In a kingdom where tradition reigns and the weight of duty is heavy, Prince Izana is admired for his fairness and kindness, yet he carries the burden of expectations that overshadow his true desires. Despite his royal privileges, he yearns for a con...
The sun hung high in the sky, casting a warm golden light over the royal garden. Flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, creating a picturesque scene that seemed straight out of a fairy tale. The sweet scent of blossoms filled the air, and laughter echoed as Evelyn played with her three-year-old daughter, Elara.
Elara was a little bundle of joy, her bright purple eyes sparkling with mischief and delight. Today, she wore a light, colorful dress adorned with frills and layers that danced around her as she twirled in the grass. Her long, wavy hair bounced with every step she took, a cascade of brown strands that mirrored her mother's. The little girl was always eager to explore and play, and Evelyn cherished every moment spent in her company.

"Mama! Look at me!" Elara squealed, spinning around in circles, her dress swirling around her like a whirlwind of color.
Evelyn smiled, her heart swelling with love as she watched her daughter. "You're a beautiful princess, my love!" she called out, clapping her hands in delight.
Elara giggled, the sound bright and infectious, before running toward her mother with open arms. Evelyn knelt down to her daughter's level, cupping Elara's face in her hands. "You are the light of my life," she said softly, brushing a few strands of hair away from her daughter's forehead.
"Mama!" Elara beamed, her small hands reaching up to hold onto her mother's arms. "I'm a princess, just like you!"
"Yes, you are! And guess what?" Evelyn's voice took on a conspiratorial tone as she leaned closer, her heart racing with excitement. "I have a little secret to tell you."
Elara's eyes widened, her curiosity piqued. "What is it, Mama?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.
Evelyn smiled gently, her heart filled with joy as she caressed her daughter's soft hair. "You're going to be a big sister! There's a little baby growing in my tummy, and you're going to have a sibling."
"Baby?" Elara's eyes sparkled with wonder. "A baby brother or sister?"
Evelyn chuckled softly, "We don't know yet! But I can't wait to find out. You're going to be the best big sister, I just know it." She paused, lowering her voice to a whisper. "But you have to promise me something—don't tell your father just yet. Let's make it a surprise for him, okay?"
"Okay, Mama!" Elara nodded eagerly, a grin spreading across her face as she processed the news.
"Now, run upstairs and tell him! He'll be so happy!" Evelyn encouraged, watching as Elara bounced on her toes, her excitement bubbling over.
Without hesitation, Elara took off, her little feet pattering against the cobblestone path as she dashed toward the castle. However, halfway up the stairs, she collided with a tall figure, her father, Izana, who was just coming down.
Izana laughed heartily, his strong arms reaching out to catch her before she could tumble backward. "Whoa there, little one! Where are you running off to in such a hurry?" he asked, lifting her into the air as she squealed with delight.
"Daddy!" Elara exclaimed, wrapping her tiny arms around his neck, her earlier excitement still shining in her eyes. "Mama said I'm going to be a big sister!"
Izana's expression shifted from surprise to pure joy, his heart swelling at the thought. "Really? A big sister? Oh, how exciting!" He grinned, looking into Elara's bright purple eyes that mirrored his own. "And what do you think about that, my little princess?"
Elara giggled, nodding enthusiastically. "I'm going to be the best big sister ever!"
Izana chuckled, feeling a wave of happiness wash over him. "You already are! I can't wait to see you help take care of your baby brother or sister. This family is getting even more wonderful."
As he held Elara close, the sun seemed to shine brighter, casting a golden hue around them. Evelyn watched from a distance, her heart overflowing with love and gratitude for the beautiful family they had created together.
Izana gently placed Elara back down, but she quickly grasped his hand, her little fingers wrapping around his tightly. "Come play with us in the garden, Daddy! There are flowers everywhere, and Mama is so pretty!"
Evelyn couldn't help but laugh at her daughter's enthusiasm. She knew how much Elara adored her father and how the two of them shared a special bond. Izana's eyes sparkled with mischief as he knelt down to Elara's height. "You're right! I need to see how pretty your mama is. Let's go!"
The trio made their way back into the garden, the laughter echoing around them as they picked flowers and played games, completely unaware of the beautiful moments that lay ahead. The love they shared in that garden was palpable, a reminder of the precious connections that had blossomed over the years.
As Evelyn watched her two favorite people play together, she felt a sense of peace and contentment wash over her. With a new life growing inside her, she knew they were embarking on yet another adventure—a journey filled with love, laughter, and the joy of family.
And as the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow over the garden, Evelyn embraced the moment, ready to cherish every second with her little princess and the wonderful man she loved.
