Before then being cut off causing Iva to then worriedly whisper into her ear surprising her causing Molly to then surprisingly shake her head.
Having not been completely reassured, however, only enough, having also had her own concerns and thoughts answered and even agreed with before then being cut off once more.
"Do-Don't worry I-I'm not trying to steal your rival and partner! An-And to be honest I-I want us to be friends.. I-I'll do anything to become friends with Molly! I-I promise! I.. I won't let you regret giving me a chance!"
"An-And.. I need someone to stop Au-Aurel from conjuring up more girls! I-I want what's best for him you know?"
"H-He needs to meet more amazing girls like you! I-I don't really have a place.. s-so I want to learn to be normal! I-I want a mommy too and sisters!"
Iva adorably whispered with an adorably reassuring yet yearning expression surprising both Molly and Annie causing Molly to then curiously nod.
Having felt and still felt the same especially since to her she still felt out of place and used her true daddy Theodore as an anchor.
While 'mommy' Annie felt more like a loving big sister than a true mommy.
However, despite this Annie still had mommy moments that Molly had always yearned for all the while Annie couldn't help but playful nod with an adorably proud expression.
After hearing such adorably rose-tipped flattery causing her to then immediately hug both Molly and Iva surprising both causing Iva to then adorably giggle before then being cut off.
"Hmph! I bet you say that to every mommy! Alas, it is too late for you Iva, you have activated my maternal instincts and they can't be ignored!"
Annie adorably teased before then both immediately and lovingly kissing both Iva's and Molly's cheeks repeatedly causing Amber to then adorably giggle before then kissing the young prince's cheek followed by Mera.
All the while Ayla sleepily laid back down on all three as if both adorably and shamelessly demanding the same causing the young prince to then adorably kiss both Mera's and Amber's cheeks twice.
Before then repeatedly kissing Ayla's causing her to then proudly smile before then surprisingly pouting surprising the young prince before then being cut off.
"Hm-Hmph! I-I still haven't forgiven you for that dummy dark elemental garbage! Bu-But at least it's not your an-and you didn't play with those Light Elemental Cores you so selfishly keep hidden!"
"Kee-Keeping those good snacks all to yourself and away from your best queen of light!"
Ayla shamelessly pouted having known about the young prince's Elemental core stockpile and that there were even three other Archmage-Ranked Elemental Light Cores just waiting to either replace her or become her snack!
Causing Mera to then gently giggle before then gently shaking her head.
"Ayla we've already discussed this, Aurel has already promised to either trade them or sell those three, I'd also imagine after this is all over you'd finally get that allowance and even some light essence brownies you've been craving?"
"However, I'm still unsure of the last bit.."
Mera gently reassured with a gently helpless expression causing Ayla having had forgotten all about that to then immediately calm down before then pouncing on the young prince surprising the young prince.
Before then being cut off causing Ayla to then both adorably and repeatedly kiss the young prince's cheek causing him to then adorably giggle before then being cut off once more causing the kisses to then adorably cease.
"Hm-Hmph! I-I forgive you b-but no trading for other light queens! And Dea-Death to darkness!"
Ayla shamelessly proclaimed causing the young prince to then adorably nod all the while Iva was now cuddling the somewhat stubborn Molly all the while also being cuddled by Annie herself causing Annie to then happily smile.
After the adorable antics, a delicious breakfast made by Mera, and a soothing hot bath it was now time to return to training despite there only now being two and a half weeks being left in total.
Resulting in the half of the week being used to soothe Iva into both magic lessons.
And Assassin's training along with all the previous academics both the young prince and Molly had learned along the way resulting in Iva to then happily learn it all and at a quick pace as if like the young prince.
However, without his own heavy restrictions, he had placed on himself to prevent himself from cheating resulting in Iva now being a Low-Level Grandmage.
And High-Level True Assassin before then realizing through the young prince she had gone a little too overboard with it.
And began implementing the same policy and even learning from the young prince's own example having realized the young prince was quite thorough.
And wanted to learn every little step of the way in its entirely fearing he may leave cracks in his foundation otherwise.
Causing Iva to then notice his focused state where despite being weighed down by his own policy his brain had strangely still worked in overdrive as runes flew beautifully as if also focused entirely on dancing strangely enough.
All the while still spending as much time as possible with the others causing Iva over this time to then happily admire the young prince and his unique ways of handling things.
Despite only being a child who despite being a god apparently dislikes doing godly acts in general.
At least if not in his dreamworld confusing Iva to then extent however, she had quickly understood that much like her previous thoughts she imagined the young prince would have a similar anti-cheating policy involving such acts.
Causing her to then happily admire him even more after noticing he had strictly respected balance for the most part.
After another week and a half had passed it was now onto the last three and a half days until the laboress five months of training finally concludes.
During the last week and a half, Iva had become a Mid-Level Grandmage while Molly despite working towards breaking through managed to catch up and became a High-Level Grand Mage.
However, as for everyone else, the young prince focuses on new magics such as elemental puppets you could conjure up such as rock puppets, stone puppets, sand puppets, and many others depending on the element!
