"As well as an Ophidian Imperial Princess? Despite reality, I believe I'm still one? Unfortunately, if I had unsuppressed myself completely 'as' Aurea I may appear quite foreign from who Aurel truly is.. It's quite exhausting?"
"Like mother Klarine would say? If I truly wanted to, I could become quite 'tasty' if I really wanted to? As would any real Serpentess really? Truthfully I suppose I'm simply annoyed that I'm unable to be myself even if I'm still Aurel?"
Aurea lamented before then hugging her knees surprising all three!
Especially since they could clearly see the differences between Aurea's behavior now rather than that of Klarine when she didn't have such perverted thoughts which in itself was even scarier!
But behind that Aurea was a prodigy, an impressive fledging artisan, a gorgeous yet scary Imperial Princess who absorbed everything from Klarine and made it her own albeit she was more like a much younger mini Klarine but that alone was more than impressive?
And seeing how Aurea is now revealing the painful reluctance to hide it all?
Causing both Lily and Aurora to then momentary pause having realized it wasn't as simple as reassuring him with words..
All the while Selphie having seen this several times before and even experienced the same to then reassuringly hug her celestial teddy bear!
Surprising him and even causing Selphie to then surprisingly become teary, surprising Aurea even more before then immediately being cut off.
"When my celestial teddy bear needed guidance we faltered, everyone promised not to pamper and spoil our celestial teddy bears?"
"And yet we did just that! Not only have we ignored our own rules but we didn't even try to guide or even attempt to stop our celestial teddy bear from falling into these accidents! I refuse to allow this to go further! All of us, including even Celes have become complacent!"
"My celestial teddy bear shouldn't have received an inheritance when he's still a baby! Babies shouldn't be getting into so many accidents! I don't blame Aurea or Klarine but we need a line! Without stability, rules, and restraint there will never be a balance-"
Selphie worriedly warned with an adorably worried yet strangely gentle expression surprising everyone including the now awake Sylvia before then finally being cut off herself causing Aurea to then both surprisingly nod in agreement.
"I'd be willing to abide by any means if it ensures balance, I despite my advances always advocated the balance, mother Klarine guided me and had explained to me its importance, however as Aurel I was allowed to do what I pleased for the most part?"
"He was stuck unknowingly between mortality and the divine, he didn't ask for so many bloodlines, as Aurea I only needed 'one' to reach where I was at fourteen!"
"So I propose forcing those bloodlines who weren't within Aurel at the time of his birth into a passive or even dormant like states? The cores of those that were, would of course be the exceptions?"
Aurea suggested surprising all four and causing Selphie to then adorably nod having felt proud of her celestial teddy bear's initiative! All the while causing Lily to then playfully shake her head.
"I'll agree if you make my demon bloodline one of those exceptions? My Iris would be heartbroken if she won't be able to see it again!"
Lily playfully joked causing Aurea to then happily nod having wanted to show the others Aurea as well along with the fact that only Iris can see his demon bloodline because of their promise!
Causing Aurora having wanted to find a loophole to then curiously nod.
"Just an idea but why don't we leave them dormant 'until' he meets their requirements, qualifications, or whatever else?"
"A great example would be if my most favorite Holy Prince meets my The Queen of Bronze? Or perhaps visit my temple or maybe even both?"
Aurora curiously suggested causing Aurea to then playfully nod in agreement knowing how important her first greater race was?
And simply tossing it into the dormant category without any ways of getting it outside of such a category would no doubt only serve to frustrate her?
Causing Syvia after kissing Ayla's sleeping cheek to then adorably transfer the sleeping Ayla to Starla before then sneakily hugging both Selphie and Aurea.
"I agree with Aurora! However, this sort of instance isn't entirely new? Much like our Aurel had obtained Elfinia's blessing, I think it would be for the best if that was the same? As well as visiting their gods' temples? As for an added measure, I believe we should do the same for their ancestral forms as well?"
"The fact that our Aurel had miraculously managed to access The Celestial's Royal Ancestral Form before that of his Elven Counterpart was surprising to say the least?"
"However even if that wasn't the case it would no doubt still be incomplete without the blessing of The First Queen of The Celestials? The reason I haven't 'gifted' him either of my royal bloodlines is for a similar reason?"
Sylvia adorably suggested before then reassuringly kissing Aurea's cheek causing her to then naturally continue.
"Similarly to both Empress Klarine and Kassandra, both of my Ancestral Queens are still very much active, if not even more difficult? Living on both the sun and the moon had those effects it seems?"
"As you may or may not have already heard, both of my races are built on secrecy? The newly created Aurorans are similar in that regard albeit replaced by mystery?"
"Unfortunately history had once attempted to record their existence however so few know of them now and believe them as simply myths? Putting the much-needed foreshadowing aside, I believe the 'old' system of obtaining blessings and praying to your individual gods would no doubt still work fine even now?"
"Just pretend our Aurel is no different from any of our followers?"
"Of course, we all know that's not true because he'd be our saint in a heartbeat if that was the case? Thinking of which? Ayla and Mera have holy titles? And now Ayla is an Elf Princess I can't help but think Mera would no doubt make an amazing Elf?"
"From what I've seen she's quite similar to Aldra, Emilia, and even Lady Gemma? Being an Elf would no doubt be even more natural to her?"
Sylvia curiously added surprising all four and causing Aurea to then gently smile.
"I love Gemma.. she's really the best!"
Aurea warmly confessed causing Selphie to then adorably nod.
