Charles walked into the slum of Hantov. Rose thought, "How odd, all the people dress the same!" Charles read her thoughts, and handed her a blue dress with her number on it. She laughed as a toddler wandered to her and asked, "Who are you, miss?" and Blade ruffled her hair, and laughed, "Mary, tell your dad we have guests." She ran off. Charles yelled, "Ace, Dash, Flash! Henry! June!" Five people came into the dust street. June gossiped, "Ooh, a girl this time. Nice to meet you, you're...  Aspen. Forget your old life. You are Aspen Vera Hantov. Salute your commander, Henry Ashford Hantov, eldest son of Salvador Hantov. Salute the queen and king, June and Henry Hantov. Salute your house leader, Blade Hantov. " She saluted strongly. Blade was shocked, and he questioned, "House leader?" June said, "Yes. Blade Hantov, head of Hanover. Hunter was found to be... how should we put this?" Henry finished her sentence, "Reckless. He made us forfeit Nix. Your new name is Charles Blade Hanover. Son of Hanover. Aspen, here is your very important choice: do you wish to marry Charles? Answer now. Honestly." Aspen nodded, and she kissed Charles suddenly. Henry announced, "The bride of Hanover, Aspen Hanover, is the queen of Hanover to King Charles I. There are some new sons and daughters of Hanover being chosen today. These are the graduates: Dash Hanover, Ace Hanover, Cutter Hanover, Kalidow Hanover, Ten Hanover, Hud Hanover and Ax Hanover. Their birth names:  Mark Hantov, Matthew Hantov, Carter Hantov, Kaleb Hanover, Tennant Hanover, Hudson Hanover and Axel Hanover. Seven new boys. All picked Hanover. This was the new Hanover life.  Charles could never leave. Nor could Aspen.