As for their strengths unlike true elementals, they had to be ordered and they were quite literally dumb as rocks, they are preferably used as disposable scouts if your mage eyes were warded off and as cannon fodder.
However, through the young prince's experimenting, he had learned much like normal puppets, you could in fact use inscriptions, runes, and even give it a mana core to become autonomous.
Unfortunately, the young prince had learned such things from both Kaylan and Amber.
And had no actual idea how to write inscriptions, instill runes, or anything else for that matter meaning no way to either experiment further or implement these changes himself.
Unless he decided to become an alchemist of all things where inscriptions, and runes are it's quite promising sub-branches.
However, the young prince after realizing this tried to circumvent this after learning of Golems until realizing they were quite similar to elemental puppets.
However, their brutish cousins, because of this the young prince had decided to become an Alchemist to achieve such things!
Unfortunately, out of everyone, Kaylan preferred smithing and enchanting while Amber was only a rookie master involving rune smithing and even less with inscriptions.
All the while Annie surprisingly knew both as well, however, only slightly more than Amber.
Leaving only Mera who surprisingly had the most experience being equivalent to a Master Alchemist surprising everyone.
All the while Ayla chased poor Nox around throwing spears of light at her new body that the young prince had finally decided to make her.
After learning both her and Molly had actually gotten along, along with Nox truly pledging herself to Molly once more.
However, seriously this time causing Molly to take the young prince up on her offer and making a female body quite similar to Ayla's.
However, this time the same age as Molly and even merged with a part of Molly's own template making the duo even closer and Ayla even more annoyed.
Resulting in her chasing Nox quite often now causing Mera to then gently shake her head with a gently helpless expression.
"Those two.. I'd imagine Iva's watching Molly and Annie train about now? No matter, this should be a good stopping point until Amber returns with the other related books?"
Mera gently suggested causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod before then putting down his book that was equivalent to inscriptions for beginners.
Causing him to then sigh before then laying his head on Mera's lap causing her to then reassuringly play with his hair.
"It's not healthy to push yourself like this.. I'd imagine you're hoping to become an Alchemist quicker this way?"
"Especially now that there are only three days left, however, I must warn you.. an Alchemist Apprentice let alone one that dabbles in inscriptions isn't so easy to reach.."
"In truth, one must both know and remember how to inscribe over three of the most basic Magewreaths and around six inscriptions perfectly to be considered a true Alchemist Apprentice"
"And after both finishing and inscribing twelve basic Magewreaths and twenty-five inscriptions you'd no doubt meet the requirements and become a true Alchemist then.."
Mera gently explained surprising the young prince causing his tired rune filled eyes to then adorably sparkle causing Mera to then gently smile before then continuing.
"Of course this is only for those who choose to do both inscriptions and Magewreaths alone, an Alchemist has many sub-paths to choose from and not all Alchemists are the same"
"Inscriptioning is only one of them, the reason why both Amber and Annie are considered 'rookie' Master Alchemists is because they had specialized in several different paths and met their requirements?"
"And despite the difficulty, I'd imagine you could also do the same? Following both the requirements for an Alchemist on the 'path' of Magic Runes alone along with doing the same for inscriptions"
"Then you'd no doubt be considered a Junior or even a Senior Alchemist if you pass the Alchemist Level Requirements for each of those two on their own?"
Mera gently added surprising the young prince before then adorably counting his fingers having just learned to read the most basic inscriptions and even Magewreaths himself.
However, despite remembering a handful of Magewreaths and even a dozen of Inscriptions that didn't mean he had understood or dived into each on their own.
Causing the young prince to then frustratingly pout before then being cut off by Amber having had finally returned followed by Iva causing Iva to then happily take advantage.
And adorably lay on top of the young prince while still laying on both his chair and Mera's lap surprising him.
All the while causing both Mera and Amber to then adorably giggle and the young prince to then adorably pout.
Before then being cut off causing Iva to then adorably kiss his cheeks before then hopping back up and quickly reading through the young prince's book.
Causing her to then adorably nod before then transferring the majority of what had skimmed over in that inscription book and gifting the majority of contents to the young prince surprising him causing his heart to then quickly break.
Having wanted to learn it on his own before then adorably being cut off.
"I-It's not the answers so it's not cheating! M-My forever partner will still need to do stuff with that stuff bu-but now it's easier so you won't have to worry about wasting time reading anymore.."
"I-I promised to make you happy! S-So I-I wanted to throw away my forever partner's frustration.. wi-will you ever forgive me? I-I'm sorry if it made you sad-"
Iva adorably apologized with an adorably teary expression causing the young prince to then reassuringly shake his head.
Having understood both her intentions and thought process especially since the two were connected through both dreams and sometimes even feelings.
Something that was entirely new to him that he had also felt a glimpse of when Ada had given him the strange god form having had similarly felt both her feelings and even Adel's to an extent.
However, Adel was asleep the majority of the time as if hibernating herself so that previous connection to Ada was now quite weaker than before, however still there no less.
Causing the young prince then adorably kiss Iva's cheek repeatedly something he had picked up from her of all things.
