Listening recommendation: 'rises the moon' – Liana Flores
Weeks passed, bringing a normal day within the L'Manburg Kingdom.
The three Princes were summoned to the King's and Queen chambers. They all entered, cautious, but focused. They saw the Queen, sitting on the edge of the bed, her hands curled on her lap, her body tense. The King, stood beside her, his hand gently placed on her back. He looked at his sons, his gaze speaking something hidden. He dismissed the two guards within the room, leaving them alone with the three princes. The usual calmness that filled their mother's presence had dissipated. This was it.

Wilbur and Technoblade stood frozen, while Tommy's eyes glistened, his smile ear to ear with cheer. He ran up to the Queen, and tightly clung on to her arm.
"Yes! I'm finally having a younger sibling!" He burst out giddily. While Tommy continued to lose his senses, The King and Queen looked up at Wilbur and Technoblade standing before them. Their faces stunned.
They had no idea how the two brothers would react. The family was already rather large. The news of another sibling, another heir, another succession. They worried for Technoblade and Wilbur's reaction. How would they react to the news of another younger sibling? They already had Tommy's bright confirmation, but the still silence from the two, left the King and Queen tense.
"Techno, Wilbur... are you two okay" Their mother asked, fearing backlash.
"I understand we should have told you sooner, we just required time to figure out how to embrace this news, to inform you, as well as the Kingdom. We hope you understand"
Technoblade and Wilbur's past few days of worry, vanished. Everything snapped into place. Words weren't said, but a burst out laughter of disbelief and shared celebration was all they needed. It wasn't long before they enveloped Tommy among their joy towards the reveal.
The tension in the chambers dissipated, replaced with the shared relief and support of a secret, now open, and nurtured.

"Mama, when will I meet them?" Tommy asked, approaching the Queen in a childish waddle.
They were out in the Royal Garden, seated beneath the ancient oak, huddled within its roots. The shadows of the leaves wrapped around the young Prince and the Queen. The soft breeze helped the leaves dance, warping their shadows over the two faces gazing up at them. They sheltered them with the cooling shade they deserved.
The Queen's layered dress ruffled over her and Tommy's huddled legs. The layers of silk on her lap served a warm cushion, on which Tommy curled up and laid. Her black hair draped over her shoulder and reached down to lightly kiss his arm. His legs were intertwined within the layers of material. His hands slightly clutched onto his mother's lap.
The Queen ran her plump fingers through Tommy's hair. The millions of stray curls jumped and bounced out as her fingers combed through them. Tommy let a soft smile break as he felt the familiar hand stroke his head. A long break of silence fell over them, only distracted by the distant call of a songbird and the music of leaves against each other. The silence was finally broken,
"Mama... How much longer do we have to wait for the little one?" He said, sitting up straight to look at the Queen. He stood up completely, dashing over to a nearby hedge. In a flash, he ran back, clutching a yellow tinted primrose. He came back up to her, gave it to her and curled back down beside her again.
"It should only be a couple more months sweetheart" She said softly twiddling the flower by the stem.
"But I want to meet them" Tommy weakly whined, losing his focus as he watched her skilfully twirl the flower.
