"I'm not very experienced with such matters, unlike magic I've never had any romantic feelings or perhaps as Bradley says it, dates or experience with the opposite sex aside from magic?"
"However despite how it all began, you had always remained on my mind, even if at times you were but flickers of inspiration?"
"However, I'm afraid I'm unable to truly express how I truly feel through words alone, however much like new magic, one should always make an attempt?"
Colin warmly unleashed.
"Lady Gora.. I'm deeply captivated with not only you but that of your magic as well, however, your demands lacked true commitment.."
"So as someone who prefers to fulfill such matters, it'll only be right that I do so in your place?"
"Over time I feared it may have been a ruse, however even if that was the case.. I would say and do as I will now. Lady Gora, will you marry me and bring forth a new generation of magic by my side?"
Colin warmly proposed, leaving Gora in a surprising but temporary stupor.. however, Gora being Gora quickly composed herself.
Before then nodding and allowing him to place the priceless elemental obsidian, and sacred diamond space ring that looked to be created by a divine onto her finger.
However, unlike Colin, she wasn't at such a stage resulting in her ultimately placing the golden counterpart which was also made by a divine smith onto his finger.
Before then both straightforwardly and immediately pulling him into a very passionate kiss that lasted for quite a few moments.
Until finally after retracting her lips, only now seeing the same stupor from Colin to then satisfyingly smile.
All the while immediately activating her orb and contacting her mother leaving no room for changing his mind! Now that she had what she had always dreamed of, she's going to ensure she keeps it in a cruel dragoness fashion.
Colin after containing such feelings to then curiously nod with warm smile while waiting for Kassandra to answer, however, it seemed Gora had been put on hold resulting in him revealing the relic surprising her before then ultimately nodding.
Unfortunately, it seemed Avery may have done the impossible resulting in after confirming via the crystal screen.
And inputting both of their mana into such a relic, the relic soon became unstable and began floating mid-air until finally it burst into a brilliant light and revealed that of a baby girl..
Shocking both to new extents since not only had they felt their mana within her but their bloodlines as well?! This was lunacy!
What and how did it even become remotely possible?! What did Mother Avery do to make it so?! However, it seemed none of that mattered now..
Causing Colin's eyes to sparkle as if he found new magic! And after he had carefully covered her in a soft white cloth and handed her to Gora who after several loving moments paused..
"She doesn't count as a part of our deal! And since you had already agreed.. I'd like two more"
"However, the requirement now is that those will have to be conceived in a natural way, and born from myself. I will not be cheated out of those things by that woman!"
Gora indifferently reminded, causing Colin to then warmly nod, not truly caring how many she truly wanted, however unlike Bradley it's highly unlikely that he'll mate with any other women.
Unfortunately for both, it seemed that the timing in itself was quite odd, revealing the fact that after Colin had agreed just moments ago a screen had appeared..
It seemed Kassandra had finally answered and now looked onto such a sight.. which in itself despite being quite comical truly wasn't for either.
Especially after knowing Kassandra had the ability to sense such things through the crystal screen resulting in her ultimately frowning.
All the while back with the young prince, Octavia had finally managed to get a single sky castle however they were quite rare so aside from Aubrey getting a massive fleet numbering in five hundred, and a ten thousand mage puppet legion.
While Rory got a starlight silver crown, attire, dress, boots, jewelry, clothing, and female necessities from a single set, while still waiting for the real auction.
As for Bradley himself, he was soon informed of all that had transpired, albeit not Colin's unique situation it seems.
Resulting in Talia now being in the infirmary with Holly while Theodore had chosen to visit the scene of the wreckage until finally, he got a mental message from Colin..
Surprising him to no end! Before then activating his orb revealing that of Colin and a baby girl.
Surprising everyone and the young prince causing his eyes to then adorably sparkle in excitement since he hadn't played with a baby before! While Rory herself couldn't wait to do it again!
All the while Bradley couldn't help proudly nod with some hints of tears.
"Brother Colin.. I'm so very proud of you! Does mother know?! And how are you faring?"
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
"After recent news, I would've never imagined you'd visit Gora let alone the fact that you had a child! You can't imagine how happy I am for you two! Everyone would no doubt be ecstatic at such news!"
"Melly won't! However, I'd imagine I'll be able to keep her distracted long enough or do something equally upsetting to offset such news-"
Bradley happily congratulated before then ultimately being cut off by the sight of a terrifying Gora and of Kassandra on another screen all the while the young prince happily whispered into his daddy's ear wanting to make the baby a gift!
Before then immediately noticing mommy Kassandra causing his eyes to then adorably sparkle even more.
While both Aubrey and Octavia watched with some curiosity, all the while causing Rory having taken this chance to focus on her little brother to then do just that!
"I missed mommy Kassandra and big brother Colin so much! Mommy Kassandra and big sister dragoness have the cutest babies!"
The young prince excitedly confessed, causing Colin to then curiously nod and Kassandra to then slightly nod.'
While Gora indifferently paused wondering who that child was. In truth, despite appearances, she had never kept track or cared very much for the children let alone knowledge of children of others.
Meaning to her she hadn't known Bradley had any children, let alone anyone else aside from her mother, and perhaps Klarine and Kethryllia unless she had met them previously.
The reasoning for this again was that.. she simply didn't care and it wasn't very important in the scheme of things.. or rather simply hers?
