Celestial Birthday XXV Molly's Origins I

Causing the young prince to then happily nod before then remembering both the children from the sanctuary and the apparently 'sleeping' Lilyana, Shelly had specifically mentioned earlier would be arriving by the morning?

All the while causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod and Molly after noticing this to then worriedly feel his head once more before then surprisingly being cut off.

Causing the young prince to then adorably hug Molly even tighter before then adorably whispering into her ear himself surprising her before then ultimately being cut off herself.

"It-It's a secret! So.. so Aurel will make Molly happy! Bu-But Aurel won't tell Molly! I love Molly.. an-and I-I love surprises-"

The young prince adorably confessed before then being cut off causing Molly to then surprisingly give him a peck on the cheek.

Before then hugging the young prince as tightly as she could only knowing he had done something for her but couldn't say until the morning!

However, for Molly that was enough from her closest friend at least until she defeats him and becomes his first fiance! After the adorable hugging session had ended.

And Molly had reassured the young prince even more by reminiscing about the five-month-long training with Annie and the others even if it had felt like barely a day had passed.

Causing the young prince to then surprisingly miss it along with the bonding for that matter, wishing he could have brought Stella along as well since she was still far behind causing Molly to then curiously nod.

Both were soon surprisingly greeted by Shelly, Drusilla, and Emilia surprising both causing the young prince to then excitedly hug Emilia having missed her ever since she had disappeared much earlier causing her to then gently shake her head.

Causing the young prince to then happily smile and Molly to then look to Shelly with a slight smile having actually met her while she was leaving Polis on the mission due to the former Sanctuary doing very little in terms of helping.

Causing Shelly to then gently shake her head.

"Despite the circumstances, I'm quite happy to see your well and prospering Vestial Imperial Princess Daisy Vestian Valest? My apologies, with 'some' effort and calling in 'some' favors I felt it would be enlightening for you to learn of your birth name?"

"I believe you deserve as much for the treatment you had previously suffered through that 'supposed' Sanctuary? However, I was 'unable' to discover anything about your birth mother or father due to The 'Vestial' Empire's secretive nature?"

"The only bits I was truly able to receive was through The Golden Bank of Aurora and only then discovered that she was alive and 'prospering' but unfortunately nothing else-"

Shelly gently whispered with a surprisingly gentle yet worried expression before then being cut off.

Causing Molly to then surprisingly ignore this having remembered very little of her 'supposedly' loving mother who traveled so far just to abandon her.

Before then slightly shaking her head not wanting to hear any more causing Shelly to then nod and handing her a strange golden celestial space ring.

Before then surprisingly kissing her forehead surprising Molly even more before then ultimately being cut off herself.

"That 'women' had also left these items for you at the orphanage.. I dared not look through such things, and no matter your 'decision', it'll always be your own from now on?"

Shelly gently reassured surprising Molly causing the young prince who had heard some of it to then adorably look to all four with an adorably confused expression causing Emilia to then gently shake her head.

Before then being cut off causing Drusilla to then adorably shake her head having visited The 'Vestial' Empire once due to the simple fact The Vestial Empress believed they had the right to have a similar relationship with The Draconian Empire.

Despite originally being descended by a banished celestial royal bloodline that even The Draconian Empire didn't really 'care' for due to them bringing it onto themselves so long ago and damaging trade.

Resulting in an Imperial Princess Drusilla Claret being sent to the generic 'Celestial' Empire.

To determine if they were even worth such respect a decade ago ultimately resulting in The Vestial Empire being subpar not even being able to compare to the weakest of The Celestial Empire and even worse off.

Having only had a Celestial Demigod to ensure Lady Celestia's investments and 'assets' weren't wasted or The Valest Royal Family weren't slaughtered or tried killing each other while their only real ally was The High Elves.

Who had only treated them like troubled little siblings and even then they would still favor celestials that weren't truly banished seeing as there was even a Celestial Embassy even if it wasn't very active and mainly used as a joint embassy.

For both Celestials and High Elves themselves due to Celes not truly caring enough due to their 'current' status.

Ultimately resulting in after reporting everything she could Drusilla had decided that even if The Vestial Empire didn't deserve such respect.

The Draconian Empire could still at the very least do the bare 'minimum' without including any real 'trade' that The Celestial Empire itself had the right to trade believing The Vestial Empire was nothing more than a 'rogue' celestial state truly undeserving.

And had no 'real' history with The Draconian Empire having chosen to discard any real bond after being banished so long ago resulting in The Draconian Empire simply treating them as they would 'based' humans with a minor embassy and even minor trade.

All the while refusing to trade anything they naturally would The Celestial Empire due causing Drusilla having suggested such a thing to then adorably nod once more having remembered such things quite fondly.

"The 'Vestial' Empire was created by the 'banished' celestial royals and originally meant to 'copy' The Celestial Empire, a name still used by many!"

"So when they 'originally' attempted to rename themselves to 'exactly' just that they were truly bullied and forced to change it to 'Vestial' and ultimately their names to Valest!"

"None of The 'Greater' Races excluding The High Elves who are seen as their biggest benefactors, 'truly' wish to involve themselves with The Vestial Empire? I had visited them around ten years ago? But unfortunately.. they were nowhere near The Celestial Empire!"

"So I had suggested that they 'should' be treated the same way we treat 'base' humans even if some of them had the deluded 'celestial' royal bloodline?"

Drusilla adorably ranted with an adorably curious expression surprising everyone causing both Molly and the young prince to then curiously look to Drusilla with an adorably hesitant yet curious expression themselves.

Causing Drusilla to then happily continue.

"But they were still 'very' much 'hollow' and didn't 'deserve' the same respect due to their banishment sealing the coffin for them if not for The High Elves?"

