"Aurel.. you needn't remind me about how much you love the others.. and you shouldn't feel like your betraying them or dismissing them in any way by wanting to see both entirely new cultures and the new faces that come along with them.."
"I shouldn't confuse my previous intentions in my youth to your own!"
"You're your own man! A man who 'may' have inherited 'some' of your more 'cultured' taste from your father.. I apologize in advance! Speaking of fathers.. I've never mentioned mine to you and the others before?"
"This is the best time of any I suppose? Where should I start.. right! His name was King Virum Lacerus Claret Vale.. telling by the name he was formerly a Prince of The Kingdom of Lacerus!"
Bradley playfully reassured surprising the young prince and causing Bradley to then playfully nod.
"I may have inherited some of my more cultured taste from him.. what you may not know yet is that The Kingdom of Lacerus is quite unique as in the former Kings and Queens had multiple and sometimes exotic 'mates'.."
"My father's mother was an Imperial Dragoness Princess.."
"I 'heard' it was a 'one' time thing and since he was a male she left him with his father.. she had no interest in raising children with an exception if it was a girl.. unbeknownst to her his royal bloodline was only 'slightly' deluded"
"Due to the simple fact that his father also had a deluded royal bloodline belonging to the Dragons from his mother.. so in essence, he 'was' still a Pureblooded Dragon and also a Prince belonging to The Draconic Empire.."
Bradley helplessly explained surprising the young prince causing Bradley to then gently run his fingers through the young prince's hair.
"From what I heard his mother couldn't care less and ignored this.. however, 'her' mother hadn't and kept tabs on him.."
"All the while my father resented his mother and refused to even visit The Draconian Empire.. my father was both strong and kind however he had to face the fact that his mother.."
"The same mother who he had inherited her looks.. strength and blood from had wanted nothing to do with him.. a man without a mother will always hurt in some way.."
"Fortunately, his father's other 'wives' some of who 'also' had deluded but nonroyal Dragon bloodlines decided to serve as proper replacements.."
Bradley gently explained surprising the young prince and causing Bradley to then hesitantly nod.
"Dragonesses Royals or not have always had strong maternal instincts and cared very much for their children so after it came out that his mother practically 'abandoned' him"
"Despite even more reason not to because of what he had inherited from her they were naturally disgusted by her behavior having seemingly abandoned her child.."
"However after his father had 'mysteriously' died after leaving the throne to one of my father's siblings the truth came out.. apparently it was the reason why his mother had done the things she had.. devastating my father.."
"Resulting in my father going to visit his mother and begging for forgiveness.."
"Not for his father but for himself having seen her in a fake light for so many years and wanted her in his life, surprisingly enough after such begging, gifting, and finally attempting to cripple his mana she broke.."
"Having the maternal instincts that she forcefully sealed away at a painful cost finally overwhelm her before then surprisingly giving him a few slaps and breaking down as well"
"I can't say what truly happened before though because you're still far too young to hear such things and you're a good boy so I needn't worry about such things coming from you.."
Bradley warmly explained causing the young prince to the adorably and righteous salute causing Bradley to then playfully shake his head.
"And just in case you were wondering my full name with titles is Celestial King Bradley Lacerus Claret Vale.."
"The same goes for both Annie, Amber, and Bradley so our subtitles would include Prince and Princesses of The Kingdom of Lacerus and The Draconian Empire.. that would also explain Amber's temper and Annie's maternal instincts.."
"The same would also apply to you and the others of course! However, seeing as I don't have any real connection to either.."
"Those titles are similar to something neat you may have inherited? I'll also let you in on a 'little' secret.. the reason 'why' I and Colin were able to sneak into both The Ophidian and Draconian Empires.."
"Were because both of us had inherited a similar title.. and when it finally comes to your coronation as a Celestial Prince your name will get even longer"
Bradley proudly teased surprising the young prince even more causing the young prince's eyes to then adorably sparkle with excitement.
Before then excitedly hugging Bradley causing Bradley to then playfully shake his head.
Before then hugging the young prince even tighter before then beginning a bonding session having finally been able to allow his surprisingly fragmented boy side to leak out.
Resulting in the young prince and Bradley talking about many things including the girls Bradley liked when he was in his youth along with some entertaining stories.
While the young prince did something similar where Bradley finally learned how the young prince learned to kiss.. and what the 'other' kisses meant.
Along with the fact that he had already added quite a few to that list causing Bradley to then proudly laugh much like Annie would have before then happily praising the young prince.
Causing the young prince to then quickly continue and talked about the girls he liked from the Debut and then forth in a manly manner as all men should!
After what felt like an hour both this and father-son bonding time both Bradley and the young prince returned to the others however only after picking flowers for Devyn, Octavia, Scarlet, Sura, Emilia, Celie, and Kethryllia.
And Suna.. causing Bradley to then helplessly ask if he could pick one for both them and Aldra as well.
Causing the young prince to then happily nod, after returning to a close proximity to where everyone had gathered the young prince pulled Bradley into a bush before then adorably looking through causing Bradley to then playfully shake his head.
Before then doing the same before then quickly noticing Molly, Mili, Mai, Elisabet, and Vivian playing alongside Octavia, Scarlet, Stella, Iris, and Rory all the while Aldra, Devyn, Annie, Suna, Marjorie, and Celie.
And Noel sat on the grass at a distance and watched all of this from the sidelines causing Noel to then adorably pout.

