And even more so since she truly had no experience or knowledge to handle such an odd situation! She had committed so many sins to the point even Lady Selphine adorably scolded her but left it at that.
If she was to be ever forgiven it needed to be done by him.
Causing her after several moments to then gently nod.
"You are indeed right, your holiness, I will neither deny nor say otherwise.. injuring you or any child even if I wasn't in any proper control of myself simply isn't excusable, you need only tell me what to do or how to repay such sinful acts and I will do so?"
Laphine gently apologized causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod before then remembering something.. she was an experienced priestess and despite the trauma, she could still be an asset.
Causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod once more, however this time he was quite serious and was forced to enter his newest character causing him to then erect a soundless barrier which he had learned from Lady Frost surprisingly easily.
In truth, there was never truly anything Lady Frost couldn't easily explain resulting in him learning many minor spells such as this surprising both Laphine and Bona before then finally being cut off.
"I want Lady Laphine to become a priestess once more.. but not one of Selphine? I.. I can't speak like this for long, I want Lady Laphine to become a Priestess of Aurel.. The God of Light and The Light Elves? And Aurel and Aurel are different! I-I'm not a god.."
"I-If Lady Laphine agrees then Lady Laphine's mana will return and Priestess Laphine will connect The Elves and The Light Elves like Lady Selphine wanted? Priestesses of Aurel have no experience with races of Divinus.. and if Priestess Laphine becomes Priestess, Priestess Laphine will be given Light Elf Bloodline?"
The young prince softly explained hoping to keep the stuttering to the minimum all the while making sure his secret was safe since many little Elf girls were named after Selphie so it's not uncommon or even rare for others to have similar if not the same names of gods?
Surprising Laphine to no end having essentially been blindsided by the offer alone.
Causing her having seen this as an immediate way out and even a redemption to then gently nod causing the young prince to then seriously nod before then looking to the confused Bona.
Who in truth understood none of it! To put it simply she preferred to talk about meat and bread in a precious manner as all truly should! So to put it simply chances are she hadn't listened to anything unless it pertained to meat and bread.
Albeit she wasn't an idiot being a dragoness now and all, she also didn't care and was simply trying to learn to speak and so forth so aside from that if given enough time she would ask the young prince where her brothers were.
Causing the young prince having just explained one thing to Laphine but now worried about Bona to then hesitantly nod and Laphine to then gently nod having immediately accepted such a proposal and perhaps even faith.
Causing the young prince having received the confirmation through a mental message to then seriously nod.
Before then hesitantly looking to Bona causing her to then immediately look back resulting in another several moments of awkward silence.
Causing the young prince after removing the soundless barrier to then adorably become teary especially since he wasn't truly sure if she knew or not.
"Lady Bona.. I'm sorry.. I-I killed Lady Brona's Brothers-"
The young prince tearfully apologized before then all but immediately being cut off causing Lady Bona to then curiously crawl over with very little intent let alone anything else for that matter.
Before then roughly pinning him to the bed with the same confused expression scaring the young prince and causing Lady Bona to then place her face an inch away from his face as if she was about to bite his face off.
"We survived, they didn't, they were weak, weakness of any kind disgusts Bona, weak brothers even more so.. now do you like 'meat' or 'bread'.. nothing else matters"
Lady Bona softly mumbled surprising the young prince with the coldness yet also the oddness of it all?!
Was she serious or was she hungry?! The confusion alone scared him! Causing him to seriously frown.
"Both are good.. but even if they were weak neither deserved to die, Lady Bona, an-and if Lady Bona cares o-or not I'm sorry!"
"Weakness is ok bu-but you should never stay weak! Stay strong to protect mommies, sisters, daddies, besties, and forever partners.. nothing else matters, everyone deserves to be happy even if they stay weak!"
"An-And I regret killing Lady Bona's brothers.. I-I decide how I feel an-and who I want to protect.."
The young prince softly retorted having felt something deep inside him needed this to be said even if he still stuttered and sounded silly while saying it.
Causing Lady Bona whose expression hadn't changed to then surprisingly nod before then licking his face surprising everyone and causing her to then curiously smile.
"Meat and bread are good? But together with cheese is better.."
Lady Bona softly mumbled.
Before then curiously looking under the blanket and going underneath until finally she poked her head out of the blanket and laid it on his chest confusing him until finally, Lady Austine had returned with quite a few specialized potions.
Before then stumbling into the.. strange situation? Perhaps they had already made up and surprisingly well no less? Causing Lady Austine to then gently shake her head.
"You needn't worry, however, such potions may not bring instant relief but rather the opposite. These potions are quite powerful, however, they are also quite painful?"
"Your ribs may have been pushed back but neither they nor your burns or even spinal injuries are even partly healed, I'd imagine after the consumption of such potions they'll be forced back into place, healed, and made significantly stronger"
Lady Austine gently explained before then pulling out even more potions.
"This is because these potions are quite unique in that way being made from liquidized dragon bone"
"Medicated dragon blood similar to that of blood wine but very much stronger with its many other additions and so forth, meaning they would no doubt strengthen and refine such things be it your bones, skin, and even that of your blood?"
Lady Austine gently explained further having in truth chosen these potions because of their 'side' effects were the main factor in his healing.
