"Ignore that Void Brat! I know momm-mother Kassandra.. I 'am' still her granddaughter after all? Where do you think I got my anger from!"
"I only suppressed so I wouldn't be a menace, not so much now though? Bu-But this.. It's beyond frustrating! It'll be even more frustrating if you leave it unfinished!"
Hanah angrily advised causing the young prince to then lovingly hug Hanah.
"I.. I like Hanah when Hanah's angry.."
The young prince shyly whispered surprising Hanah causing her to then angrily blush before then flicking his forehead causing the young prince to then adorably giggle.
After both the adorable antics and Keres uneventful return to their side, the cores themselves had finally begun to crack causing the young prince to then finally remove the time barrier and wait for the climax!
Unfortunately, the cores themselves had decided despite such a climatic showing they'd simply go inert causing everyone to then pause.
Causing Keres having actually wanted to see the outcome to then slowly walk towards both cores before then grabbing the two now empty bottles.
All the while waiting several more moments as if giving them the chance to do 'anything' before then simply smashing both individual bottles over each core causing it to then ultimately explode in a bloody mist.
Causing Keres to quickly disappear and reappear by Hanah's side causing Hanah to then surprisingly nod with approval and the young prince to then worriedly look to the still bloody mist hoping Keres hadn't 'accidentally' killed the two shameless cores.
Causing the young prince to then adorably wrap Hanah's arms around him causing her to then gently pinch his cheeks before then angrily nodding.
After what felt like ten minutes had passed the young prince had simply decided to place both veils of mist into two separate and sealed away bedrooms rooms with bathrooms.
Kitchens and so forth having realized he had rushed them and they were most likely incomplete or if that wasn't the case perhaps they simply didn't have anything to say?
Causing the young prince having felt exhausted from the whole experience to then adorably conjure up another bed as not to disturb the still sleeping Octavia and Elyris.
Causing him to carefully take off his boots before then climbing into bed followed by both Hanah and Keres.
Leaving only a very tipsy Lily and a cold Starla who was still currently sitting on her throne causing Lily to then curiously smile.
"Ever thought of becoming a Demon? You'd still be a Void Elemental Flame Dragon but a 'Demonic' Void Elemental Flame Dragon! You're a Matriarch!"
"Even if you're so pathetically weak it's the least I can do! And it 'would' no doubt surprise our Aurel? I have an experimental royal bloodline simply waiting to be used"
Lily seriously teased before then knowingly placing a sound barrier around the young prince's bed causing Starla to then immediately explode in Void Flames.
Before then slowly standing up and walking directly towards Lily causing Lily to then playfully smile before then placing her bottle on the floor.
And disappearing in but a moment, however within that moment the surprisingly frustrated Lily had so ruthlessly torn Starla to pieces while still keeping her charred body 'mostly' intact.
Leaving her both defeated and dying having had her armor turned to dust and her flames so utterly extinguished.
And all of this was done by Lady Lilith.. despite her being impossibly tame around the young prince and those she had in fact tolerated or liked.
She was still in fact both a 'Demon' God and 'The' Goddess of The Endless Abyss merely calling her the first would simply delude it all.
So when she's insulted she wouldn't even require her unsuppressed form to massacre The Aspect Council in its entirely.
And any Demigod or Bronze God foolishly got in her way, even Silas despite being on another league entirely thought she was incredibly troublesome if 'truly' provoked.
The only real reassurance was the fact she didn't take it seriously and only ever truly focused on The Endless Abyss which was in fact her own world.
Meaning dealing with a Void Dragon Elemental Matriarch so insignificant required quite literally no effort.
Causing Starla having not known who she set herself against to no doubt be humbled to death's door to then look to the night sky while everything became blurry.
Causing Lily to then playfully poke where Starla's chestplate used to be before then playfully sighing.
The only real reason she was barely alive in the first place and not ash was the simple fact that Starla was in fact Aurel's and Lily was 'not' going to deal with a single pout today!
Causing her to then look down into the charred feminine face.
"I give you a minute-no thirty seconds.. wow should have made it a minute? You shouldn't have provoked me you know? But let's get back to my offer.."
Lily seriously teased before then realizing Starla was quite literally about to die in mere moments causing Lily to then helplessly smile before then both freezing time and unsuppressing herself.
"Reminder.. that was more like twenty seconds? No one will ever know anyways?"
Lily playfully sighed causing her to then look at her experimental template before then surprisingly smiling, the template itself was indeed quite terrifying?
It was a fusion of a Demon Lord, Abyssal Lord, Elemental Lord, and a Void Lord, however, The Elemental Lord bit was only added recently and was practically her own copy of the young prince's own Bright Elemental Lord template.
All the while after what felt like several hours had passed Starla had soon woken up in a new body entirely and on a newly conjured up bed no less?
She now looked several years younger than Annie surprising her to no end having now felt what it means to have skin, strange senses, and a mortal body in general.
Starla still wore her ominous black armor and boots made from a fusion of colorful obsidian and sparklingly black runic scales albeit now she had matching female 'necessities', attire, and so forth now that she wasn't literal black flames that would've burned such things.
All of which complimented her sparklingly obsidian black hair, glowing snow-like skin, delicately mature yet modest features, and eyes that looked to be a fusion of sparkling obsidian, Void Black, and a mixture of Demonic Purple and Abyssal Violet.
