3 Chapter 3 (2/2)
”Aahh” Alexis turned his head away from what was infront him.
He never thought of this situation, ”Alexis, no need to be shy, just drink the milk~” she said with a gentle smile and brought Alexis close to her breast again...
'mmm... fuck it, I'm only a baby and I need SUSTENANCE! After all I need to do ”that” job...' Baby Alexis huffed and sucked on the teet and drank milk and went back to sleep again.
Annalise who saw him huff, squealed and hugged him tightly... until the maids had to stop her from suffocating the Crown prince...
'I'll show my intelligence once my vocal cords are properly developed to produce complex sounds... until then I'll just walk once i become two months old!' Alexis thought while closing his eyes.
//Two months later...//
One of the maids of the Empress was taking food to the room belonging to the Crown prince, which was also the Empress's room.
She would always stop a few seconds when she enters the palace of the Empress because of how beautiful it always looked...
Today, she was on duty to take some tiffin for the Empress's brunch.
She entered the heavily guarded Palace where the Empress and the Crown prince resided and was followed by two serious looking male guards towards the Room.
Six female guards were infront of the Room and stopped the visitors, they checked her for any suspicious objects and once she was clear, they let her in...
The moment the maid entered the room, she heard cheers from a very soothing and gentle female voice and giggling baby noises.
She then got the shock of her life... a two month old baby was walking towards the Empress who was on the floor...
”YOUR HIGHNESS, PLEASE DO NOT LET THE FLOOR DIRTY YOU!” The maid begged her Empress who smiled at her gently.
”It's not a big deal, I'm only an Empress not a God... I don't mind it!” Annalise said gently to the young maid.
”!! Empress...” the maid mumbled in shock, she who was a commoner thought that nobles were all pompous and arrogant, but the Empress, the second most powerful person in the Empire was such a 'down to Earth' character...
She quickly placed her brunch carefully as a couple of the Empress's Personal maids walked upto her saying she could leave.
The maid then told her friends of the walking prince which somehow went to the ears of the Emperor who immediately left the Imperial Room and brought with him the ”Supreme Elder of the Imperial Mage Council”...
They set off to the palace of the Empress who was cluelessly playing with baby Alexis.
-●-●-●-
When they entered the room, they saw the two month old baby walking towards Annalise. She looked at the two intruders with a questioning look...
”Annalise, let him check on our child!” the Emperor said in a voice of authority, Annalise although annoyed nodded her head and gently pulled Alexis up and handed him over to the old man wearing an Amber yellow coloured cloak, half of his face was shadowed by the hood and he had a long snow white beard.
He took hold of Alexis gently with his left hand as his right hand glowed, wisps of this light blue mist came out of his hand as he touched Alexis' forehead with his index finger...
He immediately opened his eyes in shock, his entire back drenched in sweat.
”Uncle Philip, what happened?!” Aurelius asked him in panic.
”This child... he's yours is he not?” the old man asked as Aurelius nodded in confirmation but still clueless.
”...Check his mana” the old man said, Aurelius complied but he was scared... 'Could it be... !?' he thought to himself but decided to send a bit of him Mana and check what was inside his son...
The moment Aurelius sent a bit of Mana inside Alexis, he felt like he was in a small dinghy floating in a raging sea that was disturbed by the most violent storm.
He staggered a bit and turned to the old Mage in surprise...
”Uncle... this... haHAHAHAHA!!” He laughed happily for a while until Annalise grabbed him by the ear and demanded answers.
”Annalise my dear, Alexis here has the biggest reserves of Mana I have ever seen!” Aurelius said seriously while Annalise smiled at her son who slept once again in her warmth...
”The sheer amount is insane! If this child were to be trained properly, he would be the most powerful mage in the world! Your Imperial Highness, the Crown prince must become the Emperor! His potential is absurd but make sure you do not disclose any of the matters what happened here! Otherwise the continent may once again be burnt with the flames of war...” the Old Mage warned his nephew...
Aurelius quickly took the necessary steps to prevent the spread of this new information... He was sure that his, Grand Lunar Empire, could defend against the three strongest countries ranked after it, but now that they have some troublesome allied nations, he was sure that the Empire might collapse...
He would never let that happen! The empire was built a thousand five hundred years ago on the lives of many people who fought for it and scores of Emperors who sacrificed themselves for it, he wouldn't want to be the Emperor who ruined his own country, the pressure and stress was getting into him.
Having a child was definitely not easy, especially when you have one with Mana levels a thousand times more than his own and could start a Great war just by existing...
