“Why are you still holding on to that story book? Your about to give birth.” A man said in an fluster tone. This man was Count Ciel K. G. Volos, in his arms gripping a story book like her life depend on it was his wife Elsa G. Volos. Drake is a man known for his charming looks and his calm composure. He is a very handsome man with cinnamon colored skin, sharp feature and muscular not bulky physique, but he is most known for snow like white hair and his aqua colored eyes that sparkles like the ocean when the light hits them just right.
Elsa equally as known throughout the land like her husband. Is the definition of grace and beauty. Her ruby eyes, white skin with a rosy color to them, slim yet curvy figure and her long pale lavender colored hair won her the envy and of men and women everywhere.
Her Fiery nature and his calm nature were known everywhere, so if people were to seem them now, they would be utterly baffled at what they saw. Drake usually calmness was known where to be seen, in its place was a man running around like a chicken with its head cut off, and in his arms was woman who you could usually here all throughout their mansion being calm and quiet.
Seeing how their masters’ act this way, made almost all of the house staff flustered, all but Rachel, the head maid of the house. “Master Ciel are you not overreacting.” she stated flatly. This comment seems to hit Drake over the and slow down his panicking. “Your wife is about to give birth and we almost to house doctor room so just remain calm are you not the “Lord” of this house.” She emphasized the word “Lord” which seem to strike him right in the heart. Rachel Had been with Ciel his entire life. She was even there during his birth looking the same as she did not. She’s a elf that was saved by Ciel’s grandfather and took an oath to serve the Waldheim house until the end of her days. She was currently over 400 years old, but with slim elven build, delicate feature with green eyes, and greenish blond hair, she didn’t look a day over 25, and she knew just how to handle him when he got like this.
After a few second of them walking down a lavish hallway, they finally arrived at the doctor room who was already waiting for them. Ciel took his wife who throughout all of this had said nothing and laid her on the bed. The room that they were currently was beautiful. There is a wall that is completely made of glass that connect to the garden, a skyline where you can see the star, and the room was paint half in warm autumn color and spring vibrancy that seem to clash in a perfect way to give off the feeling of comfort and youth. This was meant to calm anyone who came into this room as it was imbued with magic to give off those feeling. This seem to help because Elsa, who was extremely tense up until now, has started to calm down. And even starts talking. “You know it's rare to see you so fluster it really cute.” she said cracking a smile while teasing him, which made him blush slightly and look away embarrassed, before he straightens up his face.
“You're the one who's still carrying around a children story book. Now that’s cute.” He deadpanned back to her which made the turn red from embarrassment before she grabbed one of the pillows of the bed she was on and flung it at his face, but to no one’s surprised he caught with no effort despite it being flung hard enough to obliterates common steel. “Oh, that cute to.” he stated before tossing the pillow back on to the bed.
Before she could say or do anything in retaliation for that last remark there was a loud throat cleaning which made them both tense up like naughty school children about to be disapplied. Rachel gave the hard stare before motion to the doctor who had clear amusement on his face. This wasn’t the first time he seen them act like this. “Sorry.: they both said in unison
All of a sudden Elsa started groaning and the doctor rushed to her said before his hands started hovering over, he stomachs and emitting a soft green light from his palms. “Well, it looks like the baby is coming right now” The doctor said in a cheery tone. Then he began to operate.

“Whaaaaaaa!’ the sound of babies’ cry could be heard throughout the halls of the medical area of the mansion. “Congratulations you are the parents of a baby boy.” The doctor said with a broad smile on his face as he handed the boy over to his mother. Who had a shocked look on her face
“We’re parents.” she whispered to herself while holding her son. Ciel wrapped his arms around his wife and son a warm smile on his face.
Tears dropped from Rachel eye. This was one of the greatest moments in her life. She saw Ciel as her on son and to see him hold his wife and child made her extreme happy, to the point of shedding tears. Ciel looked up from his family at Rachel, seeing her he motions for her to come over. She hesitates for a moment before doing so. Ciel pulls her into the hug that he was having with his family. She stiffens for a moment before losing up.
“It’s wonderful isn’t mom.” He whispered t both Elsa and Rachel. He had always saw Rachel as his own mother as his mother died during childbirth. So, she was the closest thing that he had to a mother and would even call her so in private much to her dismay. Elsa also loved Rachel as if she was her own mother. “Grandmother.” She whispered to Rachel which mad her cry even more. Elsa the baby to Rachel who pull the baby closed to her chest. “I will always protect you.” she whispered to herself and the baby, the parents both smiled at her quite declaration. Rachel held him for a long time before handing him back to his mother “What are you going to name him.” Rachel asked while looking down at him. He had his father cinnamon colored skin and his mother soft lavender hair, but what stood out the most were his eyes that you could catch glimpses of his dazzling purple eye that shine like polished amethyst with blue and red floating orbs give the impression of space with to floating planets around a small black sun.
“There is really only on name that would fit him, isn’t that right El?” Ciel at his wife who smiled back. At him. Rachel smiled to knowing where this was going.
“The Eternal King.” the two said in unison. And Rachel smiled at them. “You both really love that story.” She laughs at the excited faces. “Of course, we it was such a good story.” Elsa said, “I just hope he found the love and happiness that he deserved.” She said smiling down at her child.
“It’s so nice to meet you...” Rachel said

