With Kiwi and Soul reconciled the meeting went back to planned with everyone adoring the now very shy ven who goes to stand behind his fiancee with red cheeks and embarrassed mumblings, hoping the ground would open and swallow him whole.
Everyone laughs lightly at the adorable display. Kiwi was now carrying Chula as the little one plays happily with his new papa.
"So we shall proceed to the gifting, and then the date for the welcome party shall be announced khrub. Also, I was told P'Thame and P'Lhong have already set a date for their wedding so planning shall start taking place. Another thing is that N'Em's birthday is coming up in two weeks. Same as our fairy Prince, P'Sum. Same month same day different year. Congrats to both of you" Kengwang smiles.
Everyone cheered and Sumphun squeals excitedly waving to little Morakot who smiled broadly and waves back. He had grown accustomed to almost everyone in the family after spending two weeks being fawned over by everybody. He especially loves his baby brother and cousins and it made him feel not alone like he used to before.
"And P'Thame deprived me of such wonderful news. But no problem khrub. I have a birthday twin and he is very adorable na. Sers this birthday would be super-duper exciting" Sum squeals making everyone laugh at his adorableness.
So the gifting proceeds with every member of the family giving the new members of the family a gift chosen specially for them. Finally, it is Kengwang's turn to give his gifts he started with his godson.
He gave baby Kengwang 10% shares of his gaming company which he co-owns with Lim, an estate that is acts passive income for his future and a gold bracelet that has Chula's name engraved with tiny clear sapphire diamonds. The bracelet also has a tracking device in it just in case of emergency. Then gifted Soul an island in country S. And also a bracelet the same as baby Kengwang.
He gifted Morakot 15% of his gaming company and a jewelry box 'encasing' a rear adult fist sized bloodstone that is over two hundred years old since the little gama loves collecting precious stones. N'Em couldn't contain his excitement and showed his grandpa his new precious gem. Mu Lhong was gifted a private island in A and was given the tiara of the first Medethan Queen. Duchess Esmeralda. Real mother of Thamp and Thame. Lhong bows as Kengwang placed the emerald-encrusted kokoshnik tiara in his hands and his eyes moistened with tears.
Thamp is confused and stunned
'Country A..?'
"The Bannoshik household is expected in Country A as soon as possible. Duchess Emeraldo would like to see her son-in-law, grandsons and their respective partners, and also great-grandsons. The ban has been lifted" Kengwang announced with small smile
Thamp gasped looking at Kengwang with eyes blown wide.
A ban which was placed by the Imperial Dowager Queen. The great matriarch never approved of her third born, Chasai's secret marriage to the foreign duchess. So she had made sure to break up the young couple right after Tul had turned four.
Three years later, Prince Chasai had been forced to marry someone of the dowager queen's choosing only for her to realize that the so-called "perfect traditional girl" was a murderer and thief a decade after.
She not only secretly killed the young duchess Esmeralda and claimed Thame to be hers after losing her own child before the it could be born, but she also emotionally and mentally abused Thamp from the moment she married Prince Chasai. Wanting to make him hated by his own family. Which fortunately didn't work.
After the truth came out, everything started to spiral from there onwards. Now seven years later, things have been solved and the van that has been there for twenty two years, has finally been lifted.
The last time Thamp had steped in Country A was eighteen years ago, for his mother's funeral. After that him, his father and brother were completed banned from ever stepping there.
Thamp was in a moment of shock as tears pooled in his eyes
"We can finally go back?" Thamp whispers
"Yes Phi. I'm sorry it took me long to get it lifted" Kengwang sighs. The situation surrounding his second uncle's marriage was very complicated. He was not yet born when it started but now that he is the Crown Prince everything has been solved.
Thamp gives a deep bow which Mu Long followed. His eyes filled with tears.
Kengwang rushed to raise them up
"Oohoo~ Phi'. You are my big brother so by default Duchess Esmeralda is my mother by default too khap. No need for thanks at all" Kengwang smiles. Thamp hugs him, fighting back the tears that threaten to fall. He felt so grateful. So grateful.
"She would have been very proud of you P'Thamp for keeping your promise. You deserve more than this but for now, this was what I could get from Devilisa"
"Thank you Kengwang. Thank you Soo much"
Kengwang pats his back in comfort. No words could come out. After they break apart. Kengwang gently wipes the senior's tears. Although he considers all of his cousin psychopaths, he still hates to see them hurt and distressed.
Amongst them, Shura is considered the strongest most reliable Phi. Always steadfast and hardworking with strong air of confidence. It is very rare to see him this emotional.
After Thamp calmed down enough, he turns to Thame.
"Ai'Thame we are finally going to see mama. She will be soo happy to see you and N'Key. I'm sure she misses you a lot" Thamp tried to chuckle, but was overcome with emotions as Thame hugged him tightly crying on his shoulder.
"Shh... Still a crybaby like always. You should be happy we are going to meet mother huh" he teases Even though he was sniffling himself. "Even though Phi is sure Mama always watches over us. We will just get to know her better. Then we look through old pictures" Thamp comforts his brother.
After everything was calmed it was Phir's turn to receive his gift. Reaching for the necklace around his neck, Kengwang pulls out a diamond ring he kept hidden for a while now.
