Chapter 12 - Birth of The Abyssal Prince

Six weeks had soon passed since The Birth of The Celestial Prince, during those six weeks news of the newest member of both The Kingdom of The Elves and The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale's Royal Families being a boy shocked many.

Causing many others to then celebrate for The Elves.

The news had also shocked The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale however it had greatly shocked The Kingdom of The Elves to a greater extent.

Princesses of The Kingdom of The Elves who generally marry into other Royal Families are in fact very rare however in any case they don't lose their titles and their children will also still inherit a similar title.

The greatest issue and surprise coming from a Princess giving birth to a boy is the fact that they don't actually have the title of prince in The Kingdom of The Elves.

The reason is obvious being they never had or expected one in the first place causing many to then debate on how Kethryllia would handle this.

Would the baby prince be the first not to inherit an Elven Royal title despite his mother being a Princess of The Kingdom of The Elves?

Or would Queen Kethryllia choose the latter and issue the baby prince the title of The First Prince of The Kingdom of The Elves?

Even if that was the case it would only be considered a powerful yet respected title with many privileges the only exception being he couldn't inherit the throne for obvious reasons.

Those reasons being he was both a boy and Aldra had sacrificed both her rights to the throne and her title as a crown princess by marrying into another Royal Family and naturally.

Her children wouldn't have that right if she had already lost it herself making Noel next in line to the throne.

Unsurprisingly Kethryllia did exactly that giving the baby prince the title of The First Prince of The Kingdom of The Elves which didn't surprise anyone in The Kingdom of the Elves.

And saw very little pushback from The Elder Council with very few speaking against it.. mainly because most felt that they would've done the same in Queen Kethryllia's position.

Not to mention both Lady Selphine and Lord Silvanus's involvement gave the select few traditionalists who opposed it no way of contesting it and seeing as they couldn't either way they could only pout themselves to sleep at night.

The Elder Council was quite complicated.. those select few Elders who opposed it had no actual 'rights' or powers to question or contest it.

However some still did.. because despite him being The 'First' Elven Prince they still saw him as a Celestial Prince..

And without seeing him or knowing how he'll be raised those few still feared he'd just cast the title aside..

All the while after the news was released shortly after it had actually in fact shocked many of the other members of The Elven Races such as The Wood Elves, Sea Elves, High Elves, etc!

The reason for this was actually a pretty simple one.. because Lady Selphine could be considered their Origin God and naturally The Elves, especially The Elves who carry The Elven Royal Bloodline.

Could be and are considered The First of The Elves and are their direct and most respected ancestors.

Some even consider The Elves and members of The Elven Royal Family to be both their omnipotent and benevolent backers and without them, they wouldn't exist or prosper like they do today.

Surprising many Elves who had encountered these people as they were in fact treated like the noblest elders while members of the royal family could only be treated second only to their gods and Lady Selphine.

Causing many Elves most of which are very young to avoid these awkward situations by staying away or simply asking against it.

Shortly after the news was released, The Dark Elf Empire soon followed in the footsteps of The Kingdom of The Elves by doing the exact same decree.

Surprising everyone once more causing a similar situation to then occur with both The Blood Elves and The Abyssal Elves as Lord Silvanus was in fact their Origin God.

Much like Selphie was to the other Elven races and it could be said that The Dark Elves were treated much similarly to The Elves.

So at the end of the day, the baby prince held three Royal Titles matching each of his three Royal Bloodlines.

Of course, no one who hadn't witnessed The Birth of The Celestial Prince knew this.. just like no one else but Aldra, Amber, Selphie, and Vivian knew that Annie was in fact giving birth at the moment.

Annie had actually been staying in her very close friend's shrine called The Shrine of Maiya her very close friend was in fact Maiya The Demigoddess of Inari after she could no longer hide the fact she was in fact pregnant.

After Selphie, Amber, Aldra, and Vivian arrived to The Shrine of Maiya they were soon greeted by a little Demi-Human girl.

