"Despite your mother's 'flaws' she spoke the truth, whether you truly wish to believe it or not. You're fortunate we didn't share a mother, but such thoughts are for another time, as for what you should do, do nothing? Wait for her to take the first steps, if she doesn't wait until she does"
Maema strangely explained with her naturally ominous tone albeit that could be ignored due to all three knowing Maema and ultimately adapting to it causing Norn to then surprisingly nod in agreement while Sabine helplessly shook his head.
"I agree, but for the latter, I'd suggest going 'to' her if you're unable to truly endure such waiting. It's neither cowardly nor odd, as long as you can truly feel comfort nothing else truly matters"
Sabine helplessly added knowing he shouldn't have truly intervened but didn't regret it, of course after the two make up he could apologize however until then it was pointless seeing as he had ultimately cemented his position and couldn't change it without losing face.
Causing Asher to then tearily nod before then continuing to release his pent-up tears having yet to even recover from those awful memories after committing such awful acts to his mommy. He simply couldn't forgive himself.
All the while Asher sobbed, his mommy executed her royal guards responsible for apparently babysitting him from a distance.
While Annie tried her very best to convince her bestie 'not' to exterminate their families and tried her best to prevent her from going on a crusade against the sealed portions of The Endless Abyss, and during all of this, a wild Silas had appeared!
Resulting in even the young prince and the others finally noticing such a sight while he adorably hugged both Shiro's and Elyris's tails. Albeit they noticed there was a fuss, while Silas had ultimately erected a visible privacy barrier confusing them to no end.
Causing the young prince to then adorably look to Elyris causing her to then naturally send him a wave of mental messages in response.
"I asked Aurea, it seems Asher's mommy didn't do it on purpose. I believe it was sabotage, but Asher didn't know that and made his mommy cry. Now his mommy is executing Asher's Guards and mommy Annie is trying to calm her down? Asher is crying on the balcony with Maema, Norn, and Sabine"
"Holly left to check on them, so it'll resolve itself. Aniline is still playing with Stella and the others so she doesn't need to know, and you shouldn't ignore Noel"
Elyris mentally explained, surprising him while Noel adorably poked his cheeks causing him to then adorably pounce and wrapping his arms around Noel before then adorably pouting himself.
"I-I want to train with Noel! Fev-Fever is almost gone and I love Noel, so Aurel wants to train until fireworks.."
The young prince adorably pout causing Noel to then excitedly nod before then remembering Aldra had her own plans and he still had a fever meaning she'd be irresponsible and a bad big sister if she did.
Causing Noel to then worriedly shake her head and whispered into his ear, surprising him and causing him to then adorably pout before then happily nodding and hugging Noel even more.
Before then showing her his magepad! It seemed he had found a cousin or rather a relative who was in fact a High Elf Princess!
Celestia had mentioned this quite a bit while even Elfine had, albeit very little. It seemed The High Elves were connected to both The Celestials and Elves to the point they were quiet literally family.
Meaning she was family! What was even more interesting was the fact that her recent pictures included her big brother! He was a Lava Elf and Ash Elf Royal while his original form looked celestial or rather ancestral, both confusing him and making him happy!
He had never heard of Lava or Ash Elves before and neither Selphie nor Silas had ever mentioned them.
Causing the young prince despite the fever to then excitedly show Noel who was equally as surprised before then adorably sending Selphie a mental message resulting in Selphie making her way over.
Before then adorably hugging her celestial teddy bear and feeling his forehead causing her to then adorably pout at the fact that his fever was still around before then curiously looking to his magepad and adorably pausing as well.
"I'm sorry my celestial teddy bears but The Ash and Lava Elves are a tricky matter because they don't exist in our realm. The first and current Queen of The High Elves Queen Alana had a family before she became a High Elf, and Cybris is still her baby no matter where she goes"
Selphie worriedly explained since chances were he'd be around one day knowing Silas causing the young prince to then excitedly remember realms exist! Mind you he had almost forgotten he had a realm, let alone two if not for Shade.
Causing him to then excitedly nod having wanted to meet more big brothers before then remembering Asher's case causing the young prince to then worriedly whisper into Selphie's ear causing her to then adorably nod.
"My celestial teddy bears shouldn't worry! But I'm really worried for you, my celestial teddy bear.. your fever still isn't good!"
"My celestial teddy bear should be resting so no more training or any of your precious antics until it goes away! My celestial teddy bear's health is more important than adorable little antics!"
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Selphie adorably reminded, causing the poor young prince after several pouts to then adorably nod before then adorably yawning and pouting some more while adorably feeling his forehead.
His fever was really a big bully! So much so that both Jade and Mora were worried as to why his Fever acted the way it did.
Resulting in Selphie having noticed something was indeed off to then adorably pout as well. Before then adorably kissing his cheeks causing him to adorable giggle and Selphie to then worriedly nod.
"I'm so sorry my celestial teddy bear! But your bloodline aspects are still recovering, especially after all my celestial teddy bear has been through lately, while my celestial teddy bear's mana veins are still recovering too!"
"My celestial teddy bear is so reckless! But that's dangerous now with my celestial teddy bear's health, so until my celestial teddy bear recovers, no more precious antics, magic practice, or training! Noel and the others will teach you verbally and make sure you don't break these rules!"
