"If you want to explore during that time while you wait they'll go with you and if you're hungry or want to buy something I'll pay for it, I'll always protect and pamper my only Holy Prince no matter what!"

"Otherwise, how could I call myself The Ethereal Golden Goddess?! I don't anyways but the sentiment is still there!"

Aurora playfully explained causing Celes to bleh and the young prince to then look to Aurora in amazement before then adorably pouncing as if an excited Feless even if he didn't have the ears or tail.

However, they did 'imagine' him as a Feless and that's all that matters!

Causing Aurora to then pat his head and look around as if looking for someone until finally, a wild Sinclair had appeared!

Not necessarily wild rather refined and respective while wild in the way that he randomly appears! Causing him after noticing the group to then respectively bow.

"Your majesty, your holinesses, and young lady Snow Leopard, It's a tremendous honor to greet you on this fine morning. The Auction has yet to start and there are no snow elves in attendance at this time, if one of our rarer clients do appear we'll inform you right away as they enter the capital"

"It's quite early so in the case where his holiness falls asleep we'll prepare a pillow and blanket and perhaps even a VIP room if necessary. Speaking of just that, if her holiness's arrangements remain unchanged, the two VIP rooms have been arranged within the Auction room"

"Attendants have also been arranged, be it from snacks, breakfast, and even dinners you'd need only ask, as for the payment methods her holiness has already cleared such things so you need only bet and not worry about the price"

Sinclair gently reassured before then being cut off by a Sea Elf Assistant wearing a platinum blue dress, boots, and fishnet stockings covered in similar insignias and platinum patterns.

Meaning she was an assistant branch manager and oversaw other matters giving both her and Sinclair surprisingly equal power?

She looked around the same age as Annie if not a little shorter and younger resembling Tum as if she was possibly a 'distant' cousin or perhaps simply related?!

All of which surprised both Celes and even Aldra to an extent since you normally wouldn't see Sea Elves doing such things let alone leaving their homeland causing Aurora to then simply shrug.

"Be it Sea Elves, Dark Elves, Void Elves, Elves, High Elves, Snow Elves, or any other race, 'base' or not, everyone has an opportunity to start a career here?"

"From starting off as a clerk and advancing to whatever they wanted, if they're capable, dedicated, and had an open mind then what's not to love?"

"I do have a bank in The Kingdom of The Sea Elves anyways even if she's the first to transfer over? Right, how do you enjoy the mainland branch, Lady Ara?"

Aurora curiously asked surprising the young prince especially since she reminded him of Tum, in truth she was simply flawlessly beautiful and when he thought of Tum growing up to be the same he simply couldn't stop blushing!

Causing Aldra to then gently sigh.

And Lady Ara to then gently nod with a knowing smile having apparently noticed the young prince's obvious glances.

"It was quite difficult for me to adapt the first three months at least during the beginning. However, fortunately enough my sister elves from the elves and wood elves helped me adapt fairly quickly, I was quite hesitant at first fearing what I had been taught previously?"

"The Sea Elves are quite hesitant when dealing with anyone who isn't an Elf, but with time I've discovered such fears were simply unfounded, however despite such improvements and realizations I still believe it's the best to handle 'elven' affairs, for the time being, I truly thank you for being given such an opportunity"

Lady Ara gently confessed having not wanted to delay them further before then playfully sending the young prince a teasing wink.

Causing the young prince to then adorably blush even more before then shyly hiding behind his mommy causing all everyone to then smile.

Resulting in after the adorable antics and some talk the young prince asking Gemma to join them while Vina was still off at one of Celes's Auction Houses.

Causing the young prince to then adorably pout while Lady Ara led them to their VIP Rooms overlooking the auction.

Both Celes and Aurora had taken a room as not to ruin the young prince's moment with his mommy while Gemma played with mini Rory.

While the young prince after some convincing convinced her with the nudge from Aldra to join them rather than simply standing around resulting in all three sitting together.

On this massive halved oval couch that looked to belong to more of a VIP Section from a club all the while still extravagant!

Two of his assassins had stood at the entrance of the door while Aurora's guards stood on the outside resulting in the young prince convincing the leader to uncloak and sit with them too!

Resulting in the leader of his guard speaking with Gemma while both played with the mini Rory while the High Elf, Cherry Blossom Elf, and Wood Elf Attendants waited on the side since no one wanted anything at the moment.

Funnily enough, both Aldra and the young prince and perhaps even mini Rory were surprised that Cheery Blossom 'Elves' actually existed?! They were rarer than the Brown Tailed Inari!

So much so that everyone thought they were but myths or perhaps a joke. Not in the way that the race itself was a joke rather the rumor of their existence was. Which was never truly negative rather only ever a mystery or grand myth?!

What was even funnier was the fact that she was as flawlessly beautiful and comparable to that of the many elven races he had seen! Of course, the other attendants were quite gorgeous but not in the same sense.

Aside from a fusion of many influences, she wore a cute pink cherry blossom attire and boots with the classic temple and bank of Aurora multi-rare metal trim, fishnet-like stockings, or rather cherry blossom stockings.

Complimenting her pale yet sparkingly cherry blossom pink hair, eyes, lips, skin, and extremely delicate yet stunning features giving her an overwhelmingly mythical yet happy charm.

Apparently, her nickname was Lady Cherry and Lady Cherry served the cherry-related snacks all the while subtly teasing the young prince resulting in a handful of giggles.

Soon enough however the auction started via the introduction of The Auctioneer and the beginning of the auction!

Her name was Lady Lu and she was a Brown Tailed Inari.. surprising the young prince to no end since outside of Elyris he has never seen one before and the fact that she was an auctioneer was simply mind-boggling!

She looked to be slightly younger than Lady Ara and wore an elegant brown and honied-toned dress and boots.

