Black Clover Next Generation II ♣️💘

Family Tree of House Silva

Yes, the Silva were productive... I am biased, obviously^^'

Nymphea and Valentina are twins, with Nymphea being the older one by three minutes. She is more like Nozel personality wise, while Valentina took more after Vanessa. They still got from the other parent, though.

It is a coincidence that they have the same initials as their parents... Nymphea and Valentina were also born on Valentine's Day^^'

Lavinia is the second child of Nozel and Vanessa, also very shy. She doesn't want to be a Magic Knight, finding more happiness in music and songs.

Cassandra was a surprise child, three years after Lavinia, but loved nonetheless. She is the wildest out of her sisters, if there is harshness in the Silva genpool, she got all of it. Cassandra also calls Yami uncle Dumpy.

Diego, Odette, Nebel and Zinnia are quadruplets. Which was a surprised to everyone. Diego and Zinnia are true wild pranksters, mini-versions of their parents, while Odette and Nebel are more calm, almost a miracle given who Nebra and Zora are.

Mathilda came many years later, as a surprise child. Nebra thought that she was done after giving birth to four babies at once, but she was very relieved that it was only one this time. Mathildas birth was also pretty fast, roughly twenty minutes.

The quadruplets are very protective of their baby sister, but baby Mathilda is going to be more a problem child than Diego, Zinnia and her parents together^^'

Eis is the first born of Solid and Rosette. He almost gave his parents and the midwives a scare because he didn't cried immediately when he was born.

Nanthilde is his sister, born four years later. Since she learned how to read, she had a soft spot for riddles and mysteries.

Both Eis and Nanthilde are very kind, like their mother. As much as their father was a brat in his youth, as much they are well-behaved. Solid is actually relieved they don't come too much after him personality wise.

Loreleï is the only daughter of Asta and Noelle. She was born a few days after Eis, which made them best friends since they were babies. Like her cousin Lavinia, she also doesn't want to become a Magic Knight, despite having her mother's amount of magic power.

Her brothers are much younger than her. Airgid is as wild as Asta with Noelles pride, a bit of a brat, but with a heart of of gold.

Nemo is the youngest, wild like his brother but kinder.

Fun fact, both Noelle and Asta were awful at giving names, even for their own children. Nozessa, Zobra and Sosette had to help them on that topic... which wasn't an easy task, but funny.

Nymphea has long silver hair like her father's, wavy like her mother's and Vanessas amethyst purple eyes, she has Silver magic. Valentina has the same eyes as her twin, but long straight hair like her grandmother, in a paler shade of Vanessas rosewood color, her magic is Tapestry. Lavinia has her mother's hair color, but the silky and thick structure of her father's (she wears them in two braids), she also has Nozels metallic lilac eyes, she got Vanessas Thread magic. Cassandra has silver hair, but very wild, a bit of mix of her parents and lavender purple eyes, her magic is Swords... given her wildness, it can be a stress factor for Nozel, one only Vanessa can calm him from.

Diego has his father strong red hair and also his deep blue eyes, looking like a mini-Zora, he has Spark magic. Odette has her mother's silver hair color, very wavy almost curly and like Diego, the eyes of her father, her magic is Cloud. Nebel's hair got a color mixed from his parents, with Nebra's gene a bit stronger, a pale pink, long and straight, his eyes are also a mix of his parents, a strong purple and like his name suggests, he got his mother's Mist magic. Zinnia has also pink hair, but unlike Nebel, her's are a stronger pink and are Wilde like Nebras, she also got her mother's magenta eyes, add to all of this Smoke magic. Mathilda has her father's red hair, pretty wild as well, and her mother's magenta eyes (a heavy contrast) and she got Water magic.

Eis has his mother's straight white blonde hair, which he wears short, his father blue eyes and like his name suggests, his magic is Ice. Nanthilde has curly hair, silver like Solid and Rosettes pale grey eyes (which got her the nickname Most Silver Silva), she got her mother's glass magic.

All of Astelle's children have water-based affinities (personal headcanon that Astas condition is not hereditary). Loreleï has her mother's straight long silver hair (unlike Noelle, she has her hair down most of the time) and her father's bright green eyes, her magic is Snow. Airgid has Astas wild ash blonde hair but wears it shoulder length and Noelles magenta eyes, he has Water magic like his mother. Nemo has silver hair but the same hairstyle like his father and also his mother's magenta eyes, his magic is Mist.

