Celestial Afterparty XVI Matriarch Diana Vares I

"Aurel, what do you think of Iris?"

Bradley curiously asked causing the young prince to then adorably blush before then shyly covering his face much like Aldra had done so long ago.

Causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod before then getting into character to be able to express how he really feels.

"I love her.. It's hard for Aurel to explain? Aurel doesn't sound like Aurel? When Aurel doesn't sound like Aurel then Aurel feels weird? Uncomfortable? It's hard for Aurel to talk like this.."

"Noel taught Aurel when Aurel needs to talk like this! Aurel wants to talk like Noel and mommy! So Aurel will learn but Aurel doesn't like change? It'll be daddy's and Aurel's secret! Aurel wants to surprise mommy!"

The young prince adorably explained having perfected his 'character' just like Noel taught him!

Surprising Bradley especially since not only has he had the ability to speak this way but in doing so he sounds like a much younger Aldra!

Albeit after a nap and quite confused? Causing Bradley to then happily hug the young prince to the fullest having felt immensely proud.

Causing the young prince to then adorably giggle before then reverting back to his original form causing Bradley to then gently rub his back.

"It seems you are far better than I was when I was your age? When I was your age I used to always follow Annie around and swore that I'd marry her!"

"Despite that being nothing but a childish dream at the time.. I'd imagine much of it still lives to this day?"

"However I'm far too biased so Annie doesn't count! As for Aldra.. I'm quite embarrassed to admit it but Aldra took my breath away more times than I could count?"

Bradley playfully confessed surprising the young prince causing him to then adorably blush.

Before then whispering into Bradley's ear causing Bradley to then knowingly nod before then handing the young prince a small pouch of Elven Memory Crystals.

"When I was your age or perhaps even younger, I had a fascination with memory crystals? My mother supported such things and gave me hundreds of them! No matter the situation, or event I've always worn a memory crystal and made copies!"

"Memory crystals allow you to relive memories, so they were always quite precious to me, these memory crystals are copies of my own? Be it from the first time I met Aldra and everything up until your birth!"

"However, the pouch itself only contains the most memorable and precious moments, since it's your wish to be more like Aldra I felt it would be for the best that you witness her through my eyes?"

"Perhaps you can learn a thing or two and give her an even bigger surprise?"

Bradley teased causing the young prince's eyes to then excitedly sparkle before then ultimately being cut off by the arrival of Iris.

Causing the young prince to then surprisingly blush having not expected her so soon before then calming down causing him to then carefully put the pouch into his space ring and adorably rush over before then happily hugging Iris.

"I missed Iris-"

The young prince shyly exclaimed before then immediately being cut off causing Iris to then adorably kiss the young prince's cheek before then excitedly leading him to the balcony causing Bradley to then proudly nod with approval.

All the while after entering the balcony and closing its doors Iris had soon given the balcony a curious look over.

Before then adorably nodding and immediately pulling a Sura by pulling out a softly extravagant demonic rug and a large futon of a similar design.

Along with nine or so matching pillows scattered about surprising the young prince to no end and causing Iris after finishing up her preparations to then adorably wipe away before then laying down.

All the while shyly patting the spot next to her causing the young prince to then adorably blush before then laying down himself.

Causing both to then adorably look to each other before then immediately blushing once more causing Iris to then shyly nod.

Having taken this opportunity to spend some alone time with the young prince, which in itself was quite rare? Causing Iris to then shyly pull out an obsidian space ring with a purple gem that resembled her eyes.

Before then quickly handing it to him surprising the young prince before then being cut off.

"Ha-Happy birthday! I-I wanted to give you a present I picked out with daddy? An-And there's more but.."

Iris shyly mumbled before then hiding her face behind the closest pillow causing the young prince to then adorably giggle before then happily nodding.

The space ring itself contained many things be it from a strange obsidian demonic jewelry box that gave off an ominous aura filled with jewelry that contained three Demonic Princess Attires with matching armors, sheaths, weapons, and even tiaras!

Along with the matching jewelry and precious gems that matched perfectly and could be worn with all three and even mismatched.

Causing the young prince to then happily smile before then moving on to the next gift which was in fact a letter and deed?

Iris had somehow convinced her daddy to give the young prince a palace with eight kilometers of land in all directions in The Kingdom of Furvus?

But what surprised the young prince, even more, was the fact it was on its border where the borders of The Kingdoms of Feless, Bos, and The Wood Elves met.

Making it quite priceless not to mention the palace itself originated from The Diamond Demons!

Because of this, the palace had a title for whoever owned it and which was in fact The High Lord of Diamonds, and that title alone was something many sought for millennials even now.

The reason why was because The Title of The High Lord of Diamonds was something similar to a minor demon king who was able to give out exclusive titles.

Be it from The Princess of Diamonds, The Prince of Diamonds, or even The Lords of Diamond!

The reason why such titles were a big deal to some was that The First Empress of The Empire of Diamonds who was The Deluded Demon Race's closest ally had hoped to cement their bond.

And did so by giving them such a palace and titles which in itself was a great honor.

