Causing Selphie to then adorably smile after noticing this before then gently rubbing his back and Bradley to then continue.

"As for right now? I should go to both answer and explain those distress calls, along with reassuring Aldra and the others.."

"I'll be leaving you in the hands of Lady Selphine and the others at least my heart decides to override my judgment that is? I'll be sure to check up on you as soon as I can so for now rest and regain your strength!"

Bradley reassuringly encouraged causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod before then surprisingly hugging Bradley surprising him before then being cut off.

"I.. I love daddy.. and daddy's right! Au-Auel just needs rest!"

The young prince strangely confessed before then reassuringly kissing Bradley's cheek surprising him before then noticing something and helplessly nodding.

After Bradley had left the young prince had quickly frowned once more before then returning to The Celestial Palace followed by Selphie, Iva, Lilly, and Molly after reuniting with the young prince while Aurora browsed the festival.

All the while Sylvia had soon returned to the young prince's birthday to speak with Kethryllia and everyone else's mommies.

Having wanted to do so for quite a while now and now finally had her chance especially now when the last thing the young prince needed was to be crowded.

While this was happening she was soon joined by both Ayla and Katie who had adventured on their own much as Annie had done with the others.

Up until they had accidentally stumbled upon Edar's supposed reinforcements of ten assassins matching the Assassins Edar had worked with.

Before then subsequently killed all seven men while Ayla stopped Katie from killing the three young girls who wore similar attire since as the queen of light she required servants!

Resulting in both proudly telling such a tale however greatly over-exaggerated while Sylvia had immediately taken the three young girls away having known about what happened to Molly.

Before then taking all three to her dreamworld followed by Katie who had insisted on ongoing.

While Ayla now both shamelessly and tearily pouted having lost her three newly acquired servants before then being comforted by the joint effort of Boveen, Kethryllia, Sansa.

All the while The Celestial Capital Royal Guard were left utterly confused having already been on the scenes of all three incidents and wondered why The Temple of Celestia allowed these people who would have normally been stopped at the borders.

And subsequently suppressed and arrested for their involvement, they had already been made aware of it all through their own vetting and even went along with the traitor Celestial Elder's request of allowing them into the city.

Having been ordered to by The Temple prior to even their arrival on the continent from Polis and to withhold such information making many of the upper echelons and even the High Lord Commander of The Capital Royal Guard.

Which was at best was an honorary title for a celestial royal guard commander to then helplessly sigh having had known this was all already expected and she just had to 'simply' play her part.

Which greatly unnerved her having dedicated her life to preventing such instances just to be told that Lady Celestia is cleaning house of all things?

And now she's suddenly invited to The Celestial Prince's Birthday after running into Bradley and Theodore for some odd reason?

All the while after returning to the young prince's room and getting comfortable, it didn't take much for both Molly and the young prince to then for either to start crying for the next few minutes or so until finally calming down and using this time to recollect themselves.

While Lilly both helplessly hugged Molly from behind followed by Selphie doing the same for the young prince after both had finally stopped clinging to each other.

Causing the young prince to then angrily pout after hearing from Molly of what had transpired on her end! Especially about the part where the Elder and Assassins from the same Sanctum tried to take her away along with being insulted.

Causing the young prince who had hated what happened to then immediately burst out with anger having nearly lost Molly along with her being called awful things.

And him being cursed by some void bully who wanted to ruin his birthday and hurt both him and Molly even if he didn't really understand the difference between realms? What child would? Causing him to then angrily frown.

"Molly's not deluded or a disgusting creature! And if they want to hurt Molly again.. Aurel will make them all go away! They're disgusting creatures, not Molly! Molly isn't deluded.. they are!"

"I-If they try to take Molly again.. Aurel will cheat and take away Polis! I-If the void wants to hurt Molly and anyone who's precious to Aurel.."

"I'll make it go away forever! I-I won't hurt Tillie.. bu-but Aurel can't take it anymore! I-I hate assassins who hurt Molly! I hate them! And I won't let them hurt my Molly ever again!"

"If they or anyone insults Molly's pain I'll hurt them! N-No one hurts or insults m-my Molly! Mol-Molly is a Cel-Celestial Princess! An-And the princesses in stories have happy endings!"

The young prince angrily cried having now genuinely felt hate on both Molly's behalf and his own all the while expelling it by using the most effective means possible which was pouts! Angry pouts!

However, now it was a mixture of tears and borderline yelling amplified by him immediately reverting to his original form.

Followed by now bloody teary and uniquely crimson eyes much like they were when he was 'completely' overwhelmed with negative emotions before.

All the while completely resembling Silas's which would make sense especially since he did have The Dark Elf Royal Bloodline which he never truly used.

Resulting in it also being quite angry having been forced to be a third wheel while every other bloodline skipped ahead of it.

Ultimately resulting in it having made do with Dark Elf Eyes and bloody tears something Dark Elves rarely did unless placed under incredible distress and rarely ever seen in Dark Elves, especially the royals.

Due to them actually being an incredibly rare magical material even rarer and more potent than mermaid tears which had many medical uses.

However, unlike mermaid tears it could be used in irreversible and incurable poisons since you'd never know whose eyes they came from.