Thematic OC Questions

Some friends and I have been asking random questions regarding OCs. That got me thinking. Lots of OC question lists that I’ve seen have been about the OCs as people (their life, interests, habits). I want to ask meta questions about them as fictional characters.

These questions focus on the motifs and symbolic associations of a character in a narrative sense. This is more character analysis than character interaction.

..........

What is the main color associated with them? What connections with that color do they share?

Drawing from the language of flowers, what flower would symbolize them?

What real life animal would they be represented by?

What mythical creature would they be represented by?

Which body part are they associated with? (Example: hands/arms symbolize strength.)

Which of the four seasons best fits them?

What time of day are they associated with?

Which of the seven heavenly virtues are they associated with? Do they embody that virtue or are they trying to learn it?

Which of the seven deadly sins are they associated with? Is it a negative trait of theirs or something they actively struggle with?

Are they closer to life or death?

Land, sea, or sky? Of the realms of the world, which one does the character belong to?

Are they the sun, moon, stars or something else in space (black hole, meteor shower, etc)?

Instead of your standard four elements, consider what kind of metal represents your character. (Look here for some ideas.)

Regardless of whether or not they wield any, what kind of weapon do you associate them with?

Pick an article of clothing to represent them. What does it mean?

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and anything between. What kind of dish are they?

What instrument would be used in their leitmotif (essentially their character song in this context)?

Which card would they be from the major arcana of tarot cards? (If you're more well read in tarot, you could also do minor arcana.)

Which of the four temperaments (sanguine, choleric, melancholic, or phlegmatic) are they?

What word/phrase is central to their character? (It can be something they say or something that summarizes them meta-textually.)

..........

This isn't a complete list of all possible thematic/symbolic questions that could be asked. Not all these questions could apply to a character. It doesn't matter if you associate certain things with one symbol and someone else has other ideas.

These are just some questions to get people thinking.

Psst.. .Hey Kris, have you ever tried to reach the summit of Mt. Silver?

“ I more ‘dan tried, pal — I succeeded!! ”     All at once her eyes were alight and her grin was so wide, it threatened to split her face in two.

“ Man, if only you’d been ‘dere. Okay, okay, picture ‘dis: it’s summa’, zinnias in full bloom. A breeze blows t’rough ‘da underbrush at ‘da mountain’s base, seldom-traversed footpaths ova’grown wit’ foliage and wildlife. A — a ponyta foal takes its foist steps ta drink from a stream. It’s fuckin’ idyllic.

          ENTA’ KRIS CLARITY!! ”

She took a moment to let the name ring out, before lavishly sweeping her arm in front of her.

“ ‘Dere she is, celestial, resplendent, a wayward comet touched down on terra firma!! Wreathed in — wreathed in fuckin’ flames, practically ascended ta godhood, ‘da cosmos ‘emselves bow ta her will, she lifts a finga’ and ‘da whole univoise shudda’s in anticipation — she’s Kris-fuckin’-Clarity, Mt. Silva’ neva’ stood a chance!!

But a’course, Mt. Silva’ ain’t what Kris Clarity was here for — a challenge, maybe, but absolutely nuttin’ in comparison ta ‘da legend waitin’ at ‘da top!! She fuckin’ — fuckin’ ascended like some sort’a deity, she didn’t even break a sweat!! Made it up in record time, and ‘den — ‘den!! — ‘DERE HE WAS. ‘Da Kantoan Wonda’child, Pallet’s Hero — RED — RED, standin’ at ‘da top like he’s been waiting for her ‘dere ‘da whole time, lookin’ — lookin’ so cool, lookin’ so fuckin’ cool, he’s like right outta one’a his tradin’ cards, wit’ ‘da hat and Pika on his shoulda’ and errythin’…!!

AND WIT’OUT A WORD, WE BATTLED. Fuck, s’pro’lly a good t’ing no one recorded it, anyone who watched it back would’a pro’lly had ‘deir heads explode ‘cuz’a how fuckin’ amazin’ it was, schmucks across ‘da whole world would’a been put in ‘da hospital!! And erry time I’d take out one’a his, he’d take out one’a mine, it was so — so fuckin’!! — Kris Clarity’d neva’ met an equal on ‘da battlefield befo’, and yet here she was, finally gettin’ matched blow-fer-blow!! Two unstoppable forces who was destined ta meet like ‘dat since day one — f’da battle went on much longa’, it might’a fractured space-time itself, split it clean in two, ended reality as we know it—!!

