After entering everyone had soon noticed the large yet elegant white marbled conference table filled with breakfast items.
"I've already prepared breakfast! We can talk about these other matters after or even during if you'd like"
Celie happily offered causing the young prince to then happily hug her to the fullest.
"Celie is the best!"
The young prince happily exclaimed causing her to then proudly smile.
Before then once again calming your herself down by sitting at one of the golden thrones causing the young prince to then adorably join her resulting in everyone else taking a seat as well.
"Lady Celes didn't mention much other than your visit, breakfast, and this precious celestial prince.. and oh something about him having different forms! I'm impressed!"
Celie curiously remembered.
Causing the young prince to then excitedly nod all the while causing Bradley to then helplessly smile.
"I believe she probably intended for each of us to fill in the gaps, I originally intended to help Aurel pick his own personal guard after Celes and The Temple decided to surprise me with many different yet strange requests.."
"With that in mind I decided to ask Aurel and with that, it appears that both he and Lady Celes had already decided on The Celestial Praetorian Guard?"
Bradley explained surprising Celie causing her to then adorably nod.
"Makes sense, we had reverted to a ceremonial and honor guard 'millenniums' ago after everything became much more peaceful resulting in both The Celestial King's and Queen's Guards taking our place.."
"Speaking of which there's no hard feelings from me or the others so you needn't worry about any sort of resentment or childish outbursts occurring with these old froggies!"
Celie reassuringly explained causing the young prince to then adorably look up to her with an adorably curious expression causing Celie to then helplessly smile.
"The Celestial Praetorian Guard was in fact a ruthless and terrifying force comparable if not even more ruthless than The Celestial Hand.. resulting in us eventually having a 'reputation' during those not so peaceful times.."
"We were more like The Celestial King's and Queen's Guard but we also 'did' many other things in the shadows which no doubt helped us gain such a.. 'reputation' resulting in us still being very much feared and renown today"
"Be it The Endless Abyss, isolated continents, and everything else in between, my predecessors knew what they were going for and stuck to it without much thought.."
"Those old froggies occasionally went overboard with those antics of theirs which made my job a lot harder at times, they could've at least tried to make it easier for the next girl!"
Celie helplessly confessed before then carefully cutting a small piece of a celestial fried chicken cutlet and adorably feeding it to the young prince causing Bradley to then helplessly nod.
"I heard stories but if I may ask.. you told us earlier that your name was in fact 'Lady' Celie Avery Vale meaning we could be related in some way?"
Bradley surprisingly asked causing Celie to then playfully smile.
"You'd be correct! I was once a Celestial Princess and still am! However it's a secondary title now if anything, and much like Annie I didn't choose to become a 'High Queen' and instead decided to lead The Celestial Praetorian Guard"
"And 'also' chose to hang around Lady Celes making me your great, great, great, and ect lingering aunt! Your 'mommy' Avery used to visit me all the time too!"
Celie proudly confessed surprising everyone causing the young prince to then adorably cut a piece of the cutlet and adorably feed it to Celie causing Silas to then stop munching before then playfully nodding.
"I remember now! You were the only girl and yet you still grew to be far stronger than your brothers and even ignored the chance to become The Celestial Queen.. sounds a lot like a certain someone we know?"
Silas jokingly remembered surprising Bradley once more causing Celie to then proudly smile before then removing her helmet surprising everyone once more.
"You even look like Annie.. she must have gotten those traits from you I'm guessing"
Bradley openly thought causing the young prince to then excitedly hug Celie once more.
"I-I love Celie!"
The young prince lovingly confessed causing her to then proudly blush.
"Enough about me! Let's get back on topic, how should we go about incorporating The Celestial Praetorian Guard into our precious Celestial Prince's Guard?"
"All of my Praetorians have already been in The Sacred Realm for 'millenniums' so we already have enough when it comes to battle experience and old 'demons' including myself despite my looks!"
"But despite this, we'll still have to both modernize and adapt to the times, we've already prepared for such things however some of us haven't left this tower in a very long time"
Celie explained surprising both Theodore and Bradley causing Silas to then playfully smile.
"The 'Sacred' Realm especially those who've lived that long are incredibly rare anywhere else and even uncommon now despite many still living in seclusion and even becoming advisors and possibly observers?"
"All the while being gods among mortals in all, so the presence and reputation alone would have added even more layers of security than he previously already had?"
"As for the modernization aspect you need only worry about your outdated humor and possibly even some history lessons!"
Silas jokingly chimed in causing Celie to then adorably nod.
