The Crown Prince(ss) [BL]

The people of the kingdom of Grinia believed in the Moon God. No one had ever seen the form of the God, but the kingdom's first High Priestess was possessed by the Moon God hundreds of years ago.

["I am the Moon God, the creator of the land on which this kingdom stands, as well as the protector of the people of this kingdom. From now on, I will guide you so that you will have a good life in this kingdom. You only need to pray for me and be faithful to me."]

The words left the High Priestess' lips, but people knew that it was not the High Priestess who spoke to them. The first High Priestess in Grinia was a woman, but the voice that escaped her lips belonged to a man.

Thus, people immediately prostrated themselves in front of the High Priestess while continuously chanting the name of the Moon God. Even the King and Queen did not dare to doubt the existence of the Mood God and kowtowed along with their people.

Many years had passed, and indeed, the Moon God kept his word as he continued to protect the people of Grinia. The people of Grinia could live in prosperity because of the lenience of the God.

There were no major disasters for many years, and even when other kingdoms suffered from drought, the people in Grinia were still able to harvest their crops well.

It was a great blessing, and that was why the people of Grinia became loyal adherents of the Moon God. Not even a day would they forget to pray to the Moon God.

Not only that, but the Moon God also kept his promise to guide people so that they could lead a good life in the kingdom. Every lunar eclipse, he would descend from his throne on the moon and possess the High Priestesses of Grinia.

In that way, he would guide the rulers and people of Grinia.

Once he guided the King to cooperate with a neighboring kingdom. The neighboring kingdom was known for their expertise in making pesticides for crops, and that year, the Grinias almost failed to harvest their crops due to pest attacks if the King didn't listen to the God's guidance.

Thankfully, the King listened to the guidance to cooperate with the kingdom and buy a lot of pesticides from the neighboring kingdom. He also instructed the farmers to use the pesticides he had bought for their crops.

In the end, the crops in Grinia were saved from pest attacks, and the harvest season in Grinia was also saved. The King then celebrated the auspicious event by holding a ritual to thank the Moon God. Everyone in the kingdom participated in the ritual.

It was just one story about how the Moon God guided the rulers and the people of Grinia, and Eighteen years ago when a lunar eclipse occurred, the Moon God once again descended and possessed the High Priestess.

He gave another guidance for the King and his people.

["The current King of Grinia will have a daughter as his first child. That princess will become the Crown Princess of Grinia, and she will be the first Queen to lead Grinia to a better future. Take good care of her until the time comes, and Grinia will achieve a golden era under the leadership of the Queen. If you fail to do so, then you will have a catastrophe instead."]

The King and his people were overjoyed when they heard the prophecy from the Moon God. The Moon God never went wrong with his guidance. Even if Grinia never had a female ruler, they were willing to accept the future Queen because it was the guidance of the Moon God.

Another reason why people felt so happy and could immediately believe in the Moon God was that the King's wife, the Queen, was six months pregnant when the Moon God descended to guide the mortals.

Therefore, the King and his people were so eager to wait for the Queen to give birth to the king's first child. Normally, Kings in other kingdoms would be happy if they could get the Crown Prince who would become King in the future, but because of the Moon God's guidance, the people of Grinia were expecting a Crown Princess instead.

During the three months of waiting, the young King took great care of the Queen. He supervised the Queen's food and vitamins, and he even invited the best doctor in the kingdom to live in the palace.

Even the people of Grinia continued to show their love for the pregnant Queen.

The farmers sent their best vegetables and fruits to the palace every day, the tailors occasionally sent the best quality baby clothes to the palace, and for those who had nothing to give to the Queen and the baby in the Queen's womb, they did not stop praying for their health.

Everyone in Grinia was waiting for the Crown Princess to come to the world for a better future of the kingdom.

And the time had finally come. The Queen felt contractions in her abdomen at the break of dawn, and the King who was sleeping next to her was instantly awakened by his wife's cries.

The King immediately called the royal doctor to come to the chamber and help the Queen to give birth.

The doctor came to the room in no time, and he hurriedly did his work. At that time, the King was by his wife's side holding her hand, whispering sweet nothing in her ear.

Until finally, the cry of the baby broke the silence of the dawn. The Queen was still panting heavily, but she looked relieved to be able to give birth to her first child.

The King was happy too, and he immediately kissed his wife's forehead before walking towards the doctor who was holding the baby. He was so excited to get a better look at his baby, but then he froze on the spot when he heard the doctor speaking.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. You have a healthy baby boy here."
