We see Zalmiuth as he was walking down the huge hallway with Selena.
"Everyone is waiting for you at the table Zalmiuth..." Selena said.
Zalmiuth nodded, and a little bit of anxiety came into him. 'I remember this...My siblings weren't there...'
He has 2 brothers and 1 Sisters. They were not on his birthday, since apparently, they were too "occupied" to come.
As much as Zalmiuth was curious to see them, he didn't quite care. He remembers vividly that only his sister came on his 9th birthday, but it was only for a brief time before she left.

Later, they both stop at a huge room.
In the opulent dining room, adorned with exquisite chandeliers and elaborate tapestries, Dwanus and Zalmiuth exchanged glances across the room, their expressions hinting at a silent conversation. Nildesha stood nearby, her presence commanding attention despite her silence.
At the grand table, two figures sat opposite each other. The first one is called Dasyra Elfina.
She was an elderly woman with an aura of serenity surrounding her. Her complexion was porcelain white, complemented by piercing green eyes that seemed to hold centuries of wisdom. Short black hair framed her face, adorned with two elegant, elongated light brown horns that added to her regal presence.
Beside her sat a petite girl, named Ayla Valzumin.
Her demeanor contrasted with the solemnity of the setting. Despite her youth, there was an air of maturity about her. With black skin and delicate features, her light pink hair cascaded down her shoulders, adorned with small, dark horns that hinted at her lineage. Clad in royalist attire with a touch of boyish flair, she exuded an intriguing mix of innocence and authority.
Zalmiuth walked up to the table "Good morning--"
"Happy birthday!!" Ayla said with a happy tone.
Dasyra and Neldisha chuckled at Ayla's demeanor.
Dasyra: Now honey, be a little calm when you say to him that...
Dasyra is the mother of Naldisha, and Ayla was taken to an orphanage by his mother after a war in a now-dead kingdom. So Basically Ayla is Zalmiuth's half-brother. Even if it was quite a little hard for him to accept it...He accepts it and they both are siblings and friends.
Zalmiuth sat down upon his father and mother. He wasn't very hungry...not like he could be. But it felt nice to be in front of his loved one.
Neldasha: Aren't you hungry honey..?
Zalmiuth shook his head "No not really...I'm not hungry..."
Dwanus chuckled "I guess your still a little bit stress about the birthday...Yes?
Zalmiuth laugh "Er...Yeah i guess...
"This day is really important so...if you need anything honey...you can always count on us." Dasyra said with a calm smile.
Ayla raise her hand exitemdly "Zal..! Zal..! Wanna go and see the others?
Zalmiuth chuckled as he feel at her sister's hyper energetic tone. "As long as they are okay with it." He look at his parents.
Dwanus nodded "As long as both be careful, those rascals are a little bit of trickster..."
Zalmiuth nodded and got up, Ayla ran past him like the wind. 'This girl really...' he sigh and walk at where she went.
We see The king and the queen at the table.
Dasyra look at them with concern "Is it me or Zalmiuth seems a little...tired today?
Neldasha sigh "Yes..he was like this the whole morning...Maybe is because of the birthday...?" He look at his husband.
Dasyra shook her head "Honey you saw him yesterday, he was literally exicted..."
Dwanus look pancife, as much as tries to knkw what's wrong with his son...he couldn't let him like that.
He slowly got up to his seat with a small grunt "I will go see him..."
Dwanus leave the two woman alone as he walk to the hallway.
...
...
Neldasha : Well that quiet unexpected coming from him...He usually never this...worried...
Dasyra chuckled "Well that is what a father would do to their children..."
Neldasha smile at her "You're right..." she slowly drink her tea.
...
...
...
"I heard the bed more yesterday."
Neldasha eyes widen and she split her tea. Her face became red. "M-mama!! Did you stalk us?!"
Dasyra roll her eyes "Leaving the door open wasn't a smart move dear..." she sigh.
Neldasha: W-WHATEVER DON'T DO IT AGAIN PLEASE..!!!
"I will try."
