Chapter 292 - Wise Old Men Part 2
Alexandro chose his suit carefully for the courtship dinner since Dmitri is his adoptive son, he wanted to pursue him to court Agatha. Manuel will be thrilled since Dmitri is a Phoenix and the heir of their Empire.
Eagle thought that Phoenix already decayed in the soil. But guess what? He just saved one of the heirs. Then there's two more just in case the heir couldn't make it. He smirked. It's payback time. Eagle should pay on what they did to Phoenix. His wife will be very proud of him when Phoenix will rise with a deadly army.
His wife is somehow part of the Phoenix Empire but she's not blood-related to Dmitri, to Fin or Freya. She's on the other type of Clan. There are at least three types of Phoenix. These three families had combined to build the Phoenix Empire and that's how they grow and since each of the families has the same gift. It's to foresee the damn catastrophic future.
Dragon has the same gift and it's only meant for the heiress in the prophecy.
He dialed Dmitri's number and then he answered.
"Father,
" Dmitri said formally.
"Hey, son. Old Pattinson just talked to me. Get ready your firm ass to seduce Lady Agatha. I want lots of grandchildren since Andromeda and Zachary are holding back.
"
Dmitri laughed out loud from the other line.
"I am working on it, dad.
" He said.
"Don't worry. Agatha and I will be married soon. I won't let her go.
"
"That's a good boy.
"
"But let me ask you one thing since you know all about Phoenix.
"
"Yeah?
" He said casually like a millennial.
"Agatha could dream of a possible future. She also had dreamed of the past. Is it possible that she has that ability?
"
He stopped for a while. His wife can't foresee the future, but she can dream of the possibility and through her instinct. Before they even met, he had dreamed of her.
"It only means that you are meant to be together.
"
"But she dreamed the past. I saw the scenario years ago when Andromeda and Zachary got engaged in Hawaii.
" Dmitri said and he let out a sigh.
"She had sketched every detail that I saw.
"
"Have you already mated with her—I mean you know—make love before she even had to sketch such things?
"
"Yes.
"
"Oh.
" Alex stopped and stared at himself in the mirror.
"It only means one thing. Your blood and her blood will make a powerful next heir.
"
"What?
"
"It's like Selina and Fin. Dragon and Phoenix. Freya tried to kill Selina because she kept seeing Fin getting killed it's a messy vision.
"
Dmitri is silent on the other line then he exhaled.
"Dad, I think I saw their second born. A four-year-old boy. He saw me. I was in his past and he was in the future. He saw me and he asked me to help him. He just some something disastrous at that young age.
"
Alex's suit slid from his hand and he was in a deep though. Then, Fin and Selina would probably make a battalion of children in which every one of them could foresee the future. It would only trigger Eagle to kill them. He can't let that happen.
"Dmitri, no matter what. Don't let Eagle know that Phoenix is Rising. Don't let them know about Fin and Freya. If possible, you must protect your future children from them. It's a good omen but if possible, we can't let them suffer.
"
"Yes, dad.
"
"We will talk later. I'll see in Pattinson Residence.
"
"Okay.
"
He hung up and then he quickly calls Andromeda. She answered shortly.
"Grandpa?
"
"Hey, how are you?
" He greeted with a forced smile.
"Straight to the point, pops.
"
"Andy, I think Fin and Selina should hide in the crowd. Selina is pregnant and her children are as powerful as Phoenix could see a future. We shouldn't let Eagle know about this.
"
"Okay… I'll set more security to the house. Zachary already made something. Maybe changing windows and other stuff.
"
"Please do. I felt a little anxious about their safety.
"
"Grandpa. Don't worry. As long as, I'm alive, they can't even step in our boundary. Do you wanna see how I handle people in the empire?
"
"No. Darling. It's too good.
" He said and complimented her more.
"But I must warn you, there are people inside our empire to be a double spy.
