You were always sensitive to noise, well...every beastmen is. You are not one for gossip, but you can't help but listen in on the latest drama around the palace, and as a servant of the royal family, you've heard alot about the princes.

" Did you hear? Falena just graduated! Top of his class!", " wonderful! We should start a feast to celebrate!" Was a conversation you heard between the kitchen staff. " Hmp. That Falena boy is shaping up to be a great successor to the throne.", " yes quite. Can you imagine his coronation? I hope it's a moment written down in our history. " was a whisper between guards.

You've heard great things of Falena, and even met the soon to be prince once or twice, he really did live up to the rumours...and then there was Leona. " Augh! That troublesome brat! I can't believe he'd speak that way to the neighbouring representatives!", " if some doesn't shut his mouth, I fear he may cause a war with his tongue alone. " grumbled the handmaidens as they cleaned.

" I...I saw it with my own eyes! The prince turned the tree into nothing but sand! Ashes of what it once was, in a blink of an eye!", " such destructive power.... I feel so sorry for the king and queen for dealing with such a cursed child.", " at least they have Falena to make up for it." was the muffed words of the royal painters.

Now, you only saw the young prince once in a blue moon never really having a proper conversation with him, from what you heard alone you'd think he was the second coming of Hades the way the palace staff would speak so cruelly about the young prince in whispers or closed doors.

That was until you finally had the opportunity to talk to Prince Leona, due to an emergency his his original caretaker you were called last minute to watch over the young prince. That this time Leona would be about 10 years old, but surprised that he played chess at such a young age, with bandages covering his left eye from a prior incident you have yet to ask about.
