Chapter Two – The joy of Gloriam Sapiente & Bestia Similis

It was late in the year and Solomon was pacing about, "Father please calm down," Capitosus said to his father-in-law while trying to contain his excitement as well. It felt like just yesterday when Prudens gave them the news. There was going to be a new addition to the family, she and Capitosus were going to be parents and Solomon was going to be a grandfather.

The whole kingdom was a buzz with the news and as her due date drew near everyone waited in anticipation for their future ruler, for their young prince. The day had finally come, and Solomon appeared to be more anxious than the parents, he was going to be a grandfather! Containing his excitement was difficult, but he had to try to maintain his composure.

Soon a cry echoed through, "He has arrived Capitosus! Our young Koushiro is here!" Solomon shouted in excitement. "I know father, can we go through and see him?" he stated and then excitedly asked the doctor who had come from the delivery room. "Yes, you may your highnesses," the doctor replied, and the two members of the royal family raced to the delivery room. As they entered, there sat Prudens with a small red-haired baby in her embrace.

"My Grandson!" exclaimed Solomon, Prudence let out a gentle laugh and shook her head. Capitosus and Solomon went to either side of her to admire the red-haired baby in her arms, Solomon stroked his cheek as Capitosus kissed his wife's cheek "Here honey, you can hold him," she said giving the baby to Capitosus, who took the young Koushiro in his arms. Once Koushiro was out of Prudence's arms, Solomon embraced her and asked if she was feeling alright.

"Koushiro time to meet your grandfather," Capitosus said to his son and looked to Solomon, who quickly stood up. "Come here my grandson," he said as Capitosus placed Koushiro in his arms, the old man smiled down at the small child in his arms and started making faces at him. The baby boy giggled and reached up for his grandfather's face. "Were you like this with me father," Prudence asked with a small laugh; he smiled, "Just like this or this could actually be seen as me toned down my daughter," he said. "That is difficult to believe father," she replied and they all shared a laugh even young Koushiro giggled.

The kingdom broke into celebration for the addition to the royal family, for it was a glorious and joyous time. Congratulations as well as gifts were received from the other kingdoms and they were visited by Regem and Regina, who were expecting another child. Lupus had accompanied his parents and was currently making funny faces to make Koushiro giggle, he did tricks using his two forms earning smiles of approval from the baby boy. He had been sitting on the grass of the beautiful garden and playing with Koushiro while his mother and Prudence had been engaging in conversation on the ceramic benches.

His father was a bit further away with Solomon and Capitosus also engaging in their own conversation, "He has such control at this age, your son is a prodigy," Capitosus stated to Regem, "I agree," said Solomon. "Thank you, he truly is gifted. I thank the heavens for such giftings. However I am not proud or boasting about his abilities but rather the caring nature of my son. Our people love him and he them, I believe he shall be a fine ruler one day," Regem stated and looked over to his son. The three of them made their short journey to sit on the benches with Prudence and Regina.

"Mother," Lupus started, "Yes son?" Regina asked, "Well, I heard that when a mother has a daughter her beauty leaves her and goes to her daughter. Please don't let that happen," he pleaded. Regina coughed and started, "That is just an old wife's tale baby, it won't happen," she said, "That's good," he smiled. "Why don't you want your sister to inherit your mother beauty son," Regem asked his son, "Dad, do you see how beautiful mum is, now imagine a mini version of mum… How many boys will I have to chase away from her?" he replied. They all burst out laughing, "I understand son," Regem said in between fits of laughter.

Time passed, and they were approximately four months into the following year. It was the midst of autumn when a beautiful baby girl with hair as the autumn displays and eyes the colour of the brown trees that bore those autumn leaves was brought forth into their world. Regem and Regina had been joined by not only young Lupus Draco, who's green eyes shone with excitement and love for his baby sister, but by Solomon and his family including young Koushiro. The little girl was a beautiful, like a lovely porcelain doll which made Lupus weary but his love for her did not waver in the least.

"What is her name?" Solomon asked, "Aura Vulpes," answered Regina, who appeared to be telling her beautiful baby girl the name that had been picked out for her. Regem had a chance to hold his tiny Aura in his arms for a few moments and then handed her to her big brother, Lupus took his sister in his arms. She was so tiny and seemed so delicate, he had made a promise to himself in that moment to always protect his baby sister. Even though he had already decided this before he met her, those soft brown eyes and features just reassured his declaration.

"I believe it is time to celebrate our young princess's arrival," Regem stated, "You have been waiting for this for a while, haven't you?" Prudence asked. "You have no idea Pru," Regina replied with a chuckle. "That sounds familiar," Prudence stated and looked at her father who had been holding Koushiro and introducing him to Aura. "Whatever do you mean?" he said and they shared a laugh.

It had indeed been a joyous and glorious time and just as with Koushiro, the rulers of the Bestia Similis had also received various congratulations and gifts from other kingdoms as well as from their people. It was a beautiful end to their previous year and appeared to be a lovely beginning of a wonderful new year.
