“She killed a royal offspring. That’s a capital offense and its punishment is death. I’ve done her a huge favor by letting her live this long,” He told her.
But the queen was adamant, “She regrets it, Kai. She never planned on harming Emily, everything had happened in the heat of the moment,”
“No,” Judy disagreed with her, “Such thoughts don’t just spring forth immediately. Fiona must have thought of it – imagined it – and then, the opportunity to strike presented itself on that day.”
“It was my fault! I was the one who pressured her into doing that. If there’s anyone who is to be blamed, it should be me!”
“Well,” Judy stood to his feet, “I’m sorry, but I’m never letting Fiona into this kingdom again. That’s her punishment,” Judy finalized.
He was just about to leave when out of the corner of his eye, Judy watched his mother get on her knees.
His eyes widened at once, “What are you doing, mother?” He went over to her and tried to lift her onto her feet, she wouldn’t let him.
“I’m not begging you as the queen but as your mother – your mother who had you in her womb for nine months. Your mother who fought fiercely for your life and made sure you survived the invasion,” She glanced up at him,” I’m not asking you to forgive her, but please let her back into the kingdom. This is her root and she can’t be estranged from it, “
Judy ground his jaw while his hands were clenched by his side. He was at war with his emotions.
“I knew she did you wrong but I’m to blame partially. Please, take into account her father’s royalty and past deeds. Without his help, we wouldn’t have fought against the invaders and given you the home you had now. Please, my son, bring her home,”
Judy took a deep breath and said, “Fine, I’ll do as you asked. So can you please stand up from the floor you’re the queen for fuck’s sake,” He helped her to her feet ignoring the smirk that played across her face. She knew he couldn’t reject her.
“By the way, lest I forget,” Queen Roselle said, “I will have your friends meet the lords tomorrow over a meal. It’s best to develop a strong working relationship between families. What do you think?”

The third point of view:
Every one of them had gathered in their parent’s room wondering why they were summoned. Isabella, Allen, Ailee, and Neon were left with nothing but questions, why were they here?
It was way past their sleeping time and not even the strict Jacqueline had objected to them responding to the summon. They knew then that it was an important meeting and must be a problem in their family since Anabelle was called by her parents as well. Who knew what was going on?
“Are you going to tell us why we are here or not? Unlike you night owls, normal people are asleep or trying to sleep by now,” Isabella pointed out.
It was eleven in the night and she needed to chat with Pedro. It was a nightly ritual and an attempt at keeping the spark in their relationship – communication.
[A/N: My, my, Izzy, you’re trying really hard. You deserve applause]
Niles wiped his face with his palm before rubbing them together and turned to Reina. She had insisted he would be the one to break the news to the kids.
While the couples sat on the edge of their king-sized bed, the kids all sat on the luxurious chaise lounge awaiting their parent’s announcement.
Isabella sat upright near the armrest of the chaise with her arms folded across her chest while Allen was sandwiched between Ailee and Neon and from the occasional struggle for space, it was obvious that he was the one who fixed himself there.
“Truthfully,” Niles began, “We contemplated leaving this news for tomorrow morning but then, I’m so excited and don’t think I’ll be able to sleep tonight without sharing the news with my kids,”
Isabella narrowed her gaze at her father, the man was oddly happy. Not the kind of happiness one gets from drugs – or sex -?genuine happiness from the soul and she had seen that kind of happiness once as a kid – when Maria turned up pregnant.
Oh shit, it could not be…
“Your mother is expecting,”
At that sentence, Isabella leaned back with an exhausted sigh. Her father has done it again. Well, that was expected with her father’s stamina. But then, she wasn’t ready for more siblings nor had she dreamt of more. Allen and Ailee were enough already.
However, unlike Isabella, her other siblings didn’t understand Niles’ terminology.
“Huh?”Allen asked in confusion, “Mom is expecting? What is she expecting?”
“Money?” Ailee added, “Or are we supposed to expect something with mom?”
“What should we expect? Is it something huge?” Neon was ignorant as well.
Isabella was tempted to help them out but then, their suggestions were ridiculously amusing, so she let them be. Moreover, she would like to watch Niles explain that one.
“Yes,” Niles explained to them in a simpler term, “You should expect more siblings. Your mother is pregnant,”
Bang!
No one said a word, extremely shocked – except Isabella. That was not the news they were expecting.
Suddenly, there was a scream as they jumped up and down in celebration. Their mother was pregnant, which meant they would have a sibling soon – Babies were so cute.
Before Reina knew what was going on, the happy Ailee had rushed over and hugged her with momentum, almost bringing the both of them to the bed had Niles not been there to cut the fall.
“Ailee, you should be careful from now on so you don’t injure your mother. The doctors say we should be very careful so the babies don’t get harmed,” Niles said to the little girl who obediently nodded, but to someone else, that was grave news.
“Wait a minute…” Isabella picked out something from Niles’ sentence, “Did you just say babies – plural?” her expression turned serious, “Don’t tell me it’s more than one, please?”
Niles scratched the back of his head, “Sorry, I didn’t exactly specify but your mother is having triplets,”
“What?!” The twins shared in Isabella’s shock.
Isabella facepalmed, she always knew her father would overdo it one day. Finally, he did so.
“Yep,” Reina confirmed, “Blame your father, he’s responsible for this,”
Niles turned to her, “Why should I be blamed for our child?”
“It’s been scientifically proven that women are carriers while men are donors. I birth whatever you give me,” She argued while the triple trouble watched them, perplexed. What were they arguing about? Didn’t they like their future baby siblings or what?
