Resulting in Octavia finally noticing the messaging group her little brother hadn't noticed.
Before then 'borrowing' his magepad and skimming over the messages before then realizing they were also his subordinates, servants, or whatever they were called.
Causing her after several moments to then add herself to the chat since apparently it was filled with idols, dungeon masters, and whoever really.
All of who originated from sometime within his survival training and inside of a secret facility or something equally ridiculous in Octavia's eyes.
All the while Octavia chatted them up, the young prince after getting his magepad back adorably looked at his public profile view or to be more specific the number of followers. In truth, he had never paid attention to it let alone the actual numbers..
Let alone whatever that verified symbol meant. From what Octavia had explained you'd have one near your titles if they were real.
If one was fake they simply wouldn't get it and as for the verified symbol at your actual name where it's visible on comments and so forth.
Which only ever truly meant how popular you are on the hierarchy of gildergram, your follower count, and perhaps your own importance and influence.
Or maybe a combination of these factors? Octavia only guessed as much.
In any case, he now had an ethereal golden verified marker near his name where he could actually choose its appearance depending on how high up he truly was comparable to unlocking something.
To put it simply he had nine hundred and ninety-nine billion followers and within several moments it had soon reached one trillion.
A number the young prince had yet to even learn while sparkles and what looked to be fireworks went off on the screen confusing the young prince to no end.
Before then being informed what it truly meant by both Jade and Gemma? Apparently, he was popular.
There were trillions on Divinus and the roughest estimation aside from something you'd hear from a god would be seven to eight trillion. Meaning he had managed to somehow gain one out of eight trillion..
Of course, chances were if you were to ask a god or goddess it would be comparable to something more than ten to even fifteen trillion.
Especially when considering the Ancestral Worlds also had access to Magepads as well and occasionally went back and forth since it was an afterlife for the living.
Meaning from mortal record there was only eight while a god or goddesses might vary due to the simple fact that there's a lot to consider at that point?
Causing the young prince to then adorably nod before then posting the selfies from much earlier he had forgotten he had.
Be it from the baby snow leopard cub known as a little Rory and his mommy at the auction house while another was him being wrapped by both Elyris's and Lady Lu's tails.
Along with the auction itself and the elven attendants who he had funnily enough added as friends.
And even Lady Vina and some of what he won! Surprising quite literally billions it seemed?
It seems Magepads were indeed affordable. Resulting in Jade explaining how cheap they really were at least when compared to the ones sold in their weight of gold.
Meaning junior artisans could make hundreds especially when that industry was simply never-ending?
If a junior artisan decided to choose quantity over quality, they can make thousands within a several-month period.
And each even the cheapest could be sold for fifteen hundred gold, or if they wanted to go through the middle man, women, sacred beast, or demigoddess.
They could simply sell for slightly less, meaning a thousand gold. And that again was the cheapest and with the revenue companies in the average three-month period at 'market' price they'd earn around six million seven hundred and fifty thousand gold!
And that was only in three months! As for below market price it would be around four and a half million.
As for The Highest Junior Artisan Quality Magepads they would be comparable to fifty thousand gold and making five hundred a month in a three-month period would be estimated at a market value of around seventy-five million!
While below market value would be fifty-two million and five hundred thousand within the three-month period as well? Of course with higher positions in alchemy, the cost would no doubt skyrocket along with their designs and so forth.
There was a reason why many wished to become artisans!
If you were from a poor noble family whose only fortune was ten million gold and you could make seven times that after becoming a 'Junior' Artisan then that would no doubt be life changing.
And would no doubt result in some spending decades stockpiling resulting in hundreds of billions being made until finally there were trillions of stockpiled magepads bought and sold for cheaper and cheaper with time.
At least that's how Jade explained it all.
Surprising the young prince having now wanted to learn how to make them and now understood why there were so many magepads?
All the while causing Gemma after noticing his expression to then gently smile.
Causing the young prince having noticed this to then adorably looking up to her as if lost and expecting an explanation since she did have five hundred billion followers funnily enough?
Causing Gemma to then gently nod before then explaining her own thoughts on the matter, surprising the young prince by the fact that so many would be interested in his life and what he posted.
Which in itself was hilarious due to the simplest fact that he had posted within a dreamworld, a strange survival world in-between space and time, inside of a secret blight research facility, inside of The Celestial Palace, a Temple of Selphine.
And even selfies and photoshoots with Idol groups, his mommies, his daddies, literal goddesses, his sisters, random yet popular princesses, and much more and yet he hadn't realized any of this was unique..
Albeit he was still a child who thought it was all normal.
Giving him the ultimate excuse if anything else?
However, to everyone who saw it and gotten a glimpse inside of his absurd life, his antics, and ultimately the lives and close-ups to royalty, gods, and even idol groups it was both beyond bizarre yet equally exciting!
He was already considered a hidden gem with his mother's beauty, the most adorable, and the cutest boy by many which in itself reasons for anyone to follow.
But the fact that they got a show and glimpses into his antics really gave him a massive fan base.
Especially since he dressed to match his body and loved makeup! Which in itself was surprisingly reasonable knowing his body was majority female anyway.
