Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

" Oh before I forget" I said as we broke from our hug " I told Ares to send the 2 princess to the Emperess's palace so I can help them or more like put the thought of making her queen in her head" I said . Personally I don't enjoy manipulating people but if it's for the safety of everyone I would do it even if it's making me sound like the bad one

"Yes" the replied in unison and then I was literally sent to bed by Sally and Celestia in the account of " kids my age where already supposed to be asleep"

That night as I slept I had a dream , there was a man, a miner to be precised he was on a mountain as he hammered in to the rock he found a mana stone and later on he became rich and influencial. The mountain was on an island . there where three of them and he worked on the one in the middle.

After this I woke up and saw the sky was starting to get the first rays of sunshine and I then looked at the time and saw it was seven in the morning and I was shocked this was the first time I slept the whole night without emerald awakening me. I woke up and headed outside . The first thing I saw as I went down was Lunaera who was busy cleaning the place . She then looked up at me and then smiled

" Good morning your highness " she greeted me with a cheerful smile

" Hello Luna " I responded to her greeting" and please don't address me as your highness when we are in this palace alone but call me by my name Dehlia"

" Alright " she simply said

I looked around and saw no one around " where's everyone "

" Oh Candace is making breakfast while Sally was tending to the princess and lady Ashtyn while Ila is still asleep "

" Oh ,no wonder I smell something so sweet in the air"

" Me too, I so want to eat what she is cooking" said Luna as she started drooling I just laughed and then Sally came to us with Emmy and Ashtyn .

" It smells so good " said Sally

" Sister I am so hungry can we eat"

"Yes, soon we will be patient"

" Oh good morning everyone "said tia as she brought out the food

" It smells so good, can we all eat" said Luna as she moved to help her

" Where's Ila" Celestia asked

"she is still asleep "I said as I went to sit down

With that Celestia face changed and she screamed" Ilariah Lieve,get down here immediately before I loose my patience " she said and this shocked me, this was the first time I saw the always smiling and calm Celestia angry.

Ilariah Lieve, Lunaera Lavender, Celestia Lyric and Sally Iselyn. These where my accomplies and only allies in the palace . Apart from Sally I couldn't understand why commoners children had noble names and they all had 2 names to add to the mystery .

In the practice of this ,world only royal children where given 2 names but as you can see my two witches, human and dragon had two names each,which was abnormal.

When Ila didn't go down, Celestia climbed up and after sometime we saw her dragging Ila by her ear till they reached the floor .

Today we tried giving Emmy some rice pudding as celestia said it was going to make her full and healthier than my milk .

This saddened me as this was another proof my little baby was growing up. But if it was for her good I would gladly do it.

But I was very curious to know how tia knew about being a mother as for this past days we spent together she told me how to handle and take care of Emmy.

This matters also bothered me when emerald would out grow her age the members of the council will ask for another baby. I am not ready to have another one yet but this would be in the future right now I just have to focus on my plans.

On the table, as we all ate I then remembered my dream and then turned to Ila

" Ila"

" Yes"

" Is there a little island at the border of the barbarians and us "

She sat and started thinking and said" yes it is currently owned by the barbarian royalty " she responded" why do you ask"

" Oh nothing I just had a dream about it that's all if I have any information I would make sure to tell you" I said continuing my breakfast "can you please complete you ring design and this goes for all of you , you must complete your designs and creations"

" Everyone calmly nodded and we all resumed our breakfast.

After breakfast It was time for trying out dresses to go for the truce meeting. I sat on my bed reading the diary of the last Guardian while Celestia and Sally argued on the dress I was going to wear.

" The violet was going to be better on her it would make her more beautiful and cute"said tia as she showed the dress

" No the red it would make her more mature and look older than her age " retorted Sally

They continued to bicker till they turned to me

" Which" they said in unison

" What" I turned to them not knowing what they where saying as I was so engrossed in my book

" Which one would you choose to wear for the truce meeting?"

" I like the red " I responded and Tia's face dropped and I felt bad but I needed to look as intimidating and older than usual.

" I won " said Sally as she scrambled to get everything ready and then the preparations continued I was pampered and then dressed in the red gown which was tight on my waist then loose from below, my hair was tied into a ponytail showing my slender neck and then some light makeup was applied on my face and I wore some silver jewelry with sapphires adorn on it and then a tiara on my head I wore a low heel shoes to complete my outfit.

They both looked at me with great satisfaction and then when we where admiring my reflection the must wonderful thing happened

" Mama pretty" said Emmy with her soft little vioce . We all turned to look at her with astonishment.

" Darling did you just talk" I questioned her Talking her into my arms" baby girl can you please say it again just once"

She smiled touched my face with her little hands and then repeated" mama pretty "

" My baby said her first words " I said twirling around and then hugging her tightly .

*************

The carriage moved steadily as I,Celestia and Lunaera moved to the main palace today .I needed to make things move smoothly according to plan if not everything was going to fail . Firstly Ares does not need to accept them as wives if not everything will fail , and I need to the person to give the perfect truce plan.

As the carriage stopped I looked out and saw Ares outside waiting for me I stepped out and then our eyes met and for the longest moment we stared at each other after some time he finally spoke " Emm where is the baby " he asked averting my eyes"

" She is at home I couldn't take her with me and today she said her first words ,my baby Is truly amazing she spoke at only seven months old and can you imagine what she first said ;mama pretty " I rambled about it as we walked to the conference hall with Tia and Luna trailing behind he just looked at me and smiled "when things settle down I would take her out for a picnic" he said

" No problem" I responded . I wanted my kid to have quality time with her dad which I couldn't have with mine so his request came at a perfect time.

" Remember to always keep your head high and if you don't like a request object to it" he reminded me

" But what if I am not taken into account "

" You are my wife so what ever you say is taken into account "

I looked at tia and Luna who smiled at me and then stepped behind and disappeared into the shadows As the door to the conference hall opened ,I breath in a large amount of air then with my hand in his I walked into the den of wolves
