Chapter 16 - Celestial Baby Steps V

'It appears they wish to keep this hidden gem a secret for the time being'

Malum thought.

"He is indeed! It's an honest mistake seeing as he looks more like an Elf Princess than a Prince!"

Silas joked causing Selphie to then pout causing both Bradley and Malum to then shake their heads.

'He never learns does he?'

Bradley thought before then noticing the young prince and Amber approach causing Malum to then place Iris on the ground.

Causing her to then look to the young prince with an adorably curious expression, moments later the two had finally approached each other with adorably curious expressions causing all four to then excitedly smile with anticipation.

"Sister?"

Iris adorably queried surprising everyone causing Silas to then laugh softly, both Bradley and Malum soon joined in.

Before then noticing they were being glared at by both Selphie and Amber causing all three to then cease their laughter with helpless smiles causing the young prince to then shake his head.

"I-I'm a boy"

The young prince blushed surprising Iris causing her to then blush before then hugging the young prince.

"I'm sorry.. your too pretty to be a boy"

Iris shyly confessed.

"You-Your prettier.."

The young prince adorably blushed causing both Selphie and Amber to then adorably smile before then hugging both Iris and the young prince.

"So cute!"

Both exclaimed causing both Iris and the young prince to then blush.

"They are indeed! It appears this play date was indeed successful!"

Bradley confessed causing Malum to then nod.

"Indeed!"

Malum agreed.

"Bradley! Isn't there a debut party coming up soon?"

Selphie remembered causing Bradley to then excitedly nod.

"There is! And it just so happens to be several days from now!"

Bradley answered before then turning to Malum.

"Every member of The Celestial Pact and even their noble families have also been invited"

Bradley added causing Malum to then nod.

"Hmm.. will young Aurelius be wearing a dress? It's only appropriate!"

Silas joked causing both Amber and Selphie to then pout.

Causing both the young prince and Iris to then follow suit noticing this both Amber and Selphie couldn't help but hug the two once more before then hearing the door open.

"Big brother!"

Noel exclaimed before then hugging Silas.

"Noe-"

Silas exclaimed before being cut off.

"Silas.."

Emilia reprimanded before then approaching both the young prince and Iris causing her to then pat both of their heads causing the young prince to then hug Emilia.

"Em-Emilia!"

The young prince exclaimed causing Emilia to then smile.

"Don't mind me.."

Emilia whispered before then hugging the young prince once more causing Noel, Amber, Iris, and Selphie to then join in.

"Adorable little girls do have a habit of finding each other.."

Silas playfully joked causing both Iris and the young prince to then pout.

"Bully.."

Both pouted causing both Amber and Selphie to then hug them once more.

"We're so proud of you two!"

Both giggled causing Emilia to then helplessly smile before then looking to Silas.

"What do you mean by a little girl?"

Emilia jokingly warned causing Silas to then smile wearily.

"Hmm? should I repeat myself?"

Silas curiously asked causing Bradley to then shake his head.

'Brother Silas you better not! Why do you do this to yourself?'

Bradley worriedly thought causing Emilia to then shake her head before then hugging the young prince once more.

"I can't believe Aurelius already has a girlfriend!"

Noel exclaimed causing both Iris and the young prince to then blush before turning away from each other causing everyone to then smile.

"Ah! Young love!"

Silas jokingly exclaimed before then nudging both Bradley and Malum causing both to then shake their heads.

"They're far too young for such things Silas.."

Bradley confessed causing Malum to then nod.

"I'd be forced to agree.. but I'd still enjoy seeing what the future holds for those two"

Malum agreed causing Bradley to then nod.

"It's time for proper introductions!"

Selphie excitedly explained causing Amber to then nod while the young prince had soon been transferred to Emilia's lap.

"This is Prince Aurelius Emilia Elfin Vale of The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale"

Emilia both gently and warmly explained.

"Prince Aur-Aurelius?"

Iris adorably asked causing the young prince to then blush.

"Now it's your turn!"

Selphie explained.

"I-I am Princess Iris Furvus the first daughter of daddy.."

Iris shyly mumbled causing everyone to then smile.

"You're too cute Iris!"

Noel exclaimed before then happily hugging Iris.

"So warm!"

Noel openly thought.

"I almost forgot! Are you two ready for The Celestial Debut? Annie's already making preparations with Aldra so it should be interesting.. oh and I believe Mili should be arriving soon with Lady Mayia"

Emilia curiously asked in a curious yet gentle tone causing both Iris and the young prince to then look to her with adorably curious expressions.

"Bradley.."

Amber angrily pouted causing Bradley to then take a step back.

"I-I may have forgotten to mention it!"

Bradley confessed causing Amber and the others to then stare to both Malum and Silas.

"Silas.."

Selphie pouted causing him to then shake his head.

"What is it?"

Silas curiously queried causing Selphie to then shake her head.

"Malum have you already explained everything to Iris?"

Emilia curiously asked causing Malum to then shake his head.

"I haven't had the time.."

Malum said in a helpless yet brotherly tone causing Emilia to then shake her head.

"I'll just explain it to them then.."

Amber pouted causing Emilia and the others to then nod with approval.

"The debut party also known as The Celestial Debut started out as a very old tradition dating back to ancient times!"

"Its purpose was to show off the children of both royals and nobles however it's a lot less exclusive now, so, in a way, it's just a big banquet playdate!"

Amber excitedly explained causing both the young prince and Iris to then adorably nod.

"I'd imagine these two haven't been around so many children their age?"

Emilia worriedly asked causing both Bradley and Malum to then helplessly nod.

"Unfortunately Iris isn't very social.."

Malum confessed causing Bradley to then helplessly nod as well.

"Aurelius has only been around girls his age, I would've included Mili as the only other boy however he's in a similar situation.. so I fear both have yet realized what it means to be a boy"

Bradley helplessly admitted causing Selphie to then helplessly smile.

"What are we going to do with you two?"

Selphie giggled before then hugging both the young prince and Iris.

"Hmm.. does Aurelius still sleep alone?"

Selphie remembered causing Bradley to then shake his head.

"Unfortunately both Rory and Elisabet caught a cold.. so Aurel's been staying with Annie, Mai, and Mili while Vivian left for Feless for a few days"

Bradley explained causing Selphie to then nod.

"Let's fix that!"

Selphie openly thought.

"How about a sleepover for the next few days?"

Selphie curiously queried.

"That could work! However.. I have some matters to attend to and I'm afraid to leave Iris here all alone"

Malum worriedly confessed causing Selphie to then shake her head.

"She won't be alone! We already have the solution to both problems already!"

Selphie reassured causing Malum to then nod before then looking to both Iris and the young prince.

"Iris.. would you be ok if daddy left you with The Vale Family for a few days?"

Malum worriedly asked causing Iris to then think for a moment before then adorably nodding.

"That's one! What do you think Aurelius?"

Selphie cheered causing the young prince to then adorably nod.

"That's two! And they're not alone! I, Noel, and Amber will be joining them!"

Selphie added causing Amber and Noel to then nod, after a moment both Bradley and Malum looked to each other before then nodding.
