OK, we are now in chapter 14 the birthday ball the birthday celebration the celebration of the 13th birthday of these two lovely twin twins, and the other kids too.

Tell us to begin this awesome chapter.

I know I said I do this right after that last chapter, but I waited a while instead of doing it right after as a rotation we are now finally rotated back to this chapter this is finally the birthday party for the twins and everyone else who has turned 13 or turning 13 and having one celebration on one day with everyone staring a birthday together also Scarlet special announcement as well so it's not just a birthday party but special announcement too.

Let us begin this chapter.

The villains will also have a part in this chapter 2, not exactly at the same time as the twins at their birthday party but their birthday Quasimoto's birthday will be mentioned in this chapter as his little mid-shift celebration too, and we'll probably start with him and his family first that means soul the musical will be starting with soul and Quasimoto first and then we'll jump into the protagonist.

and will start with the soul

It's been a while. My child is 13 and I'm as proud as I could be. I'll probably enroll my son into the guild quickly. Now that he's older I was gonna wait till he was 16 but I'm gonna start him young. I want him to be powerful, strong, and confident like I was when I first started using magic. He'll be a fire mage like me which makes me even more prouder if that's even impossible.

I'll give him the best I can since we have lost all the best. Well, our stupid stupid heroes. My enemies have the best right now but soon I will have them where they are. My son has slept with the little girl already somewhat he's gotten to have what it's like to have her Even though the person she's betrothed to helped protect her.

I'll take her just like Janice took Scarlett to live with me. I will do the same with Leanna. Maybe not this young I don't know yet but she's a beautiful flower right for picking for my son and he's already had his phone with her. I'm done one after my sister, even though I still love her Luther has her, and I cannot get my hands on her. I can't believe him I can't, but now I can make him miserable by getting my hands on his daughter. He thinks he can keep her safe forever.

I'm surprised she's not pregnant.

But I'll make sure she gets that way soon I wanna keep our family line going. I want her to be the one to give my son an air, but this is not gonna be an easy task.

I called for my son to come it was time for his party. I know he hates his birthday more than anything in the world.

This was the day he was disowned. I know that much the day he almost killed his own. Mother reminded him that as well that he almost sucked her dry of her aura that made him smile at least that he almost killed his mother, but then she disowned him because she wouldn't let him nurse. She disowned him. I told him because you were ugly.

Now he has other siblings from two different parents and then the Christian woman is pregnant, which is weird, but that's what's happened and now another baby will be lots of children in our family who are weird out past children, but I'm not gonna kill them like father did they'll be very useful to us they'll be useful very useful indeed it's always safety and numbers they say.

Also better for our warrior ship and she's a royal a princess a king I guess she's not yet but that's what she wants to be called when she's crowned royalty runs in our blood not just for me, but for the Christalis woman as well.

And now Scarlett is pregnant again I can't believe this well go ahead and have another baby sister. If it's a girl I will. I will leave Leanna alone and promise your next child to my son even though he wants Leanna I don't care about bound partners but I know how strong he is.

Your royal bloodline will be tainted soon sister one way or another I will taint your bloodline. I didn't think of that right now cause I got ready for this big party for my son and the other villains were ready to go to our Lord of Our Court, Oliver was also ready with his new lady Corina, Asher, and my wife and his wife Rita and my husband and our younger children it was it at this party. We didn't have the power that my enemies had to invite everyone in the land to this party, which was fine for a private family party like this. It's fine with us and our guild was forced to come as well, they were all forced to come to this party what else were they supposed to do even if they liked this or not?

They had to come forcing them to come was more fun than anything else. I loved it very much and my son loved it too. We entered our ballroom. It wasn't gonna be much of a ball really but that was the only place big enough that we had at the banquet hall it's gonna be more of a dinner which was fine. We're gonna have pork roast because the because. Because Mrs. Sinclair was coming Rita's mother was coming and there would be other food too, but not as good as much joy as our enemy's party is gonna be probably oh well I don't care. As long as I don't get to eat too many cheap things I thought.

