Celes wore an extravagant yet ancient celestial-inspired golden dress and boots complimenting her pristine platinum blonde hair.
Bright soothing ethereal golden eyes, pristine white skin, and adorable yet celestial features.
All of which matched beautifully and radiated the purest ethereal golden light giving her an immense yet overwhelming beautiful and surprisingly holy charm.
However surprisingly enough other than these small changes Celes hadn't changed too much of her appearance and only incorporated more of her godly aspects and unsuppressed form if only slightly?
Having just had the most fun she had as of late with a new void toy causing Celes to then playfully shake her head.
"To think you'd already have your list and so soon no less? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed in you 'little' Auri.. despite 'my' own normal antics I believe it's better we actually talk about such things?"
"Along with Ignoring the way I'm talking to you.. I 'know', I know but it's to keep 'up' with appearances!"
"And I won't even ask why a 'supposedly' long-dead princess of the tarts was suddenly on your lap? Anyways let's talk alone on the balcony?"
"It seems that's where everyone takes you for talks like this? Plus If it means I can avoid any awkward questions I'd be thrilled!"
Celes playfully teased causing the young prince to then happily become teary before then excitingly hugging Celes to the fullest.
Having missed her along with the effects of the wine making him quite giddy surprising Celes and causing her to then playfully sigh and help him from falling backwards.
"Mera, Noel, Rory, Tum, Mela, Garnet, Ginger and.. wow I thought Elisabet and Stella would be here too? I suppose they will be eventually? No matter, I guess it doesn't really matter? I'll be snatching our precious 'little' Aurel!"
Celes playfully yawned before then simply picking up the young prince with little to no effort as the young prince had done with Mela and walk away surprising everyone and causing Mera to then gently sigh.
Before then continuing where the young prince left off by brushing the confused and angry Mela's hair and tail.
Causing both Rory and Noel to then adorably look to each other now that Lady Celestia had for some reason had randomly picked up the young prince.
And ran off somewhere causing Noel to then adorably sigh and Mera to then gently shake her head.
"I'd imagine I could let you girls into a 'little' secret? Little Auri can 'sense' emotions and despite an already impressive feat he can all but separately tell when someone's lying, fortunately, the blood wine's effects despite not truly impairing such abilities?
"Or perhaps because he trusted in his big sister and decided to ignore such things this time? From what he told me his 'royal' bloodlines have apparently always troubled him especially when he 'used' to believe it was normal?"
"The issue being he has so many and having so many 'royal' bloodlines coupled with their natural abilities that are instilled within him at birth has caused him to lag behind in quite a few areas?"
"So please do keep that in mind when he's acting strange and trust in his reactions?"
Mera gently teased surprising everyone causing Noel to then worriedly nod and Rory to then freeze.
Having remembered being taught about bloodlines by Aldra, Selphie, Inari, and even Bradley and Annie when she was slightly younger than the young prince.
Having had begun training and her education early, however, due to Rory's hesitation and not feeling ready her training was only half complete.
As compared to Noel's when she was that age, fortunately, she had still learned much of the basics and foundations.
Before then purposely slowing down and focusing on both Elisabet and the baby young prince after missing so much resulting in Aldra and Bradley postponing such things and choosing to soothe her in to it.
Causing Rory who had known of bloodlines but not clearly enough to then unknowingly become teary especially since she had similar bloodline abilities.
Having blamed herself for not listening to mommy and the others surprising everyone causing Noel to then worriedly feel Rory's head before then being cut off.
"I-I need to talk to mommy.. b-but first big sister Noel please teach me with mommy again! I-I'll join Aurel's training! I-I can't keep training alone! Mom-Mommy told me about bloodlines but I-I didn't listen and now Aurel is hurting!"
"I-I need to be better! I-I want to be like Noel! An-And mommy Kethryllia! An-And mommy, Emilia, and big sister Mera too! I-I need to be better for brother and sisters! I-I want to be the biggest sister!"
Rory tearily confessed having now wanted to help both the young prince and Stella and even Octavia, Scarlet, and Elisabet for that matter!

Surprising both Mera and Noel causing Mera to then gently nod and Noel to then excitedly hug Rory having really wanted to teach the young prince, Rory, and Stella together along with even snatching Elisabet to do the same!
All the while at the always empty and convenient balcony opposite to the previous one overlooking the crowds rather than the sparkling stars and the beautiful shining capital in all its glory causing Celes to then immediately close the doors.
And conjuring up a similar golden couch identical to her own before then lazily laying down and looking to the stars.
Causing the young prince to then adorably nod before then adorably squeezing himself into her arms causing her to then adorably yawn.
"So warm and cute.. I don't believe we've had any alone time since 'that' incident. And sorry about my late arrival.. I've had a 'lot' of frustration and that cute little lesser void lord was all I needed!"
"Seriously, she makes me feel like a lustful celestial serpent! Make sure that 'Satara' fulfills her 'gift' or promise and get one for you as well! Trust me when you're 'old' enough you'd love every minute of it!"
"That also goes for you in a few years with me as well? Oh and I almost forgot that 'Klarine' as well. Thinking of which I'm thinking about 'raising' the restriction to seven and seven?"
