After sighing Kethryllia couldn't help but gently shake her head before then gently patting Suna's head.
"I'd 'imagine' I could make 'some' time for that later.. for now, I believe we shouldn't keep Aldra and the others waiting?"
"I'd also Imagine Noel had already 'convinced' both Aldra and the others into conducting their magic research in the Celestial Garden.. so they may already suspect something's amiss? We shouldn't keep them waiting"
Kethryllia playfully reminded causing both Suna's and the young prince's eyes to then adorably sparkle even more causing Suna after noticing this to then happily hug both the young prince and Scarlet.
"Mine! Unlike Bradley you're exempt! You're not only Aldra's but 'mine' too!"
Suna adorably coddled causing the young prince to then adorably blush before happily nodding seemingly in some form of an agreement.
Causing both Selphie and Sura to then happily join in, after the hugs had finished all seven had soon left for the Celestial Gardens causing Kethryllia to then quickly take her to then quickly leave to cook up a surprise,
Causing Sura to then happily follow Kethryllia's example and do the same, all the while Selphie had received a mental message from Silas causing her to then adorably pout.
Before then giving the young prince a goodbye kiss after promising to return within the hour before then disappearing herself causing the young prince to then adorably pout leaving only Bradley, Scarlet, and Suna.
And the young prince before then finally arriving to The Celestial Garden before then surprisingly being greeted by Emilia surprising the young prince having remembered she has yet to return to her grown-up form.
Causing her to then adorably smile after noticing the young prince's expression before then being cut off causing the young prince to then immediately hug her.
"I-I miss Emilia! An-And Celie too!"
The young prince happily exclaimed before then quickly and adorably kiss Emilia's cheek surprising her and causing her to then both gently and adorably giggle.
"I've missed you too! It's just someone had to help watch over the girls with Celie while you were in the infirmary? Speaking of which.. I'd imagine everyone else would be happy to be finally reunited again!"
"I'd 'also' imagine that Aldra and Devyn would feel the same. Let's not keep them waiting!"
Emilia giggled causing everyone to then quickly nod causing the young prince to then happily kiss Emilia's cheek once more causing Emilia to then playfully flick his ear.
All the while causing him to then happily hug her to the fullest extent causing Emilia to then adorably shake her head before then receiving a mental message herself.
"I'm going to go help Kethryllia and Sura! Don't worry I'll be back soon! Oh and Bradley.. Aldra and Devyn are likely planning something so if I was you.. take responsibility!"
Emilia explained before then reassuringly kissing the young prince's forehead causing her to then quickly disappear all the while causing Bradley to then quickly feel a chill down his spine causing Suna to then playfully smile.
All the while the young prince adorably pouted the most righteous pout as all men should! Before then quickly being silenced by Scarlet causing her to then happily hug the young prince like a teddy bear.
Causing the young prince's pout to then quickly cease, after the incredibly short pouting session all four had soon arrived to The Celestial Garden.
Causing the young prince to then adorably whisper into both Scarlet's and Suna's ears surprising both.
Causing Scarlet to then curiously nod and Suna to then playfully smile before then adorably nodding as well surprising Bradley causing the young prince to then adorably whisper into Bradley's ear surprising him even more.
Before then hesitantly nodding, after both Suna and Scarlet had 'reluctantly' left in the hopes of surprising Aldra and the others the young prince had soon led Bradley to his secret Celestial Garden.
After going through the invisible barrier Bradley couldn't help but freeze after noticing the strange plants radiating some form of energy before then calming down causing the young prince to then adorably sit on a small hill.
Before then patting the soft grass next to him causing Bradley to then helplessly smile before then taking a seat himself.
Causing the young prince to then adorably lay his head on his lap all the while causing Bradley to then gently smile.
"Dadd-Daddy.."
The young prince curiously asked.
"What is it, Aurel?"
Bradley curiously asked causing the young prince to then adorably look up to Bradley with an adorably worried expression.
"Dadd-Daddy.. I-I'm still scared.."
The young prince tearily confessed.
Surprising Bradley causing him to then playfully shake his head.
"Of what Aurel? Is it related to the girls? If so.. me too-"
Bradley helplessly teased causing the young prince to then tearily hug Bradley.
Before then recapping everything much like he had done with both Hanah and Selphie however excluding some things.. and replacing them with normal scenarios surprising Bradley causing him to then helplessly nod.
"That's.. a lot to take in.. I'd imagine the gods will handle the 'godly' matters.. if not I can only prepare so much.. and as for 'Malik' as long as he hasn't become a 'god' he will be easy to handle, 'unfinished' Sky Castle or not.. and a Dark Age supposedly worse then the last?"
"A small trial from the gods perhaps? It can only affect us so much until we decide to shorten it ourselves.. but onto other things?"
"I'm proud that you've managed to help this 'Hanah', you're both a very patient and kind child.. what father wouldn't be proud of having a son with such a kind heart?"