"
"I know grandpa. I am aware of that. Don't worry. Our empire won't collapse. Besides, three heads are working behind.
" He can feel that she's smirking from the other line. He did raise her well. He did raise them well.
"Now, I have to choose the best suit for my son's courtship.
"
Andy laughed and said good luck and bye to him.
He picked up his suit from the floor and complained about his back.
"Damn this back!
" He murmured.
"It will be better if I see my great-grandchildren playing around my house.
"
***
Dmitri smiled seeing his dear sister wearing a purple dress. Steven did a good job and Selina is good by putting a little makeup on her. Then he glanced at the necklace that she's wearing. Dragon Emblem. It's safer than their Emblem.
Freya didn't smile and she looked so miserable wearing a dress. Steven murmured something to her, and he grinned as she nudged him hard on his hard abdominal. He shook his head and looked at Fin who is also wearing a casual-formal attire, beside him is Selina who is already wearing a mask.
"Well, let's go.
" Dmitri reached the box that he ready for his beloved and then they enter the eight-seater van. One car in front and another behind them.
Dmitri ready bodyguards just to make sure that Selina and Freya and the rest are safe. Fin cuddled to his fiancée as their hands intertwined. Freya is still frowning with crossed arms, but Steven puts an arm around her shoulder and kissed her temple.
"Don't be grumpy. You are ruining Selina's art on your face.
"
"I hate you.
" She murmured.
"I know.
" He grinned at him.
"I love you too.
" Steven is crazy, taking her words 'hate' and converting it to love. Dmitri couldn't help but be happy that Freya found someone that loved her more than she does.
The sun is setting as they were on the road and Dmitri made sure that their security plan will work. Or nothing would ambush them. He will not forgive himself if something happened to Selina. Selina couldn't defend herself as they could defend themselves. Although she's a Mondragon and she knows few defenses, she's pregnant and she needed triple protection from them.
Fin is making sure that she's comfortable the whole time. With pillows around her and that she won't bump to anything. He would do the same if Agatha is pregnant. And speaking of pregnancy, he will soon work on that. It's not that his foster father, General Alexander Mondragon is pressuring him.
He just wanted her to be his eternally and he wanted to have kids, not just to raise their empire, but to have a family with her just like what she wanted.
Soon, the house came to view, and he felt butterflies in his stomach. As the guard checked the pass and he salutes to them. Then, their cars had been sprayed with sanitizer. Their car drove through the driveway toward the main entrance.
Then, his guards immediately run to the door and opened. It for them. Fin came out first and he helped his fiancée. Freya and Steven then followed by him. He sighed as he looked at the house then he glanced at the window where he saw Agatha that looking out. He smiled and she quickly disappeared.
He walked inside as the butler escorted them to the living room. A girl wearing an oversized shirt and she's barefoot run down the staircase, and she ran to him and jumped into him. He caught her and he received lots of kisses from her. He laughed a little and hold her so she wouldn't slide down.
"I miss you!
" She was overjoyed and seeing it in her eyes and that beautiful smile makes him feel like a damn God.
"I miss you more.
" He kissed her lips. It was supposed to be just a simple smack but her tongue wanders and to her lips asking for entrance and he did give it to her when his father scolded her.
"Agatha, behave!
"
Agatha stopped and pouted at him. He smiled and then he gently put her down.
"Go take a bath and get dressed.
" He demanded.
"Go make yourself beautiful first before attacking our guest.
" Her grandfather added.
"You can do that after dinner or so. Give me grandchildren after we set the papers.
"
"Damn it.
" She stomped her feet back upstairs and Dmitri only smiled as he watched his lover run back to her room.
He faced the elders and he bowed his head as an apology.
"I'm sorry about that, Sirs.
" He said sincerely.
"It's fine. As long as you give me grandchildren.
" Manuel said waving him off. Steven snickered also Selina and Fin.
"Dad, for God's sake. They aren't married yet.
" Eric muttered sharply.