Meaning despite the potions themselves not generally being used for injuries their side effects worked better to do so.
And were much stronger in fact that despite the pain it was both much faster, efficient, stronger, and came with several benefits?
And since Lady Austine was a practical Priestess then it was really a no-brainer? And perhaps because they surprisingly didn't have them or had 'simply' ran out of said potions due to a 'specific' Altar 'incident'.. coupled with that of time?
Causing her to then gently sigh and the young prince to then hesitantly nod before then drinking all three potions.
Causing him after several moments to then adorably become teary since apparently as soon as it hits your tongue it didn't care and would simply start working anyways!
Confusing the young prince especially after realizing the effects were immediate causing him to then tearily wait while his body was healed, refined, and so on with both the 'immense' pain and benefits that came along with it?
Causing Lady Bona to then curiously look to his painful expression before then biting her tongue and simply kissing the young prince surprising everyone and her to then slowly return as if she hadn't just ruined his concentration.
While the young prince now had an even more painful blush..
Causing Lady Austine to then gently sigh at such an act.
"Lady Bona, The Gift of The Bone Dragons despite offering the same effects will of course conflict and perhaps even worsen the pain until finally either the potions achieve their purpose or your 'gift' attempts to strengthen and refine such things even further.."
Lady Austine gently reprimanded causing Lady Bona to then ignore such a reprimanding and instead choose to simply fall asleep instead.
Causing Lady Laphine to then smile and Lady Austine to then gently sigh once more.
All the while after the painful processes were finally complete Lady Vina, Selphie, and Vulpes had finally arrived to the infirmary causing Selphie to then immediately race to the young prince and feeling his forehead causing her to then tearily sigh.
"I'm so sorry for being late, my precious celestial teddy bear! Had I known my celestial teddy bear would return earlier I would've greeted my celestial teddy bear myself!"
Selphie tearily apologized having missed her celestial teddy bear and couldn't bear watching him suffer along with the guilt of not being able to properly greet him away from such suffering while preparing the surprise meant to do exactly that.
Causing the young prince having been woken up to then adorably hug Selphie's arm.
"Bu-Bully.. but Aurel still loves Selphie! And.. I-I missed Selphie so much!"
The young prince tearily confessed causing Selphie to then adorably kiss his forehead before then immediately pausing.
"Wh-When did my celestial teddy bear meet Lady Frostma?"
Selphie adorably asked surprising the young prince and everyone else for that matter causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod.
"Lady Frostma taught Aurel so much! Sh-She's the best teacher! I-I love Lady Frostma!"
The young prince happily confessed causing Selphie to then adorably nod and Lady Vinny to then immediately get up.
Before then leaving however as she walked by the young prince's bed she had soon stopped before then surprisingly sending the young prince a mental message.
Having read his letter from before, however, right now she wanted to know where Lady Frostma was surprising him and causing him to then adorably send her Lady Frost's way.
After the adorable antics and several days of recovery, the young prince had soon been greeted by a surprise party!
And after making arrangements with Lady Frostma and Lady Vina had essentially allowed Lady Vina, her cocoons, while his servants aside from his puppets, who were to remain in his space rings?
And The Temple were to also be brought back to the old world.
While the others were to stay with Lady Frost who had surprisingly agreed knowing the sensitive nature of his gifted Mage Legion.
Cocoons, and everything else in general meaning she was responsible for the training of his gifted mage legion and the dragonesses.
And anyone who was truly willing to learn while as Lady Gospel, Void, and Vulpes remained there as well.
While a small detachment of now official priestesses of Selphine were to remain at the temple while as the secret facility itself was removed and attached to that of her palace?
Until a time she builds her own extension resulting in after such arrangements the young prince now training with Selphie to reach that of his goal to breakthrough to sword saint?
However, that wasn't all, Selphie intended to train him as she did Elfine meaning despite it being outdated, it was still immensely powerful and priceless since it was her original teachings with nothing added or removed.
Resulting in the young prince immediately breaking through at the end of the week and becoming a Mid-Level Sword Saint thanks to his experience of paying attention and writing mental notes every other moment from Lady Frost.
However, what was even more impressive was the fact that he had a surplus of experience much like that of his mage meaning if given time he could breakthrough once more after the sealing is removed?!
As for Selphie's training.. he loved it!
He had never trained with Selphie before let alone see her train meaning he loved every moment of it! And towards the end of the last day he simply adorably rolled around, not for training or anything really.. it was just fun!
And both Selphie and himself knew he needed it! Causing him to then adorably lay his head on Selphie's chest before then simply giggling his heart out.
"I love Selphie so much! For Selphie, Aurel will be The Best First Prince of The Elves! An-And The Best Holy Prince of Selphine! Fo-For forever! Aurel promises! An-And I'll promise I'll always be a good boy!"
"Selphie is irreplaceable like mommies, sisters, daddies, and forever partners! I-I want Light Elves to love Selphie like Elves love Selphie! I-I want to be like mommy bu-but for gods I-I wanted to be like Selphie! Bec-Becaouse If I was I'd be perfect like Selphie! I love you!"
The young prince happily cried before then happily kissing her cheeks repeatedly causing Selphie to then adorably giggle her heart out as well.
Having realized how much he truly idolized her! And in turn, it also showed how much she had truly loved her celestial teddy bear!
