Chapter Six: He Knows

-Tubbo's Point of View-

Tonight, there was fresh snow on the ground. Out here it was always cold or snowy. Spring was just a few months of slush snow. So most people have greenhouses. It's really interesting. Other kids played while I squinted at the book I've been reading for the past few days. "Tubbo!" I heard some call out. I looked up and spotted Leo.

"Hello Leo!" I yelled back, still holding my book. He sat down next to me, looking over my shoulder.

"Still reading that one?" He asked like he was surprised. I nodded sheepishly.

"Like Niki has said, education is for the rich." I murmured in response. He huffed and frowned.

"How many textbooks you got Big T?" He asked. I looked at him skeptically.

"Uh, just one. Why are you asking?" I questioned. He shrugged and looked away. But I could tell he was planning something.

"Ever wanted to learn about maths?" He inquired. I nodded excitedly.

"Always! Well, I can do some math, but I've never learned bigger numbers." I admitted, rubbing the back of my neck nervously. He nodded with a small smirk.

"Wanna throw snowballs at the smaller children?" He asked mischievously. I gave him a smile.

"Why not." I said, putting down the book. He quickly ran up to the powdery snow and chucked a snowball at a kid.

"War against the children!" He yelled, scooping up more snow. Then everyone started throwing snow at each other. This Leo guy is fun to hang out with.

-Tommy's Point of View-

~A few days later~

I had been sneaking out almost every night. It was exciting to be around people my age. Especially normal people. Over the last few days I've also been stealing low-level books and textbooks for the orphanage. I had a collection under my bed I planned to bring tonight. I finished my dinner and got up. "Tommy," Techno suddenly said, making me stop, he paused, "goodnight." I looked at him strangely. He hadn't told me goodnight since we were kids.

"Goodnight." I said back, heading up the stairs to my room. I thought about that for a bit. How strange. I shook it off as Techno being weird all of a sudden. I did my nightly routine, shower, brush my teeth, brush my hair, and change. But I changed into Leo. I fixed the beanie over my head and grabbed the satchel of books from under my bed. It was a bit heavy, but a big man like me can handle it.

I opened my window and crawled out, leaving the books by the windowsill. I reached in my room, grabbing the bag carefully. I crawled across the roof, trying to keep my balance as best as possible. Out to town I go.

-Technoblade's Point of View-

I'm worried. And it's not because I'll eventually become king and have to do a lot of work. It's because the revolution has started again. It was easy to see. Guards would come back and inform my dad. I'd be there for input. According to the guards, this revolution is more violent than the last one. My father recently hired spies for an inside look. And the information that was brought back wasn't too good. Some more aggressive revolutionaries want to assassinate the two unknown sons of King Phil. Tommy and Wilbur. My own brothers. It was going to be "sending a message". Not a very good one in my opinion. If my brothers were to die and I couldn't do anything about it... I don't know what I'd do with myself. I took a deep breath and turned to the window. From here, I can see all sorts of constellations. I looked out to the castle itself. I felt a bit better seeing dozens of guards patrolling the perimeter and inside.
