Wilbur's POV

I shouldn't have snapped at Alethea like that.

I knew it was wrong the moment the words left my mouth. By morning I was too scared to face her. What if she was mad? I wouldn't blame her.

I left the tower before she woke up.

The previous day had taken its toll on me.

What she didn't know was that I was a prince of one of the most powerful kingdoms in the world. My father was Philza, ruler of the Kingdom of L'manburg.

When I was younger I had requested that I not live in the castle. I needed space to myself. A place to hide all my secrets. A small cottage had been built. This is also where I "slept". In reality, every night I would sneak to the tower and lay with Alethea. Then, early in the morning, I would leave and run back to the palace. Nobody would ever find out I even left.

I had two younger brothers Tommy and Tubbo. They were inseparable. Wherever one went the other was just around the corner. They had completely different personalities though. Tubbo was quiet and kept his thoughts to himself. He struggled when it came to social gatherings. Tommy, however, was strong-willed and defiant. He was fearless but that made him make irrational and stupid decisions frequently. That's what had occurred last night.

Tommy thought it would be a good idea to sneak into enemy territory alone. L'manburg didn't have a good relationship with the Dream SMP Dynasty. They were all egotistical bastards. Plus Dream and I have a very long history of conflict.

When word had gotten out that Tommy had been spotted sneaking out of the walls, I had rushed straight to my father. Philza had received a letter from Dream stating that he had Tommy held captive.

Dream wanted a trade and Wilbur knew exactly what he wanted.

Dream wanted Alethea.

I was conflicted. I loved my little brother with all my heart but I also loved Alethea.

I hadn't slept last night. My thoughts were filled with worst-case scenarios. Would I have to sacrifice Tommy for Alethea's sake? I doubt Dream would kill him.

Besides myself, nobody knew that Thea was still alive except for Dream and his brothers.

They knew of her condition. It was actually Dream's doing that caused her to suffer from memory loss. That was part of the reason why he had kept her a secret between us.

As I arrived at the castle, I headed to my father's office. Papers and pens were scattered everywhere. This was unusual since Phil was an organized and well put together man.

"Any news?" I asked hopefully.

"No." He answered sounding defeated.

Out of everyone, Philza was Tommy's #1 supporter. Whenever he would go out and make trouble, Phil would make excuses for him like "he's just a kid" and "it's what teenagers do". Tommy looked up to his father and sought his approval.

Tommy's current situation was hitting Philza hard. His bright blue eyes were now a muted ghost gray. He hadn't shaved in days and it showed. The man in front of me didn't look like a king.
