85 85. Carter family

After having a regular bath, both Andy and Lily got ready to go out and have breakfast.

"Mother why do you always wear such baggy and boring clothes? Next time when we go to pick your custom order from clothing store, why don't you also buy some pretty dresses?"

"W-We don't have to waste so much money on useless things, my current clothes are just fine" said Lily nervously without looking at her son.

"It is not useless mother, I would like to see you in pretty dresses, can't you buy some for me?"

"That.. alright" although Lily didn't like wearing pretty dresses since everyone including women stare at her bombshell figure, but she couldn't refuse her son's request.

"Lets go for breakfast mother"

When Lily and Andy reached dining area, everyone else were already present there

"Hmm? Mother you look really pretty today, your face is glowing! Did you get a new face cream from the store last time we went for shopping?"

"Fufu~ sister Lily why don't you tell us your secret?" teased Freya

Lily immediately blushed and took her seat without looking at her daughter or Freya

"Don't say weird things, why would I wear a face cream at home?"

"Mother is stingy! It's not like I will steal your face cream!"

...

After having breakfast Andy asked Freya to prepare the clinic and he went to his room and called for Raven.

"Master did you call for me?"

"Yes, why did you not tell me that you are a noble?" asked Andy with an angry face which made Raven to gulp her saliva.

"W-What do you mean master? I was an orphan and an assassin guild raised me as I told you earlier. I did not lie to you master and I never will" said Raven and kneeled on the floor.

Looking at her serious face and gesture Andy sighed and thought 'Just who the hell is Lark family? I have never even heard of their name. I will ask Freya later on'

"Alright I believe you Raven, you can go and do your work as maid, I will be going to open the clinic for the day"

"Yes master" although she was curious why her master thought she was a noble, but she didn't dare question her master.

...

"Freya is everything ready?"

"Yes master, everything is setup and I have also fixed the prices of potions."

"Good, by the way do you know which noble family is Lark family?"

"Hmm? No master I have never heard of this name before, why?"

"Nothing, let's open the clinic now" said Andy and opened the defensive formation in clinic's gate.

...

This was going to be a regular day at clinic, potion sale was even better than previous day even though they removed the discount on them. All noble patients were showing full respect to Andy and Freya as if they were afraid of them and most nobles were now waiting themselves in the queue rather than asking their butler to do so.

But then 3 nobles came into the clinic without following the queue and headed directly towards the reception. When the commoners saw that they shook their head as if there was going to be one less noble family starting next day.

"Can we please speak to healer Andy?" asked the noble man politely, but Freya didn't even look at him and just said

"Please go back to queue sir, otherwise the doctor will not look at you"

Then the man took out a storage ring and placed it on counter. Freya reached out and checked it's content and was surprised to find 3000 high-tier mana crystals in it. She then looked up and saw a handsome man, a beautiful woman and a girl. She immediately stood up from her seat after recognising who they were. But before she could say anything the man continued

"Would you be so kind and let us meet healer Andy for 15 minutes for our priority consultation session?"

"Yes patriarch Carter, right away! And sorry about my attitude earlier"

"Don't worry about such small things mrs Wright, also you don't need to disturb the doctor while he is with a patient. Once he is ready to take in next patient then can you send us?" said the woman who came in with patriarch Carter.

Freya gulped her saliva and nodded, they were the first ones who recognised her true identity here.

Once Andy got free, Freya guided this family in next.

"Doctor, this family would like to see you for priority consultation for 15 minutes"

"Hmm?" Andy was shocked when he heard 15 minutes priority consultation, that meant they already paid 3000 high-tier mana crystals, just how rich were they?

"Alright, you can leave now Freya"

"Yes" said Freya and closed the door after getting out.

"So how may I help you?" asked Andy as he looked at this family.

"Fufu~ isn't he really handsome dear, no wonder princess Melty is going to marry him." said the woman.

"What?! How do you know?" asked Andy with surprise, the news of him getting married to Princess wasn't public yet.

"Fufu~ Thanks for confirming. You see I am a very good friend of the 3rd queen, when I met her yesterday she told me her only daughter would be getting married soon. And when I asked her who the lucky person was she just told me the most popular boy in the city, so we immediately did some preparation and came here."

"Ah! I was tricked. May I ask who are you?" asked Andy, but before the woman could reply, the man said

"Sorry for the late introductions, I am the patriarch of Carter family and they are my wife and daughter."

Andy's eyes widened in shock, Carter family were ranked 4th among the noble families of this country and they specialised in transportation business, including transport of information and they also provided the service as information brokers. If knowledge was absolute power, they would be number 1 in this country.

"Please forgive my rude behaviour earlier, how may I help you patriarch and matriarch Carter?"

"You don't have to be so formal with us, we came here with a proposal. Can you tell me what do you think of my daughter here?" asked matriarch Carter.

Andy then turned to look at the girl who was looking at him with cute big eyes, well she looked very cute but she looked even smaller than..

"Pardon me for any offence but I think your daughter is really cute."

A beautiful smile immediately bloomed on matriarch's face and she said

"Isn't she? I know she is not as beautiful as princess Melty, but who could match princess' beauty? Anyway we came here with a marriage proposal for our daughter here"

"Ah matriarch Carter what are you taking about, isn't it too early for her to get married?" asked Andy

"Fufu~ show him dear" said matriarch Carter and her husband brought out a document and handed it to Andy.

"This is the birth certificate of my daughter, she recently turned 18 as you can see. It is just that she has a special composition which made her growth a little slower." said patriarch

"..."

'A little slower?' thought Andy and once again looked at the cute girl who was looking at him curiously. Then he checked the document which was the birth certificate of this girl, indeed she was 18 years old... And apparently they took really good care of their daughter's birth certificate as it looked brand new.

"Go on tell him Clara" matriarch told her daughter.

"I am 18 years old big brother!" said the girl

"..."
