An added responsibility and new emotions.
The Chambers felt cold from tha situation.
"Immaturity can not be excused because of Age. He is the Crown Prince so, he should also understand the weight of that position."
Aurex expressed his disappointment.
"Especially when —"
Aurelion reacted before he even finished his sentence.
ESPECIALLY WHEN - WHAT?
Aurelion thought.
Aurex took a little pause seeing Aurelion shake his head a little.
"Especially when it's such an important time.
He might be a kid now, but still should have some sense to not trouble his mother at this point of time." Aurex continued his broken statement.
IMPORTANT TIME? WHAT IMPORTANT TIME? DAMN, I AM COMPLETELY CLUELESS BUT IF I ASK HIM DIRECTLY ABOUT WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT, MY AURA WILL DIMINISH.
Aurelion's weird nature came into play again, in his mind.
Meanwhile, from the outside point of view, Aurelion looked bewildered, Unlike his imagination of him being unfazed.
Duke Lunaris gives an amusing smile again.
"Your Majesty, it seems my nephew has no idea about what affairs he is being scolded for.
I believe it would be better to explain the situation to him first." Caelion expresses.
"HUH, THAT CAN'T BE IT." Aurex said with surprise on his face.
"I apologize, Father. But as Duke has stated, I have no prior knowledge of the circumstances I am being scold for."
Aurelion chooses to continue with the flow and talk with graceful words to save his face.
"That's a surprise, I thought she would have selected you as the first person to know it."
"It is also been quite a while too." Aurex murmers.
"Huh, Father?" Aurelion could not hear him properly.
Aurex puts his left foot forward.
"Never mind, Since you are already here, I shall explain it myself."
"So, how should I explain this to you?"
Aurex starts getting all red and flustered.
"Aurelion, I know you are still too little to understand the importance of the matter so, I will try to explain it to you in simpler terms."
"The thing is...." Aurex took a pause. "I mean, you know Aurelion, you have always wanted to be a big brother."
"There's a high chance that you will be getting a younger sibling soon. And—"
"MOM'S PREGNANT?" Aurelion shouted with surprise.
"Wait, how do you know what that means?" Aurex replies instantly.
"Uhhh... Ummm... Yea, yeah I read it in a story book, father. So, I know that being pregnant means a little baby" Aurelion made the excuse.
"Well, I see. Ahem, Ahem. Since you understand what being pregnant means that makes the situation much easier."
"So, what I wanted to tell you is that, during this period your mother needs tons of rest and love but, you keep giving her stress which is bad for her." Aurex explains.
"Yes, Father. If I had known prior, I would have been more cautious for mother's health." Aurelion apologizes.
~Author - FYI, this is a 5 year old talking, dude is not even trying to act like a child.
A LITTLE SIBLING - A BROTHER OR SISTER, WELL THIS IS SUCH A PLEASANT SURPRISE. I WAS A SINGLE CHILD IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE SO I HAVE NEVER KNOWN THE LOVE AND RELATION BETWEEN SIBLINGS.
Aurelion gets emotional, his eyes waters a little.
"Thank you father. Don't worry, I will make sure that mother receives no stress and feels happy all the times." Aurelion said sincerely.
"It is good that I don't need to spend more time on this conversation.
You will now have a responsibility as a big brother too, along with being the Crown Prince and a son." Aurex concludes.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Aurelion concluded the conversation officially.
"I shall take my leave now." Aurelion kneels on one knee.
"Your Grace." He gives a light bow to Duke Lunaris before leaving the room.
Yo guys, Aurelion here.
So, I got to know this later but I'm disclosing it right now for you guys. After a little gathering of information, asking head maid and palace staff, I got to know that my mother is two months and two weeks pregnant but since this world is not that medically advanced, it took some time for her to realize it. The Royal Physician confirmed this to her just last week.
Well, as for what happened, it was simple My Mother simply forgot to tell me due to over affection and love towards me.
I believe this much information should suffice for now. Continue reading to know what happens next.
Aurelion was resting outside for a little while. Duke Lunaris and Emperor Aurex were still inside. After sometime, Caelion came outside.
He saw Aurelion standing thinking of something while leaning against a pillar in the hallways.
"Shall I guess what you were thinking?" Caelion smiled.
"Sure, your grace." Aurelion replied with a smile too.
"Will I be good big brother?"
"Who would mother love more me or him... Or her?"
"How will things change? Things like these, right?"
Caelion grinned.
"Similar but not exactly same." Aurelion replied.
Caelion did a little thinking and then grinned again. Finally, he expressed.
"SO, YOU WANT A BROTHER OR SISTER?"
Caelion asked.
