Royal Children

 "Leader, this is Oak of the forest reporting; the Queen has successfully stopped the rebellion and had start looking for the seventh royal child accompanied by his sixth royal consort. I also have already sent Berry assist them." A green haired man announce to his superior leaning on the balcony whose gaze is somewhere.

"Hmmm…"

Oak, look at the handsome man, his silver hair is dancing on the night breeze and Oak can see the worry on his silver eyes hidden behind that expressionless face of his.

Oak coughed.

"Leader, do you think we need to send back up?"

Moonlight arched his brow and turned his head to face the green-haired man in front of him. He is dressed in black, but if you look closely, you can see that he has scars underneath his neck tattoos. Despite his best efforts to hide them by avoiding eye contact, Moonlight could see that he is worried about the seventh royal child on his golden, reptilian eyes behind his white crow mask. He was sold in the pet store, much like the seventh royal kid, and this incident must have revealed his hidden scars.

In fact, he is also not ease, based on the report he had from Berry and Rogue earlier the enemy that kidnap the seventh Royal child is not simple. The Queen must also have exhausted her mana but they don't have enough man power to support her.

The White Crow is not a large in fact they only have eight members, Lily who is in the Palace; Berry is with the Queen; Him and Oak are in the secret hide out protecting the children; He had ordered Rogue to monitor the capital for the traces of that person who use that unknown magic or if they are others while the remaining three are infiltrating the nobles, the church and the commoners that evacuated in order to check if there are any other potential threats during this rebellion.

Moonlight took a deep breath.

'I hope she is okay.'

"AHHHHH!!!!!"

A piercing cry suddenly broke the quiet night, Moonlight and Oak looked at each other and immediately run towards the source.

They arrive infront of a large wooden door where they heard different voices screaming and without further ado they kick immediately the door and a chaotic room was revealed in front of their eyes.

"H-help me Sunshine!" A young girl with golden hair and red eyes pleaded towards the maid Sunshine who is turmoil as she wipes the beads of sweat on the child, the little girl was the third Royal Child, Zarina Louie Marie Li Salvatore.

"It hurts, Sunshine!!!" Another girl with short black hair next to her screams as she wiggles on bed clutching her stomach. Sunshine was at a loss as to how to help Natasya Viviana Marie Salvatore, the fifth Royal Child, who was crying uncontrollably.

"M-mother! H-help me!" On the next bed a red-haired boy cried while throwing up on his bed. Klaus Neir Van Salvatore, the sixth Royal Child, is gripping the maid who is cleaning his sweaty face while he keeps calling for his mother.

"M-merida…" A boy with blond hair, who is suffering, reaches out to the maid beside him. He is the second Royal Child, Lukas Van Maverick Salvatore

Merida, the maid, takes hold of the boy's feeble hands and anxiously brushes his damp hair away.

"Waaaaahhhh!!!!" On the other side of the room two toddler, one with black hair and other dark blue hair as well as the newly born child at the same time wail loudly as the maids comfort them.

They were eight Royal Child, Xenon Shane Von Salvatore; the ninth Royal Child; Lumina Ulysses Marie Salvatore and lastly the tenth Royal Child, Crimson Andrei Li Salvatore.

"Ngggghh…" In the corner of the room, a girl with white hair moaned in pain as she dealt with the waves of pain she was feeling. It was Rosaline Layla Marie Salvatore, the first Royal Child.

"AHHHH!!!Something is in my stomach!" A little boy with violet hair yelled in agony and took off his clothes right away. Hugo Klein El Salvatore, the fourth Royal Child, was unable to contain his screams as he tried to bear the agony of the beast attempting to burst out in his stomach.

Moonlight and Oak immediately run towards the boy to calm him down but everyone was stunned on what they saw.

A worm-like creature that's around twelve centimeter long and one inched wide with scales is wriggling on his stomach.

"Immediately, remove their clothes!" Merida, flustered issued.

As the head maid of the Palace, everyone followed her command and opened the clothes of the children and they couldn't help but gasped in horror when they saw the same thing squirming inside the children's stomachs.

"What is that?" Oak confusedly asked as he looks at the disgusting creatures.

Moonlight frowned this is the first time he saw this type creature despite he already memorize every information of beast and animals living in this continent.

"Oak call Rogue here." 

With a nod, Oak pulled out a violet whistle from his [Spatial Ring] and blew. The whistle is a magical object that sends a signal to the person who is inscribed on it, in this case Rogue.

"Call the Imperial Doctor." Moonlight heard Merida yelled.

Moonlight look at the young head maid, her violet hair is a mess and her cat-eye violet eyes are painted with worry and exhaustion. Moonlight let out a sigh and walked towards her.

Merida notices his presence however she evaded him as she walked towards the newly born prince and takes a look on his status.

Oak that sees everything just let out deep sighed as he watch the two and shook his head as he followed Merida to check the child leaving his superior standing in the middle of the chaotic room.

Like the rest of the child, the newly born prince had also that creature in his stomach but its smaller estimated around five centimeters long and very thin; they also checked the eight and the ninth royal children and same as the tenth royal child theirs are also smaller and thinner compared to their older siblings.

