At the royal palace, there was a flurry of preparation as the servants served breakfast before the royal family arrived. They had gotten information that the other princes had returned home, meaning the family had the opportunity to dine together. It was not every day that the princes were in one place considering they moved constantly, especially the Autumn prince. He was always gone with the wind.
The first to arrive at the table was Valerie since he was used to keeping to time and as the crown prince, he had many things to do. Theodore arrived almost immediately, the brothers acknowledging each other's presence.
"You're here, brother," Valerie said, treating Theodore with courtesy.
Although Fae's custom did not explicitly demand respect for the firstborn, focusing more on the most capable instead, Valerie still respected his elder brother. He was a model prince after all and had to live up to his reputation.
