Elaris still had a smile on her face as she gazed at the screen, watching Seraphina holding her newborn son with the utmost care.
Her silver hair shimmered under the soft glow of Elven magic, and her emerald-green eyes twinkled with a mix of excitement and mischief.
"Seraphina," Elaris spoke, her tone both warm and teasing.
Seraphina raised an eyebrow, knowing that her best friend was about to say something dramatic.
"You do realize that after this, you'll have to share Adrian with me, right?"
Seraphina smirked, rocking Adrian gently. "Oh? And what makes you think that?"
Elaris's grin widened.
"Because, dear sister, the entire Elven race is going to go mad with joy once they hear the news."
Seraphina tilted her head. "News?"
Elaris leaned forward slightly, her voice dropping into something more serious.
"You might not realize it yet… but the Mark of the World Tree hasn't appeared on a male in ages."
Seraphina's eyes narrowed slightly as she listened.
Elaris continued, her tone a mix of excitement and reverence.
"This mark…" She took a slow breath. "It's not just a symbol, Seraphina. It signifies someone who is deeply connected to the life force of the world itself, the world tree the symbol of life itself. Among my people, a boy being born with this mark is—"
She paused for dramatic effect.
"—an omen of greatness."
Seraphina's expression didn't change, but inwardly, she felt a deep sense of pride and protectiveness swell in her heart.
She glanced down at Adrian, who was listening quietly, his golden-crimson eyes calm yet intelligent beyond his age.
'An omen of greatness, huh?' she mused silently thinking about the future.
Meanwhile, Adrian—who had been absorbing the conversation in silence—internally raised an eyebrow.
'So I'm going to be some kind of Elven prodigy now?'He muses to himself silently'
He wasn't particularly surprised. With his knowledge of the future and this body's insane potential, it was only natural that he'd stand out.
But being named an Elven Prince?
That was an unexpected surprise but certainly wasn't an unwelcome one.

The Elven Ceremony
Elaris folded her arms and gave Seraphina a knowing smile.
"The elders will definitely demand a ceremony to acknowledge Adrian as one of our own."
She chuckled.
"And trust me, Seraphina. They won't take no for an answer."
Seraphina simply sighed, though her expression remained warm.
"I suppose I should prepare for even more people trying to steal my son away."
Elaris laughed. "Oh, absolutely."
She leaned closer to the screen.
"But don't worry. I'll make sure they behave.", she says with a serious expression on her face.
Then, her expression turned gentle.
"My husband and I will come to meet you soon at Adrian's Birth Banquet. We can discuss everything then, including the Elven Ceremony."
Adrian internally sighed.
'More events, huh? Guess I won't be having a quiet childhood.'

Adorable Baby Princess
Just then, a small, excited noise came from the other side of the screen.
The young Elven princess, who had been watching Adrian the entire time, suddenly started waving her tiny hands.
Her emerald eyes sparkled with pure joy as she tried to grab his attention.
Adrian blinked.
'…She's so cute.'
Unable to help himself, he raised his tiny hand and waved back and smiles softly.
The moment he did—
The little princess let out the happiest giggle, her entire face lighting up like the morning sun.
Seraphina and Elaris both exchanged amused smiles at the innocent exchange.
"Well," Elaris smirked. "It seems my daughter has already found her favorite person."
Seraphina chuckled, her golden eyes twinkling with mirth.
"She's got good taste."
The princess, still giggling, suddenly let out a tiny "Aah!" and waved at the screen even more excitedly.
Elaris glanced at Adrian, then grinned.
"Adrian, my dear godson," she purred, her voice filled with teasing warmth. "Your godmother will be visiting very soon."
Adrian could only blink.
'Godmother huh ?', he thinks to himself surprised not knowing where this came from.
But before he could process it further, the call ended, the holographic screen fading into golden light.
And just like that, it was quiet again.

A Mother's Love
Seraphina let out a soft breath as she turned her attention back to Adrian.
For a moment, she simply gazed at him, her expression melting into something indescribably tender.
"…My little miracle," she whispered, gently stroking his soft cheek.
Adrian, despite his adult mind, couldn't help but feel warmth spread through his chest.
There was something about Seraphina's gaze—something so unwaveringly gentle and filled with love—that made him feel truly… safe.
Seraphina smiled, her golden eyes soft with affection.
"You must be tired after such a long day."
She lifted him carefully and cradled him closer to her chest.
Then—
She reached for her robe untying it to feed him.
Adrian's eyes slightly widened.
'Wait NOOO—'
Before he could think too much Seraphin gently pressed him again her breasts , and the moment the warm, sweet liquid touched his tongue—
He gave up.
'…Forget it. Might as well enjoy this , atleast this tastes good.'
Without further hesitation, he began drinking.
Seraphina chuckled softly, watching her son with endless love as she gently rocked him in her arms.
As the warmth of his mother's embrace surrounded him, Adrian felt his eyelids grow heavy.
His thoughts slowed. His mind relaxed.
And just like that—
He fell asleep, nestled safely in his mother's arms deciding silently to sort his thoughts out later.