As for royals, their tears no doubt the secret cure meaning it simply overrides it while also having plenty of 'other' uses be it infused in a variety of bloodwines and many other 'unknown' uses as well!

Causing both Selphie and Lilly having witnessed such things themselves to then pause especially after hearing the young prince's underlined threats.

Which was in fact quite terrifying since their precious celestial teddy bear 'could' in fact back up his words and terrifyingly so.

Especially if he was pushed to such lengths, worrying even more since if he truly wished for Polis to disappear he wouldn't even have to unsuppress himself to make that happen.

All the while Molly immediately panicked having not known this and instead used her own experiences gained by watching over the sick kids in the assassin sanctuary.

Resulting in something subsequently clicking that the young prince was suffering from quite possibly a brain hemorrhage that some of the younger children had suffered and even died from making it also quite common.

Before then immediately grabbing the most expensive-looking healing potion she could find.

Surprising all three before then being cut off causing Molly to then both immediately and reassuringly pouring it into the young prince's mouth and quickly hugging the young prince's head with an adorably teary expression.

"Shut up! Yo-You can't do any of those things if you're dead! Promises are meaningless if you don't live to keep them!"

"An-And sometimes if you do it'll be too late because you would have missed it all! S-So shut up, don't talk, and heal! Au-Aurel's my only true friend left and I can't lose you to something as stupid as this!"

"I love you so please just heal! I-I can't lose you like the others! Sel-Selphie please tell me he isn't going to die?! Yo-You're a goddess?! I-I'll promise to make as many sacrifices as you want if you heal hi-"

Molly worriedly begged surprising everyone once more before then being cut off causing Selphie to then reassuringly shake her head.

"So precious! You're thinking too much into it! Our precious celestial teddy bear is a Dark Elf Royal which means when he's under severe distress emotionally this happens! So it's not a hemorrhage, if it was that second life potion would have saved him already!"

"Not to mention I'd never ask for sacrifices! Any god that does is either bored like Lily or too weak to be anything else but pestful bullies!"

"No real god needs sacrifices! It's just a stupid stereotype and a reason for Demigods to get more snacks!"

Selphie adorably explained surprising Molly causing her to then worriedly look down to the now happily confused young prince.

Having loved before then tearily sighing however that's until a drifting memory came to light of her 'trainers' mentionings of a god they served.

"Lo-Lord Lukwum.. tha-that's the name of that monster god.. h-he knew my blood was special an-and he stole my mana for it! Bu-But he couldn't take my blood an-and gave me a blessing.."

"An awful blessing that Holly 'returned' to him.. sh-she said he was a demigod?! S-So a demigod.. that monster wasn't a true god? Th-Then I'll be able to kill him?"

Molly terrifyingly remembered causing surprising all three after hearing her intentions.

Especially Lilly after hearing the name for the first time causing both the young prince and Selphie to then hesitantly shake her head before then being cut off.

"Lukwum isn't a true demigod.. he was once a banished Demon Lord from a now 'dead' demon race that I'll leave unnamed, however, during The Void Era he was removed and exiled"

"After being crippled due to him trying to trade a girl with a purer royal bloodline and the daughter of a Demon Empress to the Void for part of the ransom despite being her loved uncle.."

"He had so stupidly allowed the Void to infiltrate and attempted to have a Demon King to assist him in such a thing.. unfortunately even if The Demon King hated The Demon Empress he had great respect for her"

"And since demons value bloodlines above all else he went along with it and after getting his 'rewards' The Empress herself had immediately appeared moments later.."

"And killed the two Void Lords all the while crippling, castrating, torturing and even borrowing the flames from the abyss to torture his soul before then being disowned by all the demon races and tossed out of a sky castle.."

"Unfortunately, it went along with a 'minor' Void God's plan and he had been saved?"

Lilly playfully explained having known of this poor fool's existence surprising all three before then being cut off and Lilly to then quickly continue as if wanting to throw this all out here so she wouldn't have to explain it again.

"And even given a crude pseudo demigod template that had copied the sealed Abyssal Lords in some regards meaning he's not and still isn't a true demigod so he can't receive offerings or represent any god.."

"The minor Void God might have been killed by Lady Satela for disrupting her 'well' thought out plans leaving him still banished and even hunted by both sides.."

"So to put it simply now he's a pathetically self-loathing creature just trying to just 'get' by now.. he knew of your royal bloodline and hoped to profit from it"

"He could have only sent you here as to send you 'home' in the hopes of doing Celes a 'favor' strangely enough.. If anything he is just a fool who lost everything for a simple profiting scheme with no 'real' ill intentions.."

"And even probably thought he could gain influence and some profit by selling your mana for implementation into another princess.. but due to him not properly micromanaging I can see why everything happened as it did.."

"In truth, he isn't worth killing and isn't entirely to be blamed? The assassins you saw today were probably those offered jobs.."

Lilly honestly speculated causing both Milly and the young prince to then immediately go momentarily numb by how simple it was to Lily causing Selphie to then helplessly smile and Lily to then finally finish her long-winded explanation.

"And probably by the same lesser void lord who orchestrated this all for lowly bragging rights while Celes is probably waiting for enough damage for 'proper' reparations so she could just gain some new void blight"

"Or something useless like that? Now that I've offered you the most simple truth.. think of this as a gift or whatever you want! But.."
