14 Family II

Max and Magnus quickly dressed and left the tower together at Magnus's request.

"I'm proud of you." Magnus touched Max's head and said with a smile.

"Is that something to be proud of?" Max raised the corner of his mouth with a little contempt. "If I could I would do it every day."

"Yes. It's something I'm very proud of." Magnus sighed bitterly. "Penelope is like that because her husband cannot satisfy her regularly, he is so focused on my position and power that he leaves out things like you are. Mateo on the other hand ..." Magnus gritted his teeth angrily. "She likes men and a rumor has reached me that she has been seen suspiciously with various guards."

Max stopped short when he heard it. Marcus's lust for power was not new to him and that is precisely why he openly renounced the power struggle. He just didn't want him to do something crazy and have him killed. Max was very strong, but he knew very well that he was not immortal. There were many ways to murder him, such as poisoning his food, stabbing him while he was sleeping, and even in intercourse when he was especially vulnerable.

But quite apart was Matthew's revelation of homosexuality. He had never shown any clues to this other than his always playful smile. Besides that he also had a wife: Rosa.

Waiting! That means pink ...

Max's heart started pumping with excitement, but he concentrated and kept listening to Magnus after reaching him.

"Gerald ... Oh Gerald." Magnus sighed again, but this time the emotion he conveyed was clear: hurts. "Gerald's penis cannot be lifted, no matter what it is done."

Max could no longer believe everything he heard. But if he thought about it very carefully he realized that it all really made sense. In this world the age of marriage was 15 years old, his brothers on the other hand were already at least 17 years old, but none of them had managed to have a child after so long.

"Jhon is only a little older than you, but he has a magical talent and average element, plus it is said that he is a mother's son without a shred of courage in him." Magnus put his hand on his shoulder. "You must know that it is very difficult to have a boy these days. If things continued as they are now, the magnar house would most likely disappear. But with you here I am calmer."

Maxwell still had two younger siblings but one was just a baby and the other is only 2 years old. Max looked at his father, who was already in his 40s, with gray hair on his head, and understood his concerns.

"Are you sure you don't want to fight for my position?" Magnus asked suddenly.

Max was very surprised. It was very different to fight for power on his own, than to do it because his father asked him to. In this way he had practically assured the position, he only had to show others that he deserved it.

"I'd rather watch the big picture for now." He responded by neither accepting nor denying the possibility. He wanted to play low for now.

Magnus was more and more sure that putting Max as heir was the best decision he knew.

"By the way. I can see that you have a lot of experience when it comes to sex. How is that possible?" Magnus was very intrigued.

Max lowered his head, he thought about it, he thought about it, but he couldn't come up with a single answer that he satisfied. He could lie and say how practical with the maids, but that still left another loose end.

"I've done it many times before ... With Maria."

Magnus was very pleased with his first sentence, but hearing the second, his eyes sharpened like an eagle and magma gushed from his pores.

"Did you mess with one of my women? !!" Magnus roared as he unleashed a fist that quickly transformed into a magma fist in his direction.

Max responded with his fist as well, but it transformed into a claw of purple lightning that tore apart and expelled magma throughout the corridor.

"Yes!" Max replied coldly with the same sharp look as magnus. Trying not to cry from the pain for the small drops of magma that managed to fall on him.

Magnus was greatly surprised. He knew that max was very strong, but not to this extent.

He had just stopped for one of his blows at full power from him.

"I don't see what the problem is. You haven't even looked at her in a while." He said more through clenched teeth.

Magnus kept glaring at him.

"Besides ..." Max gritted his teeth. "She is pregnant."

Max's words made Magnus go completely silent and the magma stopped coming out of him.

This was the reason why max decided to tell the truth. Maria had gotten pregnant only a few hours ago and had not been able to think of a solution to this problem. Her father has not touched her for years, if she suddenly got pregnant she was sure that she would be executed without regard. The best thing was to tell his father and see his reaction. If her reaction was not good, he might as well take Maria and the ones he considered her women and leave. He was sure that other noble things were happy to receive him and even give his daughters and lands to him, since he was so strong and talented.

Magnus sighed as he left without looking back, leaving the hallway burned and Max still shocked.

Just before leaving Max's sight, Magnus spoke.

"I will say openly that he is my son. But make sure you don't get caught."

_______

Three days later the news of Maria's pregnancy was released, but to Magnus's surprise, Penelope's was also reported.

Magnus turned to look at him as if to say: it sure is yours.

Max also looked at him trying to say with his eyes: or yours.

It was a ridiculous situation, but Magnus just smirked. Two new kids were a good thing, no matter whose they are.

Although he wished the second was his and it was most likely. After all, he had been with Penelope and Maxwell many times only once.

Marcus (the cuckold) was happy too. Of the three fighting for power, he was the only one with an heir.

Fool.

Max smiled to himself, knowing that both children were his.
