Albeit she didn't birth many of them despite the false rumors rather simply asked The Goddess of Serpents to do it herself since that was 'her' job so she could raise her real daughters no matter how hypocritical it sounded.
Causing Jade having already known all of this and along with Klarine herself to then teasingly grin meaning she had a distinct expression after her dearest bestie copied the template itself to then immediately pass it onto her favorite little sister!
Even Void Lords would freeze at the sight of a Leviathan! Resulting in most even being associated by one generally getting the same protection as a Demigod knowing there was a chance a terrifyingly Titanic Leviathan would slap them.
Their ancestral home, and their people with a lazy stroke of their tail and build a city over them for laughs!
Fortunately Leviathan were especially rare not because they died out rather they built their own underwater worlds in random caves, seas, and volcanoes!
And simply didn't care or for those who did stay were warned by the local demigods if not their gods to not become a menace and since Leviathans didn't have Divine Power they'd simply shrugged.
And only ever did so when 'intentionally' provoked or insulted in a public setting as to give them any excuse to do so! Or perhaps just to get reparations and maybe a free castle?
In any case, those who did so usually found out later that their family relics had mysteriously vanished!
Causing Jade having loved the Leviathans for their amazing personalities to then happily hug all three.
"Klarine would be so proud! Hey, fireflies take notes! As for you three with the bloodline my bestie had given you.. Kassandra would sooner stomp on your ash and even punish my bestie if you three don't get it together! My bestie gifted you The Bloodline of Black Dragon of Destruction so Kassandra would no doubt be 'upset' if he had wasted it on you three!"
"He is the only one Lady Kayda felt deserved her 'original' bloodline so if you waste it and disgrace his gift even she'd react! Get my bestie in trouble with those two and I'd turn your ash into a vase?"
"Or maybe a crystal? Right! You three have crystals too so they'd be perfect ornaments for those vases! Thinking of vases, I'm going to make some now! Starla! Leyana! Teach these two your Elemental Magic!"
"If you can't, just 'gift' them at your discretion! Leyana was right, gifts aren't cheating! Since even they'll have to take time absorbing it all anyways!"
Jade teasingly suggested before then happily returning to her room to both finish her bath and make vases, goblets, pitchers, and even silverware! All of which will be comparable to Elyris's mask since apparently Divine Artisans really do too much.
All the while 'that' was apparently happening both Starla and Leyana nodded causing Starla to be the first to start this lesson!
Surprising everyone before then immediately being cut off causing her to then immediately disappear and reappear in front of both the young prince and Stella.
Before then gently tapping their foreheads and simply 'gifting' them the knowledge as if not truly willing to do anything else before then conjuring up her throne and sitting down.
Surprising everyone by how lazy that truly was.. was Starla 'not' a Sacred Matriarch as well? How could she simply explain how impressive both her body and origins are just to do something so shameless?!
She had simply given both her knowledge as she 'was' when she was an Elemental Flame Dragon Lord meaning only the knowledge she had obtained before her transformation which was simply Legendary Elemental Flame Magic with a Draconian Charm?
Which in itself was quite precious since it was both uncorrupted and instilled with the laws of elemental fire which in itself was something extremely pure and could make any Legendary Mage sweat.
Most Legendary Mages use incomplete if not extremely deluded Elemetal Laws as compared to the original that could only ever be possessed by a select few races and the elementals themselves who had simply been born with them?
However, Starla had also gifted them another gift albeit it was both unrelated if not simply dangerous, she had quite literally sneaked some Sacred Knowledge of The Void and The Abyss something Lily had 'gifted' her.
In truth the reasoning for this was simple.. If they didn't attempt to 'earn' this knowledge by comprehending everything themselves then who knows.. they might stumble upon the knowledge of the Void first?
In any case, she had made it quite difficult by deliberately making the knowledge difficult to comprehend as in she had made sure they'd receive similar effects to that of abusing grimoires such as exhaustion, headaches, migraines, and even physical pain.
Albeit Grimoires would only ever exhaust your mind along with the occasional headache but for Starla, she had clearly felt it wasn't enough?
Causing the young prince after noticing this to then adorably tap on Stella's head to remove such deliberately placed difficulties.
Meaning she'd only ever be 'naturally' exhausted from such comprehension along with removing the unnecessary knowledge of The Abyss and The Void.
Since after all Stella had no real defenses for the Void! The young prince had at least been given both The Void Sequencing and Tillie's Void Gold Necklace to build up his defenses?

As for the knowledge of The Abyss.. It was indeed quite useless for her!
The young prince had only kept the knowledge involving languages so at least she'd have some goodies! Unfortunately for himself, he had simply accepted such difficulties since it would help him in the long run!
Causing the young prince after correcting everything to then immediately pout before then being cut off himself.
Causing Stella to then happily hug his arm while Leyana after also noticing the 'added' difficulties to then immediately look to Starla with an adorably threatening expression.
"That baby gecko needs to learn to take responsibility? And don't worry! Big sister matriarch will 'gift' you the knowledge, just without the unnecessary bullying! But I ask for one thing! Ask me questions and don't rush!
"And talk to me if you encounter difficulties! You're both Elves as well so you have mother Klarine's blood within you! The knowledge I'll give you won't only be that of The Elemental Water Serpent and its Elemental Law of Water but the knowledge of the Leviathans as well.."
"Unlike Celestial 'Dragons' and the special little forms that require you have to get blessings just to make it 'exclusive' Leviathans are similar; only a Leviathan that has both 'lived' and 'died' could truly awaken the same in others.."
