Klarine's Inheritance V Aurea's Mishaps IV

Causing Aurea after such an explanation to then not so surprising nod.

"I want to save Aurea for later but.. I suppose I should get this out of my system first? For all intents and purposes, I believe I should say this before I return to Aurel.. Elyris your tail is amazing and you are a beauty comparable to no other! I'm so happy that bastard tripped on himself and sent you my way! I'm so happy that you exist!"

"The same goes for you three as well! Molly, everything about you tells me you'll become a celestial princess in your own right comparable to only a few! You make me want to better myself and I simply can't wait until we finally have that duel! I simply can't wait!"

"Hanah despite beating me senseless.. I'm more than happy to experience it again if it means I'd be able to explore the imperial quarter with you again! You're simply amazing and I can't stress that enough! As for Mera, I can't wait to learn Lighting Magic from my Lighting Mommy!"

Aurea embarrassingly ranted before then immediately continuing wanting to full take advantage while she could.

"An-Anyways now that that's over with.. I suppose that's enough? Aurel took over for a moment so please excuse that sudden.. outburst?"

"I'm still a serpentess after all so such outbursts are no doubt embarrassing! So unless it's Aurel you won't hear me repeat myself in such an embarrassing manner again!"

Aurea embarrassingly confessed before then playfully smiling and wrapping her arms around Hanah's neck and passionately kissing her to the fullest! Before then quickly jumping up.

And immediately hiding behind Mera knowing she only had one chance and she had to reassert herself as a serpentess one way or the other!

As any true serpentess would after doing something embarrassing! And knowing Hanah as soon as she recovered Aurea would get slapped or even worse beaten up by the enraged Hanah!

None of which she could accept! Surprising everyone and causing Mera to then gently giggle her heart out while the now enraged Hanah stared daggers at Aurea causing her to then playfully stick her tongue at her as a serpentess should.

"Blame your delectable lip gloss! You shouldn't tempt a serpentess with such a tasty treat! I had to reassert my dominance! You should already know this! So yeah.. take that bully! I win!"

Aurea shamelessly teased having felt the need to be a brat in this instance! Doing something outrageous to change the subject is what a serpentesses did best! Especially the royals!

Causing both Elyris and Molly to then immediately blush before then adorably taking a step back?

Since after all even if it was out of the blue the young prince never did pay Hanah back in full for putting him into a coma? So to them it's.. on-only right? While Mera simply continued to giggle at such words!

Until finally Hanah had calmed down.. unfortunately, she was still quite angry since all of her instincts told her she had been violated by a shameless Imperial Serpentess rather than the young prince himself?

Causing her after some thought to then strangely nod hoping to pay her back in full! But right now she needed to find a way to do just that.

"How about a 'little' sparring match 'Imperial' Princess Aurea Serpa? Or perhaps that hussy Klarine didn't really teach you anything useful!"

Hanah strangely asked surprising all four and causing Aurea to then uncaringly shrug.

"Ask Malik.. did he give you that yummy lip gloss?"

Aurea teasingly retorted before then immediately freezing having remembered Aurea hadn't in fact held anything back and would even bring up the most sensitive of topics causing Elyris having wanted to stay neutral to then do just that!

While Hanah was now completely enraged!

Causing Aurea having realized her mistake to then reluctantly nod before then moving over to the sparring mat knowing at this point she had crossed the line she shouldn't have and as a result she'd definitely be beaten up!

Fortunately, Mera was still supervising the sparring! Causing Hanah to then angrily march to her position.

Several moments later the match had finally begun! Despite Aurea being quite talented and overall impressive, Hanah was more than a match for her!

At this point it was simply a dispute between Imperial Princesses belonging to that of a Dragon and a Serpent!

Two inheritances clashed at will! Despite keeping up Aurea was immediately suppressed resulting in her resorting to avoiding and retaliating whenever she could!

The only real issue was she was still getting beaten up! Hanah only attacked if she knew she'd hit Aurea which she did!

And successfully so!

Resulting in Aurea being forced to go all out!

A Low-Level Master Assassin trained by The First Queen of The Ophidian Empire was still quite intimidating, unfortunately, Hanah wasn't easily intimidated and Aurea knew she wouldn't win this one!

Both Aurel and Hanah were against her so, of course, she had to find a way of either trying to keep face, or if she was lucky she could lose 'some' face by being violated the same way? However, that was merely wishful thinking on her part!

After an hour of just that Aurea was now desperate! She either loses or she loses with style!

Causing her after noticing Hanah's misstep to then immediately pounce before then wrapping her arms around Hanah's neck once more and attempting to passionately kiss her once more causing Hanah to then angrily knee her stomach.

Causing Aurea to then painfully accept such kneeing to complete her mission! Which she did! And gloriously so! Before then finally tapping out having completed her mission.

"Ouchy! Yo-You win! I-I take it back you big bully! You win! That lip gloss was yummy though! So I can't take that part back! I'm sorry-"

Aurea playfully apologized causing Hanah to then strangely smile before then angrily pinching both of Aurea's cheeks.

"Aurel can get away with it but.. never mind you are Aurel.. blame yourself for provoking me, you Serpentess Brat! A-As for Aurel It's hard to differentiate while you're in this weird body!"

Hanah angrily pointed out causing Aurea to then not so surprisingly pout.

"I'd prefer to keep the two semi-separate? I suppose It's funnier that way.. and I suppose I'm also sorry for what I said earlier, I wanted Aurea to be Aurea.. and everything just happened.. bad habits I suppose?"

