Celestial Scandal VIII Elfine's Guidance I

Before then looking to the young prince causing him to then happily stop his stargazing after noticing before then curiously looking back with an adorably curious expression causing Aurora to then immediately nod.

"Let's do it! Fuc-Forget about the title! We'll have plenty of time to pretend that matters later.. for now, let's set up the groundwork and give our favorite someone this opportunity?"

"However, if we do he'll still need some of 'our' support when the time comes.. and knowing us.. neither of us would want him to have all the fun?"

"Remember my prouder 'assets' still need to learn some.. humility and despite your 'own' efforts there is still some within your 'ranks' who need the 'same' humility you know?"

Aurora excitedly suggested causing Celes to then nonchalantly shake her head.

"I agree.. however, if they decide to show that side of themselves in front of our 'Auri' or even direct it towards him I'd have no choice but to.. 'you know' but that's for a later topic"

"And until that happens or at least affects Aurel, Rory, Stella, or any of my 'other' favorites I'll leave them be.. who knows! They may have the honor of becoming Celestial 'Blight' themselves!"

"But again that's for a later topic.. for now, we should start with that 'groundwork' you spoke of earlier!"

Celes curiously agreed causing the young prince to then adorably look to both with an adorably confused expression.

Moments later both Selphie and Sylvia had finally returned before then noticing the changes surprising them causing the young prince to then excitedly kiss both Celes's and Aurora's cheeks causing both to then proudly smile.

Before then continuing their plans causing the young prince to then immediately rush over before then excitedly pouncing on both Selphie and Sylvia.

"I-I've missed you!"

The young prince excitedly exclaimed causing both Selphie and Sylvia to then adorably smile before then happily hugging the young prince.

"We've missed you too Aurel!"

Both happily exclaimed causing both Celes and Aurora to then look on with adorably laughable expressions and the young prince to then adorably kiss both Selphie's and Sylvia's cheeks.

Before then adorably looking around for Lilly causing Sylvia to then helplessly smile.

"Lilly and the others are.. busy! I can't say with 'what' because it's a surprise but all I 'can' say is that you'd love it!"

Sylvia excitedly explained causing Selphie to then excitedly nod.

Causing the young prince's eyes to then immediately sparkle.

Before then remembering something causing him to then adorably look to Selphie surprising her causing her to then adorably nod before then looking to Sylvia.

After noticing Aurora and Celes were caught up in their planning causing Sylvia to then nod.

"Hey, you two! We'll be snatching Aurel away for a little while any objections?"

Sylvia curiously asked causing both to then curiously look to Sylvia causing both to then adorably shake their heads.

Before then immediately returning to their long-winded planning causing Sylvia to then helplessly smile causing Selphie to then nod causing both to then adorably help the young prince up before then opening a rift once more.

After entering the rift all three had soon arrived to Selphie's Ancestral World before then being greeted by Aerin once more.

Causing the young prince to then excitedly rush over before then happily hugging her surprising her causing her to then gently smile causing Selphie to then adorably nod.

"Aerin I hate to bother you with this.. but can you drop Aurel off at Elfinia's place? And don't worry Aurel I'll be there to pick you up! It's just hard to let go of my celestial teddy bear sometimes!"

Selphie reassured before then kissing the young prince's forehead causing him to then adorably blush before then hesitantly nodding causing Aerin to then smile before then finally opening a rift herself.

After both a quick hug from Sylvia and a promise both Aerin and the young prince had soon entered the rift, after arriving to Elfine's room Aerin had quickly made her exit after patting the young prince's head.

Causing Elfine to then gently smile before then patting the spot next to her all the while still reading the strange-looking book causing the young prince to then happily crawl up the bed.

Before then adorably hugging Elfine's available arm causing him to then curiously look at the strange book.

Causing Elfine after noticing to then playfully nod before then showing him the page she was so interested in.. surprising the young prince causing Elfine to then gently smile once more.

"It seems Lady Selphine and the.. 'others' have taught you The 'Ancient' Elven Tongue quite well, It amazes me at times that what was 'once' known to be the standard is now both an 'ancient' and exclusive hobby.."

"It makes it surprisingly difficult to share a good book don't you think? I'd imagine you've only either heard or read Elven 'Bedtime' Stories instead of 'True' Eleven Literature, however, I digress.. I may have allowed my excitement to come over m-"

Elfine gently confessed before then being cut off by both a surprising yet gentle kiss to the cheek surprising her causing the young prince to then hesitantly and adorably follow up with an immediate hug.

"Elf-Elfine's amazing! I-I love books.. an-and Elfine!"

The young prince shyly confessed surprising Elfine even more with the sudden change in the young prince's behavior causing her to then gently shake her head.

Before then gently and playfully pinching his cheeks.

"Auri.. I'd imagine you're far too young for the 'talk', but I feel the need to prevent you from making some of the same misunderstandings I myself made during my 'youth'.. starting with a brief talk about 'love'.."

Elfine remembered surprising the young prince causing his heart to then immediately drop before then worriedly nodding driving Elfine after noticing this to then gently shake her head.

Before then caressing the young prince's face surprising him causing him to then adorably blush.