We entered the banquet hall, all dressed and ready to go. We had a lovely dinner and a lovely cake. I guess as best we could have my son did like it somewhat and some presents too that I could afford to get him .

before dinner

And during dinner

Quasimoto

The dinner had begun. It wasn't gonna be as much joy as our enemy's party, but it was in our banquet hall and it was fine. My evil grandfather showed up, which was nice. It was named the time manipulator he was upset that I didn't get blood as a Timecrest and the watch could've been hijacked by me but he couldn't do anything about it because my step-grandmother who I heard about also fixed it so that wouldn't happen. It didn't bother me as much, but it was good to see that he was here. He came down from wherever he was hiding from his house, I guess I'll give you the power that I gave my son. He said to you now that you were older son you're 13. I might wait till you're 16. I don't know he said maybe I'll wait till you're 16 to give it to you.

And what is that I asked Thai magic the time manipulator said also I will return to you what you lost in your birth. I wasn't wanting you to be deformed. I was hoping to be. I was hoping you to be as beautiful as your half-siblings so our store to you what you have lost your good looks too. I'm not restored. That is your gift today at 13 then maybe you're little sister will like you.

And maybe you can be given a new name I smiled no one that I could get a new name. I hated this name. It reminded me of my mother, the mother who disowned me, not the mother who took care of me, not Rita, not the Christian woman who acted as a mother as well. They were like mothers to me too kind of, but my biological mother, my birth mother who disowned me getting with her daughter is payback to her too. If I can look pretty, then maybe Leanna would want me.

Restoring your looks will be more difficult. He said it'll be ridiculous. It would be really hard to restore what you're supposed to look like I think you're supposed to look like me and your father's soul here not so much like your mother. I was happy that I wasn't supposed to look like Scarlet at least your genetic code is closer to mine like Souls and Luther that made me sick she was supposed to have the same genetic code as Luther, but she will get time magic for me too, and Ezra my former best friend will not stop me from doing it. You will get the blood of the time-pressed even though you will not get a chance to have the watch. I mean it's possible. I had a beautiful daughter once not Helena even though she was, I heard him say, but Annalise she got a lot of horse features, except for my hair and pale skin. She got Porsche's eyes. So you can be a beautiful son or grandson he says.

A smile known that I could have my looks returned.

It'll be a birthday gift if I can't restore it this year I can do it when you're 16. It'll take me a while to come up with a spell.

But I will do it he says that is good. I heard my father say to me. I am glad of it. My son has looked ugly all his life. He's been this this form for a long time this figured and ugly if you can restore what he has lost at birth that would be nice.

Don't worry that'll happen, but it'll take some time for the spell to be ready he said.

I could at least give you time magic now, though he said and he granted me time magic I'll be on an even playing fail with Luther except for having fire magic instead of wind and earth and if I have to fight Liam, I'll be on even playing field because he can use wind earth and fire anti-magic probably too.

with the heroes

in the kingdom of Ravenswood

later that evening

in the ballroom of ion

Leanna

I stood between my brother and my love as we got ready to walk down the staircase into the ballroom for our ball all of us kids get to walk down together as a group, especially all of us who are turning the same age. My bound partner is the only exception to this because of him being my bound partner because he gets to walk down with me.

In the aura, because she's 13 as well and she's walking down with my brother most of our family was already seated even my parents so it was just us walking down all of us who are turning 13 or have turned 13 we're walking down the staircase together as a group this was a big formal event.

Anyone who, and everyone was here even the masters joined they came to the party too, and Ezra himself was also there down there probably waiting. He was our godfather after all, and he was the one who blessed us at our birth, even in the darkest place of this palace. He never blessed my half-brother, which was nice I guess cause he didn't like him.

But I wasn't thinking about my evil half-brother right now I squeezed my love's hand as we walked down the staircase a group walked in front of us and the other half walked behind us we walked down the staircase once we got down there a spread of food was waiting. I think we were going to eat first and then dance and then have a good time. This was gonna be a great 13th birthday party for me.

And for my family too, not just me but for my siblings and Uncle as well and friends too that we're celebrating their 13th birthdays with us even though they were guards kids, they were concluded into our party, which was nice normally that doesn't happen in a royal family, but in this case, it does Equal quality is what they call it. We let our servants do the same things as the royal family, which is not typical and most royal households. Servants usually don't share these things, but we didn't treat our servants as servants. We treat them as a family in our family.