Three years later.
“YOUNG MASTER CRYTOS GET DOWN FROM THERE RIGHT NOW!!” Rachel voice rang out through the mansion. As she chased all throughout the mansion. Crytos, the boy in question, was currently climbing on the balcony rails trying to reach his father study without using the stairs because he said that’s too easy. When she yells, she started the boy and he slim falling of the balcony. This wasn’t the first time he has fell of the balcony so with practice ease Rachel used wind magic to catch him and push back onto the balcony, Crytos giggling the entire time. “That is not funny young master.” Rachel said flustered. Elsa walking in right behind Rachel a broad smile on her face “He sure does know how to work you up doesn’t he.” Elsa chuckled earning Rachel’s glare. “This is not funny Lady Elsa your son might have fallen of the balcony.” she said in an icy tone that seem to roll right off of Elsa. “Come now he has Ciel blood, he could jump off a cliff and only come out with a few bumps and scratches.” Elsa said smugness' and pride in her tone. “That doesn’t mean we should be careless.” Rachel shot back. Her face-tinged red. “Alright I talk to him don’t worry.” She said laughing before calling her son over. “Now Crytos you need to listen to Rachel when she tells you that you shouldn’t do something. Okay?” she said in a sweet tone. He looked slightly guilt listening to his mom speak. “But I want to be strong like dad. So, I want to see what he does.” he said his head down. “Why don’t you use the stair like everyone else if you want to see you dad work?” She asked curious about his answer as he has never given a straight answer to the question. Instead of answering he just stands there quietly. Instead of forcing him to answer she just sighs before getting a wicked smile on her face. “And why do you want to get stronger.” a saccharine sweet smile on her face. Crytos’s face instantly lit up blindingly bright. “So, I can marry Rachel, but she’s already really strong so I have to be strong to.” He said with all the enthusiasm in the world. This made Rachel turn beet red not looking in their direction.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
They had tried many times to get him to see her as a mother or grandmotherly figure but was vehemently against it refusing to even entertain the idea. Everything he would see Ciel do with Elsa we would try and do with Rachel. He would hold her hands, give her hugs, and would even kiss her on the cheek, to the great amusement of everyone in the house. Even the staff under her found this amusing, especially since it was clear that she did not know how to handle him. Knowing this Elsa and even Ciel at time would use this as a chance to tease her to her great annoyance. Despite everything see really did care for Crytos. That’s why she could never get herself to truly scold him, so she would just get flustered and look away.
“It’s always a treat to see Rachel so out of her element.” Elsa mused to herself before taking her sons hand and walking him to the balcony railing and standing him on it. “If you're just going to do it anyway, might as well do it while someone is here in case something goes wrong.” She winked and then she climbs up onto the rail herself. “Well, what are you waiting for? Lets go and spy on your dad.” She grinned reaching for one of the bricks on the side of mansion. Crytos, not much for hesitation immediately started climbing before stopping and look back down to the balcony where Rachel was waiting. “Come on Rachel. It fun.” he had a bright smile when he said this. Rachel who was caught off guard before deciding it would just be best if she did. So, they spent the next five minutes scaling the mansion all the way to the Ciel’s study. Crytos was the last one to make it to the window. When he pulled himself up to look into the window, he could see his father filling out paperwork. The window was directly behind Ciel in a room fill with bookshelves full of books, maps, and other miscellaneous things. His father got up to stretch which made the three of them duck their heads down. Thinking that they didn’t get seen Crytos breathed out a sigh of relief. Suddenly the three of them were standing in front of Ciel’s desk a smirk clearly on his face. “Elsa and Crytos I understand but Rachel, I’m shocked.” he gave a mock gasp clearly having fun teasing her. “You know ever since that day you have become more... docile.” he said before laughing. Rachel stammered trying to come up with an excuse but was cut off by Crytos. “It’s not nice to tease people.” held up is finger and waved it at his dad and shook his head which only made Ciel laugh even more. Even Elsa was snickering behind her hand. Crytos just stood there pouting trying to block his father’s view of Rachel.
After laughing at Rachel and Crytos, Ciel turned his face to Elsa smile gone. “On another, why aren’t you in your office finishing your paperwork? Surely you weren’t playing when we have time sensitive work to get done.” Ciel was smiling now, but his eye wasn’t. Elsa turned pale at his words “O-of course not husband I just so happened to end up here. You know?” She said not meeting his eyes. Everyone in the room knew she was lying, even Crytos, she never called Ciel husband unless she was lying. “Oh really? That’s good. I would hate to have to call your older sister to come and help you.” She turned even paler at this. “Le-let go Crytos, Rachel.” she said bolting for the door before seeing only Crytos following her she looked at Rachel who shook her head and glanced at Ciel. Elsa nodded, then tried to usher Crytos but he ran back to Rachel hugged her, kissed her hand then walked outside of the room and waited for his mom. When she followed him, he began to talk as the door was shutting behind them. “Lying is wrong mom.” was the last thing said before the door shut.

