Chapter 21 - Celestial Debut I

After both Sylvia and the young prince had finished sobbing they had they remained in each other arms causing them to then cuddle on the grass for what felt like hours.

'You can never be too sure with these things!'

Sylvia reassuringly thought causing her to then helplessly smile.

"Sylvia?"

The young prince curiously queried.

"Hmm? What is it, my sweet prince?"

Sylvia surprisingly asked.

"I-I love Sylvia"

The young prince adorably confessed before then kissing Sylvia's cheek surprising her causing her to then quickly blush.

'So preci-dangerous!'

Sylvia thought before then hugging the young prince even tighter.

"I love you too Aurel! I'll never ever let you feel what it means to be lonely! And that's a promise!"

Sylvia happily exclaimed.

"I-I promise too!"

The young prince righteously exclaimed as well causing Sylvia to then playfully smile before then kissing his cheeks and pinning him to the ground once more.

"Sylvia?"

The young prince curiously asked causing Sylvia to then adorably smile before then laying her head on the young prince's chest.

"You're such a teddy bear.."

Sylvia giggled causing the young prince to then adorably flip Sylvia over before then pinning her to the ground surprising her.

"Aurel?"

Sylvia surprisingly asked causing the young prince to then lay his head on Sylvia's chest.

'He's learning so fast!'

Sylvia proudly thought causing her to then comfortably smile before then hugging the young prince's head once more.

"We can practice another time.. for now, let's just stay this like for a little while longer"

Sylvia happily rested causing the young prince to then adorably nod before then kissing her cheek causing her to then proudly smile.

'This is the best I deserve this..'

Sylvia playfully thought before then hugging the young prince's head once more.

After several hours had passed Sylvia couldn't help but pout before then noticing she had forgotten to wake the young prince earlier.

Causing her to then sigh with relief after then noticing that despite that no one had tried to wake up the young prince.

'Hmm.. a few more minutes wouldn't hurt would it?'

Sylvia curiously thought before then cuddling the young prince some more, after another hour had passed Sylvia couldn't help but pout once more.

'Bully!'

Sylvia poutily thought causing her to then flip the young prince over before then pinning him to the ground once more.

"I'd hate to ruin this.. but Selphie needs you! You can't keep a girl waiting! And don't worry.. I'll still be here when you come back!"

Sylvia reassured before then kissing the young prince on the cheek causing him to then wake up before then pouting.

'Bully..'

The young prince thought as well before then rubbing his eyes causing Selphie to then happily hug him even tighter.

"Good morning my celestial teddy bear!"

Selphie whispered before then kissing the young prince's forehead causing the young prince to then blush before then looking around with an adorably confused expression.

"Hmm? Oh! Everyone else has left to get breakfast! It's only me, you, and Iris!"

Selphie explained causing Iris to then adorably rub her eyes before then laying her head on the young prince's chest.

"Breakfast?"

Iris sleepily mumbled causing Selphie to then happily kiss her forehead much how she had done with the young prince causing Iris to then blush.

"I didn't see you three at breakfast is everything alright?"

Aldra worriedly asked before then feeling the young prince's head.

"Everything's fine Aldra! Our celestial teddy bear here decided to sleep in leaving only me and Iris to keep him company!"

Selphie happily reassured causing both Iris's and the young prince's stomachs to then rumble causing Aldra to then shake her head all the while causing Selphie to then helplessly smile.

"What am I going to do with you two?"

Aldra playfully asked causing both Iris and the young prince to then look to each other with adorably curious expressions before then blushing.

Noticing this both Aldra and Selphie couldn't help but smile.

"Aren't they precious?"

Selphie happily asked causing Aldra to then nod.

"They are, I'm just worried that The Celestial Debut might be too much for them.."

Aldra worriedly confessed.

"That's true! Those two haven't been known to be very sociable around new faces?"

Silas curiously added before then sitting next to Selphie causing Iris to then adorably hide under the covers.

"Bully.."

