The miniature versions of Aldric and Aleron moved towards their mother, while the Earl seemed to be in the second floor of the manor in a secluded room, Maldareth seemed to be at an open space swinging a sword, Elaria looked to be watching him in a space adjacent to where he was training and the five other illegitimate children with their two mothers were shoved to the farthest wing of the manor.
"Maldareth must feel a bit of pressure." Princess Marina said as she watched the miniature version of the Earl's mansion.
"It's obvious that Aldric and Aleron are highly favoured." Lorraine said as she looked at the huge space given to the twins and their mother compared to the remaining illegitimate children and their two moms.
"This is a late introduction but this," Lorraine said, referring to the huge platform that displayed the Earl's manor.
"Is called my playground." Lorraine said with a smile.
"My playground is an ability given to those with high attunement to the spirit of the Earth and everyone's visualization of it is different." Lorraine said, as she watched the little platform.
"By doing this," Lorraine said as she dipped her hand in the shadows of the miniature version of the twins.
"I will be able to find them anywhere." Lorraine said with a smile and eyes that glowed like the Galaxy.
The next morning, Princess Marina was dressed in a sparkly red ball gown with red gloves, an upwards hair do, and a red choker with a red stone in the middle. Moving past her open room door, Princess Marina walked to the dining table with Lorraine a few steps behind her and her five maids a few steps behind Lorraine. As Princess Marina approached the dining room, the five maids dispersed and Lorraine stood next to the chief attendants of the other Princess. Wearing a smile on her face, Princess Marina greeted the Sun and the Moon of the empire before greeting her two older sisters, one of which greeted her back enthusiastically and another who discreetly ignored her before heading to her seat.
"It's always wonderful to have a meal together when we can all make it." The Moon of the empire said with joy.
"We could have had one together if Princess Marina wasn't so ill." Princess Zarya said in a sympathetic tone and Princess Marina gritted her teeth.
Feeling the atmosphere fall a little bit, Princess Marina quickly said "I am fine now."
"I was just a little under the weather in the early hours yesterday. I am sorry for ruining a family breakfast." Princess Marina said with a bowed head and both her parents rushed to tell her to lift her head.
"It's not your fault." said the Moon of the empire.
"It's your first Perihelion after all." the Sun of the empire said with a smile and a wink and breakfast was served.
As the plates were laid out on the table the chief attendants of the Sun and Moon of the empire and three princesses came into the room to help distribute the meal for the imperial family and once their purpose was done they dispersed quickly.
As the meal began, small talk passed around the table.
"I heard that you went for weapons training yesterday despite your poor health." The Sun of the empire said and Princess Marina nodded.
"I found that my not going would be considered rude to the Duke that went through such lengths to get I and my friends the best teachers." Princess Marina said with a bow.
"They are the best of the best and have produced quite the gifted students like your older sister over here." The Sun of the Empire said, referring to Princess Zarya with a smile.
"I remember the classes being tough but I was always among the best." Princess Zarya said and the Sun of the Empire smiled at her with pride.
"My only regret was that we didn't know of Daeros's talent before Esmeralda was admitted to the academy." The Moon of the empire said in a mournful tone.
"But she went ahead to claim rank one in every physical and theoretical portion in the Academy." The Sun of the empire said with pride and Princess Esmeralda smiled cheekily.
"How did we get so blessed to have such wonderful children?" The Moon of the empire said with a sigh as she rested her head on her husband's shoulder.
"They got it from me obviously." The Sun of the empire said as he lifted his cup to his mouth and the Moon of the empire stared at him in disbelief before smiling a cunning smile.
Expecting to drink his cup of fruit juice in his hands in peace, the Sun of the empire was surprised to be smacked in the face by a slab of ice that was supposed to be his drink.
