It strangely resembled both sparklingly crimson ruby and obsidian?

After reverting she had soon explained that Malik's mother's mother was in fact an Imperial Draconian Princess who resembled her to some extent and luckily enough she had inherited it?

All the while after another hour of this and learning to do the same both returned to bed before then being greeted by Jade who had been both reading and watching all of this transpire causing her to then happily smile.

"It seems both that potion and that 'minor' blessing of mine worked like a charm! To think our Ely was such a cutie 'and' an amazing teacher too?! You make both The Brown Tailed Inari and Celestial Empire proud!"

"Thinking about the Celestial Empire?! Aurel's daddy is still the Celestial 'King' and he even reinstated Hanah's titles excluding any rights to the throne of course! Chances are you'll get all of your old titles back!

"And knowing you 'were' and 'still' are the best brown-tailed Inari Imperial Princess to ever exist chances are you may also have untouched vaults that not even Malik could have played with!"

"So adding privileges you never got to use.. and the riches you never thought you had? What are you planning to do and what are you planning to buy first?"

Jade excitedly teased causing Elyris having not really thought about it, to then quickly being cut off by the young prince excitedly whispering into her ear?

All the while mentioning his birthday event is supposed to last a week and maybe even longer since he wasn't necessarily paying attention to all those details.

All he knew now was that he didn't 'have' to attend unless his mommies asked along with even mentioning both The Celestial Conference and The Mage Legion Festival that was supposed to be even longer!

All of which showcased Idol groups who used magic, showed off The Magic Legions, mage legion recruitment, competitions, duels, returning expeditions.

And the multiple different professions, business expeditions that dived and even sold puppets, magic items, weapons, and even more!

Along with much more, however, the true highlight was Mage Legions and The Festival itself since everyone all over The Continent of The Gods and even foreign continents that didn't isolate themselves as Polis did would be attending!

Even The Endless Abyss and several Abyssal Lords! Along with even some Void Lords that would also be attending strangely enough?

Of course, they weren't allowed to scheme or even prank those let alone prepare for such things resulting in them simply being guests much like The Abyssal Lords?

Rumors were even The Abyssal Lord of The Endless Abyss Ames himself would be attending! Along with him even Sacred Beasts, Sacred Elementals.

And anyone else for that matter no matter how strange could also attend as long as they had humanoid forms!

And respected both the rules and laws in place resulting in them also being seen as guests as well!

The reason why all of this was possible was because The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale had zero to no real prejudice against anyone be it race, gender, or religion?

Meaning you could quite literally be a massive sea dragon but as long as you had a humanoid form and respected their laws you could always enjoy yourself!

This was also because even if you were any of these things be it ancient or other formidable creatures that could devastate whole lower continents there was also some basic respect, formalities, and even gratefulness for allowing them to attend!

Especially during a royal birthday! The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale would even allow such Sacred Beasts, Elementals, and everyone else for that matter to become citizens.

And eventually, if they truly wanted to they could even join Mage Legions and The Royal Guard itself!

The reason why The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale did this was because these were but traditions created during the Ancestral Era and to put it simply have always existed! Of course, they were neither naive nor unprepared.

Since even a Demigod would be suppressed if they attempted to stir up trouble resulting in Celes dealing with Godly Beings herself.

Or allowing her own to deal with such matters while The Kingdom of The Celestial Vale could quite literally deal with anything else with little trouble.

Causing Elyris having felt surprisingly content to know these things haven't changed, to then gently wrap the young prince in her tail.

Before then comfortably bringing him to her lap having now had some time to think of it all and the questions themselves it seems?

Causing her to then curiously nod having known the jest of it.

"I'd like to stay in The Imperial Quarter with Hanah and.. practice and eat with Aurel in the morning and at night? I want to meet his sisters and also.. Hanah's mother again? She was my mother too even if she didn't give birth to me?

"I'd also want to find my birth mother.. I want to know why she-I'd just like to ask her some questions and see if she really wanted to be my mother.. I just want to know even if it turns out she hates me?"

"And I've never visited those vaults.. and if I can I'd like to get Aurel a present since it's his birthday? And I'd also want to get stronger even if I don't become a legendary mage right away.."

Elyris mentally confessed causing Jade's eyes to then surprisingly sparkle with pride before then crawling over and hugging both.

"You're really too cute! I can't promise anything? But! If it helps.. I'll send some of my shadows to visit the hidden Kingdoms of The Brown Tailed Inari! From what I know their Queens are supposed to be a permanent thing like Klarine and Kassandra are! So I'll look around!"

"And while doing so! Also, give them a surprise of a lifetime! The Brown Tailed Inari should keep track of those kinds of things too! And since you're a royal they probably already know that you exist some way or the other?"

"Which would no doubt only give you even more privileges and even a title since you're still a Brown Tailed Inari Princess after all!"

"I'll set it up after I find out what I can about your mommy! For now, you two will need to focus on Amber's three-month training camp!"

