The party officially started with the queen's arrival. Everyone gathered in the giant room, talking with their associates and acquaintances. I was talking with family and three men I had met before when I noticed that mother had returned with the old man. Their tension was much less than before, and they were talking harmoniously.

Seeing them, Father stood up and nodded toward the mother and went up to the podium. There was a sound system installed to reach everyone better. He tapped the microphone a few times to get everyone's attention.
" Good evening everyone. Thank you so much for accepting my invitation. It has been a long time since our family held a gathering; I feared that you would have forgotten about us." he jokingly said.
It made everyone chuckle, which lifted the mood of the crowd. He continued--

" Today is a special occasion; I want to introduce my son Samuel and it is a surprise birthday for him. I had forgotten about my birthday; I did mention it to my mother a few weeks ago. I wanted to introduce him on this occasion. I hope everyone will enjoy their stay. " The father said as he pointed toward me, which surprised me.

I stood up and bowed slightly to the crowd to welcome them. I felt the pressure, but I knew everyone arranged all this for me, which made me happy inside.

Father left the stage, and everyone was flustered. When an old couple came to our table following Grandma Margaret, I had read and studied the guest list and knew their identity. They started to discuss it among themselves.

" Sister, Isn't he cute? Are you convinced now?" Grandma said.

" Humph, so what? Beatrice and Eugenie are cuter. I don't believe you. " Queen said.

" How can we compare them? You already have several grandchildren, while I only have Samuel. " Grandma said, looking at Aunt Patricia and winking secretly.

" Yes, Sigh, George, what do you think about it?" The aunt piled the blame on her son.

" What? Why are you all looking at me? We are busy people with Amelia's business, we hardly have time for one another, much less planning a children. " Uncle George defended himself.

Aunt Mary, listening and observing from the side, looked at Amelia, blushing and said with a smirk, " Are you guys sure about it? " She said, pointing toward aunt Amelia with her eyes.

Everyone looked at Amelia, behaving like a maiden, blushing; Who is this person?

" I don't mind. " She said in her weakest voice, but George, sitting beside her, picked up on its meaning.

" Are you serious? " George said in a loud voice but with a smile.
Amelia nodded and excused herself to the restroom, which made everyone giggle at the sudden development. Seeing domineering Amelia in such a meek state made everyone amused. Queen and others excused themselves, but before leaving, she told me we would be having a chat after the meeting.

People started to come up to me and introduce themselves. They were enthusiastic about it; they were more focused on the people around me, which I could see in their eyes.

I casually introduced myself like a machine when a familiar face caught my attention. Thomas, the book publishing house boss, was walking toward me.

" Samuel, Happy Birthday. It seems you will make many more headlines shortly. " he said with a meaningful look.

" Thank you, and it's not me alone. I guess you have studied the contents that I sent. " I said.

" Yes, and I am already on it. It will be an extensive operation, much bigger than the previous one. I will contact you in the coming days to report our past fruits and future endeavours. " He nodded and left. He was much cryptic about it. People were aware of the connection between the author and the Rothchild family, but they didn't know it was me.

It will be too much shock in one day, and I also don't want any more public attention before gathering more strength. I was thinking when I saw Mr Nagayasu walking over with a few more people.

" Samuel, Happy Birthday. I didn't know about it before, so I came over to wish you. " He paused and introduced the people beside him.

" I wanted to introduce Her Imperial Highness The Crown Princess of Japan, Masako Owada and Princess Kako of Akishino. I mentioned you and your previous exploits, so they wanted to make acquaintance. The people following them are from the japanese embassy; the old man leading them is Jiro Suzuki."

They were staring at me, assessing the situation. You could never be too serious with a royalty presence on foreign soil.

I was confused; I didn't see them on the list. They must be added last minute or kept a secret for better protection. Most people here have their protection team, and most of the preparation was between these different factions. Still, royal families were excluded from this and had direct contact with MI6 and Rothchild's ghost protection squad.

My mind went on overdrive as I assimilated all the information regarding the duo present here. I was already prepared, but this was a unique situation. I already knew the Japanese, and conversing in their language would be more polite. It will also be good because the Princess was about the same age as Hannah; the chances of her knowing English were slim.

I picked some interesting facts about the crown princess and her life following a similar path between both realities. I asked Apollo--
" Do any of my titles give me the ability to sense or distinguish different people with or without the naked eye? "

"You can technically do it with your 'Punisher" title, which senses evil, but in a normal sense, it can only count people in the near vicinity. You must release magic powers and follow the feeling when you use a title." Apollo said.

I followed his instruction when a prompt sounded in my head.

It all happened in a few seconds. I found my answer, which was correct; It formed a slight smile on my face. I started speaking--
