Queen Marietta's POV (Third Person)

With her dark purple hair hanging around the small child, the queen hummed softly to her infant daughter, rocking her gently,"My dear Minxy, you will be the greatest queen there every was."

Someone rapped their knuckles on the door,"Come in."

Marietta set Minx down in her crib while she straightened her dress before anyone stepped into the room.

"King Horace will be arriving at the gates shortly," a guard known as, Markus informed the queen.

"He knows to come straight upstairs." Marietta said quietly,"You have a newly-born son, right?"

"Yes, milady. He is a third, and my wife enjoys calling him Mark."

"That is nice. Our children need to cooperate together. They are the next generation. Will he also become a guard?"

Markus chuckled,"Every member of my family has been a guard. There is nothing else I could possibly teach him."

Horace burst through the door in an impolite manner. He ran to his wife and engulfed Marietta into a hug.

"If you will excuse me, I will be leaving," Marcus stated after the king came into the room.

"You are excused." Marietta dismissed him.

"Mari, I am very sorry that I was not here when our child was born. Where are they?"

"Her name is Minx to follow the "M" name tradition," the queen stated as she pointed to the baby's crib by the windowsill.

"That is an odd name."

"Michelle is our daughter's real name, but I have gotten into a habit of calling her Minx. Most everyone in the castle calls her that too," the queen explained.

"Well-" Horace was cut off by an explosion farther down in the hall. He sprinted down to defend his home.

Marietta peeked through the crack between the closed doors to see what was happening. It was a trick she had learned when she was fourteen which had helped her learn a lot of important information her parents wouldn't tell her.

Screech, she scanned the room when she heard a blade being pulled out of its sheath.

"Your majesty," a female voice forced through clenched teeth.
