Surprising him to no end, and causing Kassandra to slightly shake her head as she finally opened her eyes.
"One shouldn't leave it up to chance, however, I don't believe in chances. You're now my younger sibling in both blood and name"
"If my future counterpart in your future is unable to see this, then one should believe in my insignia, while a slap would suffice?"
Kassandra thoroughly teased, having ultimately given him what her younger sibling should've had if they had been born, meaning she had given him the qualifications and bloodline to prove it.
And done so happily, of course she displayed happiness in her own way.
While as for the last bit, for all intents and purposes if her future counterpart is unable to either remember let alone know what she saw.
Then naturally she genuinely wished for him to activate her insignia, meet her future counterpart, and for him to slap her.
What was even worse was she was very much serious, she wanted him to absolutely slap her. If her future counterpart had fallen so low then one slap should suffice.
While a slap by a sibling she always dreamed of and never had while wearing such an insignia would no doubt set her future self straight.
Worst case scenario she'd simply engrave it on her throne or have a painting made of both and place it in her room and within the throne room if all else fails.
Of course she knew it wasn't truly necessary, if anything else she wished to reassure him seeing as his fear was a fear of being forgotten.
Resulting in him tearily hugging her even more.
"I'll forever love my big sister no matter what!"
The young prince happily promised, causing Kassandra to smile.
And soon enough after calming down he adorably explained his plans and everything he knew of The Starlit Trial! Be it eating the hearts as to release them and those princesses and queen he met!
While funnily enough nothing happened after revealing such things?
Of course Kassandra now knew a secret of The Starlight Elves and the name of their dragon aspect who had yet to exist, however he knew it also so it shouldn't change too much!
While he also confessed his worries for Silvy since she'd be lonely and she was pretty much a baby demigoddess?
As for the meeting he promised Sava, he was worried if she'd really be there? Resulting in Kassandra having listened to it all to slightly nod with mild curiosity.
Resulting in her ultimately understanding his end goal even if he had yet to know himself? Resulting in her ultimately filling the gaps while she carried him to her outdoor training yard.
Causing the young prince to happily nod as he focused on releasing each heart one at a time, starting with the fake Savania, resulting in a large ball of black ball of energy forming several meters away.
And after the ball had dissipated it revealed the fake Savania in her starlight elf form and attire.
To put it simply it was as if nothing had happened, surprising her since despite the time difference it felt as if she had died and woke up here in but a single moment causing her after sensing the young prince to shamelessly nod.
"I knew it! But whatever you did took away my Senex Essence so now I'm stuck as that Starlight Elf? You owe me big! When is our date?"
Savania or rather simply Savani shamelessly rambled, prompting the young prince to adorably flick her forehead.
"No more Senex for Savani.. only Starlight Elf! Balance doesn't like Senex?"
The young prince adorably explained before then shushing her as Kassandra examined her and the young prince released The Blight Vampire Progenitor resulting in a similar display.
Albeit she was utterly confused and blood thirsty up until she sensed the young prince.
Causing her to pause before then finally noticing Kassandra and a Starlight Elf Princess? Unfortunately it seemed she was no longer that of the blight and only remained that of a vampire progenitor, confusing her greatly.
Causing Savani having felt she had to speed it up to shamelessly do so.
"Vamphy! I was the first to be released and you're the second so shush and get over here!"
Savani shamelessly shushed, having made up a name for her causing Vamphy having realized she wasn't in any danger at the moment and because she understood she had also been released to reluctantly do so.
Causing the young prince to adorably ignore the mini argument those two were apparently having while Kassandra watched, causing him to finally release The Blight Dragon.
Albeit she was simply a dragon now it seemed? More comparable is a pure yet neutral dragon with gray scales as default.
Both the blight and Senex had been removed somehow? Didn't that mean on his next to trials he could eat even more hearts!
Causing him to adorably pause having realized his thoughts, before then adorably nodding since eating hearts wasn't something he really wanted to do.
He didn't like himself or rather his inner starlit trial based dragon who loved hearts.. all the while after Kassandra had suppressed the now wild dragoness it was now time for a proper discussion and an overall explanation.
And seeing as it involved her younger sibling she saw no choice but to oversee such a discussion and where it may lead.
And because he was still very much.. young, and because she heard all of his jumbled plans and ultimate end goal.
Which despite seeming partly reasonable, involved making these individuals vassals or rather companions alongside that of discovering how The Starlight Elves had disappeared.
Finishing The Starlit Trials, getting stronger, and meeting those that he had met during this time in the future?
Which in the end wasn't much to begin with? He hadn't aimed to drastically change the past, while his actions alone were negligible at best.
Unimportant events, Starlit Trials, and Individuals who were replaceable didn't overturn time itself, primarily because it couldn't.
And because in the great scheme of things, if they were able to be released in this time, it would only truly mean the balance allowed them to because of these reasons. Resulting in Kassandra ultimately arranging everything from here.
Resulting in far better organizations and explanations as compared to the young prince ramblings which despite being understandable to her weren't very.. understandable to others perhaps?
While it also appeared all three at the very least knew of her and respected or perhaps simply feared her.