But soon we was down ta our last two — him and Pika, me and Rudy, blizzard roarin’ around us, he don’t say nuttin’ but Pika’s got ‘dat special connection wit’ Red, he goes in for a t’unda, it hits, I t’ink it’s all ova’, but ‘den — ‘den!! — t’rough ‘da storm I see Rudy, and he’s still standin’, he tanked it, HE TANKED IT, I KNOW I’S ONLY GOT A HALF-SECOND SO WE SHOOT OFF A FRENZY PLANT, ALL YA CAN HEAR IS ‘DA ROAR’A BATTLE, ‘DA SOUND’A CONTACT, A CRY, AND ‘DEN…!! ”

She held the dramatic pause for as long as she could muster — which wound up being about two-point-five seconds. She jumped, throwing her hands into the air and yelling.

          “ KRIS CLARITY WINS!! ”

She took a moment’s pause, tilting away from the conversation, cupping her hand around her mouth to make it seem like her next words echoed from a distance:     “ Yeah!! Woo!! Kris Clarity’s ‘da best!! Yer my hero Kris Clarity!! ”

And then she went on cheering, pumping her fists in the air, praising herself to the high heavens, even soliciting a high-five from the stranger who’d approached her.

This was going to take a while.

*The royal children of Clover having a crystal tournament, camp of the Silvas*

Nymphea: So, is there any way for us to protect the crystal at 100%? Valentina: Literally 100% or only possibly 100%? Nymphea: Literally. Eis: Damn, that is going to be difficult... Zinnia: We attack the Kiras and Vermillions directly all together, that is the only way! Cassandra: But that leaves our crystal unprotected, idiot! Zinnia: Who are you calling idiot? Nebel: No need to fight each other, the other royals are already enough for now. Lavinia: Well, it's just a game... The others won't really try to kill us, right? Nymphea: Well, we wouldn't need to be extra cautious if Diego wouldn't have insulted Yogan. Diego: I only called him a boring bloody bookworm who only reads, that's all. Loreleï: You forgot that he has Lava magic. Odette: And that he is scary especially with calm anger. Nanthilde: And that his mother is Mereoleona Vermillion. Valentina: And Airgid insulted auntie Mimosas children, somehow. Loreleï: Seriously, little brother? Can't you use your brain for once? Nemo: He can't, he has mom's temper with dad's stupidity. Not a good mix. Airgid: I just told Jacinto, Iris and Amaryllis that their mother is mostly a healer and not a warrior. Nymphea: Airgid, you are my cousin and I love you, but you should stop dismiss healers. Loreleï: Do you want mom and dad hear about it? You know how much they care four auntie Mimosa. Airgid: I'm not afraid... please don't tell them! Cassandra: Great, I thought we only needed to watch out for the Kiras, now the Vermillions are also a big threat. Great job. Eis: Okay, so what can we do to protect the crystal fully? Nymphea: We might need a special crystal protector. Nemo: Someone with big magic powers! Nebel: That is all of us, idiot, we are royalty. Nanthilde: Maybe someone crazy enough to not only defend, but to also attack? Lavinia: But who in their right mind would be crazy enough... Oh. Everyone: *turns towards Mathilda* Valentina: That would work. Loreleï: But she is the youngest of our generation. Eis: Yet she punched uncle Yami to sit on the floor when she was only a month old. And then there was the ball incident when she was one year old... Airgid: Let's not talk about that one! Diego: Beloved little sister, do you want the Silvas to win? Mathilda: Yep. Odette: Do you want to do something crazy? Mathilda: Always. Nebel: Do you want to attack and defend together? Mathilda: Ok. Zinnia: Do you want to let your Water Magic go wild? Mathilda: Is that even a question? Nymphea: It's settled, you will protect our crystal. And show no other mercy than life to our adversaries. Mathilda: HELL YEAH! Cassandra: Our parents might be shocked... But at least we will win. And they did.

Nymphea, Valentina, Lavinia and Cassandra are the daughters of Nozel and Vanessa. Diego, Odette, Nebel, Zinnia and Mathilda are the children of Zora and Nebra. Eis and Nanthilde are the children of Solid and Rosette. Loreleï, Airgid and Nemo are the children of Asta and Noelle.

