Tommy's cheeks went red,
"Hope you have a great day Tommy, see you later Bye!" said the princess and walked off towards her sisters on the other side of the hall.
"Uhm... bye..." Tommy replied still standing still. Wilbur walked up next to him.
"I see you have a crush there, huh little bro?" Wilbur said into Tommy's ear with a smirk. That brought him right back.
"OH NO, HELL NO I DON'T" Tommy said, going even more red and walked off to a corner of the hall and stood there thinking about something. Wilbur told Techno and immediately both of them came to the corner with Tommy to point out his new crush.
"YOU HAVE A CRUSH, YOUR BLUSHING YOU CANT DENY IT!"
"SHUT UP WILBUR, I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON HER"
"PFFT. AS IF, WE CAN ALL SEE YOUR FACE TOMMY COME ON" said Techno laughing on Wilbur's shoulder.
"She just said happy birthday and you just stood there until she left!" Wilbur said running out of air.
"ATLEAST I SAID BYE BACK"
"oh god this is classic" Techno said leaning on Tommy who was hiding his face.
After the ball and a night of arguing with his brothers and nearly throwing a glass at one, Tommy was officially a 16 year old.
==============================
up to now everything was fine. Technoblade ruled the kingdom well and in any new issues had the help of Philza. Wilbur was improving on his training for the role of king and Technoblade was even contemplating having him as general until then. Tommy had started his physical training a year ago and is still a bit rusty but he would be improving over the upcoming years. He still had the Sundays free so would be in touch with Tubbo.
==============================
Philza was doing his usual rounds about the town. He would see each and every person in the town go to bed and the lights in the houses go out one by one. By midnight the only sound and light there was, were from the men who were in the tavern. Even then where Philza was the night couldn't have been quieter. As he soared across the sky, the gentle cool breeze would flow through the millions of feathers, filtering them before he would land in multiple areas of the forest and fly up again. The half-moon was enough for a moody lighting for anyone to see but still be dark. It was one of Philza's favorite reasons to do his night shift.
A while later, Philza landed in the forest close to town as he was about to take off again, he heard something along the lines of a string being stretched. Immediately looking back an arrow shot out of the darkness and hit the tree next to Philza's head. He heard a whip crack and a horse neigh coming from the direction of the arrow and without hesitance, threw a dagger out of the 5 he had, towards it. He couldn't see anything so had thrown it blindly and assumed he didn't hit. The running of the horse faded off and as he went deeper to see any sign of the dagger doing damage he found the dagger sticking out on a tree. Disappointed, Philza went to pull the dagger out but saw he had caught something with it and once he saw what it was...
Technoblade had already returned to his quarters and only the guards of the palace were awake when Philza returned. Even the men in the tavern had headed off. Philza needed to tell Technoblade about what he got but had to wait until morning. So he waited. Philza stood by the door leaning on it all night, until the morning came. He had to tell this to Technoblade as soon as he woke up. When roughly 7 o'clock arrived, Philza knocked on Techno's doors.
"Come in!"
Philza immediately went inside and closed the doors behind him.
"Techno, you have to see this."
"Alright but hold on I just need to..." Techno was sitting on the side of his bed and adjusting the tight bit around the ankles of his pants. Philza didn't wait anymore. Instead he threw the item in his hands onto Techno's lap.
"Father! What the hell is-" As Techno saw the item his blood ran cold. "H...How did you get this...?"
"I'll explain once me and your brothers meet you in the throne room in 15 minutes." Philza said and exited the room to tell Wilbur and Tommy. In a while all four of them were in the throne room.
"What are we here for? Father literally pulled me out of bed" Wilbur said rubbing his eyes.
"Yesterday night when I was doing my rounds. I was attacked in the forest. I wasn't harmed but neither wasn't the attacker. I had thrown my dagger and missed, it hit a tree but what it did do was hit a flag banner the attacker was holding. Because on the dagger I found this." Philza said passing the item in his hand to Technoblade.
The item was a dark green piece of cloth. The edges were ripped and a bit to the right, were two dots and a smile.
"That, I clearly remember is the flag of the unknown kingdom." Philza said
"Its... it's just a smiling face" Tommy said receiving the cloth from Techno.
"That smiling face is the iconic symbol of a man who murders hundreds and will take down anything he wants." Philza said pointing at the cloth that was passed to Wilbur.
"Wait... what does this mean then?" Tommy asked realizing why this was serious. There was a long pause.
"Were going to have to start preparing... for a war." Technoblade finally said.
"WHAT?!" both Wilbur and Tommy screamed.
"Techno's right. We should prepare in case of an attack, I think you should send some spies to the forest to see if there are any more of his men."
"Father, how did you know it was off a banner if you couldn't see the man"
"The leader of that kingdom makes any men who go off into the forest have that banner with the symbol so if anyone from a kingdom he attacked sees it they won't interfere."
"Wait... so how are we going to? Prepare" Wilbur asked confused on what to do.
"I was thinking of... Wilbur, what do you say to be a general?"
Wilbur was taken aback by this. It seemed ironic to him but he didn't mind.
"I don't mind at all, really..." He said with a smile.
"Alright then, Wilbur you are the new general here"
"Wait what should I do? I've only been training for a year and I still only know the basics." Tommy asked, he was more nervous out of anything.
"Uhm..." Philza gave a worried look at Technoblade.
"Tommy, you will..." Techno said after a pause. Tommy was expecting something along the lines of gathering recruits or something like that but,
"You will hide out with the non- recruits in the safety house"
"WHAT!? FATHER?" Tommy said looking at Philza with his jaw dropped.
"I... agree with Technoblade"
"WHAT THE- WILBUR DO YOU AGREE?!"
Wilbur didn't respond but looking at Tommy he avoided eye contact and faced the floor.
"I CANT BELIEVE THIS"
"Do you WANT to die?!" Technoblade asked losing his anger a bit. Philza immediately looked at Techno to see if it would go further.
"WELL I KNOW I WOULD BE ABLE TO ATLEAST DO SOMETHING?!"
"TOMMY YOU ARE WELL AWARE THAT YOUR TRAINING HAS JUST STARTED AND THAT YOU ARENT READY TO GO TO BATTLE YET!"
"I COULD ATLEAST DO SOMETHING ELSE?! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A GODDAMN SWORD FIGHT MAYBE AROUND THE TOWN?! I HAVE NO INTENTION OF BEING THAT PUNY PRINCE WHO SITS OUT OF A WAR AND IN THE END GETS JUDGED FOR THINKING THAT HE HIMSELF WANTED TO SIT OUT OF IT!"
"TOMMY, JUST SHUT UP! SHUT THE F**K UP! YOU WILL NOT JOIN THIS FIGHT AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW INSIDE THAT USELESS MIND OF YOURS THAT YOU WONT EVER BE CAPABLE OF JOINING A WAR AND ACTUALLY HELPING OR CARING FOR THE TOWN OR DO SH*T. EVER!"
It was silent. Philza was holding Techno by the shoulders and stopping him from jumping out. Wilbur was staring at Techno like he was a wild animal. And Tommy stood there with his head lowered and his hair covering his eyes. His fists clenched. And tears were falling on the red carpet, staining them.
"Ever...?" Tommy asked still standing still.
"*sigh* Tommy... I-"
"No, it's ok" Tommy said lifting his head and revealing a face with a fake smile and tears.
"You don't want me in the war your majesty? I won't be. I won't be there at all. In your own words of never being able to help, I won't join and just be a weight for you to carry around. Good luck your highness and I am ashamed to call this person in front of me, my brother..." Tommy said changing his face to a mad one and walked out of the room.