"Quite the overthinker? You needn't worry, you haven't done anything wrong.. the topic of 'love' itself is quite complicated and easy to misunderstand, I just hope to guide you in to the 'right' direction as to both prevent misunderstandings"

"And a mountain of.. 'love' interest and possible consorts, speaking of which I heard from the 'celestial' grapevine of what happened in the Old World.. thankfully my sympathies are unneeded.."

"However, I'd imagine it's still difficult for you four.. you needn't wear a mask around me.. If you're curious about anythi-"

Elfine gently reassured causing the young prince to then immediately become teary surprising Elfine after noticing how quickly the young prince broke down causing her to then gently nod before then gently wiping away the tears.

"I-I had another big sister.. dadd-daddy didn't know, wha-what if she was lonely? Lonely hurts! Wh-What if she hates me for not being lonely? Wha-What if she hates Rory o-or Stella?!"

"I-I don't understand.. I-I don't know! Th-This isn't books or lessons! I-I'm scared! I-If new big sister o-or Rory an-and Stella hates me.. It'll hurt more than being lonely! I-I just want everyone to be happy!"

The young prince tearily confessed before then frustratingly hugging Elfine even tighter causing her to then gently shake her head before then lifting the young prince's chin.

Causing both of their eyes to then meet.

"Auri.. allowing such emotions to build up isn't healthy.. however, I'd imagine you're overthinking much of it, from what I heard Rory was primarily upset because she felt that her relationship with you would be threatened"

"She's a remarkable child but that's just it.. you both are.. so no one will fault you for these kinds of emotional outbursts, even if they do I won't.."

"You should never allow others to cloud your own 'reality'.. I'd imagine you didn't know this but, I've been visited by Rory quite a few times.."

"She wanted to keep it a secret so with Lady Selphie's permission Lady Inari and sometimes Lady Selphie herself would bring her to visit me.. the reason I'm mentioning this is to let you know you're not alone in this?"

Elfine reassuringly confessed surprising the young prince causing his heart to then adorably drop once more causing Elfine to then gently shake her head.

"I'd still like to keep her privacy a secret however, just know that she knows more than she's letting on and hopes to surpass you. Her reasoning being if she couldn't protect you"

"Stella, and even Esliabet as a big sister then the title wouldn't be worth it to her, and that's all I'm willing to repeat for the time being.. I'd imagine Rory wouldn't be too happy with me if I said anything more?"

Elfine added causing the young prince to then adorably nod before then hesitantly remembering something else.

"I-I wanted Rory an-and Stella to play with me a-at Celes's.. bu-but I'm scared Rory woul-would get mad at me for forgetting"

The young prince tearily confessed causing Elfine to then gently nod.

"Rory is quite protective of you, however, she isn't a fool.. as I said previously she truly 'knows' more than she lets on.. but you needn't worry no matter the case? She'd always forgive her sweet 'little' Auri.."

"However, I'd imagine we've already gone off-topic? Let's return to Elven literature why don't we?"

Elfine gently reminded causing the young prince to then adorably pout before then finally noticing the page had already changed causing his eyes to then excitedly sparkle once more.

All the while Lilly stood in her section of the Dreamverse staring at the strangely ominous yet grand black abyssal castle she had just finished conjuring up causing both the visiting Sera and Lili to then do the same.

Before then looking to Lilly with helplessly questionable expressions causing Lilly to then nod.

Before then conjuring an abyssal black stone forum similar to that of Celes's however black and with an ominous aura causing Sera to then playfully shake her head.

"Lilly.. I hate to pry but why make everything so ominous? Wouldn't that scare away Aurel? Not to mention Mili? The idea is for both to either stay together or separately visit one of our domains. While giving us plenty of free time as well?"

Sera asked causing Lilly to then playfully shake her head.

"Why would those two wanna see the same 'old' things they've already been accustomed to for so long?"

"Even Celes would eventually get tired of the same old thing and that's saying something! Especially knowing how lazy she is.. In fact, it reminds me a lot of 'you' if you hadn't 'liberated' Mili?"

Lilly playfully reprimanded causing Sera to then playfully shake her head, all the while both Mai and Yume had decided to hold off on renovating their sections on the Dreamverse to instead keep Mili company.

While everyone was away which they happily did causing Mili to then happily hug both of their amazingly fluffy tails of endless fluff during the never-ending cuddle session before then remembering something.

Causing him to then adorably pout causing Mai to then adorably nibble on his ears causing him to then adorably blush.

"N-No nom noms!"

Mili adorably causing Mai to then adorably pout herself.

"I'll eat you up! Tell me why your suddenly so pouty or I'll keep nibbling on those yummy little Elf ears of yours?!"

Mai adorably pouted causing Mili to then adorably blush once more before then finally and adorably giving up.

"I-I miss Aurel! I-I miss playing with him.. I-I.. I miss my big brother!"

Mili tearily confessed surprising both Mai and Yume causing Mai to then quickly and adorably wipe away his tears.

Before then immediately hugging him even tighter.

"My poor Mili! Don't worry! From what Annie told me he should be recovering soon! An-And I shouldn't mention this but from what I heard.. both Rory and Mili are expecting a much bigger sister soon!"

"He should be back in the morning! I've already said too much! So please don't cry! O-Or I'll eat you up!"

Mai adorably reassured surprising Mili causing him to then adorably freeze causing his eyes to then immediately and adorably sparkle with excitement.
