"Aurel.. you needn't remind me about how much you love the others.. and you shouldn't feel like your betraying them or dismissing them in any way by wanting to see both entirely new cultures and the new faces that come along with them.."
"I shouldn't confuse my previous intentions in my youth to your own!"
"You're your own man! A man who 'may' have inherited 'some' of your more 'cultured' taste from your father.. I apologize in advance! Speaking of fathers.. I've never mentioned mine to you and the others before?"
"This is the best time of any I suppose? Where should I start.. right! His name was King Virum Lacerus Claret Vale.. telling by the name he was formerly a Prince of The Kingdom of Lacerus!"
Bradley playfully reassured surprising the young prince and causing Bradley to then playfully nod.
"I may have inherited some of my more cultured taste from him.. what you may not know yet is that The Kingdom of Lacerus is quite unique as in the former Kings and Queens had multiple and sometimes exotic 'mates'.."
"My father's mother was an Imperial Dragoness Princess.."
"I 'heard' it was a 'one' time thing and since he was a male she left him with his father.. she had no interest in raising children with an exception if it was a girl.. unbeknownst to her his royal bloodline was only 'slightly' deluded"
"Due to the simple fact that his father also had a deluded royal bloodline belonging to the Dragons from his mother.. so in essence, he 'was' still a Pureblooded Dragon and also a Prince belonging to The Draconic Empire.."
Bradley helplessly explained surprising the young prince causing Bradley to then gently run his fingers through the young prince's hair.
"From what I heard his mother couldn't care less and ignored this.. however, 'her' mother hadn't and kept tabs on him.."
"All the while my father resented his mother and refused to even visit The Draconian Empire.. my father was both strong and kind however he had to face the fact that his mother.."
"The same mother who he had inherited her looks.. strength and blood from had wanted nothing to do with him.. a man without a mother will always hurt in some way.."
"Fortunately, his father's other 'wives' some of who 'also' had deluded but nonroyal Dragon bloodlines decided to serve as proper replacements.."
Bradley gently explained surprising the young prince and causing Bradley to then hesitantly nod.
"Dragonesses Royals or not have always had strong maternal instincts and cared very much for their children so after it came out that his mother practically 'abandoned' him"
"Despite even more reason not to because of what he had inherited from her they were naturally disgusted by her behavior having seemingly abandoned her child.."
"However after his father had 'mysteriously' died after leaving the throne to one of my father's siblings the truth came out.. apparently it was the reason why his mother had done the things she had.. devastating my father.."
"Resulting in my father going to visit his mother and begging for forgiveness.."
"Not for his father but for himself having seen her in a fake light for so many years and wanted her in his life, surprisingly enough after such begging, gifting, and finally attempting to cripple his mana she broke.."
"Having the maternal instincts that she forcefully sealed away at a painful cost finally overwhelm her before then surprisingly giving him a few slaps and breaking down as well"
"I can't say what truly happened before though because you're still far too young to hear such things and you're a good boy so I needn't worry about such things coming from you.."
Bradley warmly explained causing the young prince to the adorably and righteous salute causing Bradley to then playfully shake his head.
"And just in case you were wondering my full name with titles is Celestial King Bradley Lacerus Claret Vale.."
"The same goes for both Annie, Amber, and Bradley so our subtitles would include Prince and Princesses of The Kingdom of Lacerus and The Draconian Empire.. that would also explain Amber's temper and Annie's maternal instincts.."
"The same would also apply to you and the others of course! However, seeing as I don't have any real connection to either.."
"Those titles are similar to something neat you may have inherited? I'll also let you in on a 'little' secret.. the reason 'why' I and Colin were able to sneak into both The Ophidian and Draconian Empires.."
"Were because both of us had inherited a similar title.. and when it finally comes to your coronation as a Celestial Prince your name will get even longer"
Bradley proudly teased surprising the young prince even more causing the young prince's eyes to then adorably sparkle with excitement.
Before then excitedly hugging Bradley causing Bradley to then playfully shake his head.
Before then hugging the young prince even tighter before then beginning a bonding session having finally been able to allow his surprisingly fragmented boy side to leak out.
