Temari sat in a rather large chair in front of three out of his six sons. Victor, Rilly, and Lee. “So, as you know, we have a guest. Her name is Esme Griffin and she will be staying with us for a while. Her father is King Johnathan Steen of Igneous. Her mother was Queen Anna Griffin of Avis. As much as her father denies it, she is the heir to the throne of Avis. The only heir.”

“Gene is the heir of Millenis. He will be a king. But you three…” The king looked across his sons. “Esme is your opportunity. Avis is a powerful kingdom when governed correctly. Victor, you're only 12. And you two are only 9.” He looked between the two boys who looked exactly the same. “But if you want to be a king. I suggest you get to know her.” 

“What about Derek and Robin? Why aren't they here?” asked Lee as he looked between his brothers. 

“They are simply too young.” Temari stated, “Robins six and Derek’s only a year older.”

“But isn't Esme only seven as well? They are the same age. If anything, I’d think it would mean he would be here as well.” questioned Rilly. The twins were picking at something. Something the king wasn't going to let be picked at. 

“This discussion is over, go to bed.”

The boys obeyed their father.