Selphie quietly pouted causing Silas to then helplessly shake his head before then playing with the young prince's hair.

"Many of the children belonging to nobles and royals will be attending.. I'm worried it may be a bit overwhelming at first"

Silas worriedly considered surprising both Aldra and Selphie by Silas's sudden maturity.

"And not just that! So many young boys might mistake both Mili and our young prince for princesses and try to woo them! We can't have that can we?"

Silas laughed causing both Iris and the young prince to then immediately pout.

"Don't be a bully.. meanie!"

Iris defensively pouted causing her to then quickly frown.

"Me-Meanie.."

The young prince adorably added as well causing Selphie to then happily hug both Iris and the young prince.

"You showed him!"

Selphie proudly giggled causing Aldra to then softly giggle.

"It appears I have been defeated once more!"

Silas openly thought.

"Your prize will be me accompanying you two to the debut!"

Silas happily added causing Aldra to then quickly shake her head.

"Unfortunately.. you're not a child Silas"

Aldra happily added as well causing Silas to then helplessly shake his head.

Before then blinding everyone with a sudden flash of light, after the light had dissipated a little Elf boy who resembled Silas had soon appeared.

"Big sister?"

The young Silas adorably joked causing Aldra's heart to then burst just like it did before in Bradley's command tent many years earlier.

"What do you think?"

The young Silas playfully asked causing Selphie to then adorably blush.

"I love it!"

Selphie playfully exclaimed causing the young prince to then quickly pout.

"Bullies.."

The young prince pouted Causing Selphie to then playfully smile before then hugging the young prince.

"Jealous?"

Selphie jokingly asked causing the young prince to then pout once more.

"Don't be jealous if anything it should be the other way around! You're my unrivaled celestial teddy bear! Silas could only wish for such a grand title!"

Selphie happily exclaimed before then reassuringly kissing the young prince's forehead causing him to then quickly blush.

"You wound me! But.. what wounded me, even more, was the truth! I can't rival someone as adorable as our adorable young prince!"

The young Silas playfully confessed causing both Selphie and Aldra to then helplessly shake their heads.

Moments Noel had soon returned from breakfast followed by Annie while both Rory and Elisabet had stayed with Bradley.

Bromley, and Marjorie, while Mai, and Amber stayed with still sleeping Mili.

After entering both Noel and Annie looked to the new face with curious expressions.

"Bi-big brother?"

Noel surprisingly asked causing the young Silas to then playfully smile before hugging Noel.

"Big sister!"

The young Silas adorably exclaimed surprising Annie causing her to then excitedly smile.

'So precious! Silas is so little now!'

Annie adorably thought.

"Big brother you're so small!"

Noel adorably exclaimed before then happily hugging the young Silas even tighter.

"Don't be a bully big sis!"

The young Silas jokingly pouted causing Noel to then shake her head.

"Don't be a bully big brother.."

Noel adorably reprimanded causing the young Silas to then quickly lower his head.

"I'm sorry big sis.."

The young Silas adorably apologized causing Noel to then adorably smile before then hugging the young Silas once more.

"Silas catch this!"

Amber laughed causing the young Silas to then quickly hide behind Noel.

"Protect me big sister!"

The young Silas adorably begged.

'So precious!'

Annie thought before then quickly throwing a pillow at Silas hitting him in the face and causing him to then fall on the bed.

"Good shot! here's another!"

Selphie giggled before then tossing pillows to Annie causing her to then playfully throw a barrage of pillows at the young Silas.

After the young Silas had been played with to the full extent they had then continued planning for the debut party causing Silas to then hide behind Aldra and yet Annie still got in a few lucky shots.

Causing both Aldra and Selphie to then laugh softly at the young Silas's misfortune.

After several hours had passed batches of both Royal and Noble children began arriving from all over The Celestial Pact.

With the addition of children belonging to both The Trade Confederations and several nonmember Kingdoms associated with The Celestial Pact.

The Kingdoms associated with The Celestial Pact were considered unofficial members while some others were in fact awaiting admission into The Celestial Pact.

