"Sir, our candidate is currently at the forefront of the elections. His popularity rating is 89%. We also did an underhanded survey across the territory of what they think of Britain. A whopping 98% said highly favourable.

"This was possible because most of the population of this country has in one way or another benefited from your policies. Be it countless schools and tens of big colleges you constructed, thousands of hospitals and clinics, bringing more jobs with large construction projects, helping people get better farming tools, get electricity, get water or helping the talented ones get scholarships to the United Kingdom.

"Everyone has gained something. And most of them know that the cause was you now." Mark detailed.

Magnus sighed, "Good, I truly want the people here to live a good life. I mean, this is such a resource-rich country, yet it's poor. All because of the corrupt governments. Not just Zimbabwe, nearly all of Africa is resource-rich, but it's f*cked over by corruption.

"No more. I do not care about race, religion or colour. All I see are meatbags with blood. I, you, they, all of us are meatbags. If Africa can be rich and prosper, I will be one step closer to completing mine and Merlin's dream."

"W-What was Merlin's dream, sir?" Mark asked.

"Peace... Peace throughout the world, where all could live happily, with no wars and large conflicts. He made Order of Merlin for that, but the greedy families and corrupt Ministry turned it into a simple award, stepping all over the legacy of Merlin." Magnus said. He was just installing some patriotism in the man.

Mark cheerfully replied, "Sir, I fully believe that by next year's end, Zimbabwe will become Greater Britain."

"Good, at that point, United Kingdom will become a country with states, only for administrative reasons, not like how it's in America. States have too much power there, which creates a problem when implementing large scale policies.

"Everything above Manchester will become Northern UK, everything in and under it will be Southern UK. More focus will be given to the Northern part to make it more developed.

"Zimbabwe will become three states, Eastern Greater Britain, Western Greater Britain and Southern Greater Britain. Zimbabwe will retain its name, heritage and culture, in fact, we will preserve it and make it a strong point for tourism. They already use our National Anthem, so that will be retained. All we need to do is reform their politics.

"Ted will come later to help you with such things. For now, this should be enough. Well, I shall return now. Contact me if anything happens here."

Magnus packed his items, said bye to Mark as well as the Hippos and left with the Portkey.

...

Magnus' Mansion,

*POP*

"YOOOO...."

"HOLY F..." Ragnar suddenly jumped from the couch as all of a sudden Magnus's loud voice came right behind his seat.

"Come on, man. I had little Maximus in my arms." Ragnar roared at him.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't know. Where is mum?" He inquired. Grace rarely gave the little babies to any of them, and it was the right decision for the most part.

"She's getting ready. She said she had agreed to go to a fundraiser at the zoo, and she did not want to break her promise." Ragnar said. This was the sad part of being a royal, too many such requests were received and you had to go no matter what, as these events publicise the special guests.

Magnus didn't want her to go through, she still needed some rest. So he ran to his mum's room. *KNOCK KNOCK* "Mum, it's me."

Grace called him in. She was standing in front of the mirror and fixing her pearl necklace. "You're back? Ragnar said you were going to Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe."

It was funny how Grace and Adam had already accepted the absurdities as a daily occurrence. Now they don't even bat an eye whenever Magnus says he's going to some faraway country.

"I've completed my work, mum. And you know what, you stay here, have rest, take care of my three little siblings. I and Ragnar will go to the fundraiser. I'm sure they will accept this exchange, besides, I'll just donate some money to them." He suggested.

"But... it was me who promised." She muttered.

"No buts... they are mad to think you will come just a few days after giving birth. Change into something comfy and have fun at home." He pushed her to sit and left.

Arriving downstaters, he smacked Ragnar on the head, "Let's go, we're trading places with mum at the charity event."

"WHY ME?" He cried. historical

"Would you rather see mum get tired there and then get sick?" Magnus asked.

That was enough of a threat for Ragnar, "Understandable, what should I wear?"

