"Sir Vulpes please take her to the empty bed not five yards away from her?"
"As for the wine.. I suppose it was because 'she' would only take her much-needed medicine if it was grape flavored and since she didn't know what it, in fact, tasted like, I simply gave her medicine and mixed it with Chilled Grape Wine? She was truly fortunate you sent her my way.. unlike me she had mere ten weeks to live?"
"Unfortunately despite being able to cure her quite easily that was at most because she unlike myself was a Low-Level High Mage and didn't in fact have a name which was miraculous enough I suppose knowing the potential flags?"
Vinia gently explained surprising both while Vulpes took off the priestess's boots, veil, and tucked her in causing Vinia to then curiously nod.
Before then finally placing both of Vania's discarded eyes into her own while strangely absorbing her old ones through that of her palm causing her to then continue.
"Thankfully for me I've.. experimented with the discarded limbs The True Queen of Senex had left behind in those many battles and incorporated them within myself?"
"Allowing the still very much active blood now runs through me in case you were wondering why all of the specimens had disappeared? I have already replaced my blood with her own, now I'll need you to read the equipment and tell me what it says?"
Vinia gently asked having had removed her armor boots and rolled up her sleeves beforehand revealing that of a beautiful black robe.
Causing the young prince to then adorably nod before then walking over to the strange throne where she was sitting.
And looking at the black crystal screens and instruments causing him after several moments of figuring it out to then adorably nod and Vinia to then frown.
"Please don't stutter or mispronounce what you're seeing please.. I need clear and decise feedback"
Vinia gently warned surprising the young prince before then adorably sighing.
"Error.. subject matches that of the test subject that had yet to arrive? Warning, the subject has replicated ninety percent of the bloodline of The Queen of Senex? Suggestion, neutralize the subject if need be, we'll be able to start over again? Original Mission? Subject has to be between that of ten to seventy percent to produce proper results?"
"Project Senex? Converting that of an unholy and godless being by using the recently discovered relic and replacing the power source with that of its purified counterpart using that of light? Relic name, The Throne of The Queen of Senex? Warning only one purified specimen has been documented and is currently infused in the throne, reminder?"
"Unable to replace if used? Previous warning? System lockdown has been lifted, authorized by holy princess Aurela? System reminder, twenty thousand failed attempts of accessing the terminal by blight-infected personnel had all failed until the arrival of Holy Princess Aurela? Error?"
The young prince adorably read realizing she needed him to access it in the first place? But what bothered him the most is to the reason 'why' the research incarnation insisted on calling him Holy Princess Aurela?
Be it from Empress Emilia to every little thing until now? He simply didn't know the connections between them!
Not to mention the last error had indicated the previous highest ranking individual who had accessed it and held a rank even higher than his had erased her involvement?
His gut feeling tells him there is a connection but he just doesn't know what?
Causing Vinia having put two and two together and decided to keep it to herself to then curiously decide on what to do next? After the realization, there was simply no reason to attempt it?
Even if they had abandoned it by the end and no longer needed it that doesn't mean it wouldn't help her? Why waste it? Causing Vinia to then gently nod and without any explanation looked to the young prince.
"Activate it now.. please"
Vinia gently demanded causing the young prince to then adorably nod before then doing just that.
Causing him to then immediately be blinded by an impossibly pure white light blinding everyone and surging into Vanai causing her after trying her best to contain her screams.
To then immediately lose her vocal cords or perhaps simply doing it herself in the effort of preventing such embarrassment until finally, the light itself turned into snow?!
None of which made any sense whatsoever! Confusing everyone after seeing such a sight?
Soon enough however everyone looked where Vania still sat.. the black throne, her robes, and everything else had turned impossibly white!
Causing Jade to then prepare to open her mouth having never seen anything like it before then immediately being cut off by the familiar voice.
"Quite a sight isn't it? I'm not sure any real explanation would truly help, but I'll try my best to translate it into what you may find the most familiar?"
"What you saw was a soul baptism on the grandest scale, it cleanses you in any matter of ways but I don't believe I've seen one so spectator since your birth?"
"The sight was truly precious indeed, however, I'm afraid I shouldn't say more. You'll understand more in due time even if others wish to keep it from you. In the end, it's not truly their choice to make?"
The mysterious ethereal voice gently explained surprising the young prince and causing Jade having also heard it to then playfully pause.
"Anyways with that obvious foreshadowing aside? I believe my bestie-no! Why doesn't that voice just tell us?! Why appear at all and riddle us with only that?! Yes, you may have told my bestie what it was but you barely said anything at all!"
"You're worse than that bunny I swear! My bestie should always know that it'll always be your choice Bestie! If some voice that isn't mine and isn't a mental message barges in, ignore it and create your own choice! Don't like the paths provided?"
"Then I'll help my bestie make another! I'll always come to my bestie's aid! Now 'that' that's out of my system.. I have no idea what I'm looking at so be careful bestie!"
Jade worriedly ranted causing the young prince to then adorably nod having loved Jade's take and the fact that she had the ability to 'also' listen in! Did that voice know? And if it didn't what if she interrupts him next time?