Leyana gracefully confessed before then reassuringly winking causing both Stella's and the young prince's eyes to then immediately sparkle in amazement before then finally being cut off by a loving kiss on both of their foreheads.
Causing the young prince after immediately seeing both the template and its potential to then not so surprisingly freeze confusing Stella after noticing her big brother's surprised reaction.
And causing Leyana to then surprisingly smile in approval after instinctively feeling he had either saw something he had liked or saw something he shouldn't have?
Which was no doubt the true potential of Leviathans which meant he had either understood that or his serpent bloodline was active enough to recognize it even in small amounts.
Causing the young prince after calming down and noticing Leyana's reaction as well to then adorably nod.
Before then hesitantly pulling a bottle of Klarine's Bloodwine out of his spacing and handing it to her surprising her?
Before then curiously opening the cork and smelling it causing her to then surprisingly pause before then looking to the young prince causing him to then both adorably and righteous pout at such an injustice.
"Momm-Mommy Klarine told Aurel to drink it.. an-and Aurel loves mommy Klarine! B-But mommy Klarine is a bully an-and put venom in wine.."
The young prince hesitantly pouted surprising everyone and causing Leyana to then surprisingly giggle.
Especially at the fact that Klarine had actually thrown her own aphrodisiac venom which in itself was comparable to that of the venom of 'all' serpents including that of the Leviathans into Ancestral Bloodwine made of her own blood.
And had so shamelessly given it to quite literally a child of all people which no doubt gave her a good laugh causing Leyana after calming down to then adorably poke the young prince's forehead once more.
"I gave you a 'little' bonus since your Ophidian Royal Bloodline isn't 'completely' inactive! As for the Klarine's bloodline and it's venom I doubt she only gave it to you for a laugh?"
"Despite what 'others' may only think, Klarine's Venom not only compliments her Bloodwine but enhances it?"
"Adding two amazingly pure and precious ancestral gifts and combining them only shows how much she had planned ahead! From those memories that felt foreign to me even now?"
"Klarine isn't at all simple and everything I'd imagine you've seen of her isn't even a fragment of her real self? She's still lovable so please don't take it to heart!"
Leyana gracefully explained!
"Even if all the Leviathans were to be combined they would never be able to compare to her splendor, in her ten millennia I doubt she had ever given any more than twelve bottles of comparable wine!
"I'd suggest drinking it as it was intended even if you'd feel strange! The more you drink the more you'll be able to awaken your Ophidian Royal Bloodline! With that, you'd be able to make use of such knowledge-"
Leyana gracefully added before then surprisingly being cut off by the young prince adorably conjuring up another bottle and curiously condensing Klarine's bloodwine into a ball albeit he simply removed some of the water from the bloodline itself?
While still leaving 'some' as to still be able to drink it surprising everyone and causing even Starla to react with a curiously surprised yet blank expression as if her eyes told it all.
Before then finally being cut off herself by the young prince simply drinking it much like water-downed porridge surprising everyone even more causing Leyana to then quickly calm down.
Before then worriedly feeling the young prince's head followed by Stella and even a curious Starla who had quickly signaled for everyone else to return to their rings leaving only Leyana, Stella, Starla, and the now poor young prince who just now started to feel both the effects.
And 'consequence' of unintentionally making it incredibly potent despite only wishing to make it 'easier' to drink?
Resulting in the poor young prince having surprisingly forgotten the 'previous' bloodwine incident causing him after finally remembering with some hardship to then adorably freeze before then immediately becoming teary.
Causing Starla having had enjoyed seeing him make the 'same' mistake she had made albeit she had removed the venom, unlike the young prince, had done causing her to then surprisingly pick him up before then slightly shaking her head.
"Foolish yet.. entertaining, Lady Starla, Princess Stella, lead me to Lady Selphine, such potency guarantees the likelihood he won't be able to completely suppress these effects"
Starla reluctantly explained causing Starla to then helplessly pout and Stella to then adorably nod while the young prince despite being now tipsy had yet to be blindsided by 'those' effects.
Resulting in Stella quickly leading all three to Selphie's mini palace before then being greeted by both Selphie and Sylvia while Lilly and Aurora had just left to go watch the others train?
All the while surprising both Selphie and Sylvia by both Starla's appearance and the state of their celestial teddy bear causing Leyana having had surprising met Selphie before, causing her to then simply showcase the bottle.
"Aurel drank the entire bottle.. 'venom' included! Bu-But what's even worse is the way he 'drunk' it! Our favorite brother Aurel removed the 'unnecessary' liquid and drunk the.. pure concentration of both-"
Leyana both reluctantly and gracefully explained before then eventually being cut off!
Causing Starla after realizing the young prince had already passed out and was now apparently sucking on her neck in a manner similar to that of an infant? Causing her in the confusion to then momentarily pause.
Having only just now noticed and in truth didn't know how to feel about it she clearly wasn't a mother at least she hoped she wasn't causing her to then look to the others with a curious frown.
"What.. is he doing?"
Starla curiously asked causing both Sylvia and Selphie to then gently shake their heads.
"I suppose It's a sign of both Aurel's unwavering affection and perhaps even trust? Stella, Leyana please don't let this affect your training, we'll take it from here? As for Starla you should stay for a moment, I haven't had the chance to meet our Aurel's and Lily's unique creation"
Sylvia gently reassured surprising Starla and causing Stella after adorably kissing the young prince's cheeks to then hesitantly nod.
