Sinful Addiction

"The purity of Alphine royalty and power of divine is what makes the baby prince undefeatable." Astrologer continued.

"Oh Wise one, if he is undefeatable, she won't be able to harm him right?" Mew asked.

"Young prince, I wish that was the case but it's not. The baby prince is vulnerable till he ages 24 years and thus he should be hidden somewhere away from Quelsia until then."

"After he turns 24, will he be undefeatable as you said?" Theo asked.

"My highness, according to the baby prince's horoscope, his death is marked in the months of the year he turns 24."

"Oh my baby!" Grace said as he clutched the sleeping baby close to her chest.

"But my Queen, if he will attain all his powers in full form when he turns 24 but only when he himself awakens his spirit. No one can force him to discover his powers. And then he should be trained to control and use it accordingly."

"We can teach him with the most outstanding scholars! He can be taught from 3 itself!" Gin said.

"But my King, it's not right to expose baby prince to his power or magic before 24. That will make him more vulnerable to Quelsia. He will only be able to fight her when he becomes atleast 1/9 of her age. And that is when he turns 24 and she will turn 216."

"But then you said that he could die at 24!" Grace asked without taking her eyes off the sleeping angel.

"Yes my Queen, that's because death is decided! One of the two will die, my highness. Either Quelsia or baby prince."

"No!" Grace screamed and Gina ran to her sister in law to calm her down with a hug.

"My highnesses, the baby prince is born to kill Quelsia and she will do anything to kill him in return for her life. If she kills baby prince, then she will want to drink his blood to gain all his power."

"My baby!" Grace cried.

"So what should we do now, Wise one?" Theo asked as he saw the other 3 were too shocked to speak a word.

"Send the baby prince far away from Quelsia's evil eyes until he attain the age of 24. Then the young princes should bring him back here. He should be taught about his powers but it can only happen after the baby prince awakens his spirit and yearns to know about it. The first 3 months will be peaceful for Quelsia will be hibernating in the bed of blood to cultivate her power. After those 3 months, the war will begin."

"Where should we hide our baby?" Gin asked as his eyes teared up.

"Away from here in the area of human civilisation. He should be brought up as a commoner."

"But he is the descendant of Drigaan!" Gina said.

"Lord Drigaan is not moved by luxury, he looks into the heart!"

"When should we?" Theo asked unsurely.

"As soon as possible, My king! As soon as possible!"

"I am not giving my baby away."

"My Queen, the more you hold onto him, the more he is in danger!"

"Where can we trust him to be?" Gin asked.

"An orphanage!"

"Wise one! How can we put the baby prince in an orphanage?"

"Please my highnesses, that is where is the best because my human sister has settled in the human civilisation with her human husband and family. She owns the orphanage. We should entrust him to her. She has lost all he dragon characteristics after consumating her marriage."

"Please help us then, Wise one!" Gin said.

"The nature is in joy of the birth of baby prince! The sky is a shade of lavender with a dark Purple moon and 2 light violet stars. The tress have grown purple fruits and leaves all a shade of divinity!"

The balcony was opened to welcome a seeping purple light if the moon. It fell exclusively upon the baby prince who suddenly woke and giggled.

The sky indeed held a purple moon and 2 stars as the Wise one had predicted.

"Kitten has the same birthmark!" Tharn said in glee.

The elders then looked at Gulf's chest to see the exact same mark which was forgotten in the heated discussion.

"We need to get him to the orphanage before more members see the baby prince." The Astrologer said.

"Let me feed him for the first and last time." Grace said with tears.

Theo, Gina, Mew and Tharn walked out of the room behind the Astrologer to give privacy to the new parents and baby.

"Mae, I don't want baby to go." Mew said.

"Mae, can we go with kitten?" Tharn asked.

Gina hugged her boys tight in extreme sorrow on seeing how attached the boys were to Gulf.

"You both are this sad. How sad must Grace be to seperate her only a day old son from her!" Gina said.

Theo hugged the 3 of them with a sigh.

"Baby Gulf, be strong na! Mae and Phor loves you!" Grace said as she handed over the baby prince to the Astrologer after both Mew and Tharn kissed him on both his cheeks.