The little Demi-Human girl looked about the same age as Selphie, she wore an elegant white and silver traditional Inari kimono complimenting her pristine white hair, eyes, fox ears, tail, and adorable features.

"Selphie! You three made it just on time!"

Mai excitedly exclaimed before then immediately hugging Selphie.

"We had to sneak away! How's Annie?"

Selphie excitedly queried causing Mai to then helplessly smile.

"She's fine! But I had to call in some help so Lady Inari's also here as well.. it seems witnessing Annie giving birth made me a little queasy so I let Lady Inari take over!"

Mai adorably confessed.

"Does she need a helping hand?"

Vivian curiously asked causing Mai to then happily nod.

"I was hoping you'd come! Annie wanted to keep this a secret so I hid as much as I possibly could so it's only Lady Inari in there at the moment!"

Mai admitted causing Vivian to then playfully nod.

"I should get going then!"

Vivian reassured before then entering the other room.

"Oh, gods this place is a mess!"

Vivian yelled from the other room causing Selphie, Aldra, and Mai to then helplessly smile.

"I blame Mai! She never cleans up after herself!"

Lady Inari laughingly yelled.

"How is this my fault?! Ari's the one who makes the mess as soon as she enters the room!"

Mai pouted causing both Aldra and Selphie to then helplessly smile.

"You're both messy so I'd just accept it at this point!"

Selphie joked.

"Don't judge m-"

Mai defendingly pouted before then being cut off.

"IT HURTS! I SWEAR I'M GOING TO GO PAY THAT BASTARD A VISIT IN THE ENDLESS ABYSS AND BREAK HIS LEGS!"

Annie angrily yelled from the other room.

"And I'll help!"

Vivian jokingly yelled back causing Aldra, Selphie, and Mai to then helplessly smile.

"I love those two!"

Selphie laughed causing Aldra to then gently nod.

"Those two always find a way to brighten my mood"

Aldra confessed causing Mai to then nod before then realizing something.

"Wai-Wait.. why did she mention The Endless Abyss unless?"

Mai curiously asked causing both Aldra and Selphie to then freeze.

"She did mention that.."

Aldra curiously added causing Selphie to then nod before then shaking her head.

"She couldn't have could she?"

Selphie helplessly joked.

Moments later all three heard a gentle baby's cry causing all three to then excitedly hug each other.

Soon both Vivian and Ari soon entered the room, Ari wore an elegant white and silver gown complimenting her pristine white hair.

Eyes, fox ears, tail, and cute features before then snapping her fingers causing her to then revert to a little girl that looked around the same age as Selphie with the same adorable features as before.

"Much better! I couldn't help much in this form"

Ari relaxed causing Vivian to then helplessly smile.

"I wish I could do that! I wouldn't have to miss all the fun stuff while I go clean myself up"

Vivian playfully pouted causing Ari to then playfully smile before then snapping her fingers cleaning both Vivian and reverting her into a little girl as well.

Surprising Vivian for a moment before then noticing her elegant silver dress and boots causing her to then excitedly smile.

"I can't wait to see mother's and Marjorie's faces!"

Vivian excitedly exclaimed.

"Oh and Annie's ready to see everyone if anything it's a surprise no less!"

Vivian playfully added, moments later they all soon entered the room before then noticing the baby in question in Annie's arms surprising everyone once more before then surrounding Annie's bed.

"It's a boy!"

Annie happily announced causing everyone to then smile, the baby boy apparently resembled his mother the most causing Annie to then proudly smile.

The baby boy was wrapped in an elegant yet soft white cloth complimenting his pristine whitish blonde hair, paleish blue-violet eyes, and tiny yet adorable Elf ears causing Selphie to then playfully smile.

"So the father's an Abyssal Elf? Oh and he seems to possess a very pure Abyssal Elf Royal Bloodline as well.."

Selphie playfully observed causing Annie to then helplessly blush.