"Aldra, Marjorie, and the others will talk to my precious celestial teddy bears more tonight. I hate to do this to my celestial teddy bears but there have been too many incidents already, and I don't want to see my precious celestial teddy bears hurt all the time"
Selphie adorably explained, causing the young prince to then adorably become teary and hug Selphie even more.
"I-I'm sorry for being a big bully!"
The young prince adorably apologized, having realized he had risked so much and kept getting hurt through most of his antics.
Causing Selphie to then adorably nod before then kissing her celestial teddy bear's cheeks causing Noel to happily do the same while Rory pouted and Aubrey giggled at the sight.
Resulting in after such adorable antics the young prince eventually falling asleep in Selphie's arms before then being handed to Noel due to Silas being a big bully and disappearing again meaning she had to go check up the aftermath of Asher's mommy executing his royal guards.
From what Aldra had told Selphie it seemed she was in fact going through with exterminating their families aside from their children who she'd personally keep in a Celes-like fashion.
While sparing several others who were already detached from their families and serving in literally any other capacity such as a pharmacist or shopkeeper.
While everyone else alongside those who served in official positions would also be executed unless they were cute or wholesome enough to be worthy enough to be kept alive.
Resulting in Selphie adorably pouting while trying her best to calm her down while Celes herself didn't care. For all intents and purposes, Celes firmly believed they deserved it while she herself took the female adults who met neither criteria, meaning even more tasty vampire progenitors!
All of which was indeed quite cruel, all the while showcasing what Celestial Royals were truly capable of and what lengths they'd go through.
While Aimee herself wouldn't hide such news and even have The Temple of Celestia and several demigods aquientences including that of The Elemental Queen to investigate not only her royal guard but of what happened to her baby prince!
Even if she now knew the gist of it, she was out for blood and Malik's or rather the person pretending to be him and their head specifically. Despite appearances she has met the 'real' Malik, and even knew he was busy elsewhere.
Meaning both Aimee and Ayrenn may or may not combine forces and quite literally hunt him down and end him for what he had done while The Brown Tailed Inari may even assist them in this regard. Especialy after Aimee reveals her suspicions.
While a mother's bloodlust was neither a joke or something to laugh at.
And funnily enough Ayrenn supported Aimee in this regard and did very little to stop her from executing her baby prince's detachment one by one. Aimee was The Celestial Queen of The First Layer of The Endless Abyss after all.
And despite appearances that meant a lot, and Aimee herself despite being quite and kind, a good mommy if not tricked, and adorable on occasion with Avery's teachings still made her a monster in her own right.
The fact that she'd openly kill the members of her royal guard meant to protect her son so openly and viscously only truly meant that she didn't care what anyone truly thought.
And simply did what a true queen would when confronted with cowards who left her baby prince to rot and become a slab of meat to a Blood Demon Queen!
While Bradley himself despite appearances believed she should have done such things quietly, unlike his mother who would have simply killed and pretended nothing had occurred.
While surprisingly enough as soon as Aldra and Kethryllia got involved Aimee despite her reluctance, had instead crippled the rest and handed them to Aldra's Queen's Guard, ultimately ending the slaughter of guards while Selphie cleaned up the mess and adorably pouted.
Especially after receiving a mental message from Holly alongside Aldra and the others that Asher wished to speak to his mommy in private.
"Big bully! What if Asher saw this? Don't you think he's seen enough blood?! So stop being a big bully!"
Selphie adorably reprimanded, causing Aimee to helplessly freeze having realized Selphie was now upset with her.
Mind you Aimee loved Selphie and she was simply adorable beyond words so of course this obliterated Aimee's fog causing her to then unage herself to that of a sicteen year old and adorably sigh before then hugging Selphie having felt the sudden urge.
"I'm so sorry Selphie! But when a mommy gets upset it's hard to stop! Those knuckleheads had one job! And you're such a cutie! You're my favourite you know!"
"And I'm sorry for the blood everyone, it was just the spur of a moment you know? They 'needed' to die! Ayrenn knows what I'm talking about!"
Aimee adorably confessed, surprising everyone while Ayrenn couldn't help but giggle at such a statement.
All the while Selphie adorably pouted even further before then whispering in her ear surprising Aimee and causing her to then worriedly nod having felt the seriousness in Asher wanting to speak 'alone'.
Causing Aimee after hugging Selphie even more and going out of her way to hug Aldra, Marjorie, Devyn, and Suna, she had soon left on her way to the balcony while Sura adorably cleaned up the mess that Selphie noticed, which was just broken plates hidden about, and small items.
Resulting in Selphie and Suna adorably helping her since it wasn't much.
All the while on the balcony Asher was now alone on the furthest part of the balcony on its very edge nervously looking down on the city and the colorful lights and occasional firework after his cuddling session and speaking to Holly.
All of whom had returned to the banquet, albeit waiting and with Holly and Lady Celestine who had also made a surprise appearance.
Causing Asher having glimpsed back to his newly resurfaced memories and all their vivid details to fall to his memories as he tried his best to hold in his vomit. Thankfully after several moments, luck was on his side, unfortunately, none of it truly mattered.
The smell, how it felt to be gutted, and to be alive during it all when he shouldn't have. He had glimpsed into his own personal hell, it was simply unbearable! Causing him unable to hold back the tears to quietly sob as he rethought his relationship with big sister Aumara.
Of course, it was ruined! She was a monster and no matter how much he loved his big sister she was a monster! And what troubled him, even more, was the fact that he missed her?! He was just a baby and she did those things to him..
