In another time, the Queen's plans didn't come to fruition. The Sun King had amassed the Solar army and successfully stopped the invasion on the Moon, rallying the rest of the Solar System's kingdoms into action. Endymion's forces on Ganymede were met by the Jovian army and Titan's militia in the first half of the invasion, and once Beryl fell and the rest of the System's armies had come his fate was sealed.
Lord Fred'rich of Ganymede handed over a chained Endymion to the Solarian soldiers to escort him back to Sol to face trial. Many bodies littered the ground of his ancestrial home, a good number he recognized from his own militia or from Titan's. From what he heard from the Moon and Solarian soldiers, it had been a two front invasion: one led by the deranged prince, and the other by a misguided and easily corrupted soul from Earth. It made him worry for his beloved wife even more. Did something happen to her while he fought? She had complained of some pain earlier that morning. Had an assassin slipped by and infiltraded the manor during the battle?
"Son," his father-in-law, Lord Sin of Titan, laid a gentle hand on his shoulder, bringing him out of his musings. "Go check on your wife. We shall handle things here."
He looked to him and the other two lords and prince that had come to aide them. A Solarian lord with half of his face covered, a Martian lord that almost appeared to be made of stone, and Prince Edward-whom he had no idea when he had shown up-all gave him a nod of reassurance.
"Thank you," he said, bowing to them before calling for his horse. The ride back to his home felt longer than it should have been, and his fear peaked when he dismounted his horse in the courtyard and heard his wife cry out in pain. "Titania!"
"My Lord, calm yourself," an older maid that had served his family since he was a young boy said to him. "Princess Hestia is with her, and she won't let you in to my Lady's chambers unless you've calmed down."
"Calm down? How am I supposed to be calm when I hear my wife-" Whatever else was going to say died on his lips when a different cry was heard. It wasn't Titania, and he was certain he knew what this one meant. Fred'rich hurried inside, not paying attention to the servants and guards calling out to him as he made his way to his and his wife's shared chambers. Another cry had joined the first just as the door to his destination came into his sight. He nearly startled himself with how loud the bang of the opening door was to his ears, yet all of his attention was directed to his wife, his exhausted wife laying in bed.
"Fred'rich," she cried out in joy as he embraced her. "My love, meet your son and daughter."
It was then he fully notice the two babies she held, both small, pink, and scrunching up their faces in displeasure.
"H-Hello, little ones," he finally chocked out, overwhelmed by the pure joy and awe of finally meeting his children.
That night, Ganymede celebrated more than the Solar System's victory against evil, they celebrated the birth of their Lord and Lady's children, Paul and Rebecca.