Mother Day Special 💘

*For Mother's Day, Nebras children show her how good they took her lessons about handling jerk nobles* Diego: Lord Lügner, if you continue to bother our mother, I will kick you in the balls and put scratching powder on your ass. Odette: Don't you think that just because you were once vice-captain that you can do what you want, especially suggesting vaguely a divorce because our father is a peasant. Who beat you up, once. Yes, he told us that and yes, we are clever children, we know what divorce mean. Nebel: By the way, you WERE vice-captain, you aren't anymore. Doesn't speak for you, since it was never your own choice. Lord Kaiser wanted to make the Purple Orcas better and you as vice-captain was something he needed to undo to achieve that. And you aren't even a Magic Knight anymore. Zinnia: You are an asshole. Mom was very right about you. Oh, you don't like the insult? I know worse and I can tell you those while putting chili powder in your nose and said asshole. Mathilda: *two-year-old toddler angry noises, plus taking down her very stinky diapers to throw it a Lord Lügners face* Nebra: *crying tears of joy* My little sweet disasters, I am so proud. Zora: What the fuck is going on here? Nebra: Our children are talking down Xerx Lügner in my honor for Mother's Day. Not only the quadruplets, but also the savage baby. Zora: ... Damn, our kiddos are the best savages.

@f-oighear and @mamavino, you love Zobra a lot as well, so this is a bit for you too 💘

Next Gen Inccorect Quotes VII ♣️💘

*At a royal gathering* Nebel: Should we stop them? Odette: By ourselves or shall we get one of our aunts and uncles? Nebel: Have any of those options any chance of success? Odette: Not really. Maybe the second one might work if we get auntie Rosette, but I wouldn't count on even that to avoid the Disaster. Zora: And I told you that this is stupid! Nebra: I didn't forced to wear a suit for the occasion, you should be thanking me! Diego: *being held back by Nebra* It is not my fault you look like a dumpster cotton candy! Zinnia: *being held back by Zora* And it is not my fault that you look like a bleeding strawberry tart! Nebel: How do mum and dad manage to hold back Diego and Zinnia from fighting while having their own argument going on. Odette: Must be some kind of talent... Oh, Nebel, have you seen our baby sister? She was right there ten seconds ago. Nebel: *looks around and gets pale* MATHILDA, NO, THIS VASE IS NOT A TOILET! Zora, Nebra, Diego, Zinnia: *stopping their fights immediately in a panic* Someone mentioned Mathilda?

For the record, baby Mathilda is two years old here...

And this example (I still have more) is how I imagine the future Zora x Nebra family in a nutshell 😅 Disaster Parents and their five children. Quadruplets – Two always at each other's throats and loving it, two more calm but still disasters – and a crazy baby 😅

[vilandel]

Four Make Five

Summary After having quadruplets, Nebra and Zora agreed that four children at once was more than enough for them. But years later, number five is on the way...

A/N Yep, I gave Zobra quadruplets, plus another baby later on. Sorry Nebra, but you did great 💘 If there is one thing to know about Zobra family, is that there is a lot of disasters, but this is also how they are, right @f-oighear ❤️

Nebra knew her reflection in the mirror by heart. She saw herself grow in mirrors since she was old enough to remember. How many times did she stared within mirrors after her mother died, to try and discover any traits she might have gotten from Acier? How many times has observed herself, to see if she looked like a proper princess, be it for a ball, if she was looking good enough for a noble circle and if she was trying an outfit that might have been more or less Zoras taste somehow?

Zora… The peasant that became her husband due to circumstances. A pain in the fucking ass, but the only man in the world that matched her will to hunt, to talk and to never bend. Plus the best partner she could wish for when it came to talk down nobles and to put those assholes in their places.

And that peasant now royal was indirectly another reason for her countless observations at her reflection.

Nebra sighed deeply as she put her shirt up a bit, just enough to reveal her belly. And the pregnancy stripes.

This was a trait she definitely got from her mother and it was a bit of a consolation. Acier also got those weird looking stripes with each pregnancy. It must be a Silva thing, since Noelle got them too when she was pregnant with Loreleï, Airgid and Nemo. A little something she got in common with her little sister.

But of course, this wasn’t only a Silva typical mystery. Rosette wasn’t born Silva and she got pregnancy stripes too, be it with Eis or with Nanthilde. Well, it wasn’t a surprise, Solids wife was incredibly thin, it was bound to happen.

