It's raining men!

[5 years later]
The last years were quite interesting... I got to totally infiltrate this family unsuspected. Certainly i need to spend a bit of time before this body can really become useful but taking over one of the older princes would have failed...
Those of us who had children can testify to that, even at 2-3 years old, parents know everything of them. The way they smile/laugh/vocalize... Actually even in a few month old baby's body, back then mother flinched the first time i opened my mouth. Also i am immortal, i have a lot of time. So i go for the long con.
I needed a position of power and influence to be able to reach my next target. The man who sent assassins the day i inaugurated my city back then. That fucking pope won't expect what's coming his way. I have been really busy these last years.
Very often i hear father holding conversations with his ministers about New Heaven. From what i heard it seem they are scared stiff of kicking an hornet nest if they try to enter in contact or do anything that could be misjudged as an attack. Only the Mana church representatives seem to be pushing him into action against us.
During the day i am a kid playing around and learning all kind of boring stuff i already know.. Like Etiquette for example... What i enjoyed the most was learning about the kingdom and the history of this world.
At night i become, the Grimm Reaper. Actually it's so boring during the day that i vent myself at night. I'm not sure how many it has been so far... All i know is that i am doing a darn good job seeing people barricading their home at night and thousands of guards paroling incessantly.
Hooo! Funny detail.. It's seem people in the city refer to me as the 'Ghost Butcher'... PPRFFFffffHahahahahaha* 'nanananana who'd you gonna call? Ghost Butcher!!!! Nanananan' I'm totally happy with that name.
Father isn't happy thought... For a while now he seem to have difficulty sleeping, feeling unfit to be a king since he can't even protect his subjects... Guhuhuhu* If he knew...
The King Charles Carlyn 3the third, my actual father is a 39 years old man with Black hairs and Blue eyes. He seem to be a loving father and dote on me his daughter quite a bit. I obtain pretty much everything i ask of him.
The Queen Cristiana Carlyn Dilston is now 27 years old, and still look quite good for having had 7 children. She has purple hairs and beautiful purple eyes that i also inherited from her.
She got married when she was 14 years old to my father who was 26 back then. She is the daughter of a rich and influential noble from a northern city in the neighboring Starium Kingdom to the north. This kingdom is a cold and snowy one, only the strongest will consider living up there.
This unions was obviously a political one aimed at ensuring a period of peace between the two nations who used to be at each others neck in the past. She birthed my oldest brother, the crown prince Charles Carlyn the 4th one year later at 15 years old.
Then they just kept coming one after the other. After the 6th son my parent thought mother couldn't have children anymore since it took them 3 years before falling pregnant of me. Anyway today's my 5th birthday and i heard father talking about a coming of age ceremony...
Just like that, me, mother and father are now in a luxurious carriage part of a convoy of tens of them escorted by hundreds of soldiers. (I discovered that this world do have horses but they are reserved to nobility... Go figure.) We are heading to where my ceremony is meant to happen... I am wearing a beautiful frilly black dress with matching hair bands and polished black shoes quietly sitting next to mother.
“Daddy? What's this coming of age ceremony?” (Krea)
“Uhhm? Ho it's a ceremony every noble and royal families children goes through when they reach 5 years old.” (King Charles 3rd)
“uuhhhh... Mhhhmmmm And what it is for ?” (Krea)
“Ho! It's complicated adult stuff but simply put...” (King Charles 3rd) He then lifted his right hand in the air and then small electrical sparks started jumping between his fingers.
“It's to know if you inherited our royal blood's affinity. Lightning!” (King Charles 3rd)
“Hoooo Woaaaa Daddy you so cool!!!!” (Krea)
Father showed an embarrassed expression as my mother added:
“Don't praise him to much his head might not be able to fit out of the carriage... Tehehehehe” (Queen Cristiana)
'Guhuhuhuhu, i found what i had hoped to find for so long! Even if this body don't have this ability i know where to get it now...' (Krea)
Then as suddenly as my joy appeared, panic started setting in. That mean there's going to be people capable of sensing mana affinities... In the castle i still had not met many people but what if i get found out during that ceremony????
“Daddy?... Where are we heading off to? How long before we arrive?” (Krea)
“Ho.. Hummm We are heading to the sacred castle monastery of our God Andranis... You are going to love it, it's a castle high in the air! Built on top of a mountain with cliffs and waterfalls on all side. It look as if the castle if floating in the air!” (King Charles 3rd)
“We should arrive in less than an hour honey. A nice priest will look into your mana, give you a blessing and we will go back home before night time.” (Queen Cristiana)
Ok now i am truly panicking... I am fucked if a priest look into my mana can you imagine his reaction? There's no way i won't get found out if i let this happen... Then rushing into action i start considering my options. As i look through the carriage windows i see a giant eagle looking bird.
'Bingo! This can work !!' (Krea)
“Mommy, daddy... I'm a bit tired. I will sleep a bit until we arrive.” (Krea)
“Sure my little princess. Sweet dreams.” (King Charles 3rd)
Then i quickly started leaving the young girl's body heading into the forest. I quickly find what i wanted, a big red vulture looking bird at least as big as a human baby's body... Just perfect.

