The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377: Prospects

Crown Prince Lukas brought Rue to sit next to him at the family dinner, ostensibly so that they could celebrate her good luck at advancing. But also so that he could taunt the Queen a little with her presence.

The Crown Prince wasn’t any bigger fan of her than Princess Rue was, though for different reasons.

He wasn’t her child, either. But that was due to an indiscretion on the King’s part when he was still the Crown Prince. His mother didn’t have the status to be Queen, so to make the King’s firstborn a legitimate child, she was made a Consort, and given a lovely palace in the countryside.

The Queen had been a political match with the Royal Family of Unzatharb, the daughter of the Royal Seer.

She checked all the boxes for a good Queen. Strong, intelligent, well-educated, and she had rare class abilities to optimize her children, so they were all above average even for Royals.

But the Crown Prince suspected that her personality really was irredeemable. The woman was evil to the core. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The eldest Princess smiled at Rue, who was doing her best to remember every bit of Royal etiquette, now that someone was actually watching her actions.

"So, little Rue, what did you plan to do now that you have a class? I hear that you’ve gotten a most wonderful tutor from Cyhosasa." She asked.

Rue smiled. "He really is wonderful, Eldest Sister. Emissary Karl knows all sorts of amazing skills as an Avatar of the World Dragon, and he is helping me learn all the basics of spell control that I was behind on."

The Eldest Princess smiled, while the Crown Prince smirked at her.

"You know, we could likely bring your boy over for some training. Perhaps help him get his System up and running. Watching the Avatar work is a unique sort of joy," he suggested.

The Princess laughed. "My boy is three years old, certainly not old enough to be awakening his System Interface. Perhaps the fourth Prince and his wife would like to take you up on your offer, though?

As I recall, their daughter is five now, and it’s nearly time for her to awaken."

The fourth Prince was a portly young man in humanoid form, and most of the other Royals looked at him with disdain. He had also married a minor Noble’s daughter from Kopji, and their lone daughter was born at Awakened Rank, practically a cripple by the standards of the Gathuzan Royal Family.

The two of them made a good couple, but they were not highly respected among their peers. Though, that had less to do with his family than his own lack of ambition.

The fourth Prince shrugged. "She will awaken in due time. No need to rush these things."

In his mind, it was better that his child didn’t awaken too early. Even one year later than her peers would be perfect, as with her innate disadvantage in Rank it would remove her from anyone’s consideration of royal succession.

Among the Royal Heirs to the Gathuzan Crown, it was less important to be born first than to be the most powerful.

Right now, the firstborn was Crown Prince, and had worked hard to secure his title. But if a prodigy arose among his siblings, or even the next generation, there was a good possibility that the King would hold off and pass the throne to someone else.