"I was told by grandma that in all four generations of great and powerful Imperial Queens, their engagement gemstone comes from the first mine that is gifted to a future Imperial Queen. It represents my oath that I am willing to submit myself to my future Imperial Queen and take utmost care of them. I dug this stone with my hands. Carved out the jade that pales to your elegance and made this ring. With a strong prayer and wish, that P'Thongphir will grant me the honour of being my future Imperial Queen na khap"
He wanted to go on his knees but Phir holds him up, shaking his head. His two colored eyes filled with love and a sweet smile
"P'Phir.."
"Don't kneel. Talk. My Kengwang shouldn't kneel" he smiles, his voice soft.
Kengwang sighs helplessly with smile but nods
"Will P'Phir please make me a great sen by marrying me khap?"
"You are a great sen already my Chula khap. Yes. Phi will marry you khap" he smiles broadly.
Kengwang felt like he could hear the fireworks as he kissed his most beloved. Everyone cheering loudly and clapping in the back.
He felt escastic.
So damn happy. When they broke off the kiss, he gently wore the ring on the long elegant finger. Giving a soft love filled kiss on Phir's knuckles. He didn't realise he is already tearing up until he raised his raised his head to look at his now fiancee.
"This rak ma P'Khamphir khrub" he whispers
"This rak ma my Kengwangchulalongkorn khap" the ven says with a little tease
"P'Phir ~"
********************
"Crazy child, finally gotten someone that has you wrapped around his little finger" Buabee teased as he took a seat on the couch in the big family hall.
"I have always had him khap. I was too young to make a move" Keng smirks at his cousin's ven husband.
"Ohoo~ Cocky much" Buabee stretched his legs forward before placing them on the other end of the couch. Kengwang raised his head from his phone to look at the elegant hybrid ven lying down delicately. To the family, Bua is a ray of sunshine in the life of his stupid cousin Kengark.
Whiles Kengark used to look like a brooding mafia head ready to kill at anytime but he was a walking disaster who looked for trouble just for the thrill of it. BuaBee was one of the very few people who could rein him in without much effort.
In just a simple gray sweatpants, white muscle tee and white socks, the world renowned surgeon still manages to look as beautiful as always. But his baby, P'Phir is still the most gorgeous and cutest ven there is.
"Where are the little devils of yours?" He asked turning his attention back to his phone.
"Phun and Yan are somewhere soaking up the attention of their grandparents while Nam is stuck on N'Em and baby Kengwang. Saying he has a new big brother and a baby brother" BuaBee replies taking his phone to check for any work-related messages.
"Mm~ Ok"
Not up to ten minutes later Ark, Hao, Shura, Thamp and Thame strode in.
"N'Demon!!!" Shura
"Ai'Satt!!"Minghao
"Idiot!!!" Thame
"I can't believe the Devil will be getting married soon" Ark
He went over to kiss his wife and couldn't resist plopping down on him with a content sigh. Bua let's out an "oof!!"
"Get your big ass off me!!" Bua groans
"Mai~"
The crown prince just rolls his eyes at them and continue scrolling through his phone. Trying to block out their existence. Very annoying cousins.
*Tch
"Let's beat his ass in a battle" Hao suddenly says. His eyes squinting in excitement
"As if you can" Keng clicks his tongue
"I know I can" Minghao grins stupidly
"When was the last time any of you beat me in any battle?" Keng raised his brow.
"I remember me and N'Hiran whoop you in a horse race just a year ago N'Demon" Kitmongkhoul walks in holding his son by the hand.
"Ar Keng!!!" Little Yothan run over to his uncle jumping on him. Kengwang groan at the impact.
"You baby monster what have you been eating. You are more heavier than the last time you jumped on me"
"Everything Mae cook khap. With lots of meat popcorn!!!" Little Yothan beams
Now the Sen couldn't help but chuckle at the four years old sen. He ruffled his hair the lifted him unto his lap.
"Ar'Keng khap, where is Mae Noi khap?" Little Yothan inquired looking around
"He is with Ar'Lim and his parents khap" Keng answers
"Mae Noi be Ar'Keng husband khap?"
"Yes pup" he grins
"Yay!!!~~ Daddy!! Mae Noi my new Uncle!!" he shouted happily.
"Khap~" Minghao chuckles answering his son
Everyone just laughs at the little sen's cuteness
"How about we hold a game week? That way I can finally get your customized Mercedes monster bike" Hao smirks.
"P you can just order for the bike why do you want mine?" Keng sighs. Feeling an incoming headache
"As trophy" Minghao grins
"..."
"You want a ten million dollars customized monster bike as a trophy just to annoy N'Keng's?" Khoul rolls his eyes at his husband "not that I don't agree with it"
"P'Khoul~" Kengwang whines
"Ao~ He is being too cocky now that he has finally gotten a wife" Hao laughs, placing his head on his Khoul's lap.
"Very true. So I vote for a sports week. Where you are to participate in every challenge asked of you" Shura chortle
"But I'm not the only sen getting married. P'Thamp, Thame, and P'Aat is also getting married don't forget idiot Lim too. They are rich too. No need to torment me alone." Keng whines in annoyance
BuaBee and Khoul laugh at the crown prince's misfortune of being the youngest in the family.
"But you are the richest stupid!" Thame sneers unamused
"Did I tell you how much I hate all of you recently?" Keng sneers back at them.
They just laughed at him.
"I swear you will make me go bankrupt before my firstborns are born" he sighs