While those religious individuals along with the elven races who followed him all but immediately since he was The First Prince of The Elves.
Coupled with his many other titles and so forth gave him not only a little but a massive boost in influence and everything that came with it.
Along with the eyes that came with it? The Eyes of The Elven Races, Celestials, Temples, and anyone else really?
He was followed by literal temples only displaying how outrageous it all truly was.
Causing the young prince having felt surprisingly calm albeit probably because he adorably looked up to Gemma's heartwarming facial expressions and occasional giggled causing Octavia having not paid attention.
To then helplessly pause after making fun of The Blighted Holy Trinity whatever?
They shouldn't have been bragging about 'treating' her little brother you know! It's hard to find the line between who's a pervert and who's not anymore! So until she does they're all perverts!
However, she didn't hate them yet, so until she finds proof they were 'not' perverts she'd still make fun of them! What are they gonna do?! She's her little brother's biggest sister! Unfortunately, none of this mattered at the moment!
"One trillion?! I only have like seven hundred million followers.. and that's only because of mommy you know! Every other fluffest has at least a billion! And don't even mention the Bos and Fluffest! And you have like millions of verified followers and organizations too!"
"I swear gildergram hates me! Bu-But at least it doesn't hate my little brother.. anyways remember what I told you before!"
"Ignore those creeps! Only add them as friends if they're not creepy and you've met them in person! Unless their idol groups and family! We have lots of family and extended family you know!"
Octavia adorably ranted.
"Think of them as something like whatever branch families?"
"They either don't show up, only send their children, busy, or holding some other bouquets for some delegations and whatever!"
"Still weird how we haven't seen any of them though! Our family's massive too! And the direct royal family is the main one.. so us? We can probably find some of our cousins on Gildergram and make a messaging group, you know!"
Octavia adorably ranted further, all the while the young prince happily absorbed it all causing the young prince's eyes to then excitedly sparkle having in truth not played with the search system or anything else really.
He only ever watched idols, liked pictures, and hadn't played with his profile much outside of Octavia doing it for him meaning this was new to him!
Causing Octavia to then proudly nod, and after taking a group selfie and posting it on both of their accounts.
Prepared to search! Causing Adel after waking up to then adorably kiss Gemma's cheek before then adorably getting up and looking at the sky before then adorably jumping into the air and into her dragon form before then flying off into the night..
Causing all three to surprisingly pause and watch as she flew away under the light of the moon..
All the while Gemma had apparently received a mental message causing her to then gently shake her head.
"It seems Lady Emilia requires my assistance, you needn't worry, however it may take some time so I'd imagine I would be able to squeeze in the next several minutes?"
Gemma gently reassured causing the young prince to then immediately pout before then reluctantly accepting, soon enough Gemma had suggested a Starla take her place having apparently been told many things by Selphie.
Despite appearances, she was still Elfine's granddaughter after all, and she'd no doubt still keeps in contact with both her and Selphie albeit in private.
Along with the fact that Aldra had mentioned wanting to be introduced to more of her sweet prince's acquaintances.
Resulting in Gemma 'ultimately' keeping all of that in mind, even now.
Surprising the young prince to no end, while Octavia got annoyed as soon as she heard that name, in truth despite only ever catching glimpses they had never spoken, but through those glimpses, Octavia quickly gathered something..
Starla is both arrogant, and a pretentious hussy!
No words were ever needed! However in the end she simply didn't care or like her resulting in him after Gemma left to then finally ask Starla through mental messages if she 'wanted' to camp with him and Octavia.
Resulting in Starla surprisingly accepting? Ordinarily, she simply wouldn't respond, if not she would have made it an issue or to put it simply everyone's issue as if she was a prisoner, however after finally appearing something was different about her..
Starting off with the fact alone that she didn't wear her armor! Rather a strangely seductive obsidian black under armor or quite possibly a sleek training attire and boots.
All covered in a fusion of the darkest violet trim and abyssal, demon, elemental, and void patterns intertwined following the subtle trim outlining her figure.
Complimenting her slicked-back obsidian ponytail, slightly sweaty snow-like skin, and cold yet exhausted fusion of sparkling obsidian, Void Black, and a mixture of Demonic Purple and Abyssal Violet.
Causing the young prince to then unknowingly blush and Octavia to then knowingly pout.
All the while Starla, having trained for quiet a few hours, felt the cold breeze hit her skin resulting in her savoring such a new feeling before finally ultimately collecting her breath and examining this 'camp'.
While Octavia busied herself on her magepad and the young prince patiently waited in an adorable manner, causing him to then adorably pat the spot next to him all the while wetting a clean cloth.
Causing Starla after several moments to then reluctantly take a seat while the young prince adorably wiped off the sweat off of her face.
Strangely enough, she smelled the same.. It was as if her sweat was simply purified water and very little else, which annoyed Octavia.
However much like before she ignored her, causing the young prince after wiping away the sweat to then adorably show off his magepad and skills at.. swiping maybe?
Surprising Starla having for all intents and purposes, 'purposely' ignored those strange crystal constructs until recently, perhaps out of spite if not a little indifference.
Resulting in the young prince excitedly tapping on Octavia's shoulder, and surprising both with a surprise group selfie!
