Background: Shiro and the Holt siblings end up enslaved in the basement over a small clothes maker. Forced to sew the fabrics together, following the makers designs drawn out and creating the clothes ordered. Not paid and only allowed out of the basement to the tiny store built onto the cottage. Never allowed to leave the building itself. Shiro, gains the chance to escape, promising if he's able to gain help in the future to send it to help his still trapped family. But Shiro ends up learning he's the lost prince and soon grows to be the king of the neighbouring kingdom, the cottage built a couple miles from the two kingdom's border. Shiro grows up struggling at first, hits his mid teens and comes across a once loyal knight to the crown who's recognize Shiro looking rather alike to his mother and asking for a name that Shiro didn't think mattered. Shiro defends his kingdom from those that overthrown his parents, takes the throne and grows distracted with ruling his now kingdom and helping it to healthily thrive once more. 

An eleven year old, an ten year old and an five year old found themselves trapped and imprisoned by their mistress. A lady who acted caring as she found them at their worse and had promised kindness and much needed help. Entrapping them in her cottage before forcing them to work for her day after day without pay. Throwing simple and stained oversized shirts down to them as their only means of clothing, the shirts acting as dresses for them all but leaving their feet cold and bare. 

All three forced to follow the patterns on the scattered papers thrown across the basement floor. Grabbing the correctly demanded colours and sewing them into the outfit they've been ordered to create. 

Working hard and long hours. Never given a break for a single day, not even when they're unwell. Two of the children are forced to work extra hard as the third might secretly rest while their mistress rarely checks on them. But all three would be forced to work even harder and treated even more cruller if any were caught slacking off, no reasons mattered in their mistress eyes. 

It left them all taking great care of not gaining any lethal or bad injuries and wounds while they work. To try and keep infection away with the barely half filled bowels or plates they're given twice a day. Thankfully they've get a filled bucket of water, a single wooden cup left floating inside for them to drink out. The mistress at least knew they need plenty of water to keep working at full power.  

At night, after eating their second meal and leaving their dirty dishes by the basement door. They'd all huddle under the self made blanket, it was made from the uneven and unneeded cuts of fabric left littering the basement's floor. Fabrics too small and odd shaped to ever be needed or used. The mistress uncaring over the two oldest carefully sewing all bits of thrown away fabrics together to make themselves one large blanket to all huddle under for warmth as they fall asleep. A second one almost finished and would soon act as an extra layer until the three grew too big to fit under their self made large blanket and would need to start sharing between two. 

At night, they'd sometimes stay awake a little bit longer and huddle closer to the staircase to peek out through the tiny window that viewed the world outside. The Holt's had been there for three years already now while the Shirogane had been there for three and an half. Knowing other children had been imprisoned before him by the nail marks on the stairs and the back of the basement door. The markings made on walls by needles in the past. All three children know that there only stood three ways to leave their mistress.