"You're right about that but we'd still need to get used to The Praetorian Guards returning to the fray, I have faith we'd be able to adapt right away!"
"In any case, I'll inform The Praetorian Guard and work side by side with your Royal Guard, King's Guard, and Queen's Guard in the meantime, for now, we should move on to funner things like finishing our breakfasts!"
"And also having our precious Celestial Prince pick out our uniforms and banners!"
Celie happily reminded before then adorably feeding the young prince once more causing everyone else to then playfully nod.
After breakfast, they had soon arrived to a strange yet Ancient Celestial Museum of sorts where many armors and banners were displayed.
Causing the young prince's eyes to then adorably sparkle with excitement while still adorably hugging Celie's hip.
All the while she happily explained their origins, inspirations, and, eras along with explaining those were that were worn and displayed eventually stopping at a certain obsidian armor and a banner draped in a sinister black.
And violet surprising, Celie, causing her to then excitedly smile.
"You have a keen eye! This ornated yet sinister armor and banner have several varieties and specializations, it is also considered the most infamous and feared among them all!"
"So much so that we even had to eventually be changed out in the hopes of easing everyone's worries, the reasons for these worries are fairly complicated"
Celie helplessly explained before then noticing the young prince's eyes filled with even more admiration causing her to excitedly smile.
"But in short both were used during the bloodiest of times in that era, be it the Void Era, The Blight Invasion, Celestial Elfin war, and etc!"
"Because you can even see paintings and statues scattered throughout the continents, heck almost all of The Praetorian Guards participated one way or another 'including' myself! I can't help but feel nostalgia every time I walk past it!"
Celie reminisced causing the young prince to excitedly nod.
"Thi-This one!"
The young prince adorably exclaimed surprising both Bradley and Theodore causing both to then wearily smile.
Causing Silas to then laugh before then playfully nudging both.
"Our Aurel has no doubt picked the most iconic combo, I still remember the times when many even prayed to me so as to avoid those wearing that armor!"
Silas joked causing Bradley to then helplessly shake his head.
"I-I have nothing against Aurel's choice of course but.. I just hope that it doesn't have any major implications.."
"I fear some of those other old 'demons' would vomit blood after seeing these Praetorians returning to the fold, I'm half expecting a letter from mother at this point"
Bradley openly thought causing Theodore to then helplessly nod all the while causing Silas to then playfully shake his head once more.
"You worry too much!"
Silas reassured causing all three to then helplessly look to the young prince with a helplessly curious expression.
After then noticing he had now adorably begun wearing such an iconic ornately golden helmet that was previously on display.
"Soo cute!"
Celie adorably exclaimed causing the young prince to then adorably hug her even more.
Causing her to then adorably smile.
"We might as well skip ahead and inform The Celestial Praetorians together!"
Celie happily added causing the young prince to then excitedly nod.
Soon after informing The Celestial Praetorian Guard all of who were surprised and had then immediately taken and repeated their oaths.
Before then finally completing preparations resulting in almost all of them immediately changing both their armors and banners surprising many in The Celestial Capital after noticing these changes.
Causing many others and their embassies to then report the news surprising even Aldra causing her to then helplessly smile, all the while The Celestial Praetorian Guard had already organized and adapted to these new changes.
Resulting in both The Celestial King's Guard and The Celestial Praetorian Guard to then return to The Celestial Palace with Bradley.
Silas, Theodore, and the young prince before then being greeted by Aldra and her detachment of The Queen's Guard.
Causing her to then immediately hug the young prince.
"I was afraid something may have happened, but I'm glad to see my worries were in vain"
Aldra worriedly sighed causing Bradley to then helplessly smile.
"And it seems you have already chosen your personal guard, from what I heard they're among the best"
"Iris, Stella, and the others are waiting for you, so I shouldn't keep you, my sweet prince"
Aldra remembered causing the young prince to then adorably blush before then hugging Aldra even tighter.
"I-I love mommy!"
The young prince adorably whispered causing Aldra to then happily smile before then kissing the young prince's forehead.
Soon after The Members of both The Celestial King's and Queen's Guard along with The Celestial Praetorian Guard had finally incorporated with each other much like they had done all those years ago.
Before surprising everyone once more resulting in Bradley having to explain for the strange happenings this day resulting in it being made known that Lady Celes was in fact at the heart of it surprising many once more.
All the while both the young prince and Mili had begun showing off their forms causing Selphie to then slightly cringe after seeing the young prince's High Elf Form causing her to then lament the fact that Celes did it out of spite.