Causing the young prince to then adorably pout as well causing Bradley after noticing this to then playfully nod before then whispering into the young prince's ear causing the young prince's eyes to then excitedly sparkle.
Before then happily nodding, moments later both the young prince and Bradley had soon snuck behind the beautiful celestial bushes that were 'conveniently' behind all six causing the young prince to then accidentally trip on a root.
Before then adorably falling face-first out of a bush surprising all six after hearing the commotion causing the young prince to then tearily look to Aldra causing both her and Noel to then immediately rush to check on the young prince.
Causing Bradley to then do the same.
"Aurel you should be more carefu-"
Bradley worriedly warned before then being shut down by a glare from Aldra.
"Don't say another word.. Aurel are you alright?!"
Aldra asked in a gentle yet worried tone with a hint of a panicked tone causing the young prince to then tearily nod causing Aldra to then sigh with relief.
Before then quickly tending to the scratches on the young prince's face with an elegant white cloth covered in silver Elven patterns and coated with a low-level healing potion she had gotten from her space ring.
Causing the young prince to then adorably flinch causing Noel after noticing this to then adorably hold the young prince's hand causing Bradley to then quickly do the same.
After the scratches had quickly healed both Noel and Aldra gently wiped away the tears causing the young prince to then adorably become teary once more before then immediately hugging both.
"I-I missed mommy an-and Noel! An-And don't bully daddy.."
The tearily confessed causing both Aldra's and Noel's hearts to then melt before then hesitantly nodding at the Bradley bit.
"Aurel you shouldn't worry your mommy like tha-"
Aldra worriedly confessed before then being cut off causing the young prince to then adorably kiss her cheek surprising all three and causing the young prince to then adorably pout.
"Momm-Mommy sti-still owes kisses an-and cuddles!"
The young prince righteously pouted causing both Aldra and Noel having remembered her 'previous' promise.
Causing Aldra to then lovingly hug the young prince even tighter followed by Noel having had felt left out causing Bradley to then gently smile.
Before then whispering into both Aldra's and Noel's ears surprising both her and Noel once more causing both to then excitedly look to the young prince with adorably surprised expressions.
All the while both Bradley and Annie had quickly left to join the others and to check up on both Mili and Molly causing Annie to then playfully and quickly kiss the young prince's cheek before then following behind Bradley.
Causing Noel's eyes to then excitedly sparkle causing Aldra to then excitedly nod.
"I would've never 'Imagined' you'd wish to embrace your Elven Heritage so soon.. I'd be dishonest if I said such a thought didn't excite me to no end! You'll have my full support! My sweet prince"
Aldra lovingly confessed causing the young prince to then happily hug both even more causing Noel to then excitedly nod.
"M-Me too! You can even join my training sessions! Wh-While the others sleep in w-we can wake up early!"
Noel excitedly chimed in causing the young prince's eyes to then excitedly sparkle even more causing Aldra to then gently shake her head.
"You'll need to wake up early.. and I'd 'Imagine' Noel's a 'completely' different person when she trains, despite what you've seen of her she's actually quite serious when it comes to training so I'd also imagine she won't take it easy on you?"
Aldra playfully warned causing Noel to then both adorably and hesitantly smile causing the young prince to then adorably shake his head.
"I-I love Noel! No-Noel's strong! I-I want to b-be strong too! Fo-For momm-mommy! An-And Noel.. n-no matter what!"

Celie playfully teased before then remembering something else.
Causing her then to then quickly look off into the distance before then adorably pointing at two invisible figures.
"How are those two knuckleheads treating you? I pulled them off of their 'guard' duty to get them away from the tower and seeing as a tour and a conference is coming up we need as many 'invisible' eyes on you and the girls as possible!"
Celie adorably pointed out before then playfully tapping on the young prince's nose causing him to then adorably giggle before then hugging her even tighter.

Celie proudly confessed surprising both the young prince and everyone else causing Celie to then playfully nod.
