They always said that as long as you try your best to do something, you could do it. They always said if you work hard, you can accomplish anything. They always said that how you were doesn't define you, and that you could change for the better, and that there was always room for improvement. Well that was bullshit, innit? Because no one acknowledged tommy on what he did, no one ever listened to him, and everyone always judged him based on his past. But he shouldn't be surprised at this point, because all they ever said was bullshit...

Tommy was the youngest of the family about 5 years younger than wilbur, and 6 for techno. Ever since he was little, he had been told that he would never inherit his fathers throne, especially being the loud ass that he was. Compared to Technoblade who was known as the best warrior in the land and Wilbur Soot who was the most knowledgeable person in the land and a brilliant musician, tommy was always told to be more like his brothers, he was always ignored of the talents he had.

Techno, Wilbur and Phil had gotten together, and gave tommy 2 music discs that he still treasured till this day, Cat and Mellohi, they weren't considered as rare discs, but held a sentimental value to tommy, everything that his family had ever given to him was treasured very carefully. Tommy would play the guitar wilbur got him on his 12th birthday, whenever he was bored. Tommy would always polish the blade techno gave him during his 14th birthday after training.

And today, well today the palace was rather quiet, which was weird, some would even say suspicious. Phil sighed, it was never this quiet unless tommy was plotting something, his son was always just causing chaos around the palace, and phil just hoped that tommy would mature soon. Tommy really wasn't plotting anything, it was just... an off day, one of those days where you just feel mentally exhausted and worn out, tommy had about one of these days every month, usually he would just try his best to cover it up, but today was different, today he was just too tired to do anything.

At breakfast, when tommy came in 15 minutes late, interrupting the conversation phil and techno were having, three heads turned towards the 16 year old, philza's happy expression quickly turned to a lecture-y/disappointed face. Tommy simply brushed it off, went to his seat and started getting some waffles onto his plate. Phil started scolding tommy, saying how a royal should always be on time, saying what if this was a war meeting and because of him they had lost the war. Tommy continued nibbling on his waffles, no paying any attention to his father.

"Listen to me when I talk? Tomathy Innit!" Tommy started at phil with deadpan eyes, the full name card? really phil? "I am listening." looking back down at his waffles, and continuing to eat. "What did I say then huh?" Wilbur knew their father had caught tommy, sighing he put his head on his hand, looking at tommy to see what he would do next. " You talked about how a royal shouldn't always be on time, and how it could've been about war, and how everyone could've died because of me." Techno raised a brow at his brother, surprised he had actually been listening. Phil looked at tommy like a deer caught in headlights, he couldn't really scold tommy now... he was really listening. As tommy walked out of the dining hall, barely having had eaten his waffles, said "Father, stop underestimating me, maybe if you actually payed attention to my achievements for once if your mother fucking life, you would realise don't have to be like techno nor wilbur." And walked out without saying another word, leaving the father son trio stunned.

As tommy walked back into his room, he was planning on just listening to his discs, and maybe read about his favourite historical figure, Hamilton. But as he looked at his wall, Cat was missing from the display, tommy freaked out immediately messing up his room, trying to find the disc. Hearing all the commotion even in the dining hall, phil techno and wilbur went into Tommy's room, only to see a bunch of papers scattered on the floor, and everything messed up, with tommy in the middle of it.

"What the actual fuck are you doing tommy?" "Oh techno, you're here, have you seen my disc? Yknow cat?" "no?" "ugh you're useless go away!" "Stop trashing up your room for no reason young man, honestly do you have any respect?" philza said to his youngest son. " I'm trying to find my music disc dad! I'm certain i put it on the display! Have you seen it?" "You're trashing your room for a stupid disc?! God what the hell is wrong with you tommy?! This is why you will have no chance of becoming my successor, you're always just throwing around these little tantrums for now reason! Clean your room at once!" Leaving no room for argument and leaving alongside wilbur and techno.

Philza didn't even remember the discs he had given tommy for his birthday, and he doubted his brothers did either, because that all Tommy was to them, a troublesome child that had no right to be called a prince. And that's how they'd continue to treat tommy as, because even if he tried to change, and believe me he tried, they would never treat him differently. He 𝗵𝗮𝗱 to continue pretending, he couldn't stop, he can't stop, this mask performance would have to last, because this was he expected, this was what everyone expected...