So everyone just participated the whole came and participated in our beautiful 13th birthday mother told me that the same thing would happen for our 16th as well. We get to have two birthday balls one for our 13th and another for our 16th which made us happy, especially since we'll be turning Timecrest into our own if we can figure out to activate the watch.

Even Ora was walking with us because she was linked with my brother he was giving her eyes. I hope he falls for her should be a perfect queen or I will be a wonderful queen. I think I think they don't need to be bound like a C and I so they can just normally marry if they like Which they'll probably do. They'll produce the airs for the family tree as the tree grows AC and I will not have airs and we were OK with that.

But we might produce more Timecrest errors. At least the blood of the Timecrest might run through me to them, which would be fine too. I asked what I heard about how it worked for my great-grandmother Violet to save the family tree and the Timecrest lineage which we were all grateful for.

We are all grateful for that and I'm grateful that I'll be passing on the Timecrest lineage more than my older brother would be. He'd be passing on the kingship and I'll be passing on the time of the time pressed.

But I didn't wanna think about that right now as we walked down the staircase and into the ballroom the birthday children were here. I heard my parents call we all went and stood beside him beside Mom and Dad both of them held the birthday children they said they would open up this ball And then we would eat and have fun and then I had a special announcement. I heard my mother say.

I heard mother say

May I have this dance? I heard him my love as he took my hand and took me on the dance floor my princess, he said, kissing my hand I giggled. Yes, my brother did the same as he took the hand of Laora as well or I may have this dance, he asked, laughed brother looked so happy people were pairing off into couples to dance. The only couple that did not dance much was mother and father that was big because something was awful about mother. I didn't know much but she didn't dance much or eat much and father was fine seeing over her even more than usual.

Grandmother was also concerned. Are you OK Scarlett? I heard her ask I am fine Mom she said I feel OK. I'm just tired she said.

Are you sure she asked we will tell you when it's time I heard Father say Mom don't worry about Scarlet. This is Leanna and Liam's day along with the other children of course dear I heard her say this is a party for the children a party you didn't get to have for your 13th or a party that Scarlett got to have for Hearse.

Because we were on the road, but now we will have more and more we will celebrate more. Of course, we will celebrate more.

More parties will be celebrated. I promise. The children look happy though oh yes, they look extraordinarily happy mother was sad that she couldn't go and dance.

Liam

I took Ora's hand as we danced across the room we ate dinner and then we danced and then we had dessert a beautiful birthday cake in our honor since I was the oldest I got the blowout of the first candle, which is the number one candle, or whatever and my sister will blow out the number three indicating that we are now 13 years old we are no longer children, even though we're still children I have to take in my role of being in the air, seriously more than she has to take care of her role as well at the Timecrest and well and a master on the council.

I also told her that it's not true. She has to produce errors for Timecrest and airs for the council as I have errors for the kingdom we get to split our responsibilities here.

After we were done eating and dancing, it was cake time more our birthday, but the others got to celebrate with us, and the others who already had their birthdays had passed. I've already celebrated their birthdays. Ash has already celebrated his aura, has already celebrated hers, which was my new love standing next to me, my new future queen, I'll make that announcement when I'm 16 though I'm not gonna make that announcement now or I might make it when I'm 18. I'm not sure probably more likely at 16. We can just enjoy ourselves now.

Where the future of the kingdom, just like my family, my parents before me after we blew out the candles and had cake. It was present time we sat and opened our presents in front of the entire kingdom. Normally, this would be a private affair, only amongst family business. This was a big affair. We decided to do it here we opened package after package in front of everyone we had already been given our private gifts earlier my sister going on her first mission with her big gift this year for her birthday mine well mine was special being the oldest I had even more special gifts given to me and it wasn't my crowning to be the crown prince that won't be until I'm 16.

A new and better sword was it was given to me better and faster, and more equipped than the royal sword.

