The miraculous morning

Through the harmonious sounds of the early morning, a few counts of running steps could be heard on the hallways of the Crystal Palace in the Solaire Empire, the Empire which is blessed with an unique royal family.

If there should be a place where miracles and weird beings are being held, then the Solaire Empire is the place. The royal blood is unique and for its' finesse, the other Kingdoms and nobles wished to end the line of succession but failed instantly.

"Your Highness, the morning rose tea is ready and so the young princess opened her eyes." spoke the maid with a calm tone, while bowing in front of the big wooden door. As her words allowed the Emperor to know of the young princess status, he came out of the room in an instant and smiled warmly.

"Thank you Moira, I will be on my way to her chambers. Please prepare my tea there, since I will enjoy my morning with my daughter." short time but fast enough, the maid already gave word to the others to prepare the table.

Walking down the corridors, his heart was beating in a way he only felt when the twin siblings were born. Such a joy and care he had around his soul, which made him stand out from all the crowd that had the crown around their heads. The Emperor was soft hearted, calm and always right to his people, making the Empire as safe and beautiful as it could be.

Arriving in front of the door, a door with a crown sign on it surrounded by stars and roses, he opened it gently with such a fear that maybe the fragile being could be asleep again. Entering the room, the ladies that were taking care of the baby stepped back and bowed.

"Have a blessed morning, Your Highness. We will take our leave, but do not hesitate on calling us if there is something you might need help with. The tea is ready and next to it are the hazelnut dessert you like to have with it."

He smiled and bowed his head as a thank you sign. "Thank you for all the hard work, please do take a rest for now. You may leave." and so the ladies took their belongings and left the room. With small steps, he walked towards the window and slid the curtains apart, for the sun to embrace the room. Opening the windows, the view from up there was stunning; you could see the garden full of diverse flowers and in the middle of it was a white pavilion with white nets around it. Taking a deep breath and charging himself with the positive energy that came from outside, he walked towards the crib where the fragile girl with rose hair and blue eyes, was swinging her arms up as high as she could.

"Amelia, my Amelia." he leans forward and touches her forehead with his lips, wrapping the small one in his arms. "Good morning ray of sun, thank you for blessing my morning. Now, how about we enjoy our morning by looking outside the window? Let's get you some fresh air, princess."

Whoever would sit in the garden, could see the smiles that were shown at the window and get to smile as well. It was contagious, the happiness and the good power around everyone since they were blessed with no one else, but Amelia.

Since she arrived, everyone had second thought that the Emperor had an affair with a women he never introduced to the high society, but in the same time they doubted it. The Empress death was long ago when she gave birth to the twins, but that didn't stop him from being a good Emperor to its' people. The whole land was surrounded by spells and enchants that only the Saints Clerics could do, putting a vail around it so no one could enter or leave, apart from the Magician Tower.

Whenever they looked at the new princess, they could see Elric, their Emperor and why? Because their eyes and hair, was the same and even the level of mana in their blood could exceed anything. The nobles made visits and asked for hearings only to deceive the reason that stands behind the appearance of the girl.

"You are indeed a unique make of the God, but most importantly is that you chose me to be your father and follow your steps. I sworn on my name to protect and shield you from all the dark corners and bad situations, and so will I do. Amelia, soon enough you will meet your siblings and from then on you won't be alone anymore. As you grow, put your trust in us and never allow yourself to go through pain alone, for we will be by your side in any moment."

Kissing her forehead gently, Elric caresses her face and keeps her warmly in his arms. He never thought that one day the moment to see the daughter he longed for, will come. "I promise to be the father you could be proud of and the man that will always be in your life with good intentions. I will watch your steps, listen to your words and stay with you until the end and even then, I will always remain in your heart."

And from that moment on, the life changing path and the story of Amelia, started.