“I’d like to take a leave of absence.” Rachel said to Ciel who grimaced at her words. “Is it that time already?” He silently hopes that she would say no but he knew that was wishful thinking. She just simply nodded. Ciel sighed at this. “Normally I wouldn’t have a problem with this, but I don’t know how Cy is going to handle this. How do you have to go this time? he asked hoping that it would be shorter than usually. She just shook her head to answer his question. “This time is going to be longer. Anywhere from ten to fifteen years from that moment. But I’ll hurry back.” She said wincing at the time herself. She didn’t want to be gone that long either, but she didn’t have a choice. “I wish it wasn’t now, but you know...” she paused not wanting to say it. Ciel just nodded. “Fine, but I’m not explaining it Cy you're going to have to, and don’t even think of sneaking of to avoid it. That’s an order.” Ciel almost never order Rachel to do anything as it pulls on her oath, but he knew she would try to avoid the emotional charged goodbye, especially when it came to Crytos seeing her leave. He got teary eyed when she would have to leave for a few days. So, they both new this was going to be worse. Knowing that it was better coming from her she just sighed and nodded not want to have to bring this new to him.

"But you can't leave. If you do, we can't get married." Crytos whined tears pouring from his eyes. "What I'm going to do without you?" he grabbed on to Rachel leg. This made her start to tear up as well. " I'm not leaving forever, and I promise thar will come back as soon as i can." Crytos look up at Rachel. Seeing her tears and hearing her voice, whipped his eyes and hugged tighter before letting go and taking her hands. He had seen his father do this once when his mother said that she had to leave for a long time. So, he said what his father did. "When will you be back?" He looked up at her with a shaky smile on his face. It was clear he was trying hard not to cry more even if he didn't notice the new stream sliding down his face. "I don't know but it will be a long time before I can come back, but I will." she smiled at him. he nodded not trusting his voice. he walked behind her and started. to push her to the door, opened it then gently pushed her out the door. "Come back home soon. we will be waiting for you to return." He spoke with a fragile smile on his face. "I'll be really strong when you come back then we can get married." He spoke before crying again. Rachel walked up to him, hugged him on more time then started walking down the garden path to the gates surrounding the mansion. Crytos stayed there crying until his mother and father took him into their arms. "You did really good. just like you father." Elsa said in a soothing tone trying to comfort him. "She'll be back before you know it." his father said stroking his head. "Come on let's go have some cake." Elsa said caring him to the dining room, his father behind them.

"Blessings, BLESSING!!" Rachel was completely and utterly shock blessings were something that especially rare, in fact they were commonplace. Those blessing are usually referred to as skills, she had a blessing window which made her blessings "True Blessing" which hers apparently were. One given by a lineally goddess, and the other by someone she had thought only a legend. This really through her for a loop.
Rachel floated there for a long time before deciding to move on. she could sit there and ponder all day but she would rather rush too where she needed to so she could hurry back home to them, especially Cy. the she was off again heading in the direction of the setting sun.
