Continuation XIII Mommy Day II

"Mini Rory eye's.. they're like big sister Elisabet's.. I love her so much too. Big sisters were always with Aurel? I miss big sisters?"

The young prince tearily mumbled having realized what he didn't want to change was losing either of his big sisters.. much like his mommy and mommy Elisabet he wanted to stay with them forever!

Of course, the same could be said for Bradley, Bromley, Amber, Annie, and anyone else who he saw as his mommy.

However, he felt like he hadn't given them as much attention as he wanted to.. resulting in him promising himself to give everyone as much attention as possible while he blissfully accepted the rubs of the precious mini Rory.

Causing Vina to then happily giggle, Celes to then adorably nod, and Aldra to then gently giggle her heart out having realized the kitten was in fact a lost baby snow leopard with neither identifications nor signs of ownership.

Meaning chances are it had perhaps lived in The Celestial Gardens at the gates of The Celestial Palace since many Sacred Beasts and other 'pets' were released and peacefully lived without a care in the world?

In truth, if even a cub wanted a humanoid form it'll be given one.

Be it a released deluded base beast from the lesser continents with no mana whatsoever or not, if it wanted it Lady Celestine would take care of it, Holy Spirits aren't simply for show after all?

They could have near endless responsibilities that chances are they chose themselves or simply stay committed to only one.

Lady Celestine handled many of Celes's lesser matters and is second only to Celes herself and quite loved and even nicknamed The Celestial Goddess of Love, Kindness, Mercy, and Stability all of which she displayed simply by existing.

Causing Aldra to then gently nod and Celes to then curiously examine the kitten herself.

"The Snow Elves idolize Snow Leopards so you're fortunate she wasn't found earlier! My favorite little celestial prince is lucky one isn't around to snatch her"

"The Snow Elves are worse than The Sea Elves because even they only trade with The Kingdom of The Elves and ignore what they believe are 'lesser' elven races such as The Sea Elves and even my High Elves?"

"I doubt they'd even show my little holy emperor any face? To them the mixing of bloodlines is taboo and even if you have a pure royal bloodline.. so chances are they'd simply try to take her and unless your mommy got involved they wouldn't care and would even risk incurring the wrath of little Bradley?"

"They wouldn't even care if you were The First Prince of The Elves, they're proud isolationist purebloods even more so than my High Elves! Let me offer you some friendly advice my little celestial holy emperor.. they're barely a Greater Race so don't you dare let those dreamy brats bully you!"

Celes adorably explained causing both the young prince and the kitten to look to each other while as Aldra knowingly shook her head.

Years before, she had received a letter from an 'unofficial' snow elf prince.

Asking her to save her 'dignity' and not to marry celestial 'trash'..

To sum it up not only had Aldra 'read' it but Kethryllia also 'read' it, and so did Emilia, Gemma, Holly, Marjorie, Selphie, Silas, Annie, and even Celes resulting in that unofficial 'prince' going.. missing.

Everyone suspected Avery may have 'also' read it and dealt with the matter..

If not they assumed either Kethryllia had paid The Kingdom of The Snow Elves a visit or Silas having felt his brother Bradley was insulted asked The Empress of The Blood Elves to handle it.

Or perhaps Celes had simply smited him, in any case despite still having an embassy on both ends neither had a good relationship.

Especially after most of the elven races found Snow Elves despite being gorgeous geniuses were simply far too arrogant!

All the while Vina having remembered her 'big' sister The Queen of Senex had obtained a Snow Elf Royal Bloodline to then check for it herself before then switching to just that!

Even if snow elves were bullies she wanted to at least show at least one isn't for her little sister's sake!

Causing her while the young prince adorably nodded to then remove her veil and switch to that of a snow elf prince's attire! Surprising all four and causing Celes to adorably pout.

Vina now wore an extravagant sparkling snow elf royal dress, boots, and tiara covered in sparkling snow elf royal patterns and complimenting her cold snow white hair, skin, and extremely delicate yet gorgeous features.

And white sparkling snowflaked eyes, giving her an overwhelmingly adorably yet dreamily gorgeous charm causing the young prince's nose to then adorably bleed and Vina to then adorably giggle.

"The Snow Elf Princess big sister had gotten this bloodline from was a real bully! Some Snow Elf Royals enjoy the slavery of lesser races and even mixed Snow Elves! So even if Snow Elves are bullies to little sister.. big sister will never be a bully!"

Vina adorably reassured causing the young prince to then adorably blush before then shyly nodding while Aldra gently nodded.

"I'd imagine such practices had long ended millenniums ago?"

"However I'd also imagine there is a possibility 'some' may still commit such activities, The Elves of the past had strictly forbidden such acts and if ever discovered would result in The Temple of Selphine interfering. So my sweet prince needn't worry"

Aldra lovingly reassured causing the young prince having felt complete bliss to then happily nod believing his mommy while as Celes having known despite such things Vina was in fact still correct.

Albeit instead of 'slaves' they called them 'indentured' servants..

And they were still traded and had very little rights despite the fact that they were supposed to be equal under Lady Selphine.

Resulting in The Temple of Selphine refusing to bless the children of Royals and Nobles and the same could be said for The Goddess of The Snow Elves herself.

Even she felt disappointed since she originally hoped to make an Elven Race comparable to that of Selphie's causing Celes.