"In truth they're overly pompous, and uneducated not even being able to transform, they are 'no' celestials so no one treats them as such 'anymore', the same goes for even The High Elves who at most treat them like defenseless celestial children?"

"As for The Celestials themselves, they really don't have any opinion on them? Molly herself is a Celestial Princess now, The Vestial 'Imperial' Princess title may not hold the 'same' weight but it's still a title?"

"And as for 'her' name? I believe she can simply change to whichever she wishes? Perhaps even combine them? Celestial Imperial Princess Molly Daisy Valest Vale maybe-"

Drusilla adorably ranted further before then being cut off causing the young prince to then adorably kiss the contemplating Molly's cheeks before then adorably hugging Drusilla to the fullest surprising her before then being cut off once more.

"Drusilla is the smartest! Molly will al-always be Molly even as Daisy! Molly will always be Celestial Princess!"

"Bu-But I won't let bullies take Molly back! They'll disappear first.. I-I'm sorry! Aurel is a bully.. I-I love sisters and mommies bu-but Aurel isn't weak!"

"Aurel would show Dragon Form! I-I love Dragons an-and Molly and sisters and mommies!"

"An-And Aurel wants to be Drusilla's disciple.. Aure-I'll become the best First Elf Prince an-and I'll make mommies, Noel, sisters, an-and Drusilla happy! Aurel promises.."

"Bu-But Aurel doesn't like changing sche-schedule? S-So Aurel will train like Noel! Aurel an-and Molly can rest during garden nap! I-I'll learn during garden nap an-and Library!"

The young prince adorably confessed having not wanted to skip on breakfast, bath time, garden trips and naptimes, or even the Library visits.

Causing Drusilla to then surprisingly nod having expected as much especially after speaking with Aldra, Emilia, Marjorie, and even Kethryllia about such a proposal ultimately resulted in her finally hearing what he 'disliked'.

What he 'liked', and what he 'loved', at most it was the most basic information they could have given her due to them believing it was unwise to leak anything truly 'personal' even if there were no 'real' threats from doing so.

Causing the young prince to then adorably look to Drusilla with an adorably curious expression before then being cut off causing Drusilla to then adorably smile before then surprisingly poking his forehead.

"Now my sisters can 'finally' leave me alone about the disciple 'matter', as for 'your' schedule I'll simply speak to Noel about a possible joint training? I'm also hoping to teach you alchemy as well? The Celestial Empire should still have several 'timeless' chambers?"

"I 'should' also warn you of the possibility that 'Grandmaster' Talia might 'also' wish to make you one of her 'pupil'.. of course, I won't hold any ill will 'against' such a thing' despite the 'natural' rivalry between us and The Serpents!"

"However, she's still quite 'terrifying' and is considered one of Empress Klarine's 'oldest' daughters?"

"In truth, the most 'terrifying' aspect is that no one truly knows that much about her other than her mother? She deliberately 'hid' and classified almost everything involving her youth?"

Drusilla adorably confessed having wanted to warn the young prince of this surprising both Molly and the young prince causing Emilia and Shelly to then gently shake their heads and Drusilla to then adorably continue.

"Along with everything else for that matter to both The Ophidian Empire and Celestial Empire?"

"I suppose she's just that 'good' at her job? But I fear she'd make your 'apparent' training with High Celestial Queen Annie look like child's play? No offense intended of course!"

"Grandmaster Talia at least 'when' she 'did' have disciples usually 'crippled' them by 'mistake' or quite possibly worse due to her unrestrained power? It was also rumored Annie was also a disciple of hers I believe-"

Drusilla adorably warned before then surprisingly being cut off by Talia herself arriving to return the young prince's insignia.

Causing her to then slightly nod having heard everything after removing the sound barrier causing Talia who didn't care about such gossip to then slightly shake her head.

"Drusilla is correct, Annie 'was' my disciple, several 'other' disciples were weak and had their experiences 'removed'.. I want to teach Aurelius like Drusilla does, I like Drusilla? Drusilla was trained by The Draconian Talons 'and' big sister Kassandra"

"If Aurelius cares about schedules I can teach in the timeless chamber, and I like Molly so I'd want to teach her too, big sister Celestia said I shouldn't scare like Annie, and both Molly and Aurelius were partners so I won't separate good partners"

Talia surprisingly explained with a surprisingly neutral expression surprising everyone causing the young prince to then adorably look to the adorably hesitant Molly as if asking permission causing Molly to then hesitantly nod.

Before then ultimately being cut off by the now arrived Selphie and Noel causing Selphie to then adorably pout.

"Don't be bullies and overwhelm my celestial teddy bears! Molly and Aurel had just finished training and getting beat up by that bully Annie for five months!"

"I still can't believe that bully introduced them to both a Sacred Powerhouse's Bloodlust and almost killing my celestial teddy bears.. I love Annie but that was too much! And I heard Talia's even worse! So if you're going to do the same then I won't allow it!"

Selphie adorably confessed with an adorably serious expression having not wanted her celestial teddy bears to 'almost' get beaten to death 'again'.

Surprising Noel having not realized it was to that extent to then worriedly hug both Molly and the young prince causing both to then adorably blush and Emilia to then gently shake her head.

"I'd imagine it'll be for the 'best' to soothe 'both' gently into such teachings? I'd 'also' imagine it would be for the 'best' to prevent the 'same' harmful.. near-lethal attacks on 'any' child.. Lady Mera had already explained it quite clearly it was in fact an 'accident' on Annie's part"

"Annie herself had already promised to refrain from such things? In truth, Annie has been overwhelmed with guilt since the incident.. so I believe it would be for the best that we agree such lethal 'actions' won't be taken again?"
