Causing the young prince to quickly become flushed and Noel to try her very best to hide her blush not knowing what had gotten into her little sister!
At least until she was cut off after several moments as half of the potion was transferred into the young prince's mouth.
Causing Ayla to then proudly smile.
"This queen of light is the best queen of light! Now it's your turn, big sister! Death to darkness!"
Ayla shamelessly proclaimed, causing Noel to then adorably pause before then quickly shaking her head.
Unfortunately by the time she did Ayla had already placed the potion into her mouth via the potion bottle causing Noel to surprisingly pout.
Before then gently pulling the young prince into an equally gentle kiss and slowly transferring the potion in the hopes of not deluding it.
For all intents and purposes she didn't want to help delude him or make him believe this was normal! Pecks are pecks! Not this!
Until finally it was transferred, and Noel worriedly hugged the young prince while sending pouts to Ayla's way.
"Little sister, please don't do that again. I understand little sister doesn't know what she did wrong, but you'll have to wait until you're older!"
"There's a time and a place little sister and you shouldn't do that with anyone else until then. I'll wait until I tell mother and big sister, but please remember what mommy taught you!"
"Little sister and Aurel are still babies and babies shouldn't do this. I love my little sister and Aurel so I worry!"
Noel adorably reprimanded causing Ayla to quickly become teary and Noel to pull her into a hug.
"I-I'm sorry big sister! I-I thought this queen of light was helping! This queen of light heard kisses help with adrenaline and adrenaline helps with potions. Please forgive this queen of light, big sister! Death to adrenaline!"
Ayla adorably cried, causing the young prince to adorably kiss Ayla's cheeks as to calm her while Noel gently wiped away her tears.
All the while back with Jade's mortal avatar, it seemed she was now at the temple taking a stroll and explaining it.
All while several Sky Castles of The Celestial Vale, Dark Elf Empire, Draconian Empire, Ophidian Empire, The Kingdom of The Elves and one from The Kingdom of Minma funnily enough?
Perhaps for comedic purposes since they were the smallest nation with an albeit 'decent' military budget. While mage legions and investigators representing them all and the celestial pact.
Of course the majority were their royal counterparts while despite appearances The Kingdom of Minma's Investigators were only allowed to attend for a laugh.
To put it simply, for all intents and purposes the young prince owned the temple and the land around it, meaning outside of Aldra and Bradley allowing it.
No one would have been allowed to actively investigate the matter while The Golden Bank of Aurora was the only real exception while Aurea didn't really care.
At least as long as they didn't attempt to ruin her and the young prince's future adventure within the sealed temple.
Resulting six or so Sky Castles and their mage legions, and investigators being 'permitted' to investigate while despite knowing some of the classified aspects looked for what they may have missed.
Of course, all investigators were supposed to report their findings, while The Blighted Spear of Senexs did the same without revealing any real secrets.
Unfortunately, The Kingdom of Minma despite arriving first hadn't offered anything new while the deactivated puppets and mage defensive spires alongside weaponry and discarded armor were ultimately 'swiped'.
Resulting in them ultimately leaving more or less the same report and returning to their Sky Castle.
While unfortunately for The Kingdom of Minma, The Blighted Spears of Senex's Mage Eyes were still very much active resulting in them discovering such a thing and they weren't very happy.
Causing Jade having heard the commotion to helplessly smile since despite it not truly meaning much, it was still very much an offense again their legion while Jade highly doubted the young prince would truly care outside of some pouts.
While she watched it all continue as The Chapter's Librarian spoke to her fellow Librarians of each Mage Legion and that of Aurora's.
"Forgive me for interrupting, however I didn't imagine I would be forced to remind you all of this. But please don't loot the encampment, The Mage Legion of Minma have already taken quite a few of our deactivated mage puppets, defensive spires, alongside some armors and weapons before our arrival"
"All of such items belong to that of our legion and are more or less classified. I understand your curiosity and will try my very best to assist in this investigation, however taking items from that of our fallen and that of this encampment without our express permission is truly shameless"
"We have brought forth facilities to assist this investigation and you all would be allowed to examine such things and take notes as you please, but please don't leave with them. Again unless given our express permission due to the sensitivity of such items and that of our legion"
"Please don't take offense, however if caught we will file diplomatic complaints and will no longer render aid or allow these privileges such as we will for The Kingdom of Minma, again please respect our fallen. Thank you for your patience, that'll be all"
She gently broadcasted using that of the encampment's speakers and doing so without hiding the involvement, surprising quite literally everyone.
While the librarians and chapter masters were equally shocked, to put it simply these charges weren't a slap on the rest.
The same could be said for the consequences of looting and stealing of that from fallen legionnaires and the property of their legion.
There was a code, especially with that of allies and neutral parties.
What was worse was the fact that they were allowed on scene and allowed to be made aware of such a sensitive mage legion even if they didn't truly know much about them.
Meaning it was comparable to priestess welcoming you into her temple, healing you, blessing you, and showing you both kindness and love.
However once she's away you steal everything not nailed down and that of her delicates before then simply leaving.
It was truly unforgivable while equally shameless, however it seemed there was no real urgency while the consequences were indeed harsh.
