Kingdom of minthro

Thomas left the palace and headed home with high hopes of things to come.

That night, after Melissa had brushed her hair and put Seth to bed, she expressed her joy to her husband.

"Seth with be the most magnificent king! He will rule with charisma and a good sense of law. Just like you." Thomas nodded and lay down to go to sleep. "Are you not excited?" She inquired at the lack of enthusiasm from her husband.

"I am very happy." He held on to Melissa's hands. "Seth just needs to be reared into the king we all know he will be. That is the process that will take time." He smiled and expected Melissa to drop the subject.

"Yet you don't seem happy."

"This is the best thing we could have possibly done for our kingdom and for Seth but it also means that Seth needs to learn how to be a king. The best place to send him would be to Earth. He'd be close to the moon and he could get the best possible training."

"You act as if we are sending him away for knight training. He doesn't need to leave yet. I knew that he would need to go to Earth but I thought we had a good five or six years before anything was decided." Melissa had expected her husband to send him to Earth to be taught by the best but not when he was five! She didn't, however, want to argue with her husband, and rolled over to go to sleep. Thomas did the same, and within fifteen minutes, they were both sleeping.

Moon Kingdom

Nine months passed by quickly and Serenity gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The entire universe rejoiced at the birth of the child. She was named after her mother, Serenity, but everyone simply called her Serena. As a baby, she glowed with spirit.

By the time Serena was one, she was walking; and by the time she was two, she was speaking. At two years of age, Serena had developed long golden hair and her mother's eyes that shone like pearls.

At Serena's first birthday, the entire kingdom stopped their lives to see the princess. There was a glorious banquet thrown in Serena's honor and all the nobles turned out to pay their tribute's to the princess. Stacks of gifts lay around the throne room. Servants rushed around to clear all the gifts away in time for the dancing to begin.

Serena slept through the whole ordeal.

It was midnight when Thomas, Melissa, and Seth arrived to see the new princess. Serena was sound asleep, wrapped up in her new blanket; her head was propped up on a golden pillow. The crown hushed as Serenity showed Seth his bride-to-be. It was unbeknownst to the five-year-old that this baby would someday be his wife. Seth nodded and presented Serenity with his gift of gold and jewels for the arrival of the baby.

"Thank you, Seth." She saw the confusion in his eyes. "Do you understand who this baby is?" She asked Seth.

"She's the new princess." Seth responded. Thomas prayed silently that his son wouldn't say anything regrettable.

"You are going to marry her when you come of age." Seth stared at Serenity and scratched his head. He thought he understood her and went back with his parents. Melissa complimented his job of presenting Serenity with the gift and speaking with her. Seth smiled at his mother and yawned.

"I thinks it's time for you to go to bed." His father said, and patted him on the head. Thomas looked at Melissa and motioned toward the doors.

"I'll take him home." Melissa said and scooped Seth into her arms. He wiggled for a moment then fell asleep. Melissa carried him out as Seth clutched her purple, silk dress and sucked his thumb.

She smiled at her little man and hoped that her understood that Serena would be his wife.