Covered with intricately gorgeous brown-tailed inari patterns with several insignias and a mask quite similar to Elyris's albeit less extravagant yet priceless nonetheless.

Complimenting her caramel-like skin, hair, inari tail, and ears giving her a gorgeous yet majestic charm and causing the young prince to then adorably blush at such a sight.

Fortunately, the glass was one-sided and soundproofed to an extent all of which were optional and could be changed at a push of a crystal causing the young prince to then whisper into his mommy's ear causing her to then knowingly nod.

Before then sneakily sending Celes a mental message resulting in Celes's rift being opened within the room itself and Elyris finally appearing!

After seemingly having spent quite some time with Hanah's mother who in truth was simply Elyris's second mother who was quite furious at Malik after being informed of quite literally everything that had transpired.

Resulting in her then cradling her and making up for the missed time in the timeless space?

Until finally Elyris was informed of her first pillar and little brother missing her by Celes.

Resulting in her finally appearing causing the young prince to then immediately pounce without a second of hesitation! And once he saw Elyris, it was a given!

He simply missed his big sisters so much and loved Elyris to the point it resulted in the two emotions then mixing.

Before then combining making the young prince quite ecstatic since not only did he get to spend the day with his mommy but Elyris as well!

Causing Aldra to smile and Elyris to then wrap him in her tail before then curiously observing the environment the people and The Brown Tailed Inari she saw on the auction stage?!

To put it simply she wasn't told anything else outside of her little brother needing her and her jumping at the opportunity meaning she was both surprised and confused on her arrival causing her after several moments to then notice Aldra.

And after realizing she was her little brother's mommy and was already informed of such things she sat on Aldra's lap with the young prince on her's.

Resulting in him being in utter bliss while Elyris sent a wave of mental messages back and forth with Aldra.

And after being updated, introduced, and finding out what she wanted to know she soon focused her attention back on her little brother.

While the auctioneer was still going over the rules, suggestions, and anything else really while both were still blissfully wrapped in Aldra's loving arms.

Causing Elyris having felt surprisingly blessed to then finally recollect herself.

"I'm sorry little brother.. I should have come sooner but.. my first pillar needed this, I spoke with mother.. not my birth mother.. I missed her so much and.. I need that too."

"It's hard for me to speak.. even with mental messages.. but mommy helped and I'll try to be better for little brother and Hanah?"

Elyris mentally explained having felt quite muddled albeit much better then before even if she wasn't sure how to talk now.

All of it was simply confusing but.. for her, it could easily be resolved with time despite her being quite embarrassed and wary of how she sounded causing the young prince to then adorably nod.

While Elyris began focusing and examining the Brown Tailed Inari Auctioneer as if seeing one for the first time.. outside of herself looking into the mirror and some memories of her birth mommy?

Until finally the auction had finally begun and at the start, a large display magically appeared on the stage surprising everyone.

Especially what they saw on display! It was nothing but Brown Tailed Inari Statues, masks, swords, sword sheaths, mage staffs, mage spears, spears, armors, jewelry, dresses, attires, tiaras, and even crowns?!

There were three five of The Ancestral Queen of The Brown Tailed Inari, five masks matching said statues, the same for the swords and sheaths and everything else so there were five sets!

They were arranged in the order of Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Ethereal Gold!

Causing the young prince's eyes to then immediately sparkle and the same could be said for Elyris's albeit under her mask.

Causing The Auctioneer to then proudly show off such items.

"Here we have five sets of 'artisanship' originating from my homeland of The Exclusive Brown Tailed Inari! Something rarely ever seen outside of our borders until just recently with this auction alone!"

"The artisan wishes to remain unknown however we did confirm it was a reclusive member of The Royal Family!"

"We will be auctioning off these at one set at a time starting with The Bronze Set at one hundred platinum or the gold equivalent of five hundred thousand!"

Lady Lu teasingly explained surprising everyone and causing Elyris to then surprisingly shake having really wanted one however surprisingly enough despite such treasures only a few had bidded.

Resulting in it only reaching about nine hundred platinum or nine hundred thousand gold as if they started off with the cheap stuff and simply wanted to get it out of the way.

Resulting in the young prince betting one thousand platinum and winning the bronze set!

Causing the auctioneer having noticed a VIP was in fact interested in such works causing her to then playfully nod before then moving on!

"Congratulations to one of our VIPS for winning such a work of art! It will be delivered to your room shortly!"

"Now moving on to the next! However, I'll be changing this up a bit by putting two sets in 'one' starting with both The Silver and Golden Sets! Starting at twenty-nine hundred platinum or two hundred and ninety million gold!"

Lady Lue cheerfully added resulting in the bets stopping at a surprising eight thousand platinum resulting in the young prince adorably calming down before then betting nine thousand platinum and ultimately winning it.

Resulting in him spending nine thousand and nine hundred platinum in total which was the equivalent of nine hundred and ninety 'million' gold..

Causing the young prince having not been told the gold equivalent to then adorably wait while ignoring the platinum and ethereal golden sets, the platinum set was bought by an Inari Princess perhaps Shiro's big sister or one of her aunts.

While as Aurora had bought The Ethereal Golden one for herself!

Causing the young prince having now received all three separate Brown Tailed Inari Space Rings made of the same material of each separate set to then shyly hand them to Elyris surprising her.

Before then reluctantly accepting the bronze and golden sets while telling him to keep the silver set?

Perhaps because he was an Elf and her little brother meaning she wanted him to have something to remind him of her.

Causing the young prince to then adorably smile his heart out while hugging her tail and his mommy's arms to the fullest while the next display had finally appeared!

However, Aldra wanted to continue such lessons since spending nine thousand and nine hundred platinum wasn't a simple matter for a child even if Aurora paid for it and hadn't minded at all.