Which in itself was uniquely beautiful and quite a terrifying sight due to it also being seen as a mixture of eyes belonging to such terrifying beings that should 'really' not exist if not for Lily not caring and experimenting with things that she shouldn't.
Causing Lily to then hover above her twirling what looked to be Starla's new crown causing Starla to then curiously ignore her before then feeling herself.
Be it her stomach, arms, and her face before then being cut off by Lily blowing on her face causing Starla to then instinctually slap her causing both to then immediately freeze especially Starla having felt like she already died once!
All the while Lily having successfully implemented the template to then playfully sigh having felt quite forgiving causing her to then 'instead' simply pin Starla to the bed.
"Creating another you isn't an option at the moment and simply 'punishing' you again knowing how weak you truly are would only add to 'another' near-death experience.."
"With 'that' in mind, you're still Aurel's 'Elemental'.. so at the very least I gave you that 'lazy' blessing to switch in between your 'current' bloodlines allowing you to even return to that flaming 'mess' or whatever you choose to call it?
Lily playfully lamented before then tossing her a bottle causing Starla to then frown.
Despite now having an actual face her reactions had changed very little and were still currently stuck in between being a mixture of disgusted, bored, cold, utterly honest, and disappointment if anything?
Which in fact her 'natural' state and what made her quite terrifying.
She was now a terrifyingly cold beauty who'd show very little else no matter what she truly felt, however, it was even worse for her personality due to the simple fact it remained unchanged.
Causing Starla to then indifferently smell the bloodline itself before then frowning once more and drinking it causing her to then drink the entire bottle in one sitting before then coldly looking at the surprised Lily as if it was but a simple chore.
Causing Lily having made sure to triple the dose of Klarine's 'special' venom since it was her own 'preference' to then surprisingly freeze having not expected Starla to in fact chug it! It's bloodwine! Not normal wine, ale, or beer but bloodwine!
It wasn't something someone could simply chug! At most, she had assumed Starla would've simply taken a curious sip or maybe even a modest glass? But she had never once thought she'd simply gulp down the entire bottle and in such a refined and elegant way no less!
Causing Lily to then knowingly sigh before then surrounding the bed in a soundless 'privacy' barrier as to prevent anyone from both hearing or seeing what 'might' come next as a result of such 'careless' actions causing Starla to now suddenly feel the full brunt of such strange effects.
Causing her to then coldly look to Lily in utter disgust having discovered the extremely 'potent' aphrodisiac before then flushing it through her system essentially pouring the venom itself back into the bottle through her mouth.
After finishing disposing of such a vile liquid into the bottle and handing it to Lily, Starla had soon joined her sisters within the young prince's elemental storage ring causing Lily to then move beds and join the young prince having had very little else to do.
All the while back with the young prince after falling asleep he had happily decided to visit Jade's room rather than simply dreaming as he usually would have?
Causing him having wanted to talk to her again to then adorably pop up before then adorably pouncing on Jade and kissing her cheeks repeatedly causing her to then immediately giggle before then simply laughing her heart out.
After the adorable antics had ended the young prince was now adorably brushing Jade's hair causing Jade to then teasingly poke his cheek.
"Another minute and I'll brush yours? But putting that aside.. I'm curious! During all of this time that I've watched you you've never opened up like this! You barely did it with Iva but I suppose she's more like a sister with the title of forever partner? Could it be because I look older?!"
"You're eight now but even then you're more like a six-year-old like Stella and Iva? Oh and Molly too! Rory and Elisabet should be around ten, while Noel, Octavia, Scarlet, and the others are around thirteen maybe fourteen?
"And Selphie herself looks more like she's either that or fifteen like Hanah? But for me, I can only guess I look slightly older if not sixteen? Wait.. could that be it?!"
Jade surprisingly speculated causing the young prince to then adorably blush all the while being strangely confused not knowing what she was truly talking about causing him to then adorably brainstorm before then nodding.
"Iva saw everything.. and she's like a Platinum God? But Jade's different? Jade isn't a baby who sees everything? Jade only saw things after Aurel removed the bloodline curse and saved Lily?"
"But those things are really important to Aurel because Jade experienced it with me.. Jade was with Aurel when Aurel cried and when I didn't want to be alone.. Jade was always there? And Jade is my best friend!"
"Jade isn't like sisters, mommies, and forever partners! It's new to Aurel an-and Aurel loves it! I-I want to be treated like best friend.. I-I want sisters to be sisters even if sisters want to marry Aurel.."
The young prince surprisingly confessed causing Jade to then nod before then brushing his hair now that it was her turn and curiously brainstorming herself.
"Have you tried telling them this yourself? I would do so in your place but unfortunately, no one else should know I'm 'still' alive.. no matter what you call him be it bunny, Silas, or Lord Silvanus? He was still the one who ultimately decided the fates of the proud demon races.."
"If he knew I 'faked' my death I fear he'd simply extract me from you and finish the job.. I saw him murder my greater race with my own eyes.. the envoys I sent to the Elves, High Elves, and Sea Elves were among the only survivors while those sent to The Dark Elves were eradicated.."
"Things could've changed and perhaps there was a proper reason to commit such things that I simply can't understand? But I can't risk revealing myself or even 'attempting' to communicate with the handful of surviving Jade Demons to relay this message.. I'm sorry-"
Jade surprisingly apologized before then immediately being cut off causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod.