While the librarian of her legion covered in black and displaying no features said such words kindly with a hint of disappointment as if a loving yet equally worried mother.
While she herself was very much liked right away only adding to the shamelessness of it all.
Causing the librarians and chapters masters to quickly offer their apologies and condolences out of both respect and disappointment for not arriving sooner to prevent such things.
Causing Jade to curiously notice a spirit containment ring in the grasps of a dead mage causing her after informing the sweet female librarian to open the hand of the poor male mage.
In truth the scene was truly heartbreaking, the surprise attack left many unprepared, be it eating at their seats, having their throats slit, or worse.
They had to have been outnumbered ten to one to truly pull this massacre, however despite this.
This mage and many others fought against such odds until the end until they had been overwhelmed and their defenses and puppets had been deactivated meaning it quickly became a losing battle.
However, they continued to fight, and by the end it appeared the thousand or so blight spirits that attacked the more or less one hundred unprepared legionnaires had dwindled to match that of that legion.
Of course, they could have truly won if not for the sneak attack and deactivation of all their defenses.
There was the total of five hundred deactivated variety of Sacred Puppets with sentient magic incarnations be it swordsmen, mages, and assassins, and The Kingdom of Minma took ten or each it seemed.
While it seemed they had also taken three universal anti air, ground, and blight, defensive spires that were fully capable of shooting down meteor, defend against a Sky Castles bombardment, hold off against a hoard of blight.
While as for weapons, much of them were made by Lady Frostma herself meaning ten Sacred Swords, Seven Mage Spears, and Five Mage Staffs and armor belonging to that of both a mage and a knight.
All of which belonged to the special forces, which in itself was comical when considering that was the young prince's entire legion.
If not for them being here no one would have known they existed while their gear belonged to that of Divine Artisans or rather Lady Frostmas who mass produced them all to be Artisan Grade with the skill of a Divine Artisan resulting in much of it containing secrets and forgotten inscriptions and magic.
Meaning The Kingdom of Minma had snatched highly classified if not secrets, while funnily enough The Magic Incantations could simply leave them all in but an instant and return to the legion.
However The legion themselves were indeed upset about the shameless of their looting.
Causing Jade or rather Keira to curiously nod since it'll sort itself out.
"It seems the ring trick was successful! Unfortunately this poor vice captain sacrificed himself to ensure something was left? With that being said this blight spirit should have eight eyes! Let's take it to the containment cell you brought. Should be easier to question it when it's in there!"
"Just keep another ring ready just in case! That certain 'someone' would like to keep it alive after all, and maybe Lady Frostma can train it?!"
Keira playfully whispered, causing the poor Librarian to gently sigh before then leading the way while Keira happily followed.
To put it simply Aurea had already prepared for Keira to visit and didn't pay it much mind since that was her bestie and her legion knew it.
Albeit to the extent as Aurea simply informing it's command of such and to afford her every luxury? Resulting in poor miss librarian doing just that while Keira teased every dragoness and serpent she saw along the way.
All the while back with Aurel, after cuddling both Ayla and Noel in utter please for ten or so minutes they had soon returned to the party since he felt suspicious that Aurea was so quiet all the sudden.
Causing him to adorably hide behind Noel while Ayla happily returned to play with Katie.
And soon enough he made it to the mommy section before then finally noticing Aurea and quickly realizing her mana had been crippled while she looked familiar? Not in the regard that she was Aurea but someone else?
Causing the young prince to adorably pout before then marching over.
Causing Aldra to then gently feel his head before then lovingly nodding before he had a chance to speak while both him and Aurea adorably looked to each other while Laurel who was curious to what was going on quickly joined them.
Resulting in all three staring at each other while Elyris wondered what this 'was' while Selphie and the others couldn't help but giggle at the sight.
Before then ultimately being cut off by an upset young prince having not liked the suspicious activities and not being told of any of them, even from his legion while even Jade was hesitant resulting in the young prince's heart ultimately breaking.
"Tell Aurel everything or no more link! Aurea wanted to remain th-the same but everyone's hiding things from Aurel! Stop being a big bully and tell me! Why is Aurea's mana crippled? I-If Aurea doesn't tell Aurel then Aurel.. will do more antics!"
The young prince angrily asked, surprising everyone including Aurea having realized his hormones were unbalanced while his bloodline aspects healed resulting in his strange behavior.
Causing Selphie to quickly step it having sensed just that, before then adorably hugging him to the fullest.
"I'm so sorry my celestial teddy bear! But until my celestial teddy bear recovers, it'll do more harm than good to my celestial teddy bear"
Selphie adorably reassured, causing the young prince to adorably become teary before then storming off surprising everyone even more and causing Laurel to worriedly shake her head.
"Ayla's a baby bully for not telling him about the after effects! Why does big brother Aurel have scary hormones? Don't be a bully, big sister!"
Laurel worriedly reminded, causing Aurea to adorably sigh while Aldra was about to get up to follow him since she couldn't simply allow her baby prince to run away while emotional, when her baby prince needed her.
Causing Bradley having noticed to then quickly reassure her.
Before then following in her stead since she had both Laurel and Aurea with her while Noel who felt the same didn't want to interrupt big brother bradley's bonding before then ultimately speaking to her mommy about the Ayla incident.
