Surprising the young prince having had not been able to see who it was due to the blanket causing Klarine to then smile before then playfully shaking her head after also noticing her much older daughter.

"My 'sweetest' Talia? And Melanie as well? To think we'd have such a 'fruitful' reunion so soon?"

"I suppose it doesn't 'truly' matter! I missed you two quite dearly, as for my precious 'treat' I don't believe it was his intention to contact me so soon? No matter?"

"I should take 'advantage' of this chance before I'm so rudely interrupted 'moments' from now? You should already have the memory crystal of both I and my youngest daughter Ophelia? It's quite unfortunate that she's not awake-"

Klarine surprisingly confessed before then being cut off causing Melanie to then ignore her and continue observing causing Talia to then slightly frown.

"Mother, I've missed you and sisters dearly.. I'll visit you tonight? Now, where is the child born of Lindie and Bradley?"

"Is she alive? What state is she in? Did she kill anyone? How long would it take to get her here? And what do you recommend I give Aurelius for his birthday?"

Talia adorably asked with an adorably curious yet surprisingly neutral expression causing Klarine to then surprisingly sigh.

"If you're 'truly' visiting your 'poor' and 'neglected' mother, be sure to bring several bottles of 'chilled' celestial grape wine, grape juice, and chocolate fudge cake from Bos?"

"As for Princess 'Serenity' Serpa or Serena for 'short', she's still a 'virgin' and hasn't lost her first kiss or anything as 'silly' as that?"

"Unfortunately 'little' Lindie hadn't had the time to truly raise her so at the age of six she began living with me and became a 'big' sister to Ophelia and a daughter to myself?"

Klarine honestly explained all the while carefully running her fingers through Ophelia's hair while she slept surprising the young prince.

Having had forgotten the fact that Klarine The First Empress of The Ophidian Empire was still a mommy after all?

Causing Melanie and Talia after seeing this to then slightly smile.

Having missed their mother deep down no matter how long they have been separated from her causing Klarine to then slightly smile having reminisced raising all of her daughters and immediately continue.

"Lindie of course visits her quite often, and I have already explained to Serena her situation in its entirety having honestly seen no point in hiding it from her? She had hoped her father would've visited her before her 'own' visit?"

"Despite being Bradley's daughter as well she had instead inherited the most from her mother be it her 'appearance', and even her brain and personality?"

"Along with everything else she picked up from her two mothers? So I highly 'doubt' she'd be pressured to visit before she 'planned' to?"

"You'd have a better chance meeting her through visiting her yourself? Now enough about my sweetest Serena and Ophelia!"

Klarine surprisingly ranted surprising everyone causing Talia to then hesitantly nod and the young prince to then happily smile wanting to meet other mommy and sister too!

Despite both seeming scary especially after overhearing his daddy causing Klarine to then finally continue further.

"As for gift recommendations? I highly 'recommend' going into the depths of The Celestial Hand's prison and opening 'several' of the 'containment' cells and taking whatever resembles a cute little girl and wrapping her up in a big bow?"

Klarine joked causing Talia to then seriously nod having always taken her mother's advice and words very seriously and very much would unleash a terrifying horror locked away and suppress it with all her power and wrap it in a giant bow as a present.

Causing Melanie to then helplessly frown having not wanted to be involved in such things let alone take responsibility for it!

Causing the young prince to then adorably look to everyone with an adorably confused expression before then finally having a chance to talk causing him to then happily nod.

"I love mommy Klarine! An-And Ophelia's the cutest! I-I missed mommy Klarine! S-So.. Aurel will visit big sister Ser-Serena, Ophelia, and mommy Klarine first.. bu-but it's a secret! Aurel won't tell! An-And Aurel will send crystals and letters!"

The young prince excitedly whispered having not wanted to wake up Ophelia causing Klarine to then surprisingly giggle causing the young prince to then adorably giggle as well having had enjoyed his previous gigging session with Klarine.

After the giggles had finally ended Klarine had spoken to the young prince within a silent barrier with Talia making 'several' surprisingly serious suggestions.

And even going as far as to ask Talia for a favor, however, unfortunately, the young prince had his ears covered and had instead adorably decided to kiss Talia's cheek and leave the barrier to go do something else.

All the while promising to come back causing Klarine to giggle and Talia to then slightly nod and the young prince to then adorably hop down from her lap and leave the sound barrier.

Before then surprisingly being cut off by Aldra and Bradley having had not noticed them earlier.

Causing the young prince to then excitedly hug his mommy to the fullest causing Aldra to then lovingly smile before then happily kissing his cheeks causing the young prince to then happily giggle and Bradley to then smile.

"My precious prince was always a mommy's boy! Speaking of mothers.. I spoke to Blair's mother a moment ago? Quite strange to see an Imperial Princess of The Ophidian Empire ruling on such an isolated continent?"

"I spoke to her about the matter and gave both the consort business and the conference matter as a whole some thought?"

"To take away from the 'formalities', all three of us had 'collectively' decided that the decision should be Princess Blair's decision alone-"

Bradley helplessly confessed having known his precious prince would never do such things but unfortunately it was a good lesson and he needed to hear it if he hadn't heard it already?

Before then being cut off causing Blair to then immediately frown having already 'mentally' agreed even after she was shackled and even mentioned this to her mother.

Having wanted to take full advantage of this to attain more freedom before then frowning even more.

"With all due 'respect' Celestial King.. Bramley? So-Sorry High Queen Amber mentioned some names before but.. I-I didn't really feel like remembering them while being 'shackled', n-no offense intended?"