Having wanted her celestial prince to see such things to then arranged for him to meet the ambassador albeit 'envoy' of The Snow Elves.

Since they had only sent one as not to get into the bad graces of the elves meaning they had created an illegally large embassy and used it for many things.

Which resulted in Lady Celestine punishing them by taking away half of the rights and benefits of being an ambassador, to begin with?

Meaning the 'ambassador' despite being treated well 'not' having complete diplomatic immunity.

And if the interests of either The Celestial Royals or The Temple of Celestia was endangered on purpose such immunity will no doubt be useless meaning much like snow they were on thin ice.

And since The Snow Elves weren't as powerful as many of The Greater Races they simply couldn't 'openly' offend or threaten the relationships between royal families.

Resulting in 'unofficial' princes and princesses who weren't royals being used as such since they weren't recognized by any royal family.

Resulting in them being more expendable if anything so they were used as middlemen or told to cause trouble without endangering the royal family.

Surprising the young prince after both Vina and Jade had explained it to him albeit not at the same time thankfully? Causing him to then adorably nod while Jade had already sent out her Shadows and communicated with her aspects.

Soon enough however Celes and Vina had wandered off causing Aldra to then gently nod before then taking the young prince further into the festival after even more snacks resulting in the young prince learning the price of skewers!

They were surprisingly only ten bronze for five?

Meaning two bronze per skewer?

Resulting in Aldra then explaining the currency exchange and the reasoning for such prices!

Fifty bronze was one silver and five thousand bronze was one gold while five hundred million bronze was one platinum and five billion bronze for one ethereal gold?

In truth, Bronze was more comparable to smaller pocket change while as silver was the common currency for gold it was comparable to one hundred silver making it bigger bills.

As for Platinum, it was ten million silver and one hundred thousand gold.

One Ethereal gold however was five billion bronze, two billion silver, one billion gold, and ten thousand platinum?

The reason why the high-quality skewers were so cheap was that chances are it was more for charity. And with charity more tax breaks!

Surprising the young prince since he didn't have to pay taxes? Causing Jade having pouted at the fact that she felt that taxes were unjust to then simply do that.. pout.

Resulting in Aldra gently nodding after gracefully finishing her chicken skewer and gracefully wiping both the young prince's and cub's blissful faces.

"I'd imagine food items would no doubt be quite cheap at such stalls? However, I'd also imagine bronze would carry weight outside of some minor conveniences. Inn's are quite cheap for those less fortunate or those of what some prefer to call the lesser races?"

"In truth, I dislike the terms 'base' and 'lesser', if only given the opportunity many would reach a similar place if they truly wished and I believe such opportunities should be given to those no matter their race, blood, or religion, Divinus is quite welcoming so one should never worry about finding a home"

"However I'd imagine I may have gone a bit off topic it seems. As for the currency exchange, you'll find high-quality items such as staff, robes, and puppets are quite expensive, the same could be said for ingredients and materials; however, such prices will no doubt switch between currencies depending on their rarity?"

Aldra softly explained to both causing both the young prince and the mini Rory to then adorably nod.

Causing Aldra to then lovingly giggle before then explaining the lack of low-quality equipment and the donations of from academies of alchemy and smithing who donate their completed academic projects.

Such as swords, staffs, and so forth they don't wish to keep or perhaps as an initiative to gain added points to their grades?

This was because it was quite expensive and the quality of such things was quite high albeit not the highest unless you wish to compare the qualities between lesser continents.

In which case the lesser continents unless inherited have very little if not completely different standards?

Of course, the royal families had monopolies over such equipment unless you go to The Golden Bank of Aurora and their auction houses.

In any case, the same could be said for puppets. Mage Puppets were worth their weight in gold and the higher quality ones even more so, however, sword puppets unless of high quality and rank were fairly quite cheap.

However, be it silver or gold they were still fairly expensive.

Causing the young prince to then blissfully nod since being with mommy and holding a kitten that reminded him of both Elisabet and Rory was simply just that.. bliss! That's just how much he truly loved his mommy and valued such moments.

To him, his mommy was the most beautiful and smartest in the world! Of course, he wasn't wrong however he was still a child after all and even if he was it's natural for many children to think so highly of their parents at least in most instances!

Causing Aldra after noticing Lian in the distance reprimanding what seemed to be one of her affiliated chapter masters or in simpler terms one of the unique lion chapters below her?

Meaning it could be The Celestial Leopards, Jaguars, Pumas, or anything celestial cat related?

In this case, it was The Celestial Leopards Chapter Master.

She looked around the same age as Amber albeit she wore an extravagant black golden cloaked robe, boots, and insignia all the while wearing a black and golden puma mask all of which were covered in celestial royal patterns.

Giving her a mysteriously gorgeous yet intimidating charm while they walked their way until finally, Lian noticed both Aldra and the young prince.

Causing Lian after noticing the young prince's strange progress to then excitedly smile before then angrily marching over followed by The Celestial Leopard's Chapter Master.

"Aldra, it's been a while! Oh sorry for not going to your wedding! As for you cub.. you're lucky your mommy is here or else I would've beat your invisible friends senseless!"

"Not even the Void can escape my eyes! Invisibility is nothing but a parlor trick to me! So now.. explain when did you obtain that progress?!"

Lian seriously asked with an angrily serious expression causing Aldra to then gently sigh.