Vanessa was the only one had practically had more or less dream pregnancies and didn’t get any pregnancy stripes. Not with the twins, not with Lavinia and even not with surprise baby Cassandra. Nebra sometimes was about envious about Nozels wife, because she never had to think twice before she could wear a bikini. Okay, Rosette didn’t either, but she never felt any complex about those stripes anyway and this was a detail.

But there was a difference between Nebra and Acier, Noelle and Rosette. All of them got pregnant a few times and only one baby each. While Nebra only got pregnant once… and gave birth to four babies at once.

Nebra groaned as she remembered the admirative statement of the mid-wife. That she had a body perfectly build to give birth to more than one or two babies at once. Well, thank you very much, it was great to have a rare body for something that was terribly painful already for just one brat alone, so what about four?

They shouldn’t have been surprised. Twins run into the Silva family, the birth of Nozels and Vanessas twin daughters was just another reminder. But when twins run into a family, there was also a small chance that triplets or quadruplets or more could be born. Everyone knows that, but why expecting something that was already a rarity? Quadruplets even more than triplets!

And yet, it happened and Nebra was the lucky one to get that special four baby blessing. For once, she would have preferred to be normal than standing out.

It had been a pain to get four babies out and Nebra questioned her mother for having been ready to go through birth hell four times. But well, at the same time, Acier got for babies one after the other, not at the same time.

Plus having quadruplets somehow made Nebras pregnancy stripes a bit more prominent than Noelles, Rosettes or Aciers. At least, it was what Nebra was feeling.

In any case, she and Zora had decided that four children were enough. At least the pain was worth it. Diego, Odette, Nebel and Zinnia were a handful, but neither Zora nor Nebra would have exchanged them in any way. Those were THEIR children, enough reason to adore them. 

And Nebra also wasn’t sure that she would be able to have more, given the difficult birth she went through.

But that was proven wrong by her most recent discovery.

Nebra was grateful that Noelle, Rosette and Vanessa supported her, especially when she got the confirmation. But she had needed some time alone and of course, she called for Zora to come. It concerned him as well.

All Nebra hoped now that she would get rid of her current shock, it was a pain in the ass. And she needed a clear mind facing Zora with those news.

“What a way to order me to come like that, Little Miss Royal. I’m your husband, not your butler, the stupid wedding bad should be a reminder that shit.”

And of course her husband peasant turned royal just couldn’t wait until she calmed down a bit to appear. Granted, she had asked him to come quickly, but this was a detail. He could have made her wait to piss her off, like he adored to do.

“You could have knocked, you know.”

“Nah, we’re married, courtesy has no place in it.”

“Nozel, Asta and even Solid are doing this with their wives!”

“Your braided bro is a sickening gentleman and got lucky Vanessa swoons for that. Asta can’t make the difference, he is just that kind and Noelle still got headaches because he is still often an idiot. As for your other bro, he got married to one of the only good nobles out there, so he better be polite with Ro.”

Well, since Rosette was loved by everyone in their family, Nebra couldn’t argue with the last part. But she wouldn’t tell Zora that and besides, he might know it already.

“So, what is so important that I have to go see you instead of pranking Magna and Luck after coming back from a mission? Okay, cap was in a foul mood because apparently one of us disturbed him while he was with captain Charlotte in bed, so there is a good reason why I didn’t hesitate to rush here. So, what’s going on? Is one of the kiddos sick?”

“No.”

“Have they done something to some ancient Silva family object that was in the fucking family for centuries?”

“No. Okay, Diego and Zinnia used an ancient shield from seven centuries ago to skate down the stairs, but this belonged to our jerk of a father, so it doesn’t matter.”

“Did they insult a powerful noble who is now shitting on the Silvas?”

“I wish, nobles are getting bolder lately, they deserve a good talk down again. But no, it’s not that either.”

“Please don’t tell me you only summoned me here like a dog because you’re hungry or somethin’.”

“Now that you mention it, I wouldn’t mind this Hino dish made with raw fish.”

“Geez, don’t you hate that one? The only time when you were willingly craved for that was when… when… you were expecting the kiddos.”

The slow realization was plain on Zoras face as he sat down on the bed. And only then Nebra realized that she spilled the beans. Granted, she hadn’t thought at all about how to tell him that she was pregnant, but this would do it. It wasn’t very royal, for sure. But Nebra was pregnant right now, she had the best excuse to currently not have the patience to act like a proper royal.