"Ye-Yes.. and it seems he may have also been an Abyssal Lord"

Annie hesitantly added surprising everyone.

"Ann-Annie!"

Amber coughed causing Annie to then helplessly smile.

"Annie I'm so proud of you!"

Vivian tearily chimed in surprising everyone.

"Vi-Vivian?!"

Annie surprisingly noticed causing Vivian to then adorably smile before then quickly hopping on the bed causing her to then happily poke the baby Elf's cheeks.

"Ari did it and I love it so far!"

Vivian happily confessed causing Annie to then nod with approval all the while causing Selphie to then finally remember something.

"Wait.. let me make a guess! Abyssal Lord Ames Caedis?!"

Selphie surprisingly asked surprising everyone causing Annie to then blush.

"Maybe.."

Annie playfully admitted before then happily kissing the baby boy's forehead.

"Ann-Annie!"

Amber reprimanded causing Annie to then pout causing Selphie to then helplessly smile once more.

"Abyssal Lord Ames is very secretive and it appears he had recently become a High-Level Sacred Abyssal Mage and since both very few The Demon Gods are left and The Abyssal Gods aren't very active.."

"He's now considered by many to be The Greater Abyssal Overlord of The Endless Abyss.. he might even breakthrough and become a Demigod in the coming years"

Selphie helplessly explained surprising Annie.

"I-I didn't know that.."

Annie adorably confessed causing Mai to then blush.

"How didn't you know this?!"

Mai adorably reprimanded causing Annie to then pout before then adorably poking the baby boy's cheeks causing him to then adorably grab her finger causing everyone's heart to then melt.

"So precious! Have you decided on his name yet?"

Amber excitedly queried tone causing Annie to then excitedly nod.

"He shall be known as Aemilius Maiya Caedis Vale!"

Annie playfully proclaimed surprising Mai.

"Congratulations Mai!"

Selphie quickly congratulated.

"I'm still going to break Mr. Abyssal Lord's Legs on your behalf!"

Mai pouted causing Ari to proudly smile all the while causing Annie to then remember something herself.

"I-I want to keep Mili a secret for now.. s-so would it be possible for him to stay here for now?"

Annie worriedly confessed causing Mai to then adorably nod.

"Of course!"

Mai happily accepted causing Annie to then sign with relief.

"I want to keep him a secret for as long as possible.. at least until I can finally tell both Bradley and Bromley.. oh and Silas because he'd join in because he's Silas"

Annie worriedly confessed before then gently cradling Mili.

"He's so precious! The pain was worth it!"

Annie happily added.

"Annie, how long do you think we should keep him a secret? I'd hate to hide this from the others for too long"

Amber curiously asked causing Aldra to then nod.

"I'd have to agree but.. if you need a mediator or help to tell Bradley you need only ask"

Aldra reassuringly offered causing Selphie to then nod.

"I'll handle Silas and make sure he doesn't help those two if they do decide to try something"

Selphie chimed in causing both Mai and Ari to then quickly nod as well.

"I and Marjorie will handle Bromley so it seems we'll have enough safeguards.. at least for now!"

Vivian chimed in as well causing Annie to then tearily smile before then nodding.

"I-I'll need some time.. I'll need to find some time to inform Ames that he now has a precious baby boy before making some preparations of my own.."

"I'll be away for some time I fear the latest will be four years.. s-so I'm entrusting him to Mai and hope everyone else here can also watch over him while I'm away"

Annie guiltily explained causing everyone to then nod before then hugging Annie.

"He-He's still an Elf so I hope my blessings will do"

Selphie reassured before then kissing Mili on the forehead causing a white ball of light to then enter him before then dissipating.

Causing Mili's skin to then glow causing Ari to then playfully smile before then doing the same.

"I might not be a god of The Elves but.. I hope this will do as well!"

Ari adorably comforted causing Annie to then tearily smile.

"You all are just so precious!"

Annie tearily confessed.