"Head Maid! The bodies of the royal children are in danger, we must need to remove this creature immediately or they will die from heart attack." The Imperial Doctor, Gaspar announced in panic as he held the pulse of the Third royal child whose heart is beating erratically.

"What?! Do you have any idea to remove them?" Merida asked in panic and worry.

"Forgive me Head maid, I have no idea what is that creature so I cannot act rashly because it may brought danger to the children." Gaspar answered in distress.

Even though the queen detested and neglected these children to the extent of nearly killing them, he still doesn't want to risk his life, especially now that she has changed her mind and decided to protect them. The Leader of the White Crow is also present, and the queen has personally ordered him to protect them; if he kills one of them by accident, the leader will kill him right away.

When the Imperial Doctor declared that there was nothing he could do to save the children, Merida, on the other hand, couldn't help but drop to her knees. However, Moonlight grabbed her arms and pulled her to his embrace before her knees struck the ground.

"Everything is going to be okay." He whispered at her, soothingly.

 Merida turn her gaze towards the man holding her and glare at him but for a few seconds she look at that silver eyes full of assurance and she couldn't stop the tears escaping her eyes.

"Shh… Don't cry, we will find a solution." Moonlight patted her back and she felt him kissing her hair.

Merida is aware that now is not the appropriate moment, but she is worn out from fleeing the palace, worrying about her family, speculating about when the will the rebellion end, and finally figuring out how to get rid of those repulsive creatures from the royal children's bodies..

The two of them are ignored by the people in the room and continue to check the royal children.

No one has the guts to tell the Spartan Head Maid and the Leader of White Crow to cease their romantic moments, and they are their superiors, so if they reprimand them, they will undoubtedly lose their jobs tomorrow.

Not even a minute, someone broke the sweet atmosphere between them when the air suddenly went strange like its being rip by something and for few minutes a teleportation circle appeared in the middle of the room.

Out of the portal came a violet-haired girl wearing a black gown, clutching a silver scepter with a white crown pattern, and her eyes shielded by a black cloak.

"Rogue!" Oak exclaimed as he walks towards the girl.

"Rogue painted with blood is reporting, what may leader need Rogue for?" A sweet melodic voice asked.

Moonlight coughed and faced his subordinates still not letting go on his lover.

"Rogue can you check those things on the royal children stomach and find out there origins." Moonlight ordered.

Rogue nodded and Oak, Moonlight and Merida followed her as she headed towards the First royal child's bed.

Merida couldn't help but cried when she saw the young prince, writhing in pain despite the pain.

Rogue lifted her hands, and three circles of violet magic appeared over the young prince's torso. With the entire area illuminated by magic circles, she whispered a spell.

Moonlight notices the change on his subordinate expression, she frowned and suddenly went paled and that reaction made him grimace. He looks at Oak and he nodded in understanding. She must have found our something bad for her to have those reactions.

Rogue immediately remove her magic and looked at her superior in a hurry.

"Leader, those creatures inside the royal children stomach are [Demon Worms] we must remove them immediately!" Rogue said in hurry ignoring everyone reaction from what she said.

"W-what did you say?" Oak stammered as he looked at Rogue in disbelief.

"I said those creatures inside the royal children stomach are [Demon Worms] we must remove them immediately." Rogue repeated innocently.

"D-Demon?!" Sunshine cried in horror.

"How did the Demons get into the capital?" Merida shouted in frustration and disbelief.

Moonlight grimace, he want to say something but stop when he a signal suddenly transmitted to him.

Oak and Rogue received the same signal and the three of the looked at each other.

Every White Crow member has representative colors for every whistle which is a magic device and the most important color is the Golden one, which is a distress signal that the Queen safety is in danger and this will be transmitted on every member of the White Crow.

"Leader!" Both Oak and Rogue called out as they move towards him waiting for this orders.

"Rogue, open the portal to Berry's coordinates. Oak call Lily and both of you protect the children."

"Understood."

Rogue went out of the room and casted the teleportation spell while Oak blows on a pink whistle.

"Merida, the queen is in danger so I need to go; I will leave two of my subordinates here to protect you but don't forget to be vigilant." He whispered to the Merida.

 Merida's eyes widened at learning the Queen was in danger, and she begged him to stay, but Moonlight sadly shook his head and wiped away her tears. As much as she would like to have her beloved all to herself, she is powerless to do so because he has sworn to the goddess of Nyx that he will defend the queen at all costs.

Merida reluctantly let go of her lover and turn her back against him. Moonlight just gazed at his lover's entire being before he sighed deeply and made his way determinedly to the door.

Oak couldn't help but roll his eyes at this dramatic couple who act as though they won't see one other again for a very long time.

 "Rogue is everything ready?" Moonlight asked the girl standing in front of the purple teleportation circle and Rogue nod as answer.

"Let's go."

The two of them enter the portal and when they arrive at the destination Moonlight can help but frowned as he watch his red hair subordinate fighting three skeleton at the same time.

Berry notices their presence and his gloomy face turns in to joy.

"Leader, help me!" he cried.
