The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm, golden light over the castle’s lush garden as the royal family gathered for an afternoon together. King Edward and Queen Helan sat side by side on a stone bench, watching their three children with fondness as they moved about the garden. Prince Harry, ever the responsible heir, was demonstrating his archery skills to his younger brother, Louis, while Suki sat nearby, her book forgotten as she observed the playful exchange.

"Come on, Louis, you need to keep your arm steady," Harry instructed, his voice steady but filled with the patience of an older brother. Louis, slightly frustrated but determined to impress, drew the bow back again. "I am keeping it steady!" he insisted, his brow furrowed as he aimed. Just as he released the arrow, it flew wide, landing far from the target. Harry laughed, clapping a hand on Louis's shoulder. "Not bad, but you’ve still got some practice ahead of you." Louis groaned in mock frustration, "Easy for you to say, Mr. Perfect Shot."

Meanwhile, Suki wandered over to her parents, her curious eyes flickering between her brothers and the peaceful garden. “Father, can we walk to the lake later?” she asked, her voice soft and eager. King Edward smiled down at her, resting a hand gently on her shoulder. “Of course, my little one. The lake is beautiful this time of day.” Queen Helan nodded, her serene expression glowing with warmth. "But first, let’s enjoy this moment together. Your brothers could use some company—perhaps they need a princess to show them how it’s done?" she teased gently, winking at Suki. Suki giggled and bounded off toward the boys, who were still bickering over Louis’s technique, bringing her light-hearted energy into the mix.
