Chapter 313: 3 Names

Magnus arrived at the party. The people had just finished their tour. The journalists were not allowed to enter here as many rich people would want to have some private chat here.
Grace was the point of a talk by all the women. They were all acting like some high-class women, but the truth was, most of them were unemployed and could only afford luxury lifestyles because either they married a rich lord or themselves inherited a lot of money and property from their lord father and mother.
They had nothing on Grace to be boastful about, hence, they acted like they were her lackeys, showering her in praise, looking at the three babies and fawning over them. Though Magnus had put the jinx on the stroller, if anybody other than his approved person tried to touch them then the offender would get a strong urge to itch themselves all over their body.
Safe to say, about 4 out of 10 women were itching. Magnus scoffed and focused on talking with the people in front of him.
All of these lords were sucking up to him, as the cat was out of the box and they knew how powerful and rich he was. Before, they just dismissed him as second in line and only focused on Adam.
Now Adam was taking a sigh of relief as he didn't have to face as many people now.
"My Prince, I heard you also own the famous Golden Essence Wine company. I myself own a wide number of exquisite wine shops around the world. But... the wine from your company leaves a very small margin for businesses. I wonder If I can get a discount..." The man asked.
"Sure, why not." Magnus quickly agreed. But his next words were spoken silently, ~Heh... don't you open your mouth against me when I need support in the House of Lords later.~
Others were not as shameless, they talked in cryptic words. Magnus knew everything and agreed to many business opportunities. He was happy to do it since in the future many of his new laws will be against their noble lives.
"Your Highness," Lord Mountbatten came to greet him.
Magnus warmly welcomed him, "Haha... my favourite noble is here. You did a good job handling the whole oil crisis. If we had left it to the government's slow decision-making, then we'd be seeing dozens of protests right now."
"I did as you asked, your highness. Your friendship with the Saudi King was highly helpful." Mountbatten replied loudly. This was the purpose of the whole exchange. Magnus was reaffirming that the country was in better shape due to him. Now, automatically all these words will reach the rest of the decision-makers.
Later, only Bobby, Ragnar, Adrian and Ted were there. Tom had to be responsible for safety and Edgar was busy in Saudi with the completion of the project they dubbed as the Great Saudi Contract.
"Ted, how many requests did you get for you to represent in their divorce cases?" Magnus inquired.
Divorce cases were one of the toughest things for any noble. Because it also means having to divide their property, something that most don't want.
"About 20," Ted answered while sipping some wine.
"And how many did you reject?" Ragnar inquired.
"All of them. I have taken retirement from personally representing in legal cases. I only help my people from behind the scenes, only in high profile cases. Rest, I am fully invested in helping his highness." Ted resolutely said.
"And I got about 20 requests to spy on their spouses. I rejected them all." Adrian added.
Magnus sighed, "They are beyond finding I guess. Let's just end this party and go home. I want to sleep. Mum probably wants that too."
They all agreed. The three babies needed to reach home as soon as possible. So after the whole event, the hospital was officially in service. Magnus got into the car with his parents and left.
Slowly, the guests also left. At home, Magnus asked something, "Mum, Dad, have you thought about a name for them?"
"Not yet, we didn't know what their gender would be, although we knew they would be twins. But now... we need to come up with three names." Grace said.
They all sat in the living room and brainstormed names. Just then Martha suggested, "Why don't we write three names each, then put it in a bowl and we pick out three names randomly?"
Adam agreed, "But if the name is some kind of a joke-inspired one then we will reject it. Also, Grace gets veto power."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
They all agreed. Soon they all got three pieces of paper and a pen. They had about half an hour to come up with one and each was hiding their paper. Ragnar, being the paranoid guy, took it to a whole other level and used spells to construct a wall around himself.
For Magnus, coming up with names was not hard. He just took some old names and their meanings and wrote them down. He was the first to finish and put the chits in the glass bowl.
Next was Martha, then Adam and then Grace. The last one for some reason was Ragnar. Soon, the glass bowl was shuffled and Dobby was called.
"Your job is to pick three chits from the bowl one by one and announce what's written in it. Okay, Dobby?" Magnus instructed him.
"I will do a good job, sir." Dobby dutifully stood by the bowl.
Everyone took their seats on the couch or the ground. The fireplace was lit and Dobby stood in front of it. He nervously put his one hand in and took out one chit.
Everyone's intense gaze was on it, which made Dobby nervous to the point he started shivering. But, he opened the chit and announced.
"Oswald, meaning God," Dobby announced.
"VETO!" Grace voiced quickly.
"WHAT? WHY? It's an amazing name for my little brother." Ragnar protested.
Grace explained her reason, "Well, didn't you think about his position as a prince? People will question our intentions, the church will question our intentions. We can't give such a controversial name."
"Bobby, take another one out. Throw that one in the fire." Magnus instructed.
Saddened, Ragnar sat back. But, he accepted the reasoning like a grown-up. The next name Dobby took out was a female name. "Umm... The name is Clementia, meaning Merciful."
"What a beautiful name," Martha commented.
"Agreed, who's suggestion is it?" Grace asked.
Magnus, proudly with a puffed chest, stood up, "It was I."
"So, which sister gets this name?" Grace inquired. Magnus had already decided for whom this name was.
He walked to the small cradle on the side of the couch. This one had his little black-haired sister sleeping. "For her. I think... after how she fought for life. She will one day become a kind and merciful lady."
"Aww... that's so sweet. I accept this name. Far better than my suggestion of Raven." Grace gave the seal of approval.
"YEEES! I WON... Huh..." Magnus taunted Ragnar, who had a crying face by now. He had missed the opportunity to name his little brother.
"Okay, Dobby, next."
Dobby once again took out a chit and read it aloud, "Maximus, it means Greatest."
They all looked at each other's faces to see who it was that suggested it. Martha spoke up, "Of course, your son should be given a great name. Magnus' name also means Greatest. Even Ragnar's name means warrior from the gods."
"I APPROVE!" Grace gave her thumbs up. And hence, the boy's name was set as Maximus.
Ragnar also nodded, giving his approval that it was a good name. Adam was silent, none of his suggestions had come yet. But not for long.
Dobby picked the next chit and spoke, "The next name for the girl is... Alma, means nourishing."
"Sounds weird. Too small and easy. She's a princess and needs a dignified name." Grace vetoed.
Magnus was saddened this time, it was his suggestion they realised. "Hehe... what a bad suggestion." Ragnar rubbed it on his face.
Ignoring them, the next name was taken out. "Aurelia, meaning the golden one."
Hearing this, everyone glanced at the little golden blonde haired girl. They nodded at that. The name made good sense.
"I can already imagine her growing into a beautiful girl with long golden hair." Grace lovingly said. And this was it, the third name was set.
"Good, the names are decided, Maximus, Aurelia and Clementia, according to the order of their birth," Grace announced.
Only Magnus, Martha and Adam had their names selected. Ragnar was left to brood alone.