And despite such an empire disappearing the decree and Lady Lilith had never allowed such a thing to be erased meaning it was in fact both ancient and gave many benefits.

Unfortunately, the young prince had learned all of this through a letter explaining it all.

And despite such explanation being quite detailed he understood none of it or perhaps he just wasn't sure what to do with it?

Before then quickly noticing a strange diamond space ring and seeing there was in fact another there were another three attires?

Only this time it looked to belong to diamond princesses and came with armors, sheaths, weapons, tiaras, and even make-up and jewelry.

Surprising the young prince causing him to then adorably pounce on Iris having absolutely loved it to no end.

Surprising her causing the young prince to then adorably kiss her cheeks repeatedly causing her to then immediately giggle before then becoming teary having felt very happy that he liked it!

Causing the young prince to then end the adorable wave of kisses with a peck on the lips before then lovingly hugging Iris to the fullest.

"I love it! Iris's presents are the best!"

The young prince adorably confessed causing Iris to then happily blush before then quickly being cut off.

Causing the young prince to then excitedly whisper into her ear surprising her causing her to then hesitantly nod before then adorably closing her eyes and covering her face with a pillow.

Causing the young prince to then shyly nod before then switching to his demon form.

After switching to his demon royal bloodline the young prince's appearance had immediately change, he now had snow-like skin, darkish purple hair, and calming red eyes giving him a strangely calming yet warm charm.

In truth, Iris would've had the same traits if she hadn't purposely hidden them meaning she had asked her daddy for platinum purple hair and to change her eye color through magic.

Causing the young prince after looking into a small mirror to then adorably blush before then tapping Iris's should.

Causing her to then slowly unhide her face before then noticing the changes in the young prince causing her eyes to then adorably sparkle.

Before then quickly being cut off herself.

"I.. I haven't shown mommies, sisters, daddies, o-or Lily! S-So-"

The young prince shyly mumbled before then immediately being cut off causing Iris to quickly stop him with her finger before then hesitantly closing her eyes and gently waving her hand over them and opening them once more.

Revealing her calming red eyes before then slowly doing the same with her hair, all the while slowly returning it to its original darkish purple causing the young prince's blush to only spread before then adorably being shushed.

"Only show me.. and n-no one else! Ex-Except Lady Lily.. an-and your mommy.. but no one else!"

Iris shyly demanded causing the young prince having had surprisingly understood her reasoning and even wanted the same, to then adorably nod before then happily kissing her cheek.

"On-Only Iris, Lily, an-and mommy! N-No one else!"

The young prince shyly proclaimed causing Iris to then happily smile and the young prince to then immediately whisper into her ear causing her to then immediately become flushed before then quickly being cut off.

"It's a secret! An-And I want to give Iris presents too! S-So I.. I want Iris to be Diamond Princess? Aurel has to-too many titles.. s-so I want Iris to have some too!"

The young prince excitedly added before then happily hugging Iris to the fullest and cherishing this moment as long as he could.

Causing Iris having felt overwhelmed yet extremely happy to then adorably nod before then doing the same.

After both the adorable antics and short cuddling session had ended the young prince had soon returned to his celestial ancestral form.

As to match better with his outfit all the while Iris had done the same before then star gazing with the young prince for the next ten minutes or so.

Before then finally packing everything up and returning to the throne room, after the young prince had promised to do this again causing Iris to then shyly nod.

After returning to the throne room both were soon greeted by Matriarch Diana of The Vares Family seemingly waiting for someone.

Causing Iris after noticing this to then adorably kiss the young prince's cheek having realized this was the young prince's lesson his daddy mentioned?

Before then adorably sitting with Sura causing the young prince to then adorably nod and Bradley to then playfully nod with approval at the young prince's short little date.

"Matriarch Diana Vares of The Vares Family has just arrived, this should be quite the learning experience for my precious prince?"

Bradley gently reminded before then raising a much smaller throne closer to his right causing the young prince to then happily nod before then taking a seat and getting into character like he had done not too long ago?

Causing Bradley to then gently nod with approval before then immediately getting serious once more.

"Matriarch Diana Vares, now that you've finished looking through such 'unique' memories would you care to explain the actions of your predecessors?"

"Former Celestial Elder Edarous Vares had become a Celestial Elder through your 'own' efforts?"

"Such things could and would have been ignored due to the politics of it all and my own lack of interest in such an organization as a whole"

"Unfortunately the latest discoveries coupled with what had just 'recently' transpired has shown us that The Vares Family of the past.."

"And seemingly the 'present' have gotten away with several uniquely vile acts over the years, I'm no Celestial Emperor or Ancient Celestial King but if I'm not given a 'proper' explanation on behalf of The Vares Family I will become something much worse"

Bradley gently demanded before then transforming into his celestial ancestral form as well surprising everyone causing Diana to then gently sigh having felt pressured beyond belief and only hoped to prevent the extermination of her family.

"The Patriarch of 'Old' and his brother were both Artisans lowly assistants to Malik's own apprentices who had long become Divine Alchemist while the brothers themselves were never truly able to breakthrough.."
