Chapter 314 - After Action VII The Conspiracy

"If at any point you're feeling lonely my door is always open, while the same could be said for the others, however please consider Blaire's wishes, I fear she has yet grown used to my dearest Aurel so please give it time. While if you have any trouble sleeping I'll be in my den. Sleep well!"

Morgan lovingly added, causing the young prince to then happily nod.

And after mommy Morgan had taken her leave the young prince had soon entered the bathroom before then quickly realizing his bathtub wasn't a tub but an actual bath!

And soon enough after taking a hot bath and putting on his obsidian black nightgown, he had soon received a mental message from his Sentials causing him to then happily open the doors to his balcony and adorably wait.

And within several moments they had finally appeared as if a gentle breeze confusing him as it had only been several hours? Causing both Nexus and Ark to formerly bow.

Before then informing the young prince of the complications, for all intents and purposes Bradley had sanctioned the young prince's efforts or rather that of his Sentinel Mages.

And those of whom who were detained would be handled by that of The Celestial Hand and The Celestial King's Guard.

However, the complications were fairly extensive. Not in the way that it was difficult or so far that they had been caught, rather it concerned several royal houses of The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale.

And having been made aware of his connection to his family distant and direct, they didn't wish to cause complications or burden him without informing him foremost.

It seemed for all intents and purposes several branch families and even lesser royals had supported Edar while he was still a member of The Elder Council, and even after the treason and ambush.

While several other members were also members of The Celestial Creed, however none of whom were truly threats.

However, the young prince had already given his perimeters, while it seemed several lower-level members of The Celestial Hand, and other organizations had done much of the same.

Causing the young prince after being informed of the 'first' report to unknowingly becoming teary.

Before then signaling them to move onto the next, it seemed forty or so out of several thousand or more noble families within The Kingdom of The Celestial had also supported such actions.

While even if they had cut ties with The Celestial Creed, they had already crossed the line.

And with them came fifteen Dukedoms, five Marquess Houses, while the other twenty were lower nobles.

In truth, due to the astronomical size of The Continent of The Gods The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale could have ten thousand or so nobles houses, however that number was simply far too many.

Resulting in there only being twenty five hundred while they didn't count the branch families which made it all even simpler while if you truly wish to become a noble and had earned it,

You could find a sponsor and become a branch family which brought quite a few benefits however none of them truly mattered at the moment.

And after reassuring the young prince with this, he only felt slightly better, but those were still forty noble families?!

He was a baby and that number was a lot so statistics wouldn't help him feel better! Causing him to ultimately sigh while they continued with foreign agents or nobles who also supported such things.

Resulting in the third report becoming a cluster.. of information!

It seemed The Snow Elf Embassy or rather several envoys who represented them had funded and assisted with quite a bit while even several Wood Elf Royals or rather simply lesser-known royal houses had done so as well.

While even several lesser-known Elf and Sea Elf royal houses had done the same and they weren't even related to the bully Elders!

While funnily enough a also lesser-known Dark Elf Royal House had joined them in the very beginning but back tracked and left them in the dust while cutting off all ties after being caught by Amelia.

And that wasn't all, even a first-rate Trade Confession belonging to that of The Celestial Golden Isles had made bets as well! Even The Kingdom of Bells despite joining in late contributed.

What was even more surprising was the fact that The Kingdom of Minma wasn't even involved! It seemed they simply enjoyed theft.

Of course, they were never even considered to be involved, but that didn't matter! They were still bullies and thieves! While thankfully the magic incarnations were freed.

Resulting in outside of The Kingdom of Minma having a Godling who reverse engineered objects, they didn't do much.

Unfortunately, the young prince still felt sad, he was The First Prince of The Elves and The First Holy Prince of Selphine and yet four Elven Races or rather their lesser-known royal houses and that of The Snow Elf Embassy or rather envoys due to their history and not having a true embassy, didn't like him!

He was a baby! And as The First Prince of The Elves, it felt like a dagger in the back! Of course, he had gotten that quote from Jade and didn't truly know what it meant aside from betrayal but that wasn't the point!

His sentinels had gathered all of this without even leaving The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale meaning there was probably even more!

Causing the young prince after switching to his aspect form and revealing both his silver tail, scales, and wings to softly sigh.

Having completely switched to that of the character he had learned from Master Frostma to handle these matters since it strangely helped.

"I understand, I sincerely thank you, Nexus, Ark. I'll extend your investigation by four more days, please continue at your own pace. As for these reports, I believe it'll be best to wait until we have a fuller picture. For the time being, only detain those of whom who are directly related to blight spirits"

"Alongside that of infiltrators while I'll make arrangements for the royal aspects, while I believe the nobles and the others involved can wait, they may believe you're only targeting those of The Celestial Creed and those of whom related to The Blight Spirits, that should prove far more beneficial"

The young prince softly suggested, before then gently taking the information crystal and signaling both to continue with their investigations.

Causing the young prince after closing the balcony doors to finally revert before then tearily burying himself under the blankets and falling asleep having wished to handle those matters later.

