The palace halls echoed with soft giggles and playful squeals. Arin's first child, only a few months old, was already showing a mischievous streak, reaching for toys, blankets, and even the fingers of those nearby.
Seren hovered nearby, a wide grin on her face.
"Look at them! Sixth Prince, this little one is already full of chaos! I knew they'd take after you in courage… and me in style!"
Arin laughed softly, gently catching the baby's tiny hand.
"Careful, or they'll outwit all of us before they can even walk."
Elara, calm and graceful, held the baby securely, offering guidance.
"Patience is key. Chaos is natural, but so are strength, wisdom, and empathy. We must nurture all aspects equally."
Mira knelt beside them, her serene gaze focused.
"Observation confirms that a balanced environment—play, laughter, and gentle guidance—fosters both intelligence and resilience. Our child is thriving."

The day was filled with gentle lessons and playful chaos. Seren attempted mock "training drills," Arin laughed at every exaggerated move, Mira ensured calm observation, and Elara guided the child's small movements with soft, precise care.
At one point, the baby's tiny hands reached for Arin's face, giggling uncontrollably. Seren clapped her hands dramatically.
"See? Already testing the Sixth Prince! I told you chaos comes early!"
Arin chuckled, brushing the baby's tiny fingers away affectionately.
"You're right. But with all of you guiding them… this child will grow strong, wise, and full of joy."
As night fell, Arin sat surrounded by his closest companions. Elara rested against his chest, Mira's hand intertwined with his, and Seren leaned playfully, whispering humorous plans for the baby's upbringing.
Arin whispered softly,
"Even amidst rival princes plotting outside, this… this laughter, these small moments… are our true strength. Frostwind's dynasty lives not only in power but in love, family, and unity."
Elara smiled softly.
"Together, we will nurture both the city and our home. And in doing so, we create a legacy stronger than any sword or spell."
Seren grinned mischievously.
"And I'll make sure there's never a dull day in the process!"

The night filled with laughter, gentle touches, soft whispers, and coos of Frostwind's first child. Outside, the city slept, unaware that the true power of the dynasty—love, trust, and family—had grown stronger than ever.
