05 A New Joy

- Two weeks later -

Crescentia Kingdom that was thrown into a turmoil finally subdued the rebels. The rebellion started, due to the various people or nobles who couldn't accept the fact that the crown had been handed over to Aurelian.

Using this chance, they decided to launch a full scale attack on the west wing of the palace where the young prince and princess resided. Their initial goal was have Aurelian surrender because of the hostages.

After surrendering they would kill him along with Valeria and take the chance to brainwash the young prince and become a puppet of society. Luckily he escaped and found Angelica was was recovering her health due to a battle in the past.

Due to her sudden awakening it caught many of those off guard and they made a big miscalculation in thinking she was still weak. It not that she wasn't weak but the power she displayed was about 3/10 of her power and only mostly recovered half of her original prowess. So basically she was messing around during the whole fight.

The dungeon prisoners were weeping without tears when they found out they were being play with.

Now let's get back to the study room where a heated fight was happening.

Aurelian looked at the woman in front of him and his son who was currently holding onto her neck in her embrace. For some reason after the battle his son, took a liking to Angelica and decided to follow her and listen to her stories of magic.

Every time at lunch or at dinner his new topic will be the things Angelica did and oh boy did he get tired after every story.

Heck! He even heard the stories of her teasing him and also throwing him into the lake by 'accident'. Those days were the worse.

Angelica looked at Aurelian and smirked with a provoking smile. She really loved how the cute little lad, was curious about her. Ahh! When she pinched his cheeks or when he pouted was all cute!!

So cute!!

Valeria rolled her eyes at their antics. A Elf King who was suppose to be doing paper work was currently glaring at Angelica like she was a nuisance.

She even felt her head hurt looking at the two of them. Seriously!! Every time they meet there always something to fight about. She was wondering whether or not to do something about it.

Angelica: "aww! Look how adorable you are!! Now tell me, who do you like the most!" As she held him into the air while spinning around in circles.

Keiran: "God-Mother!!" And laughed.

Aurelian and Valeria: "....." utterly speechless.

For some reason this scene reminded the both of them of how there were not only two children they have, but three.

"Cough! Cough!" Aurelian decided it was time to stop and seriously talk about the other things in his mind.

"Angelica, are you sure your recovered enough? I don't mean to stop you but don't overexert yourself since you just woken up. Maybe you should travel after a few more days."

After stabilizing the kingdom and capturing he rebels with the handy work of Angelica, problems have been reduced in such a short time greatly helped.

But then soon came the topic of her, going to travel the world and recover the rest of her powers and also test out her new creations.

"Don't worry about me. Since problems here are done, I should be heading back to the witch council for some work and then I'll officially start my journey." She smiles at him.

Even though the three of them meet after a long time, the meeting was cut short due to her sudden travel.

Valeria looked at her with a small smile, this girl never changed since back then. Always causing trouble while living a free life. It was something she admire about her.

Flicking her emerald green hair, she clapped her hands and soon a servant came out holding a lot of things. Even Aurelian looked surprised.

It was a mountain! A mini mountain of clothes!

Walking to Angelica and grabbing her hands she smiled, "This is the finest silk robes that I made, take them. I made them especially for you when you were sleeping." There also a lot of other things like jewelry and herbs.

Angelica smiled at her. Seriously! Even when she says that she's fine they would always spoil her with more! She felt her heart warm up even more, anymore she feel like she'll start crying!

Feeling bashful she accepted the clothes with a bright smile and placed them into a storage pouch. Valeria saw the small blush on her face and laughed. Her emerald eyes gleamed. It was pleasant to see this reaction after a long time.

Her laughter fill the room with happiness as she grabbed Angelica's hand, "If you ever need anything, please come and visit. I will always help no matter what problem you get in. It's the least I could do after you've helped with such a big problem." And sincerely said.

After she became Queen, she hardly spoke the carefree and happily to anyone. So whenever she was bored, Angelica would pop up and take her away to have some fun, with a little mischief involved!

It drove Aurelian crazy and the both of them end up with a lots of scolding! But that didn't stop them, until the day she was confirmed pregnant with their first child.

That day was something she'll never forget. It was such a beautiful day and she remembered the first time she ever saw Angelica cry and baffled by the news. Her reaction was even greater than Aurelian when he found out.

Even during her pregnancy months, Angelica would come and spend time with her asking many questions about her and the baby. One day something amazing happened and she'd always smile at the memory.

During her months of pregnancy, she felt a small kicks here and there. Angelica who had been visiting at the time, was shocked and almost freaked out by the news. But after feeling her belly, she smiled so brightly and loving told her, "Bless this one, as he will bring a new joy."

Valeria smiled at this and currently looking around, Angelica was right. They really have found a joy that brought a smile to everyone.
