"Ahem…. It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Alice Findale." Alice gave a proper introduction that made Ricky suddenly drop to one knee.

"I am sorry I didn't realize you were the princess!" Ricky had a cold sweat building up on his forehead as he wondered just what the hell was going on.

"No, please! Do not do this. I am basically your daughter in law now." Alice quickly helped them up while blushing.

Ricky slowly stood up and felt like his mind was spinning. He nodded at Alice before grabbing Vance and pulling him to the side. "Care to explain how you came to the capital for less than a month and suddenly are engaged to the damn princess of the kingdom!? No wonder the house was surrounded by guards, and we were told to come to the capital! We even got a small villa within the duke's estate!"

"Ummm… Luck?" Vance really did not know how to explain! He did not want his father to know he was dealing with issues with the royal family.

"Fuck! You! Really!?" Ricky slapped the back of Vance's head while Vance smiled.  He still had the same sense of closeness to Ricky as he did back in the village. "Now tell me. The village chief and his son?"

"Both dead. I burnt them to ash. He never planned to let his son suffer the consequences, and since he had dared to try to protect his son as well, I took care of him." Vance replied honestly. He already could tell his father already seemed to have a gist of what happened.

"Haaaah! Luckily no one found out." Ricky sighed. "The village was in a bit of a mess because of this. They all suspected me at first, but then the soldiers you sent to pick me up quelled the problem and let a new family become the lead. Don't act so recklessly anymore…."

"Alright, I won't."  Vance decided not to tell his father he told the king off for not being a good father.

"Good. Now tell me. Are both of them…." Ricky's gaze fell on the two girls who were having a chat with Maybel. It was enough for Vance to understand what he was asking.

"Yes, both are my girls. You can consider it a very harmonious relationship." Vance replied.

Ricky slapped the back of Vance's head once more as he yelled out: "You damn lucky dog!"

"Oh? What is he so lucky about?" Maybel cut in and asked, causing Ricky to quickly shut up.

"Ahem…"  Ricky cleared his throat as he looked around. "Haha! Nothing! Nothing!"

"Since we are together, we should have dinner together," Alice suggested. Sally kept quiet because she was way too nervous to say anything, and Vance nodded his head. "Yeah, let's go out to eat. We can go to the restaurant next door. They have some really good food."

"Alright. I wouldn't mind having a few glasses of ale with my son." Ricky did not stand on ceremony. He looked at the two girls and felt they were just right for his son. One was a princess, and the other was a dark haired beauty with big tits. Perfect!

Vance was about to lead everyone out of the room when he stopped for a second and passed his angel's tear to Maybel. "Mother, take this. And keep it on you at all times."

"This is? The same as your father's?" Maybel asked. Vance nodded and placed it in her hand. "Never remove it. It will save your life."

"Oh? Okay!" Maybel nodded and took the angel's tear. Alice and Sally smiled warmly at this since they knew what this small item could do. Vance then bought another and kept it in his inventory. Now everyone in his family was protected.

With Vance taking the lead, he led his small group along with the guards who came with Ricky and Maybel to the restaurant next door. Who immediately gave them a private room, thanks to Alice. It was times like this that Alice was glad she could use her social standing. Of course, if all rooms were full, she would never accept one. She would rather just sit in the dining area. But tonight, she was glad a private room was open since Vance's parents were.
