Prologue

-"Talia, you want our kingdom to last, then don't meddle."

-"Tom, you can't do this to her, you can't do this to any of the three."

-"Of course I can! and you shouldn't talk to me like that."

-"They are my children too! and I will not let you ruin them."

-"I'm not ruining them, I'm predating the kingdom by setting things."

-"And who are you to decide their future in this way, I am sure they will manage everything perfectly if not better than you. You had a choice in becoming that, so let them choose what is best for themselves from who they share the rest of their lives with."

-"Exactly! They will share life and therefore also the kingdom and if they take a little good who thinks he can destroy all this work? Don't think about how they could end it all by simply using what you call feelings. " the man in his thirties gets up from his studio chair and approaches his wife looking out at the large window that leads to the front of the big villa.

-"My dear, you must begin to learn that the world is not made of feelings, unfortunately, we have learned it at our expense." whispers to her ear, and with one arm he wraps his waist around her, and with the other hand he caresses her face.

-"What about us?" asks the young woman.

-"Call it what you will, but you know I don't believe in that. Go on, Talia, get settled, they'll be here soon", says the man and then he returns to his desk.

The woman leaves her husband's studio with her unique elegance and heads for the majestic staircase of the villa leading to the rooms upstairs. She leaves her hand on the handrail and thinks back to the discussion she had earlier with her husband, which makes her nervous. When he reaches the upper floor, he approaches the children's playroom, the only joy that this cruel world has given him after so much suffering, he thinks.

She looks over the bedroom and glimpses her two principles as they try to teach their little sister some new tricks.

-"Come on Morgan, repeat with me Wingardium Leviosa" says the first one, showing with the hand gesture the movement that must be done with the wand.

-"Wingardium Leviosa" the little one repeats in a feeble voice.

-"Come on, Tom when she's grown up will learn it, let's play now."

-"You play, Mattheo, but I want it prepared for when it starts."

-"You still have five years left to remember."

-"Good Thomas that tries to teach her, but Mattheo is also right, you little ones enjoy the time to play as long as you can" says the woman entering the room with a furry step.

-"Mama!" they shout in unison and run into their mother's arms.

-"Why don't you go play in the garden before the meeting, Draco will be here soon too."

-"Dray dray" says Morgan.

-"But why do you have to make this meeting, you said it yourself...we are small"

-"Unfortunately, it is not I who decides..."

-"Is it not our father?" asks Mattheo.

- "Matt, don't get mad..."

-"When I grow up, I will treat my woman as I treat you and Morgan, nothing less but the best," says the little one firmly.

-"I'm sure and I recommend not to change Mattheo, okay? Always remain respectful of everyone"

- "I promise you, Mom."

- "You two understand?"

-"Yes, of course."
