Elenora was brought to a magnificent palace.
"Welcome to your kingdom, blood queen. I haven't introduced myself, I'm Mephisto Galliard, the prime minister of the blood kingdom"
"I have questions Mephisto"
"Go on my queen"
" How am I the blood queen, I mean I had parents and I wasn't adopted according to what they told me?"
Mephisto heaved a sigh and said
"That'll be an explanation. You see the BLOOD QUEEN is regarded as one of the strongest deities in this world. She has the power to manipulate blood magic and blood qi. The blood queen birth is like a reincarnation"
"Are you saying that the blood queen is like a title or attainable position"
"Something close to that"
According to Mephisto, people in the blood kingdom can perform more than one elementary magic unlike those in the outside that perform magic they were born with.
For the next 3 months Elenora learnt things that have to do with the blood kingdom. But something unusual was happening. Elenora was pregnant again.
"How is this possible?, I haven't met any man except Borrick"
"Then the only explanation is that you carried Irish Twins because it seems like you're due" Mephisto answered
"What's Irish Twins?" Elenora asked
"According to the humans, some abnormalities may happen, Irish Twins are set of twins born on same year but at different months. This may be due to the fact that one of the babies wasn't mature enough to see the daylight" Iris, Elenora's assistant told her.****
*****"""************
At Haitani realm, Borrick is seen with a baby, Tears flowed down his cheeks as he repeatedly called out Elenora's name.
"Why'd you have to go, Elle, I had wanted the two of us to raise our son"
Borrick looked at the wailing child in his arms. He then brought a spark of 🔥 close to child. The child stopped and smiled , stretching his hands as if he wanted more.
"You want this?" Borrick smiled at the baby.
Then a guard entered the room.
"Sir Borrick, the king has summoned you. He says you should be in your best attire three days from now." The guard said.
"Maybe an award day" Borrick thought
"Alright then, thanks for the info"
The guard took a bow and left the premises.
"I had wanted Elle to be with me as I receive whatever award that's being granted"
He then looked at the child.
"Kurona will accompany me" he said.
The day of the awards day was also the day of Elenora's delivery.
Borrick was promoted to a Grand Lieutenant in Roppongi due to his domination on one of the factions of Eden Zero, but only Borrick knew who and what destroyed the faction. Twas Elle's blood magic. As his plaque was given to him, the placed it on the hand of the child.

"My Queen pls stay strong, don't give up" the maids in the blood palace encouraged her. She was gonna through a rough time delivering the baby. Alas it came out.
The baby made no sound that he has arrived in the world. After it had been washed in water, the eyes of the lad was bloodshot.
"Scary, what kind of baby would have bloodshot eyes" one of the maids asked.
"Who else if not our blood prince" Mephisto answered from behind.
Another strange thing happened when his mother finally held him in her arms. His hair which was pitch black became white and his skin color became dark. Immediately after these changes, the baby began crying.
"Na-Nashiro" Elenora said.
"Pls I ask something of you" Elenora told Mephisto
"Which is"?
"I'm sure you digged about me and you knew where I lived. Give this child to my neighbor. Don't tell her it's from me"
"Alright my Queen"
"One more thing,"
"Which is?"
"They shouldn't know I'm his mother, if possible just drop him at his doorstep"
Everyone in the blood Palace knew the reason. The DARK Fortress. The blood kingdom's sworn enemies. That plan to overthrow the blood palace and acquire it's sacred power, The Blood Onyx. The power of the blood onyx resides in the males of the royal bloodline which makes her son's targets.
"Aren't you feeling sad?" Mephisto asked
"Yeah, but it can't be helped. At least he can livea normal life just like I did"
She did some incantations and placed her hands on Nashiro.
"Don't my queen, he needs the powers"
"No he doesn't They'll come for him Mephisto" she replied.
Immediately after the sealing, Nashiro's hair became pitch black.
After the sealing, an object appeared. Mephisto took the object and placed it in the royal chamber. After which he took the lad as instructed by his queen. He took the baby straight to the abode of Clarisse and Darna. On the garment of the child he wrote the name NASHIRO.
After writing the name, he transferred some magic, altering the seal
"You'll need them my prince"
He turned to leave, he then took a final glance at the child.
"Grow up and grow strong my prince"
After making the statement, Mephisto disappeared.
†****************
Darna was all alone in the house when she heard the cry of a child at her doorstep.
She looked left, and then to the right but caught a glimpse of no one. She carried the baby inside the house.
Hours Later
Clarisse returned and Darna presented the child to her.
"Oh my, where did you get the child from?" Inquisitive Clarisse asked.
Someone dropped it on our doorstep.
Clarisse looked at the lad with pity.
"He's a male"
As Clarify raised the child, she saw what was written on the garment.
"Nashiro, that's his name"
"Mummy, can we see him, I'm bored of not having a sibling" Darna asked.
"Of course sweetie, he's now part of our family".
And so Nashiro found solace in the hands of Darna and Clarisse.