...

Both wore simple semi-informal clothes and arrived at the local zoo. Abe was their driver today, driving a modified Rolls Royce which ran on batteries. The company wanted to sue them for doing this, but Magnus just bullishly bought about 10% of them and threatened them with dumping their stocks and destroying their valuation. Then buy when people panic sell.

The technique worked, they even asked Adam to allow them to use his batteries for a fee. They probably found it better to just officially announce an electric Rolls Royce and say, "Look, even the royals use it."

The Zoo was running like normal, there was just one part reserved for the event. Even normal people could come and watch the event from the back. But Magnus and Ragnar decided to go around and see the Zoo first.

"Ahaha... look, Rag. That's you." Magnus pointed at a sloth, stupidly falling from a tree while trying to change his nap position.

Ragnar replied by pointing too, "And that's you."

Magnus puffed his chest, "Huh, that's a mighty beautiful Gorilla, I'm honoured to be compared to him."

"AH LOOK... A LION..." Magnus walked towards the Lion enclosure. He saw a majestic lion, standing over a rock with his mane fluttering in the air. "BOY... YOU LOOK GOOD..." he gave a thumbs up.

The lion turned to him and gave him a small bow, then went back to looking majestic. Meanwhile, the people around them looked at Magnus in awe. And as some started to recognise him, he ran to the charity event.

It was an event to gather money for the welfare of the animals, giving them a better environment and upgrading the facilities. Magnus alone gave them two hundred thousand pounds.

After that, they were actioning some animal items, like a fallen tooth of a diseased lion, some paw marks of different animals and other things. Magnus bought many of them as they were really cute.

Then, at last, he was asked to come to the stage and say some words. It was not in the deal, but now that the announcer had spoken, he could not deny it. Though the man would get fired later for sure.

"Thank you for participating in this event. My mum could not come as you know... birthing triplets ain't easy. I really like this Zoo, been here so many times since I was small. I hope all animals here... get... taken care of... nicely." Magnus started stopping mid-sentence for some reason.

But it was in fact due to some voices he was hearing from behind him. Looking back, he saw it was a reptile enclosure, and the glass cage was probably brought outside for aesthetics.

But what bothered Magnus were the Komodo Dragons inside it. Somehow, they recognised him and started to scream.

"OUT KING IS BACK!"

"OUR KING!"

"MY DEAD PA USED TO TELL ME STORIES OF HIM!"

"IS THAT REALLY HIM?"

"EVERYONE... SCREAM. IF HE LOOKS, IT'S HIM."

And Magnus made the mistake of looking back. Hence, all of them started screaming, even making so much noise that it spooked the organisers.

"MY KIIIIIING..."

"MAKE ME YOUR SERVANT!"

"BOSS... I WOULD DIE FOR YOU!"

Magnus felt a headache and finished his speech quickly, so he could go and shut these guys up.

He whispered to them, "Calm down, don't scare the people. I will take you to my big island later. You can live in the jungle there... but no hunting innocent animals."

"YEEEES!"

"WE'VE BEEN RECOGNISED!"

"OUR WORSHIP WORKED!"

"PRAISE THE OLD REPTILE GOD RAGNAROK...!"

"YOUR MAJESTY, WE SHALL BE YOUR FAITHFUL TOE BITERS AND MEAT SHIELDS..."

He sighed and just left them be. They had somehow developed a fricking religion in the years he met them the last time.

"What the hell was that?" Ragnar asked him.

He shrugged, "They think I'm their king."

Ragnar chuckled, "Of course, you are the slimy snake of Slytherin after all."

Magnus shook his head, "No no... Pendragon, I'm a dragon. You're Oroborus, a snake, that makes you the Slimy Snake of Slytherin. I'm the Mighty Dragon of Slytherin."

"Hey... our name has nothing to do with it." Ragnar objected. But Magnus just ignored him, which was more annoying.