{CELLPHONE!} (Krea)
{Yes?? [...] Princess? PRRffffff* hihihihihihihihihihi} (Cellphone) She said popping out of nowhere.
{Now's not the time for that!!! Do you know where this Holy castle church thing is?} (Krea)
{Yup!!!... Milady... prrfffff*} (Cellphone)
I quickly take over the bird's body, then fly as fast as possible, following Cellphone and trying to catch up to the convoy which kept going ahead of us. I first thought i would easily get used to flying in this body as i always had wings on my divine body but after falling face first on the cold ground i got worried a bit. Luckily i got the hang of it shortly after and now have the convoy in sight.
'Crap!' (Bird Michael) I think as i can see the convoy arriving to the bottom of the cliff where a big white and blue fortified castle can be seen on top.
They now only have a few miles to go before arriving. The convoy have to circle around, then engage itself in a long and steep slope leading to the top. As a bird i take the shortest route and directly go high up to see the castle.

I land in the middle of the dreaded place and expand my aura over then entire compound. I don't notice anyone i would consider to be the pope but only around 50 priests and various workers. I anchor myself tightly to the ground with mana ropes and extend mana tentacles in every directions i can sense 'presences' from.
{Hihihihihihi Getting down to business yay!} (Cellphone)
'Cellphone seem to enjoy herself a bit to much...' (Bird Michael)
All those who were inside the castle got a tentacle forcing it's way trough their mouth, down their stomachs. Then i expanded the tip making them blow up, spreading guts and gore all over the castle. Then all those who were outside, i started trowing away in all directions. Being on top of a cliff i simply let gravity do the work for me.. I'm pressed in time.
Once everyone in the compound have been rid off i quickly fly back to my human body but realize how stupid i had been... There was body flattened on the ground all around the convoy. The guards were on high alert looking up high to where these bodies came from.
'Dammit i totally forgot to be careful about where i threw them... That's what happen when you rush things through... Fuck!' (Bird Michael)
[Cellphone's news from home]
-With Mae surviving the 'purity field' proving her faithfulness. Under Michael's command before he left, Ester and the 5 beauties spend the last 5 years rehabilitating Mae into a 'human'. She can now walk and speak.
-The beauties often fight over who get to sleep with the 'vegetable body' keeping in mind that the tools down there still work perfectly.
-The non-pregnant beauties ended up getting pregnant as well...
-After giving birth, the beauties kept going at it and now each have 3 babies. (Michael now have 'figuratively' 16 children)
-Only Ester who got a beautiful baby boy which is now 4 years old named 'Karsten' refuse to sleep with prince Quynn's body until her Master come back. (Karsten mean one who's blessed)
-Kasa and Shade now have 12 kids in total. Six born recently and have yet to start eating solid food.
-The King is still ruling in Michael's name following his directives faithfully.
-New Heaven now have 1,1millions inhabitants and new smaller towns have started popping everywhere through the territory. They still have to come to the capital once a month to give their mana as tribute.
-Thorodan rarely come out of the underground city and seem to have built himself a harem down there. They already produced a few hundred eggs which will take a few hundreds years to hatch.
-Thank to the 'Prosperity day' tradition, the city is now in the middle of a natality burst. (Many parks and daycare centers have started popping up in the city to keep up with demands.) The blessed guards seem to be the preferred progenitors to the elven women in the city which explain that the city now have around 100,000 Dark elf baby/children.
