It was a very beautiful day in Lydia , finally and after years of waiting , King Albert and Queen Edith were having a child.
He was born one winter , was as white as the snow that covered Kardia , and had his mother's blue eyes.
He was named Hiram.
Only two years later Edith gave birth to her second child and named him Leo.
Those two grew up to be so close , they did not share the same interests at all , Hiram loved reading and quiet places like in the middle of the forest or by the beach.
Meanwhile Leo watched his father and wished to be just like him one day since he fell in love with being a king.
Prince Hiram was twelve , sitting in the garden reading a book when his little brother came to him crying.
He dropped his book and got up to ask him...
"Leo ! Why are you crying ?"
"Asher said I can not be king because you are older and you become king"
He said while still crying loudly
Hiram wiped those tears off that adorable face and smiled replying...
"But I do not want to be king so this means only you can be our father's heir"
"Really ?"
He said as if he could not believe it
Maybe his brother said those words just to make him stop crying but it was true Hiram never intended to be a king.
"Yes"
And once he confirmed that to the child his bright smile was back as he went running inside the palace again to ask his father as well.
"Asher ! Do not make him cry"
Hiram complained
"I'm sorry my prince"
The red haired guy who was the prince's same age replied
"Why can't you call me Hiram ?"
The prince said
"Because you are the prince"
Asher replied
"But we are friends"
Hiram complained
"Father ! Father !"
Leo walked into the king's workroom where Albert was reviewing few issues with his advisor.
"What is it Leo ?"
He asked
"Father ! Hiram said I can be king after you because he does not want to , can I ?"
Albert smiled replying
"Of course you can"
The little prince was so happy to hear that but a king needs to work very hard and he did so.
He stopped skipping his classes and started learning new things just by reading.
He learned everything about Lydia and joined his father every time he went to visit his people.
When he saw those faces smiling and clapping , welcoming the king , he just could not wait for his day to come.
"Hiram ! Look what I did"
The little prince ran to show his older brother the map he drew.
"I did not even use a reference"
