Kai didn't want to be here. He was only two, but two year olds can tell what they like and don't like. Luna just scared him. All the adults Lunars and their impossible perfection kept him on edge. And then this huge party for a baby? He just didn't get it. He also didn't really care, as long as he got cake. Oooh… That cake sounded really good…
His father and mother sitting across their room they were staying in while on Luna had more concerns relating to the Crown Princess. They knew why Channary really wanted them here. To secure a betrothal between Kai and Selene. They would have never set foot on Luna otherwise.
"When should we tell him he will one day be married to Selene?", Rikan nervously asked his wife.
"What? He is two, Rikan. You can't tell a two year old that he has to be married to some Lunar baby when he gets older."
"First of all, she is not some Lunar. She is a princess that will one day be queen of Luna, and all our future connections with Luna will most likely survive solely on this alliance. Second, we have to tell him sometime."
"Yes, we have to tell him sometime. But he needs to be allowed to make a life of his own before this becomes his reality."
"Fine, you're the mother. You know best. But don't say I warned you."
"You won't have to."
In another part of the palace….
Levana paced in her rooms. The 18 year old princess was ready to set her plan of vengeance against her sister, Queen Channary, while also setting a path to the throne for her at the same time.
"Two birds with one stone. Two birds with one stone. Two birds with one stone." She chanted over and over.
Sybil opened the door. "You wanted to see me, Your Highness?"
"Yes. Is it ready?"
"Almost is. The mutant letumosis should be ready by the time if the party."
"SHHHH! We don't know who is listening." Levana slowly breathed in and out to calm down. "The plan won't go through if anyone finds out. Especially Channary."
"Yes Your Highness. Sorry Your Highness. Anything else?"
"Have you gotten the poison that will take down her immune system into the child's food?"
Sybil nodded. "That is done."
"I will call you in when you are need next. Dismissed."