"An-And I agree I should have been punished for reading that script but.. I told my mother I wanted this and no one forced this decision! Queen Kethyllia made it very clear to him and even explained it all in a way he could understand"

"And he 'did' understand it and even apologized and removed my 'shackles'.. he told me I had a choice and said the same in front of her majesty Aldra, so I'd still very much like to 'continue' with these arrangements and if needed I'll 'prove' it-"

Blair seriously chimed in having originally wanted it to be made very clear, however, unfortunately, she didn't count on herself adorably stuttering much like the young prince does on occasion.

Causing her to then unknowingly become teary in embarrassment especially when she was speaking to the young prince's father The Celestial King of all people before then ultimately being cut off.

Causing Bradley having had his name mixed with Bromley's to then gently chuckle and Aldra to then 'gently' elbow his gut having learned it from Amber, for him teasing poor Blair no matter how semi 'serious' he may have 'sounded' at the time.

Causing Aldra to then gently shake her head before then reassuringly hugging Blair believing even if she was a 'slightly' more mature princess 'mentally'.

She was still very much a young child and shouldn't have even been 'placed' into this situation by anyone be it, god.

Or 'otherwise' not to mention having been used in such a way causing Aldra to then gently wipe away the tears before then curiously whispering into Blair's ear surprising her causing Aldra to then gently sigh.

"Blair is truly precious.. unfortunately until you show your 'true' feelings and intentions I'm afraid I can't allow for such arrangements?"

"You've stopped yourself quite a few times now, you're already quite uncomfortable with these theatrics so you needn't worry, even if you become a 'bully' I'd much prefer that than you 'choosing' to remain in such an 'uncomfortable' state?"

Aldra teasingly whispered with a surprisingly gentle yet knowing expression causing Blair to then surprisingly become teary before then reluctantly nodding having felt she was both truly lucky and unlucky due to Aldra seeing through her and Klarine's insults.

"I-I'm not nice mothe-mommy Aldra.. I went with 'that' script and did so with a pass-passion! Bu-But now that I'm a 'full' serpentess.."

"I don't know anymore! I-I'll at least 'try' to show my feelings an-and I'll even tell you my thoughts! I-I promise! Please don't hate me mommy Aldra-"

Blair tearily whispered with an adorably confused yet conflicted expression having covered the sides of her face to prevent anyone else from seeing her causing the young prince to then adorably become teary as well having have managed to see her tears.

Before then finally being cut off causing Aldra to then gently shake her head before then reassuringly kissing both the young prince's and Blair's foreheads surprising Blair before then being cut off once more.

"Your mother was quite adamant that I 'test' you? Please don't take it to heart, my sweet Blair"

"You didn't deserve to be treated in such a way, or to be used as an instrument to damage your mother, such 'barbaric' scheming and the involvement of children is truly shameful.."

"As for these 'unique' arrangements? If you 'two'.. truly wish for this, I won't stop it however, I'd 'imagine' if you are 'unable' to marry a simple ceremony would? For the celestials there 'is' such a thing as a 'wedding' ceremony for consorts?"

"Unfortunately it's not 'extravagant' and quite similar to the vows of marriage, however, they are done alone and as of right now neither of you are old enough to commit to such things, you needn't worry about such things for the moment?"

"The title of consort is given no matter if you have committed to such a ceremony, so I'd imagine sweet Blair needn't worry about being left out of any 'special' ceremonies in the future?"

Aldra gently confessed before then playfully bonking both Blair's and the young prince's noses causing Blair to then embarrassingly contemplate and the young prince to then adorably giggle before then noticing Molly approaching.

Causing him to then excitedly hug her as if he hadn't seen her in forever causing her to then curiously notice the young prince's overwhelmed expression.

Before then worriedly nodding and carefully taking the young prince's hand and leading him to both an isolated table.

Before then pulling out both chairs and sitting the young prince down causing her to then worldly feel his head.

Before then being cut off causing the young prince to then tearily whisper everything concerning him be it his fears, how he felt overwhelmed, and asking what to do.

Surprising Molly having not expected to hear this coming from him believing out of both of them he looked the most stable when compared to the two.

Causing her to then hesitantly nod having felt both needed and happy he'd use her as an anchor for such emotions.

Before then quickly remembering the deal in two years causing her to then hesitatingly nod once more.

"I.. I don't care about consorts, s-so long as I'm the 'first' Fiance I-I don't care! An-And daddy Theodore told me about Blair.. I.. I didn't care about my mana and now that she doesn't have it anymore.. I still don't care"

"Molly doesn't care about her, but for Lilyana.. she's awful! Sh-She's smart.. but she's an idiot? She 'gave' me that awful artifact that broke.. I-I wouldn't have hurt Grace but I.. never mind! Molly will help Aurel"

"I don't know what Aurel should do with gifts.. but don't let them overwhelm you! It's just gifts an-and 'more' playmates? Nothing changes.. Molly is.. I'm here so it'll be like training again? I-I'll still need partner!"

"I missed training with Aurel.. so Molly can always talk at training o-or whenever Aurel wants? I'll train in the morning like Aurel an-and I'll join Aurel in the garden naps! S-So Aure-you shouldn't worry! Today's your day.. so these things don't matter!"

Molly surprisingly ranted surprising the young prince and causing Molly to then quickly hug him.

Causing him to then adorably kiss her cheek and Molly to then slightly blush before then remembering something causing Molly to then excitedly whisper into his ear.

Having wanted to tell him about her big sisters from the sanctuary and their own training in Lady Sylvia's Dreamworld apparently?