Nebra sighed and joined Zora on the bed. He was processing and despite his many flaws, she couldn’t blame him for that. They hadn’t talked about having other children. Why even, they got for at once the first time, it was more than enough! And now…

“How long?”

“Huh?”

“How long do you know?”

“Just today. And before you ask, I went to see Owen already, so he knows. Noelle, Rosette and Vanessa know as well, they were with me. In fact, it was Vanessa and Rosette who had the first suspicions.”

Zora remained calm, visibly still under shock. Nebra let him be, but she couldn’t help but start feeling kinda anxious. Why? She didn’t know and she hated it.

Slowly, she took Zoras hand in hers. He didn’t back away. A small relief.

“Well, that’s something.”

“You can say that, peasant.”

“Hey, I’m technically not a peasant anymore since I’m married to your royal ass! Plus, I’m the fucking dad of your kiddos, remember?”

“Peasant turned royal.”

“Yeah, and I still have no idea how this happened. But back on the brat topic…”

Nebra waited for him to continue. And Zora probably waited for her to continue, as silence settled again between them.

Nebra hated that. She had to say something, since her oaf of a husband has apparently decided to remain in shock. Silence won’t bring them anything right now!

“Do you think you can be happy about it?”

And they both spoke up.

Zora and Nebra just stared at each other. Irritated, which was already better than shock.

Nebra sighed again – how many times has she sighed today? She probably made a new record – and put her free hand on her belly. “I didn’t have time to think about that. To focused on the shock. But I’m not against it. It just… wasn’t planned.”

“Yeah. I can get that. But if your braided bro can be happy about their own surprise brat, maybe we can too?”

“We’re not Nozel and Vanessa, not to mention that they had only three children when Cassandra was born. We… have four already.”

“What’s the difference between three and four?”

“A big one in my books.”

Nebra sighed again, adding to her new record in the making. “I’m not against this new child, that is certain. It was a pain to put those four disasters out of my womb, but if there is something we can agree on, is that it was worth it.”

“While you were expecting the four brats, you often woke me up in the middle of the night because you had a pregnancy mood starve for something specific that you can only get at one specific point in the whole kingdom and I have to fly hours there and back to get it, while most often the starving mood was over once I got back. You had crying attacks for hours even at the Black Bulls base that had shocked my squadmates so much that they got a panic attack, even the captain that he dared to interrupt his toilet breaks and one time Charmy had even thought that she made horrible food for you to cry that much. Not to mention that you nonstop insulted me while you were giving birth, shocking the mid-wife and the servants with your cursing words. But yeah, it was worth it.”

“Rude, how dare you remind me of those awful moments?”

Zora just snickered and Nebra grinned in return. But her eyes went back to her belly. It was still flat, but it won’t stay that way. She remembered how it was when she was expecting her quadruplets. Her belly had been enormous, not even Vanessa had been that fat when she had been pregnant with Nymphea and Valentina.

“I hope this time it will only be one.”

“Fuck, peasant, I hope this too. I’m not even ready for having four babies at once again! Imagine, eight children with only two pregnancy, how fucking crazy is that? No, please just one or two at worst, but not more!”

“What not more, mum?”

Nebra and Zora flinched and turned around, only to see their four children at the door frame, looking at their parents with big eyes. Diego and Zinnia had a smug on their faces, while Odette and Nebel observed them as if they try to decide if it they should be shocked, roll their eyes or laugh.

Another sigh escaped Nebras lips. A happy one. Yes, she loved her four children no matter what. Even though the six of them definitely weren’t a typical harmonious family, even by commoners standards.

“Come here, you little disasters. Your father and I have something to tell you.”

Nebra quickly exchanged a glance with Zora. Of course they had to tell their quadruplets that they will have a sibling in a few months. They just hadn’t thought about it yet. Well, duh, that new pregnancy got them by surprise, they had a good excuse!

The quadruplets climbed onto the bed and sat in front of their parents, waiting with various degrees of curiosity. Nebra smiled with affection as she glanced at her seven-year old children. Born at the same time, yet different.

Diego, looking like a mini-Zora without the mask, but with the blue eyes and the red hair, with a weakness for pranks and talking down on nobles.