Jade teasingly reminded surprising both Elyris and the young prince having momentarily forgotten all about the training camp itself all the while reminding Elyris of something else entirely!

Causing Jade having guessed 'what' to then playfully point to the ring full of everything she made her earlier surprising even more Elyris having also forgotten all about it.

Before then surprisingly rushing off and into Jade's closet to get changed!

Causing the now curious young prince to then adorably pout his heart out at such an injustice! Having had Elyris's blissfully majestic tail of fluff so rudely ripped away from him.

However, after immediately calming down he was now in Jade's lap with his head on her chest while Jade both hugged him and teasingly kissed his cheeks causing the young prince to then adorably attempt to dodge since it was like a game!

Unfortunately, he lost this battle! And after ten minutes of this Elyris finally left the closet surprising both!

Elyris now wore an extravagant yet strangely traditional brown-tailed Inari Royal Dress and boots that looked like a fusion of gold, caramel brown, and golden honey covered in strange Inari patterns that radiated sparkling ethereal gold.

And didn't look entirely Inari rather than its a much more ancient form that clearly swayed from normal Inari Royal Patterns the young prince had seen but strangely enough made the dress look like a priceless piece of art with a minor kimono aspect mixed in?

Complimenting her equally extravagantly beautiful golden honey and caramel brown mask that matched it perfectly and radiated something mysterious all the while covered in the same patterns if not a little more prominent and even more detailed.

All the while only revealing her gorgeous now glowing honeyed eyes complimenting her flawless caramel skin, hair, ears, and tail giving her an overwhelmingly majestic.

Yet strangely mysterious charm that no doubt outlined and amplified by her own delicate royal features.

Causing the young prince's nose to then not so surprisingly bleed! Surprising him even more since it only ever did so when looking at someone's face! Causing him to then adorably make a mental note?

All the while causing Jade to then adorably wipe away the blood from his nose before then happily smiling.

Having felt immense satisfaction at the fact that Elyris both already knew how to wear it and how to make it look utterly seamless through her natural beauty alone.

"I'm so proud! You didn't even need instructions and yet you wear it like a true queen! You were outrageously beautiful before but now you're downright gorgeous incarnate! The dreamy brown-tailed inari princess stealing hearts left and right!"

"You'd be even more dangerous if you removed your mask! It's like a seal containing all of that overwhelming beauty hidden away!

"But since you don't like others you don't trust seeing your face I'll respect it! Now how does it feel?! Do you like the material?!"

"I made sure everything you're wearing was 'autofit' so it should fit you perfectly even if you choose to become even more mature one day!"

Jade excitedly bragged causing Elyris to then happily nod before then hopping on the bed and removing her mask.

Revealing her golden honey and dark caramel brown makeup she had thrown together since her birth mother wore the same and she had always remembered but never had any to attempt the same!

Causing her to then once again wrap her tail around the young prince before then following up with wrapping her arms around him since he was always surprisingly warm and simply hugging him had strangely reassured her at times.

Causing the young prince having had finally seen her face to then immediately hold his nose out of fear of getting her tail wet with blood in a manly manner as all men should!

Before then finally calming down and adorably whispering into Elyris's ear surprising her and after a quick peck on her cheek, the young prince had then blissfully returned to hugging her tail.

Causing poor Elyris to then surprisingly smile before then curiously nodding and wrapping her tail around him even tighter as if not willing to let him go, at least for the time being, to put it simply he was her first pillar since awakening?

No matter how cautious and reluctant she was to originally trust him she had always had the lingering feeling and perhaps also a gut feeling telling her to?

It wasn't divine intervention, or her bloodline rather it was her simply trying to find someone to help her get her equal footing.

And fortunately for her, she found hers right away and what surprised her, even more, was that the pillar itself was quite permanent and was even willing to carry her if needed? As for Keira, she was the secret pillar willing to do the same?

Her former pillars were Malik, her birth mother, and Hanah's mother who was still a pillar but one she was far too careful not to break since she simply couldn't replace her as for her 'parents'.. they had already turned to dust over time ensuring she'd still have another?

All the while only hoping Hanah and Octavia could one day also become pillars themselves causing Elyris to then curiously nod once more before then looking down to the young prince playing with her mask.

"Thank you Aurela.."

Elyris surprisingly thanked only this time it wasn't through mental message rather a very refined and serene voice that felt like warm hot chocolate on a winter's night surprising even Jade!

And causing the young prince to then adorably drop her mask on her tail before then happily kissing her cheek with an adorably teary yet happy expression having immediately felt his heart melt after hearing her call him Aurela.

"I love you!"

The young prince tearfully confessed before then adorably kissing her cheeks repeatedly! Causing her having not expected such a confession to then nod before then playing with the young prince some more.

Only this time she used her tail to direct his kisses causing the young prince to then happily follow along.

Before then finally he had taken her first kiss surprising the young prince having been directed by her tail to do so causing Elyris to then nod.