And my sister and I both and Ash all of this we're gonna be given fighting lessons with Riley that was her gift to us. She was gonna teach us all how to fight martial arts. She told us that she taught Luther when he was young and that was our turn .

It's all right for all of you she said.

After all of that, then it was time for the special announcement.

The special announcement

Scarlet

I'd like to get your attention I said getting everyone's attention. I am thankful that everyone came to my children's birthday party but it's an announcement too. I haven't been feeling the best lately. I said as I stood as best I could, but if you can tell, I'm expecting again there were lots of claps and congratulations. I thought I was having a boy or a girl. I don't know yet. I said I was not sure, but everyone was happy that I was having another baby an actual child without adopting the last one like I said were my twins which I'm happy about having but now I'm having another baby and I won't love my children any less yes I am pregnant and I'm going to have another baby. I said another royal baby into the royal family. I said.

My father was happy because he was here at the party too, and my adopted mother and father Helena and Julius, who were current or were the recent king and queen were happy as well more grandchildren they were excited my adopted siblings were also happy and my sister Riley, who is my doctor sibling in law as well, but also my actual sister-in-law ash was happy. Everyone was happy with the new baby. Everyone said the kingdom was rejoicing. The queen is finally having a new baby.

This will be cause for another celebration soon I'll have another. I will have a proper baby shower I said and I'll have a christening as well for this child so I hope that you all will be there not all of you if y'all can't come that's fine, but I wanted to give the announcement I said to the king and queen they said May, Long, May they rain and their children rain to our masters, they said and praise the first they said again we said praise the first.

Ezra was also happy as he came up to us, Miss Scarlet, your Majesty, he said as the first major of Valencia I congratulate you on your next child and your next pregnancy and child and birth be less painful. I will bless and happily bless your child when it's born, I smiled, knowing that the godfather of my children will be the godfather of my next children, and then he will give them a blessing. Portia was also happy to everyone was happy.

May our king and queen, be blessed Ezra said, and may our kingdom be blessed he said, our rightful rulers and our masters, he said to the masters to the Royal couple long lives to our Royal Majesty they said.

Send the party was wrapping up and people were leaving. Thank you for coming. I said to everyone the ball was over. I couldn't take much anyway being this fully pregnant as I was once it was over and everyone finished their last dancing eating and whatever they needed to do our children took their presence to their rooms and then we all went to bed. It was a long day Windsor, how the ball was all of it Luther promised that we would go on a trip to the beach to the coast in a few weeks or so we will take a vacation we need a vacation. I said I know he says we will not travel the world like we did because that'll take forever and years, but we will we will. We will go to the coast and that is what we will do.

We will take a trip and relax we talked to my parents about our new pet. We talked to Helena Julius about it. They would be glad to take over his temporary king and queen while we were gone we'll probably be gone a week a week on vacation, which would be nice. It'll be in a few months at least maybe a couple weeks we will go while I'm still able to until I'm fussed over once again to have kids so I might as well enjoy it.

Then my new mother and father and my father left to go to their homes and then Luther and I went to bed. We didn't have to put our kids to sleep because they could put themselves to sleep now we told him that we loved them and then we went off to bed while they went to bed. He told me he would make them grow like he said I giggled as we made love again and again all my own it's been a while. He said I smiled. I know it's been a while since we've done this darling and soon our wedding anniversary is coming. I smiled I know precious the magical day of our lives the day I married my Prince charming, my love, my time pressed.

Afterward, we fell asleep holding each other as we slept.

And waited till morning.

ending here

Ending this chapter, and the two-part chapter saga of the birthday saga for the time being don't worry, there'll be some more awesome story coming up at the trip to the beach. That'll be coming their trip to the coast that is coming up and other great stuff.

And I know I said that this will be the last book in the series, but I think the time in the Guild should be a separate book on its own, so the next book will be all about that, but we're not gonna jump into that yet we still have a few more chapters of this one left we're gonna try and make it to six not 16 chapters but 20 chapters. There are still things that need to be covered to happen at the trip to the coast and other things I'll see you in chapter 15 soon that's coming up next.

I'll see you in chapter 15

next chapter will be chapter 15

next chapter chapter 15,