"Princess Gemma Elfa Vice Commander of The Imperial Elfin Guard, had retired from The Imperial Elfin Guard after several millennia?"
"She was the advisor to Kethryllia's mother and even Lord Commander of The Queen's Guard for another millennium? After Kethryllia was born she had also volunteered to lead Kethryllia's personal guard when she was a child?"
"And after another Millenia when Aldra was born she had soon volunteered as the same? Elf Queens typically stay on the throne as long as they wish so it isn't uncommon to see them stay queen for many millennia?"
"Gemma was also Elfinia's precious granddaughter after all! Of course, all her daughters and granddaughters were too! But Gemma had also given up the throne much like Aldra had done!"
"Gemma was only one among several of Aldra's Queen's Guards; she had snuck into your personal guard! So precious and an amazing mommy too!"
Selphie adorably confessed surprising everyone and causing Aurea to then playfully nod in agreement especially when his mommy is being praised! Be it Aurea or Aurel his mommy is the best mommy.
"I love mommy, and without a question, mommy is quite literally the best mommy! Moth-Mother Klarine was.. is an amazing mother, but mommy is different? I don't like calling mommy by her name so I only ever say mommy I-I suppose?"
"I also suppose Mother Klarine was rather the closest to mommy but Mommy Marjorie was still quite a bit ahead?"
"Mommy Marjorie is Mommy Marjorie after all? When Rory was sick and daddy was busy Mommy Marjorie and Elisabet were always there to take care of and even play with me even while I was a baby.. they're all simply irreplaceable!"
"And Selphie, Amber, Noel, Rory, and even Holly are the same? There's also mommy Emilia, Kethryllia, and Annie? I simply can't keep track? With that in mind?"
Aurea adorably explained causing all four to then smile and Aurea to then curiously pull out the young prince's or now her list? Causing Aurea having realized how long it truly was with age to then surprisingly laugh.
"There's just so many?! I love it! As Aurea, I suppose I may have forgotten all about this list! However, as I remember both Aurea and Aurel had two completely different tastes! Now let's see how they compare?"
Aurea excitedly laughed before then quickly crossing her legs surprising all four and resulting in Lily not so surprisingly nodding with approval.
Before then playfully squeezing into the mix resulting in a playful kiss from Aurea before then immediately returning to the list.
After happily looking through the list once more Aurea had finally finished before then playfully nodding.
"Crown Princess Blaire Maem Pikes? She became a full-blooded Serpentess not so long ago.. even if it was through big sister Satara only removing the tumor of her based human bloodline? Her mother could have had quite literally anyone to mate with and she chose a man easily controlled yet hilariously incompetent?"
"And a glorified tumor that not only ruined the reputation of The Kingdom of Pikes but made them hated if nothing else?"
"I suppose even if it was only her 'now' dead daddy and his family becoming pests I highly doubt she wasn't well aware of it, an Imperial Princess of Maem isn't someone so ridiculous, as for why the 'I' or 'rather' Aurea liked Blaire?"
"I suppose it was because of her hilariously planned outburst, her using Aurel to not only get rid of those 'bracelets' but to also retain her rights as Crown Princess and perhaps to even to go as far as to also convince Satara to remove two of her useless bloodlines?"
Aurea playfully pointed out surprising all four by the sudden change in the wording and Aurea's demeanor in general? All the while still being surprised that Aurea's first pick was Blaire of all people causing Aurea to then naturally continue.
"Blaire took advantage of the fact that Aurel knew so many gods, despite that I found it all quite charming? Mind you Aurel already knew this? In simpler terms he had simply ignored it all since after all he understood none of it like that 'Void Corrupted Nobody' that not only damned his entire bloodline but hilariously so?"
"You'd think someone would have left a note or even a warning to prevent such an instance where their crimes punishable by the execution of their family in its entirety were ever made known? Let alone that poor attempt at assassination on quite literally the poster boy of not only several races but their gods as well?"
"I blame everyone living in paradise, when you have everything you should ever want without any worries in the world it not only serves to dull your blade but your brain as well!"
"No wonder why the void corruption had a field day with that fool? He hadn't had a brain to begin with! Right, I suppose I shouldn't linger on these things? Especially Celes's Lesser Void plaything?"
"She's in the same category, she planned and corrupted him in the first place?"
Aurea playfully pointed out further especially the last bit? Aurel had a great distaste for The Vestial Empire, and he has a similar yet lessened distaste for the Void, however?
Despite Aurea and Aurel being the same person Aurea had different thoughts on both, despite being quite dismissive anything that happened to Aurel had happened also happened to Aurea meaning she wasn't as forgiving?
And would still want to know everything especially their mindsets and who was truly involved?
Aurea was an Ophidian Imperial Princess trained and taught by Klarine herself meaning she simply couldn't let it go as easily as the young prince would have?
Resulting in the young prince, of course, taking notes from this and relying on Aurea, even more, all the while all four now had a greater understanding of Aurea's personality having seen it firsthand itself rather than the memory crystal?
Causing Aurea after adorably leaning back into all three to then happily yawn before then remembering something.
"Other than those little bits, I suppose despite mother Klarine calling her 'tasteless' flower? I quite firmly believe in quite the opposite? Blaire was fairly close to my or rather Aurea's age? And to be plainly blunt, like mother Klarine would say Blaire is indeed a tasty treat-"
Aurea playfully mentioned before then quickly being cut off! And rightly so!
Causing both Sylvia and Selphie to then immediately blush and both Lily and Aurora to then not so surprisingly love it before then quite literally laughing their hearts out in sheer happiness!