Bradley warmly asked causing the young prince to then tearily hug him even tighter, causing Bradley to then gently play with the young prince's hair even more.
"I can't tell you how proud you've made me Aurel.. however out of all of this I'd imagine you're more afraid about the idea of one day having to make a choice? I can't help but think of my own situation.."
"I was far too busy enjoying myself in my youth rather than thinking of the 'bigger' picture. Love was a mystery to me back then.. I couldn't just dive into it like one of my ancient ruins.. If only it was that easy?"
Bradley honestly confessed causing the young prince to then adorably nod.
"D-Do you still love mommies?"
The young prince worriedly asked surprising Bradley causing him to then helplessly nod.
"I do.. Devyn, Suna, and your mother.. in truth your mother was always my end game?"
"The other two were simply forbidden fruits that I gave a piece of my heart to however I ignored the obvious consequences to my actions believing future Bradley would be mature enough to resolve it one day.."
"Bu-But enough about me! From what I heard and 'seen' it seems you'll be put into a similar predicament.. Noel, Rory, Stella, Iris, and even Elisabet.. not to mention the 'possibility' of others?"
"I do not envy you.. no matter how possible it 'may' seem it'll always be a difficult path to follow.. let's hope you don't have my 'adventuring' spirit among 'other' things?"
Bradley helplessly explained before then playfully tickling the young prince causing him to then adorably giggle before then pouncing on Bradley's chest causing Bradley to then laugh.
"You're far too young for 'that' talk so I'll leave it here! Along with some fatherly advice.. Aurel your choices are your own, there's no room for regret so you should have none! You're a Celestial Prince and my son!"
"No matter the hardships, especially hardships involving the matter of 'love' you can get through them! Never give up on 'them' or yourself! You need only have faith and a lis-nevermind the last part.. actually forget it!"
"Lists are important even 'if' there's a chance they might bite you in the butt in the future.."
Bradley righteously reassured causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod causing Bradley to then helplessly remember something before then quickly pulling out both a scroll and quill.
"How about 'some' practice?"
Bradley curiously teased causing the young prince to then excitedly nod before then writing a list of everyone he'd already kissed.
Causing the unknowing Bradley to then gently smile before then laying back and looking up to the slightly cloudy sky.
After the young prince had finished his 'kiss' list Bradley couldn't help but freeze before then noticing three different categories one of which he assumed was kisses on the cheek, the other lips, and final one being other kisses.
Causing Bradley to then hesitantly nod before then finally reading the names surprising him even more.
"Lady Lilith was your first but since it was in your 'dreamworld' it doesn't count? So Rory was actually your first? Then there's Lady Sylvia and Hanah. I'm afraid I've never heard of that Goddess no offense to her of course!"
"And followed by Selphie?! Aurel, it seems you've inherited more from me than I thought! Followed that by Lady Celestia?! I thought she only liked gir-nevermind that!"
Bradley playfully confessed causing the young prince to then adorably look to him with an adorably confused expression all the while causing Bradley to then helplessly shake his head.
"Followed by Stella, Noel, Octavia, Iris, Elisabet.. oh and Emilia, and Kethryllia too? So many and the riskiest ones at that! I can't help but feel jealous! And onto the last two! Aldra and Lady Satela?"
"You were always a mommy's boy and Aldra is 'Aldra' so I can't blame you but Lady Satela? Didn't you say 'she' wanted to start the new Dark Age? It seems you've also inherited some of my 'tastes'.. 'bad' girls are quite.. unique"
Bradley proudly coughed causing the young prince to then adorably blush and Bradley to then playfully ruffle his hair.
"In truth other than when you were a baby.. I don't believe we've ever been alone together. Aldra's far too protective.. I'm afraid both me and Silas are to blame for that.. despite this, I believe she's right.. at least to an extent?"
"If she allowed me and Silas to take you along with 'our' antics I'm afraid you'd pick up on 'our' bad habits and may also encounter 'dangerous' women.. and girls.. which are even more worriso-"
Bradley explained before then being cut off causing the young prince to then happily smile.
Before then whispering into his ear surprising him causing him to then helplessly feel a chill down his spine.
"Au-Aurel.. I-I'll see what I can do.. but both The Ophidian and Draconian Empires are.. 'difficult' to deal.. 'partly' because of me and Silas.. and Colin being Colin maybe?"
"N-No matter.. I'll only promise that I'll at least 'try' my best to convince your mother? However, I'll need to find a proper reason.. speaking of which why would you even want to visit thos-"
Bradley surprisingly asked before then being cut off causing the young prince to then adorably blush before then quickly looking away surprising Bradley and causing him to then freeze.
"Au-Aurel.. don't tell me you wish to follow in my footsteps?"
Bradley worriedly asked causing the young prince to then adorably pout.
Before then adorably whispering into Bradley's ear once more causing him to then playfully shake his head before then picking up the young prince and helplessly hugging him.