Making it even simpler, Savani would be taught and learn infiltration and whatever she'd truly need to spy and live among on The Starlight Elves if or when they appear and disappear.
However, for the time being outside of preparations, she'd become a proper Starlight Princess since despite no longer being that of Senex.
She still hadn't lost such knowledge especially that belonging from the essence of Savania which was indeed a lot but due to her laziness she never used..
Henceforth why she had a journal of notes! While funnily enough both her and Ayla would no doubt become the best of friends in the future, hopefully?
They did share some things in common. Laziness and shamelessness alongside being adorable.
While as for the Vampire Progenitor she will be.. 'cured' and go through a lesser rebirth.
However, since Kassandra is the one doing it and she'd have to sacrifice both her mana and pure vampire progenitor bloodline of the future, then it would become a more or less equal exchange.
While she'd benefit far greater as a dragoness and would still very much be able to drink bloodline so it would no doubt become an overall upgrade.
All the while for the blight dragon, the same can be applied since she was now more or less an empty template and a wild dragoness while it appeared her name was Lightress funnily enough?
Perhaps to play on the blight or a joke perhaps. No matter the case, that was her real name.
While as for their objectives, Vamphy was to investigate The Starlight Elves and any or all suspicious actively relating to them and their culture as a whole, while also collecting blood samples, purchasing their royal bloodwine.
Or anything to obtain their DNA and Bloodline.
While as for Lightress she would purchase their high valued goods, properties, magic books, research, history books, and anything relating to them.
Alongside purchasing any or all information that may or may not have leaked, while also getting close to their royals earning their trust and copying anything in sight.
If given access to their library, memory crystals and copying everything in sight would also do.
However as long as they completed these objections they could have as much fun as they truly wished as long as it didn't endanger their objectives or the others.
The same applied for Savani, of course she would also teach them the ins and outs of The Starlight Elves and their royals, while she herself now had a deluded royal bloodline meaning if lucky she could go to their temple and purify it!
At least she believed she could trick their temples somehow.
As for Silvy, Kassandra would much prefer to meet her one day while for the time, both her protection and that of her happiness would no doubt make her young sibling happy.
While she'd also keep an eye out for her until a day she could finally meet her.
As for others, she'll keep an eye on them whenever the list is updated.
Causing Kassandra after several moments to pause having realized her younger sibling and disciple had yet to mention Keira, causing her to slightly frown as the young prince sat in her lab while the others sat and created a circle.
Thankfully Savani broke the silence having remembered The Starlit Trial Business? Causing her to coot closer to Kassandra and the young prince before then looking to him with a shamelessly adorable expression.
"Don't.. don't you have two more of those trials? If what you two say is true.. if there was an evil starlight elf or princess eat their heart! They might know something! Plus it's not like they'll die! We can't wait forever for that Princess! And why didn't you rummage through their libraries?"
"It's not like they'd stop you because of that interference rule! Stop being a dummy and be smart! Plus wait until you get that mark of approval before you do it! And eat their couch! Maybe you'll be able to release it here?"
Savani adorably pounced, surprising everyone causing both Lightress and Vamphy to nod in agreement since even if it's not 'honorable' and you complete your trial early and receive the mark of approval.
Then naturally you'd have plenty of time to Skim over dozens of books within their library until you disappear!
And if you're lucky you can sneak a heart from a tomb, or 'evil' princess during the process?! As for the couch bit, that was simply ridiculous!
Causing both Kassandra and the young prince to curiously look to each other with slight curiosity causing the young prince to happily nod before then turning around and burying himself in her embrace and falling asleep.
Causing her to slightly sigh and Savani to excitedly wait in anticipation.
And soon enough he was on his sixth trial, which in itself wasn't as eventual outside of the fact that this time after fighting a base human army of archmages and legendary mages known as.. something generic?
The Stone Puritans who were apparently Stone Humans who wanted land across the region so they believed they should attack the palace of a lazy princess.
Who refused their audiences and ignored and sent them jokes instead of attempting to simply take it?
It seemed Stone Humans despite their impressive formations, gothic, and talents in magic weren't very bright.
So after quite literally beating those leading such an attack senseless and what was even more comical was the fact that The Stone Human Princess shamelessly called it a tie as she escaped with her army.
Resulting in him receiving his mark of approval and simply reading whatever books he found in her den while she lazily watched on in mild curiosity, while her name was funnily enough was Sterla Starlight.
And soon enough he had disappeared after skimming over all of the books on her desk, which were simply speaking three magic books made by a heavenly mage?
While the four others were.. historic picture book, surprising him after seeing Silvia?! She wore a crown.. did she become a queen?
Causing him to then unknowingly become teary before then writing a letter. To put it simply he wished to warn her one way or the other in the hopes of one day fulfilling her promise.
"Please deliver this to Princess Silvia Starlight, this will be my sixth trial. I only wish I'll be able to meet my dearest friend once more, If I'm unable, I would at the very least like for her to see my letter. I'll forever be grateful"
The young prince formally asked, causing Sterla to open a box and after several moments of thought to finally send it.
