Supreme Ruler: Reincarnated as the Emperor's Bastard Son
Chapter 10 Naming Ceremony

It has been more than 150 days since Ashoka's birth or rather his reincarnation.

He still hasn't seen his father, nor did the Emperor visit to see his children.

The excuse being the Emperor was currently busy dealing with the revolt in the Taxila province.

Although his mother and grandparents tried not to show it, Ashoka understood one thing, their father, the Emperor didn't even care about them.

It was maybe obvious seeing how Chandra wasn't even the official consort of the Emperor, but considering the position of Sage Vyasa as one of the Seven Sages and the master of the 7th magic tower, it was a huge disrespect.

Anyway, it wasn't like Ashoka cared for things like that.

All he wanted was to stay back and enjoy his life, and it would actually be better if the Emperor didn't pay attention to him.

Leaving that matter aside, since the Emperor was 'too busy' to name his children, Sage Vyasa took it upon himself as their grandfather to name them.

A grand ceremony was held in the 7th magic tower itself for the Twin's naming.

Sage Vyasa had already decided on the names to name both children.

As such there was no delay and the ceremony began.

Sage Vyasa held both the babies in either of his hands and prayed.

"O almighty gods who look upon the world, Guide these children with your light. Fill their life with joy and love and make their future bright. Comfort them and nurture them, protect them day and night."

To Ashoka it seemed like some kind of tradition, so he intently looked at Sage Vyasa who was praying with his eyes closed.

"Please give these children all that is required for a good way of life and for a good way of living. Please let these children bring joy and pride to me and my family. I will give all that is needed to these children. And help me to do my best to guard and protect these children for their lifetime."

His prayer ended and everyone bowed to the statue of gods.

It was a statue that contained the image of three beings.

One was a man with long hair, tied spiral above his head, with a snake around his neck.

The other was a beautiful lady with a gentle expression and a divine charism.

Seated on their lap was a young child with an elephant face.

Ashoka didn't know the name of the gods, weirdly enough no one took the name of gods when praying and it wasn't like Ashoka could ask them since he couldn't talk, so he just went on with it.

Shortly after, the naming started.

The ritual was kinda bizarre.

Sage Vyasa brought blondie's ear close to his mouth and whispered a name three times in his ear.

"Sudhatta Maurya"

"Sudhatta Maurya"

"Sudhatta Maurya"

Next was Ashoka's turn.

It was exactly the same as with blondie, Sage Vyasa bought his ears close to his mouth and whispered again.

"Ashoka Maurya"

"Ashoka Maurya"

"Ashoka Maurya"

Everyone clapped together after they heard the third whisper and the naming ceremony was completed.

The Elder blondie was named, Sudhatta Maurya.

and the younger little pumpkin was named Ashoka Maurya.

Ashoka was a little surprised to be named the same in this life too, but it made him a little relieved since now he could avoid the confusion of having two names.

And as for as their last names were concerned, even though their mother didn't inherit the name of Mauryas, as the children of the Emperor, they inherited his name.

Soon after, Ashoka and Sudhatta were swarmed by the guest who came to congratulate them.

Ashoka was rather annoyed, especially of those who squeezed his cheek, other than that he enjoyed the kisses of young women and ladies.

Blondie as usual was crying at the top of his lungs without any sign of stopping.

Many guests came to congratulate them as Sage Vyasa was an important figure in the empire, one among them being Sage Chanakya.

'Super weak-looking old man!'

Ashoka thought but he could instantly tell that he was one of those old men in novels and animes, who look very weak but in actuality were super powerful.

He watched Sage Chanakya with sparkling eyes as he came towards him.

"May the gods bless these children with strength, power, and wisdom."

He placed his hands on both their head and something amazing happened.

Both blondies and Ashoka's bodies started to glow, although with different colors.

Blondy was brimming with a golden aura whereas Ashoka's aura was pitch black absorbing every bit of light that came near him.

Gasp-

Numerous gasps were heard in the ceremonial hall.

Sage Chanakya chuckled while mumbling, "The blood of Maurya is still alive."

They were words that Ashoka didn't understand, but he was oddly feeling very energetic right now.

Even the crybaby blondie has stopped crying and was chuckling cutely.

Sage Vyasa hurriedly came near them and slightly bowed to Sage Chanakya.

"Thank you, Sir, The children are blessed to have received your blessings"

Sage Chanakya removed his hands from their heads and turned around.

"Hahaha, consider it a gift from this old man"

He didn't say anymore and left the hall quietly.

Ashoka was still not aware of what the Oldman did to them nor why Sage Vyasa thanked them, but he guessed that it was something special.

Anyway, He was getting pretty sleepy after Sage Chanakya removed his hand.

It was like all his energy has been dried out. The feeling was similar to what he felt after two rounds of masturbation.

'This is why I want to grow up fast.'

Combined with his child's body which gets exhausted very quickly, it was very hard to do anything.

Giving up to exhaustion, he started to close his eyes slowly.

'I wish I would have grown bigger when I wake up.'

That was his last thought before his eyes shut down.

Chandra noticed that both the babies were fallen asleep and instructed the maids to bring them to her inner quarters since there were still many quests that she had to greet.