And soon enough he arrived in Selphie's Ancestral World, unfortunately Elfine was in a meeting of some sort and he didn't want to interrupt her or cry in front of Aerin or let alone his ancestors resulting in him quickly disappearing.

And causing Aerin who couldn't spout another word to worriedly frown.

He was clearly distressed and even more inpatient fearing he was a burden it seemed.

While soon enough he had appeared into Silas's Dreamworld in the hopes of looking for Tillie, unfortunately she wasn't there either resulting in quickly disappearing once more as Silas worriedly arrived.

It seemed Lady Aerin had informed Selphie who informed Silas causing Silas, having missed him to playfully shake his head.

All the while the young prince finally returned to his dreamworld before then tearily pouncing into Sylvia's embrace surprising her.

"Why are you crying Aurel?"

Sylvia worriedly asked, causing the young prince to simply cry. He couldn't tell Selphie or Celes! If he did then he'd burden them and he didn't want that.

Thankfully it was only Sylvia, it seemed Lily was still drinking while the others busied themselves resulting in the rare moment where the two were finally alone as they were in the beginning.

Causing Sylvia to worriedly stop time and the young prince to cry even further, despite appearances it hurt!

Even if they were lesser-known royal houses, they were still family one way or the other while he was still The First Prince of The Elves. He didn't want to disappoint Selphie or anyone else.

Unfortunately, he couldn't keep it in any longer.

"Wh-Why do they hate me? I-I thought I was a good boy. Bu–But why.. why do The Royal Houses of The Elves, Snow Elves, Wood Elves and Sea Elves hate Aurel?! Why does The Elder Council hate Aurel?! Why do The Royal Celestial Houses hate Aurel?!"

"Even bully nobles and trade confederations! What did Aurel do.. why-"

The young prince frustratingly cried, before then finally being hushed causing Sylvia to hug him even tighter before then unstopping time and allowing the tipsy Lily to arrive, albeit sooner or later?

"Aurel, you are a good boy-"

Sylvia worriedly reassured, before then ultimately being cut off by the arrival of Annie who quickly stumbled upon the scene.

Before then being updated via mental message by Sylvia, causing the still very much tipsy Lily to immediately fume!

"Those pig elves dare to bully 'our' Aurel?! They're just asking for a smite!"

Lily tipsily swore, causing the young prince to then adorably cling to Sylvia while soon enough Selphie had arrived followed by Celes causing Lily to tipsily frown.

"You two aren't planning to stop me from smiting those pig elves and celestials, are you?"

Lily seriously asked, surprising both and causing Sylvia to push Lily over before then tossing the copied data crystal to Celes.

"Ignore that drunken hussy of a demon goddess. But even I admit she's 'partly' right! Snow Elf Envoys, Elf, Wood Elf, and Sea Elf and even Celestial Royal Houses? Forgive me Selphie, but Elven Royal Houses are becoming troublesome, and they even dared to go after Aurel!"

"The Celestial Creed no matter how silly it may sound care more for purity but at least they have some reasoning even if they're fools? But The Elven Races? They have no excuse!

"And to directly support the targeting of Aurel and Molly is unforgivable! it's a slap in the face for The Elves and The Elven Race as a whole! Our Aurel deserves better!"

"The same applies to The Celestials, but what's even worse is that they supported that incident even after learning of him becoming your consort! I don't wish to blow this out of proportion, however them being accomplices changes things"

Sylvia frustratingly explained, causing Selphie worriedly nod having not realized the extent while Celes was making plans for more cuties to become progenitors.

If only they attempted to make another Celestial Church, she could snatch their cuties and have them deal with their families!

No matter the case Celes was always prepared for purging! Unfortunately Selphie was also here and more goddesses were involved meaning the likelihood without a wave of pouts were slim to none.

Causing Selphie to then adorably hug both.

"I'm so sorry my celestial teddy bear! I'll set those bullies straight! To try to harm my celestial teddy and the first prince and holy prince of my race is an unforgivable sin! You don't have to worry any longer my celestial teddy bear-"

Selphie tearily reassured, this was her celestial teddy bear and the first male royal of her race, for him to be targeted and hated by foolish elves and humans for simply being born breaks her heart!

Unfortunately the young prince having not wanted to bury himself in emotions yet again, to then finally cut her off.

Before then shyly whispering into her ear having had an idea what to do and handing her a list, surprising everyone and causing all four to curiously read it together as the young prince was moved into Selphie's lap.

The list itself was simply more or less an explanation and his plan combined?

His plans being he'll handle the royal houses, and nobles while Celes and Selphie handle the temple matters due to the simple fact that those were their matters, and he didn't want to be a bully and disregard their sovereignty over such temples and because he had no right to involve himself.

Of course, he could if he truly wanted to but only to an extent while they'd sort it out at their own discretion, he may have holy titles but he loved his big sisters and didn't want to mess up their systems!

While the same could be said for rulers such as his daddy and mommies since those were their direct responsibilities and they already had systems in place and he didn't want to ruin them.

The only reason why he chose to handle the nobles, lesser-known royal houses, and even perhaps the Trade Confederation is because he was allowed to and since they were involved in such a conspiracy, he had every right to even if they weren't.
