~Royal Dinner~
Prince Dionysios appeared in his Manor to meet Severus.
"Your Highness" the trio bowed.
"Right, tell me everything" Dionysios said, impatiently.
"Your Highness, I found out that a demon from Develdion attacked lady Neev but with her unknown and strange powers, she purified it. The force Lady Neev used is what made her go unconscious..."
Severus paused and took a deep breath
"Lady Neev, purifying the demon-possessed being only confirmed that she is the new goddess" he added the lady part. Somehow he was rejoicing for his prince. The same lady his prince cared for turned out to be his goddess! The feeling is inexplicably overwhelming.
"Good now, you all need to keep it a secret by all means. Brother Lansel must not know of this. Spit it out and I will personally butcher you and feed you to the snakes"
Dionysios warned, all of them- including his own knight and shadow guard.
The trio bowed simultaneously.
"Now, what about that young lad?" He asked.
"I took him to Sapphire City. He'll be safe there" Severus replied.
"I'll go meet him later, you may leave. I'm going to see the Queen"
Prince Lansel appeared in Niamh's room to meet Lucretzia sitting on the bed, staring at nothing. She sprang her feet up when she sensed a presence and curtsied.
"My prince"
"Is her awake?" Lansel asked, averting his gaze to the unconscious Neev.
"No Your Highness. But she's conscious now, she's sleeping" Lucretzia replied.
Lansel sighed and strode towards the window, his hands behind his back.
The gentle breeze coming through the window hit his face, sending his long Raven Black hair flying backwards. The sky was painted purple, pink and orange twilight colours and the stars have started to appear.
He shut his eyes and inhaled deeply.
The more he thinks about Neev having strange powers, the more confused he gets. And how he deeply cared for her...he wasn't sure why this is happening to him.
Does she also have a power to make someone care about her so much? Or was he the one who truly cared for her? If it's what he's thinking and Neev didn't turn out to be his goddess, then he knows he's done for.
Prince Dionysios arrived at the Queen's Manor. There she is, sitting elegantly in her study, reading a book. Eudocia was behind her.
"Your Grace" he bowed. Queen Diantha smiled warmly and gestured him to come forward which he did.
"Mother, I need to tell you something..." He trailed off and gazed at Eudocia
"Privately" he added.
Eudocia quickly understood what he meant so, she bowed and left the study.
Dionysios sat, facing her while taking her hands in his.
"What is it, son?" Queen Diantha asked, curiously. Dionysios heaved a deep breath and looked up to meet her beautiful ocean blue eyes, just like his.
Somehow, the more he stared into her eyes, he feels as if he's staring at his own eyes- like a beautiful ocean, full of life, calm and serene exuding all kinds of tranquility in the world. The Queen, Dionysios and Neriah all had identical ocean blue eyes while Lansel had his father's sea green eyes. Wonder why he's the only one with his father's resemblance. Though, Dionysios still had his father's Raven Black hair while Neriah is completely her mother- golden blonde hair.
"I've found the new goddess"
Queen Diantha gaped at his words. The news cane to her as a loud bang on her head that she felt tongue-tied for a while.
"H..how?" She couldn't help but stutter.
"She's that lowlife supernatural he brought" Dionysios replied with a knowing smile. He knew his mother doesn't like the lowlife supernatural, but now there's nothing she could do about it since she's now the goddess.
Queen Diantha was left speechless and shocked as Dionysios explained how she purified the demon-possessed being without her, knowing.
"No one knew about it, not even Brother Lansel"
"Right, I'll go see her tomorrow. Lansel had finally found his goddess! He can now become the Moon Supreme!" Queen Diantha was enthusiastic. Her eyes twinkling like the northern lights, which made Dionysios smile.
"How about we plan on how to surprise Lansel?" Dionysios smirked.
NIGHT
In the large dining room, the tables were meticulously set up for the general royal dinner. Tables were dotted around the room, decorated tastefully with deep crimson, golden and some shades of royal blue, colours which represent the Moon Realm. The tables were filled with different royal delicacies.
The throne table, which was meant for the Queen and her three kids was set up at the far end of the room, decorated with lavish designs, luxurious royal foods and drinks.
The golden chandeliers that dangled from the ceiling provided little sparkles of light from one end of the room to another.
The room was lively, the Noble Ladies and Lords were all eating and drinking to their satisfaction.
After a while, the Queen clapped her hands and all eyes and attentions turned to her as she stood up.
"Recently, the Crown Prince had reunited the Calm Region and Dream Nation and transformed them into the Silver sd Golden Cities respectively. As the Queen mother, I will hold a banquet to celebrate the Crown Prince's success" she announced and everyone cheered.
"The banquet will take place in two days. Lansel, do you have a say?" Queen Diantha asked.
Lansel smirked and stood up.
"Your Grace, My Prince, My Princess, My Lords and Ladies, it is a great honour to announce to you that the Calm Region and Dream Nation which is now known as the Silver and Golden Cities are now the among the Cities of Precious Stones. They unite and stand under the leadership of the Moon Realm" prince Lansel announced and the ovation took over.
"Congratulations Your Serene Highness" Dionysios beamed.
"Another thing, in a fortnight, the crown prince would be crowned as the Moon Supreme. The Moon Realm would be ruled under Lansel's power. Let's drink a toast for the prince" Queen Diantha announced, raising her golden goblet.
"To the Crown Prince!"
"To the Crown Prince!!" The crowd cheered.
Lansel snapped his head to look at the Queen and she smiled at him in return.
Dionysios also had a mischievous smile planted on his lips which left Lansel confused.
The Queen mentioned that he'll not be crowned as the Moon Supreme unless he finds his goddess, now he'll be crowned in a fortnight.
"Then, what about the goddess?"
