A long time ago in a far-away kingdom the demon queen Nova gave birth to twins, both boys. One with hair blue like the sky above and the other with hair that shone like the sun. However, upon the queen's death the twins were separated by Tad Strange the cold-hearted demon general. Bill grew up to be the ruler of the Cipher Kingdom...

11 years earlier

"We'll always be together right Bill?" Will asks twisting a flower between his small fingers.

"Of course!" Bill replies not looking up from the flowers he's weaving together.

"Bill I'm serious!" Will whines.

"So am I." Bill grins plopping the flower crown on Will's head. "Now you're even more adorable!" Bill giggles. "

"I am not cute!" Will says pushing Bill playfully.

"Yes, you are." Bill says hugging his red-faced brother.

"Hmph" Will pouts.

"Aww come on smile!" Bill says tickling Will.

"Ahahaha n-no fair!" Will squeals giggling.

"All is fair in love and tickle war!" Bill says sitting on top of Will's chest.

"Pft get off me you goof." Will says pushing his brother off him.

"You know we'll always be together." Bill says as they watch the clouds overhead.

"I'm scared Tad will take you away from my side." Will whimpers tears beading in his uncovered eye.

"He wouldn't dare." Bill says a slight growl to his voice his eye turning red.

"B-Bill you're u-using your scary v-voice again…" Will stutters shivering.

"S-sorry." Bill says calming down his eye going back to normal.

"You know I cannot stay mad at you." Will says hugging Bill. Bill grins hugging back wrapping an arm around Will's shoulders,

"There is a world of opportunity waiting for us out there! Just imagine it."

Will smiles leaning on his brother's shoulder. "You and I against the world..."

"...jesty... Your Majesty!" Bill snaps out of his reverie hearing someone calling for him. He straightens up on his throne, "Yes, Pine Tree?" He asks watching the older demon scowl at the nickname.

"You have duties to attend to today." The ocean-eyed demon huffs.

"Are you feeling unwell Lord Cipher?" Maya asks looking concerned.

"I miss my brother." Bill sighs.

"There is a second prince?!"The twins say together.

"Yes however, Tad separated us as soon as our mother died." Bill replies a slight edge to his tone.

"Dan now is hardly the time for theatrics." Maya groans catching her sibling before he draws the blade he has on his hip.

"Think nothing of it, Maya." Bill dismisses sinking back onto his throne.

"Dan go outside and make sure things are set for tomorrow." Maya says.

"As you wish." Daniel replies in a terse tone before taking his leave.

"I apologize for my brother Lord Cipher." Maya says awkwardly.

Bill smiles at the red eyed woman, "No need to apologize I know he is still adjusting to life here after the disaster you two escaped from." Maya goes up to the throne and shows him the list of tasks to be done.

"I used to love the festival too..." Bill hums sadly. "But no time for moping over the past." Bill adds looking over the list. "Hum good to know that the florists listened to the request for more hypoallergenic flowers, no one wants to spend the festival sneezing." Maya nods as they continue to go down the list. "I will go help the dock hands make a stronger flood barrier after lunch." Bill says and Maya makes a note of it. They soon became so absorbed in the list that the entry of a maid startles them.

"L-Lord Cipher…?" She says timidly causing Bill to jump knocking heads with Maya.

"We have not knocked skulls months." Maya laughs rubbing her forehead and giving Bill his crown, which had fallen off.

" That record is out the window I suppose." Bill agrees putting the crown back on. "What did you need Makona?" He asks the maid.

"T-The new butler is here m-my lord." Makona stammers.

"I slipped my mind that the new butler arrives today." Maya says clapping her hand to her forehead looking distressed.

" Maya, breathe." Bill chuckles. He looks at Makona, "Send him in."

"Yes, my lord." Makona bows and scurries away to fetch the new butler.

"She is a timid little thing is she not?" Bill asks and Maya nods.

"I should ensure sure she sends him to the right room this time." Maya says and Bill nods. The elder demon bows and exits the throne room leaving Bill alone with the list of tasks to be done. Bill returns to reading through it making note of what he can get done today. He once again becomes so absorbed in the list that the door opening startles him.

He looks for his crown which has once again fallen off his head by the sudden movement. A white gloved hand holds it out to him.

"Your crown my Lord."

Bill reaches out to take it and freezes staring into the sky-blue eyes of his new servant.

His hand remains outstretched to grab his crown. A choked sound escapes him and his eyes water.

"W-Will…?"
