Months later on the Amoria Palace Aura sat alone on a bench while rubbing her big belly..
Today aswell, her father visited her and it was hard to send him back..
A lot happened within those months ~
She stepped out from becoming the next heir and gave Pietro the title of Crown Prince willingly..
Though her father and the aristocrats were not happy with her decision but still they couldn't do anything about it because they're well aware of her stubbornness..
So the emperor granted her unborn child the title of Grand Duke of Castillo and gave them the Northern part of the empire to secure their future..
Some nobles under Pietro used the form of 'Devils illegitimate child' to change peoples opinions.. Saying that this monster could destroy this empire..
Well they had to go through the emperors fury after that, the emperor searched them and burned them alive...making a public execution..
After that everyone became silent about it but inside their mind they feared the thought of it..
Because it's an empire that was blessed by the goddess.. A devil coming from the royal bloodline made them scared, because the royal bloodline needs to be pure.. They have the goddess's blessings so they can't get mixed with a devils blood.. What if the goddess gets angry?? What will happen then???
Such nonsenses...sigh ~
Well, now finally everything settled ~
Aura will met her due date soon..
Her father wants to hurry and pass the crown to Pietro and go to a retirement.. Well more than a retirement, he wants to enjoy his old age with his daughter and grandchildren in Amoria Palace..
Though no one supported him on his decision, but as stubborn as he is everyone knows they can't stop him anyway..
A few days ago Pietro came to visit Aura and made her sign a contract..
'The contract stated that,
Aura or her child or any other future members of her family can never come back to the Imperial Family or have anything to do with them..
No Grand Ducal member can sit on the throne or kill someone from the Imperial family..
If someone dares to do that, a curse will fall upon them.. A curse that will continue for lifetime..'
After signing the contract a small symbol formed on Aura's left wrist..
"Heh~ Don't worry sister, the curse will only appear if anyone from your side disobeys the vow.. This curse will flow strongly within your newly formed grand ducal family.. It will be fine as long as no one disobeys it..
If someone disobeys this, that little red dot will disappear and a small curse symbol will appear on its place..and all their powers will be sealed..and their future generation will have to suffer from it aswell..
Don't worry sister.. As I said before, It will be fine as long as no one disobeys it ~ "
Aura silently signed it without saying anything..
The little brother she loved so much felt unknown to her.. He seemed like a whole different person..
Is this the real him?
She never thought her little brother could be this twisted..
Aura sighed remembering that day..
She touched her left wrist thinking about the curse..
Then suddenly she remembered something Rion said to her that night of her birthday..
['Aura, I want you to remember something..
Listen carefully..
Everything has an ending.. Weather it's a curse or a blessing..
It's only natural to met its ending at some point..
You only have to look for the key.. The key to destroy the curse and bring happiness.. The key is not far away, The key is within you..
So, close your eyes and look for it, you will find it..']
Aura felt strange for suddenly remembering something..
Because for some reason, the memories of the morning of their last meeting was somehow blurry..
Then why did she suddenly remember this??
She doesn't know ~
She kept pondering over things on her own not knowing that the small flower bed she made from the Amoria Rose's at the back of her balcony were glowing dangerously.. All the flowers bloomed perfectly while shining in black and red hue..
At that dark night the first mix blood was born, with a red dot on his left wrist..
Dark Black hair with red under tones, Sharp cat shaped Red eyes that can see through your soul..just like his father..
And a shiny golden aura just like his mother..
That kid was born under the protection of the Sun...just like his mother and grandfather, aswell as any other Imperial heirs..
He was born to be a Ruler ~
Peoples opinions changed overnight..
The unborn child that they were cursing and fearing became the precious being of the empire..
Why?
Simple ~
Because the goddess choose him..
He can never be a disaster because goddess won't choose something bad for her people..
So,
With the protection of the Sun, that kid was born to rule..
But Alas!
The throne was not for him..
Between the throne and him, there was a Curse..
A cruel curse that was created by his father's blood.....and was already imprinted in him..
So, the throne was not for him or any other mix bloods..
Emperor Austin von Legulas, happily carried his first grandchild and sat beside his daughter..
"......So what should we call him?"
"Well, I'm not good with naming things..but I have a name in my mind.."
Aura meekly said..
"Oh!!"
Her father smiled at her and patted her shoulder encouraging her say it..
"Asterion ~
I want to call him Asterion.."
"Nice!!
I like it!!
Asterion!!
Asterion de Castillo ~"
The Emperor smiled brightly.. Looks like he really liked the name..
"Is that so? What a relief ~
I named him after the two persons I love the most in my life.."
Hearing that her father looked at her with affectionate eyes.. The corner of his eyes were moist a little..
"...and you were always on the top of that list.. That thing never changed.. But this time, I guess this little guy joined you on the top side by side.. "
Aura smiled softly looking at her father and her child..
"Hah~
Hearing this from their daughter is every fathers dream, you know..
Hahahaaa..
This feels great..
Asterion, you are my lucky charm ~"
Emperor Austin smiled and kissed the kid's forehead..
"Asterion ~
Buddy, lets get along well from now on, Okay??"
Aura smiled looking at them..
'Rion ~
Did you see him?
He is our child..Asterion ~
A part of us.. Isn't he lovely??
He looks so much like you.. He was just born but I can't wait to hear him say "Mom"..
Ahahaaa... I'm really an impatient person..
Will he also become obsessed with eating apples like you?
Maybe, who knows??
I have to ask father to make an apple orchard here.. That will be nice, right??
I just hope he grows up as a fine man like you.. I want to give him every happiness that he deserves.. I'll give him your share of love aswell..
Oh!
By the way, I took really good care of the Amoria Rose plant.. And they bloomed perfectly..
They are really very beautiful.. They remind me of us..
I wish someday I can make a big flower garden just with the Amoria Roses.. Can I wish to have a nice walk with you on that garden??
No no!
No more wishes.. Pfft!! I'm scared of wishes now ~
Don't worry about us okay.. We are doing fine.. I hope, where ever you are you're doing fine aswell..
I hope you will remember me.. Because I will never forget you..
I love you Rion..
Take care..'