While the latter preferred a close yet open relationship giving them slightly more freedom.

These unofficial members were free to openly trade with the members of The Celestial Pact while still reaping some of the benefits they might have received if they were actual members.

Admissions into The Celestial Pact required a long and in-depth vetting process.

The reason why The Celestial Pact was created so quickly was that many of the members were already 'somewhat' like-minded individuals who had fought alongside each other as comrades.

Excluding The Dragons of The Draconian Empire who had barely wished to dabble into such things.

The other reason being The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale and The Kingdom of The Elves had kept close tabs on these Kingdoms while they were still in the previous Alliance.

They were already trusted and had ancient forms or relations to one another however such processes left some ties to be debated and unless investigated and dealt with years earlier It would've still been a risky endeavor despite there being no such threat.

Resulting in them having an extra layer of security in the case they were no longer worthy allies they once were or their inheritors had drastically changed with no time to publicly think of the matter leaving such things for.. other specialized organizations.

Fortunately, both Kingdoms were pleasantly surprised to then discover that many of their old and new members proved themselves in many different ways causing both Kingdoms with the addition of The Dark Elf Empire to then breath a sigh of relief with minimal fallout.

Despite this both Kethryllia and Amelia didn't take any chances before then using the tyrannical set of laws and privileges to then protect the big three and The Celestial Pact as a whole.

After almost all of the children had arrived a separate event catering to those who brought their children soon began for the many Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses, Nobles, and Mothers of the children belonging to The Trade Confederation.

All of whom were escorted to a banquet held by Bradley while Aldra, Annie, Marjorie, and Amber were in charge of The Celestial Debut in a different great hall nearest to The Celestial Garden.

After getting dressed in their debut attires everyone had then left for The Great Hall, they soon met up with Marjorie, Rory, and Elisabet.

And Amber, Mai, and Mili were on their way before then being escorted by a detachment of The Queen's Guard, The Queen's Guard was Aldra's own personal guard much like Bradley's King's Guard.

The only difference between the two was the fact that Aldra's Queen's Guard was made up almost entirely of female Elves who wore a elegant yet unique golden armor with an Elven influence and insignia of the Queen's Guard.

While also being equipped with the same golden mage spears as The King's Guard causing both the young prince and Mili to then stare curiously at their armor while being escorted to The Celestial Debut.

Moments later they soon entered the great golden hall causing The Queen's Guard to then relieve The Royal Guard garnering the attention of all the children who had previously been staring at The Great Hall in awe.

The Great Hall had a lavish red carpet with golden patterns that felt like walking on fine silk which complimented the diamond-embedded ceiling.

Pure gold candlesticks, and bright golden decorations resulting in such luxury being perceived as too extravagant, much like The Great Hall The Celestial Palace itself was built in the same fashion.

The Celestial Palace was in fact built entirely of the most precious and even more precious magical materials.

The Ancient Celestial Kings and Celestial Queens of The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale were only Kings and Queens in name while in reality they lived and ruled as all-powerful Emperors and Empresses much like The Previous Celestial Empire.

That also surrounded them in their almost unlimited wealth until one day an Ancient Inari Princess named Regina put an end to their endless spending after marrying Celestial King Altera Vale.

Causing her to then take the responsibility and raise their children and the children of the Royal Family to then become more wise, humble, and modest.

Queen Regina was once The Elder Princess of The Kingdom of Vulpes which was later renamed The Kingdom of Inari, with that being said all of the Cities and Towns are located in The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale and territories.

Were in fact still extravagant the only difference being fewer precious magical metals were used in their construction even less for Towns that resembled small Cities.

With that being said the commoners lived like Nobles while Peasants were nonexistent the only exception being refugees who had even then begun living like poor Nobles and given endless potential over time.

The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale was still the second-largest Kingdom in landmass just behind The Dark Elf Empire.

Both of which had a large surplus of natural resources and with the help of their limitless wealth resulted in all of this being made possible.