"Seven consorts should be enough along with Klarine's 'tricks' I suppose?
"No matter! I've actually looked forward to spoiling you even if it's for a moment. But before I get into gifts I believe it's time for a lecture?"
"I won't be too harsh.. so ignore my hypocrisy! Before you decide on anything I believe you should hear this!"
Celes adorably wanted having had a lot to say and so little time surprising the young prince causing him to then adorably nod.
And wrapping her arms around him causing Celes to then adorably smile before then calming down and continuing!
"Despite Aldra and the others already teaching you such things I believe I should add my own unique perspective? What do you believe happens when you engage someone or ask someone to be your consort?"
"Of course, Aldra would never force such a thing even for you but what if that wasn't the case?"
"Girls aren't tools, items, or trophies to be possessed? I know the irony of me saying this is quite entertaining however I'm a goddess so I have an excuse and reasons for doing such things! What of yours?"
"Aldra and the others have already taught you how to treat girls? Do you consider such treatment in your own decisions?"
"What if a consort changes their mind and no longer agrees to such things? I highly doubt that would happen but what if it had? And what if the girl has no choice in the matter or feels forced to? What then?"
Celes curiously asked surprising the young prince having had not put much thought into it, especially while still being under the effects of the bloodwine before then becoming guiltily teary.
"It'll be the equivalent of you or one of your sisters being forced into an awful marriage they'd never want? To be used as toys and tools of influence?"
"I realize I'm being quite harsh and I honestly wouldn't mind either way if you did such things, however, I must know if I should worry about future incidents relating to such? I don't believe it's required but the tiny bit of hesitation won't leave me-"
Celes worriedly finished having wanted to know what the young prince would do with one hundred percent honestly before then being cut off causing the young prince to then adorably flip over to face.
Surprising her at the adorably devastated and sobbing expression surprising her even more before then being cut off once more causing the young prince to then tearily hug her as much as he could.
"I-I'm so sorry! Aurel didn't think! I-I.. Aurel doesn't want to force! I-I just want everyone happy! Aur-Aurel doesn't want to lose them.. bu-but Aurel won't force! I-I love Celes!"
"I.. I love you so much! If someone took Celes away Aurel would cry.. I-I don't want Celes to go away!"
"I-I don't want mommies or sisters to go away! I-I want to play in the garden with mommy and sisters like we always do!"
"I-I'll train and learn in the morning an-and in the garden but I want to.. Aurel misses Celes! An-And Selphie and sisters! I-I don't want anything to change!"
The young prince adorably cried having wanted to tell Celes everything surprising her before then reassuringly nodding and gently wiping away his tears having suspected he had no actual plan or put much thought into such arrangements.
However, all the while remaining true to Aldra's and the others' teachings despite no one actually attempting to intervene most likely believing it was temporary causing Celes to then reprimandingly frown.
Having wanted to slap Bradley for not warning her precious holy consort of such things despite him most likely being the reason for her precious consort's actions!
Did Bradley truly expect her precious follower to not observe his father? Bradley had a list and now her precious follower has a list!
Plus Bradley deliberately left out a bunch of names knowing damn well any actual list would amount to anything more than twenty-five names and quite possibly even more!
Causing Celes to then helplessly calm down hoping to slap Bradley after this before then adorably kissing the young prince's cheeks repeatedly surprising him causing him to then tearily giggle.
After the adorably kissing session, Celes couldn't help but hold the young prince a few moments before then gently rubbing her nose against his.
Having seen Marjorie do the same and thought it was strangely cute having also wanted to pull out all the stops while she could.
Causing the young prince to then adorably giggle even more before then feeling Celes's face and adorably kissing her face all over and hugging her even tighter causing Celes to then adorably laugh.
"I'm going to snatch you later tonight! As for your answers, I expected as much! I blame Bradley for this! Not to mention you might have two more sisters because of that fool perhaps even more! So frustrating! But back to that later?"
"As for some 'friendly' advice sometimes 'force' is the answer, perhaps it'll be 'truly' needed and often even seen as a better choice as to get rid of an ill fate perhaps?"
Celes adorably confessed having quite possibly hinted at something more or even perhaps expressing her own preference?
Causing the young prince to then adorably kiss her cheek and happily nod even if he was uncertain what it truly meant, however, that was still enough of a warning for the young prince to be careful and Celes to then happily continue!
"So I'll allow a minor exception? That being an honorary title for four girls using your title as The Holy Celestial Emperor as an anchor?"
"I was also thinking of considering it a lesser holy consort title and an extension from me and you much like that Klarine's own deal?"
"We'll think more about that later and since I highly doubt there would be 'that' many girls we'll just use it as a safety net? Now enough of this!"
"It's time for gifts! Now before I pamper you I'll be quick to also give you even more 'friendly' advice! Accept Klarine's offer, and agree to Drusilla's discipleship or whatever she's offering!"
"Trust me having direct connections to those two will save you one day!"
Celes excitedly confessed having felt that time was far tp short and wanted to just get through this without having to stop time essentially taking away from the true experience!
Causing the young prince to then happily nod and Celes to then smile before then quickly conjuring up an extravagant table.
Before then both effortlessly placing and organizing many extravagantly golden and holy space rings onto the table along with well-detailed lists!