While as after the mentioning of Melly she simply didn't care for trash, let alone who's child that was on the other screen causing Kassandra having sensed this to then slightly frown before then looking to the young prince with very little interest.
"Young Aurelius, it seems you've proven to indeed be quite adequate, to be able to gain such favor of that aspect is indeed a noteworthy achievement, as is also your current progress and that of your sealing"
"As for the matter relating to Lady Frotsma, she has also made it known to me that she considers you a noteworthy student and disciple, making me your senior, unfortunately outside of such formalities I'd prefer such things are kept separate"
"If you truly wish to follow my guidelines and retain such rights, then you're free to do so, however with this comes another? We will speak of such matters another time, it's also indeed sufficient to see young Bradley spending time with his children, I 'expect' young Colin to do the very same"
Kassandra thoroughly explained before then indirectly side-eyeing Gora resulting in the screen soon disappearing elsewhere while Gora herself cared very little about such things, aside from her mother's words.
Unfortunately for such words, Gora had hoped to conceive a child as soon as possible having still felt as if she had been cheated, and ragefully so..
Of course, she didn't feel such things towards her 'child' who was unnaturally born, she simply wished to 'naturally' conceive and give birth and hated that had been taken from her, she dreamed to have such an experience with solely Colin.
It was the equivalent of marrying someone and having all of the fun in between so viciously snatched, how could one accept such a fate?!
She couldn't even nurse this child! Resulting in the unintentional effect of her becoming even angrier, vicious, and bloodthirsty.
The only real reason she hadn't acted up was solely that she 'still' very much had said opportunities.
Not to mention she now had a child now it seems? She hadn't even arranged the nursery.. she couldn't even provide her first daughter anything at a moment's notice, she hated not being prepared.
Resulting in Colin after noticing to then curiously nod before then gently handing their yet-to-be-named daughter to Gora and revealing that he had in fact prepared in her place.
In truth, he had always thought of such a possibility, and after confirming Gora's intentions.
He had immediately got to work, be it from the obsidian black artisan-grade crib, nursery, mage-fit clothing, bathing suits, bottles, baby necessities, brushes, mirrors, and toys.
And children's story books, magic for babies, how to craft a staff baby edition, how to detect mana baby edition, and so much more.
All in a single space ring, he was quite a perfectionist and that combined with that of being an Artisan, and God of Magic ultimately resulted in there being much more comical yet extremely useful items.
Be it how to inscribe inscriptions and magewreaths baby edition, and dark age inscriptions and magewreaths on quite literally everything he had crafted, sewed, and wrote, to the point it was simply absurd.
Surprising Gora to how truly passionate and prepared he truly was, anticipating quite literally anything was no doubt one of his many charms, ultimately easing her non-displayed worry with a simple nod.
Soon enough after speaking to Colin and looking to their precious baby girl whose name was now that of Imperial Princess Galen Vale Claret.
They had soon spoken of the shadow shenanigans resulting in the special tactics unit of The Celestial Pact ultimately focusing on such matters.
While as after the communications had ended the young prince tearfully looked to Colin's gift that had quite literally fallen through Gora's rift and hit him on the head..
"Bi-Big bully.."
The young prince adorably pouted causing Rory to then worriedly pout while both Octavia and Aubrey worriedly checked his head, resulting in Bradley after doing the same reassuringly shaking his head.
All the while still waiting for more sky castles to appear on the auction floor.
Causing the young prince to then curiously open his gift causing his eyes to then adorably sparkle after noticing it was a ring box and seeing that it was a pretty void golden ring! Soon enough he had noticed there were three spirit crystals.
One with four glowing red eyes, another with six, and finally another with nine?
Resulting in him curiously conjuring up the one with the four dots before then adorably looking into it as if a mana crystal.
Before then noticing they were in fact squinted eyes that looked quite annoyed and closed as if not wanting to deal with him.
Causing the young prince to then adorably pout before then putting it back into the ring and adorably grabbing the six-eyed one?
Unfortunately after looking into it, he was bombarded with words he didn't understand but felt were very bad words!
Causing him to then adorably ignore what sounded bad like bad words and instead decided to adorably listen to why she was so upset..
Causing him to then ultimately nod after putting very little together?
It seemed life wasn't fair and instead of being sad, she wanted to destroy everything and everyone all the while being a spirit. What a bully spirit! Didn't she already die once? Why did she have to be a bully?
Resulting in Jade curiously nodding.
"Pssst! Bestie! Let me take a look!"
Jade happily whispered causing the young prince to then adorably send his gift his bestie's way so she could play it further while adorably rubbing his head.
Soon enough, after finally waiting some time, The Pretty Pink Elf Auctionior who had volunteered to be his attendant previously was apparently an assistant manager under that of a certain Sea Elf?
Resulting in her now fulfilling her normal duties.
That was of course being everyone's Cherry Blossom Elf auctioneer!
"Congratulations to those who won, while those of whom that lost should never be discouraged! The items are plentiful so you needn't ever worry! Everyone will be bound to win something they truly desire, now onto the next set of items!"
Lady Cherry happily reassured before then signaling the curtains to be opened and revealing the next set!
The set would include Three Sets of Five Sky Castles, Five Sets of Three Sky Towers, and Ten Sets of Five Sky-Grade Incarnations since apparently, the sky towers themselves didn't include them.