Odette, who promised to become a true beauty with those silver silky curls and the blue eyes, a kind princess but with a mystery touch as spooky stories were already her favourite kind of literature.

Nebel, the one who got Nebras mist magic, looking so sweet with his pale pink hair and the purple eyes, mix of his parents, a true gentleman who loved poetry and violins, while still looking down on many nobles and the one quadruplet who was the best with the infamous Silva glare.

Zinnia, who was mini-Nebra except for the pink hair, a stronger shade than Nebels, big on pranks and who was already a master at kicking or punching.

How will the unborn baby end up like?

“Okay, you brats, in a few months you all will be older brothers and older sisters, congratulations.”

Leave it to Zora to not beat around the bush. But Nebra would give him that, it was better than to prepare their brats mentally for half an hour or something. That would have been a waste of time anyway.

She carefully observed the quadruplets. There was no motion for a few seconds. Then…

“Nice joke, try again.”

Diego and Zinnia.

“Really? That’s so cool!”

Odette and Nebel.

While Odette and Nebel immediately crawled to Nebra and touched her belly – the quadruplets never believed the tale with the stork in any way – Diego and Zinnia were still waiting for their parents to tell it was just a joke. Which didn’t happened.

Nebra and Zora just stared back at them with a smug grin and the two slowly realized that it wasn’t a dumb joke. The slow surprise on Diegos and Zinnias faces was just perfect as they gradually understood what it implied.

“Wait! Does that mean that we will have a sibling that is years younger than us and not born the same day?”

“Like it is with all of our cousins?”

“Seriously you brats, is this what you get out of the news?”

“Shut up, dad!”

“Little Miss Royal, your kiddos are not acting very royal.”

“They are also your brats, peasant, so you are to blame for that.”

Zora showed her the middle-finger, to which Nebra answered by pulling her tongue at him. Nozel and Noelle always got in despair each time they acted like that around their own children.

Besides, the quadruplets weren’t even focusing on those impolite gestures, as all four of them were concentrating on Nebras belly, wondering and commenting about the baby, if it will be a brother or a sister, what name it will get and who will be the “mentor” of said sibling.

For the first time since she got the news, a genuine and big smile appeared on Nebras lips. Actually, despite the pain in the ass it will be, despite the pregnancy stripes, she was happy to have a baby again.

But please only one this time!

♣♣♣

Months later, 24th November of the same year…

“Woah, she is so tiny!”

“Zinnia, you were that tiny too when you and your siblings were born.”

“Really, dad? Hard to believe, I’m a big girl now!”

Zora hold himself back to reply that she was now only eight years old, which wasn’t making her a big girl yet. But okay, compared to her newborn little sister…

He looked at the tiny baby in his arms. Thankfully, Mathilda wasn’t crying anymore, but she still looked kinda crazy around her. For some reason, Zora had the feeling that this little one will be a bigger pain in the ass than the quadruplets ever were.

Thank goodness, it was only one baby this time. Another bunch of quadruplets would have been too much and too weird. And thank goodness that the birth wasn’t long, which meant that Nebra didn’t have time to curse him.

Mathilda Silva, born in roughly twenty minutes. A record within royalty, Zora had no reason to not believe it.

Zora looked at the quadruplets, who didn’t get tired to look at their new baby sister. Heck Diego even started to make faces at Mathilda, only to get weird glares from the baby and elbow punches by Odette.

“So, can I have a glance at the baby I gave birth too or do you five want to keep her away forever?”

“You got her in your womb for nine months, Little Miss Royal, so don’t complain that we get priority to look at her.”

Still, Zora handed Mathilda at Nebra who cradled the baby. The genuine affection in her eyes was truly something. Zora knew that his wife was a bitch in many ways. But she was his bitch and there was a heart behind this fucking pride. And her love for their children couldn’t be truer, despite all crap.

“Red hair and magenta eyes… That is a strong eye-catcher for sure,” Nebra commented while poking Mathildas nose softly.

“What did you expect? This is us, of course it’s going to be some kind of wild mix one way or another. Look at the other brats.”

Said brats now climbed on the bed to continue their closer look at their new sister, Odette and Nebel holding Diego and Zinnia back to climb on Nebra.

Nebra just smiled at him, a rare genuine smile that Zora couldn’t help but give back. Yeah, their family was disastrous and the last brat wasn’t planned at all after the quadruplets. But this was their family still and they refused to have it any other way.
