The sun rose over Frostwind, casting golden light across the palace gardens. Soldiers trained in the courtyards, but inside the palace, a smaller yet livelier scene unfolded: Arin's first child, only a few weeks old, was already the center of attention.
Elara held the baby gently, her calm voice soothing and melodic.
"Sixth Prince… perhaps we can begin introducing simple lessons, even at this early age. Strength, courage… even kindness can be nurtured from the start."
Mira observed quietly, serene as ever, her fingers brushing the baby's tiny hands.
"Observation confirms early guidance shapes both character and awareness. Small exercises, encouragement, and gentle teaching will foster wisdom and resilience."
Seren, bouncing around with excitement, clapped her hands dramatically.
"Lessons? Are we really starting that soon? Don't worry, Sixth Prince! I'll make sure they grow up fearless, mischievous, and ready to drive the rivals crazy!"
Arin laughed softly, lifting the tiny child into his arms.
"Then it seems we will have a perfect balance: wisdom, calmness, courage, and a healthy dose of chaos. Frostwind's next generation begins already with the right foundations."

As the day progressed, the palace filled with laughter and gentle chaos. Seren insisted on playful exercises, coaxing giggles from the baby, while Mira carefully instructed Arin on early observation techniques for nurturing intelligence. Elara calmly guided the baby's movements, offering advice on posture and strength even in infancy.
Later, as night fell, Arin sat between his closest companions. Elara rested against his chest, Mira's hand gently held his, and Seren leaned teasingly close, whispering playful suggestions for the baby's training.
Arin smiled softly, realizing: the dynasty he built with strength and strategy was now truly alive, breathing, laughing, and growing around him.
Even amidst looming threats and rival princes plotting in the shadows, these intimate, comedic, and loving moments gave him strength. Frostwind's power was no longer just political or martial—it was heart, family, and unity.

And as the palace fell silent, the tiny sound of a baby's coo reminded Arin that the dynasty's future was already taking shape—not just in armies and politics, but in love, laughter, and the next generation of Frostwind's heirs.