Aurea helplessly confessed causing Hanah having felt this was enough coupled with seeing the young prince's influence to then subsequently agree that Aurea was still in fact the young prince albeit a little rogue?

Causing Hanah after helping Aurea up to then angrily flick her forehead causing Aurea to then playfully do the same albeit with Hanah's arm before then playfully kissing her cheek.

Before then adorably switching back to the young prince with an adorably proud expression causing Hanah to then once again flick his forehead causing him to then instinctually pout before then freezing having realized he was about to pull an Aurea!

Which wasn't something he wanted to do as Aurel since after all Aurea was older and on another level while he was still a baby!

Causing both Molly and Elyis to then gently pat his head causing Elyris having seen her Pillar was frustrated to then curiously look to the memory crystal.

Causing Hanah after noticing to then simply hand it to her causing Elyris to then slightly nod before then searching through it.

Resulting in Elyris realizing the young prince's Ancestral Inheritance was in fact incomplete, much like her own was? The reason why both of theirs were so similar was that Brown-Tailed Inari Royals are 'born' with Ancestral Inheritances?

This used to be a norm among ancestrals of most races however it slowly dwindled out, later on, fortunately, Lady Lenari simply never changed her original template meaning out of most races hers was always the same!

The reasoning for this was quite simple, The Brown Tailed Inari despite being 'considered' a Base Demihuman Race simply wasn't?

It was in fact a race with the ability to become a Greater Race at any point through Ancestral Inheritances but simply hadn't since they didn't meet Lady Lenari's Criteria, of course, the criteria itself was The Semi-Sentient Ancestral Inheritance she had instilled within them so long ago?

After fulfilling such criteria and completing said inheritances they would be able to go further and become ancestrals themselves? Of course, it still varied between being royal, holy, and common meaning everyone had access to it!

As for Elyris, she was born with the same and it doesn't discriminate no matter who your mother or father was, and Elyris being a royal only means she'd have access to the same Royal Inheritance any other princess would?

Unfortunately for her, Malik had deliberately damaged hers so he could study it, and backpack on to it by creating his own unique inheritance from it?

And because if Elyris would have accessed such an inheritance earlier, so would have The Ancestral Queen of The Brown Tailed Inari meaning she'd know what Malik had done and that meant Lady Lenari would take away his test subje-very precious daughter!

The Inari would not only bash him publicly and The Celestial Empire itself, but even his mother and sisters would have gotten involved meaning damaging her Ancestral Inheritance was quite necessary for his own inheritance and studies!

Meaning she only had access to a small part of his at least until now? After the young prince had healed her completely and revived her that meant so did her Ancestral Inheritance!

While even Malik's was refined in him doing so believing it was the same at the time so she had only needed to wait until it realized she had already met the criteria!

Causing Elyris only knowing fragments of this meaning even though she wouldn't necessarily know when or how she'd possibly ever obtain it?

Causing her to then no doubt have 'some' experience in that area meaning she could reassure him based on her own similar experiences?

Resulting in her doing just that through the same wave of mental messages.

"You value individuality and the uniqueness of what you and Aurea had experienced.. It's not wrong, and neither is it right?"

"Only you can decide on what to do with those.. experiences? Be Aurea and Aurel? It's your choice and.. I won't let anyone take that choice from you.."

Elyris mentally reassured causing the young prince to then adorably kiss her cheek and nodding.

"Elyris is the smartest.."

The young prince adorably confessed before then standing up and hugging all four.

After both the adorable antics and hugs had finished the young prince continued training with Molly, and Elyris while Hanah had chosen to watch and Mera continued to supervise such sparring.

For the next hour, Molly and the young prince sparred resulting in the young prince doing fairly better than he did with Hanah but since he wanted to get used to what he had learned as Aurea he simply stayed as Aurel.

Meaning his body wasn't entirely used to it like Aurea's way resulting in slower responses, less refined attacks, and less power overall?

While Molly at times effortlessly evaded and even countered such things resulting in the young prince noting it all down and Molly trying her best to reassure after the fact?

All the while after sparing with the now tired Molly and losing, the young prince had then continued with Elyris since both her and Molly had already been sparring for hours and only extended their daily training since the young prince wanted to join in a similar scenario?

However, she had evaded and countered more than double then Molly had since she was a High-Level Sword Saint after all?

Resulting in after such sparring the young prince having remembered he or rather Aurea was a High-Level Expert Swordsmen?

Before then eventually explaining albeit trying his best through whispers that his current goal was to become a Sword Saint since focusing entirely on magic wasn't the 'best' option at the moment!

Of course, he'd still study and occasionally practice as to both catch up to Aurea and cement his foundation but that was only for six hours a day? While another eight were studying inscriptions, magereaths, potions, alchemy, and puppets?

And since days were practically thirty-eight hours he spent four more on sparring, ten more on experiments, and ten sleeping, cuddling, and studying in bed with Molly and the others?

Of course, there were occasional breaks be it ten to thirty minutes in between all of this but to put it plainly the training camp was still a training camp after all so training and learning as its entire purpose and busy schedules were the best for just that!

Causing Elyris having specialized in being both a Junior Artisan and Sword Saint to offer her assistance in just that along with some magic lessons to fill up her schedule while Mera even offered the same!

Since after all she was both an Artisan and Historian in her own right thanks to her quite literally hopping cloud to cloud and watching history in the making!