Causing both Jade and the young prince after attempting to contain their laughter then finally calm down and the young prince to then worriedly nod and walking up to the throne to check to see if Vania was ok?
Unfortunately, he was soon cut off causing Vania shortly after opening her eyes to then silently look to the young prince.
"I've learned what I've wanted sister, I truly thank you for allowing me an opportunity however I'm afraid I can't speak on the matter or any related matter for some time.."
"Both my body and brain need time to both recover and absorb such.. gibberish perhaps? As for what isn't, I'm afraid I simply can't for a similar reason?"
"However I believe I've decided on her name. The recovering failure of a Priestess I believe? Lady Vailan perhaps? From my studies having a name is indeed important. Thinking of which I believe she'll recover her immortal lifespan soon, as I already have it seems?"
Vinia gently explained causing the young prince having surprisingly expected that much to then adorably nod before then happily nodding once more at the name. It suited her!
All the while unfortunately despite seeming quite normal at the moment Vinia had in fact had a massive cramp meaning moving at the moment wasn't ideal?
Causing the young prince having realized this to then adorably nod and take a seat on the ground in front of her.
"Does Vinia's soul hurt?"
The young adorably asked causing Vinia to then surprisingly nod having not truly expected any real confirmation albeit not so soon.
"Yes, it was as if I had prematurely shed my skin leaving me in a painfully vulnerable state, alongside with that unnamed inheritance I won't speak of in any meaningful worth, I believe me becoming a High-Level Legendary Powerhouse was also quite a boon?"
"Coupled with that of my experience and how suppressed my mana was previously I believe it was already passed due. As for these cramps.. an unintentional side effect perhaps? Or perhaps something even worse.. the unsuppressing of my menstrual cycle to a certain degree?"
"And it also appears I've unintentionally inherited memories belonging to that of The Queen of Senex? Her complete bloodline is quite overwhelming, so much so that it had incorporated or perhaps even absorbed that of The Blight Queen's as well?"
Vina painfully confessed surprising the young prince before then immediately continuing.
"I no longer sense either or rather there's simply only one with many bloodlines gathered by myself and her.. and it seems the switch from the previously unknown element to that of an entirely new and 'holy' one allows me quite a few benefits?
"One being the ability to absolutely counter The Queen of Senex in many aspects and even ways to permanently 'defeat' her strangely enough?"
"Neither of which are particularly valuable at the moment? I have no reason to do any of those things to begin with. Neither do I have the wish to, so I suppose if it was I rather than my disposed predecessors I'd be more willing to do quite the opposite?"
"Unfortunately their plans had failed, resulting in many including their 'bravest' legions being ultimately slaughtered. I find it quite strange that I'd be able to have such a memory. So I'll leave that to you as a gift.. I'd imagine it's already public knowledge, so take that as you may.."
Vinia gently groaned having wanted to feed him as many useless bits to distract him and perhaps even prevent him from asking anything else causing the Aurea part of the young prince to then sigh and the young prince to then adorably nod.
Before then adorably pulling out an advanced healing potion to either heal or stop the cramps causing Vinia to then silently stare at her body causing the young prince to then adorably nod before then pouring it down her throat.
All the while causing her after several moments of relief to then gently sigh and slowly walked towards the bed nearest to Vailan's with the help of the young prince resulting in her being tucked in to then gently nod.
"I believe It should take a few days to both absorb this knowledge and recover from such a unique experience? If I remember correctly?"
"You mentioned something in the lines of a two-week-long survival course? I'll ensure Lady Vailan's training and education while you're away.. thinking of which it's almost morning? You shouldn't be late sister, stay safe, and please stay away from poison berries"
Vinia gently reminded causing the young prince to then adorably pull out eight High-Level Healing Potions nicknamed second life? In truth, he simply didn't remember the names of those potions!
All the while after ensuring both were comfortable both him and Vulpes had soon left after closing the doors?
After what felt like an hour had passed at the entrance of the temple it had soon unsealed causing Ladies Gospel, Void, Dolly, Sephy, and Selphie to wish them a safe trip!
Causing the young prince after taking a few steps forward to then adorably turn back and hug Selphie causing her to then adorably become teary.
"Please stay safe my celestial teddy.. no matter what I'll always be proud of my Aurel!"
Selphie tearily whispered causing the young prince to then gently wipe away her tears and adorably salute, causing everyone to then smile.
After finally leaving the temple both had to survive the first three days in an unrelenting desert followed by even fiercer sandstorms and unconquerable heat!
Meaning it appeared they had simply started off with what both believed to be the worst start?
However, Vulpes having trained in all environments in both the mage legions and as an Imperial Prince tried his utmost best to guide the young prince be it from to shelter?
Killing massive camouflaged golden serpents, golden scorpions, golden serpent-like geckos, and flame salamanders?
All of who were close to reaching that of Legendary Magic Beasts! Resulting in both stockpiling both their meat, crystals, and materials be it bone or simply entire corpses to save for later?
However Vulpes despite believing the young prince could survive and even kill some of these magic beasts had chosen to then teach him how to avoid them and gather water, vegetation.
And everything else he needed if he were to survive alone which he'd be forced to in a week's time!
