3RD'S POV

The time was so fast, they didn't realized it's already been a year has passed by and tomorrow at mid night axle will turn 10 yrs old and the curse will lift

They were all nervous but doesn't want to show it to axle, they decided to celebrate his birthday tomorrow morning as an advance so he can atleast celebrate it

It was a chaotic day, they rushed things up just to prepare for his advance birthday celebration

The 'servants' are the one who sends invitations and decorated the area, even siah helps them since he doesn't have anything to do today while axle is only watching them while eating some snacks

While axle munching his snacks the maids and siah cant help but cooed at his cuteness while still decorating

Time sure flies and the preparations is done, they were all tired and decided to take a break

Siah saw the tired faces of them and he's still have enough energy to bake some cookies, he went to the kitchen and asks the chef if he can use it

The chef was hesitant at first but he realized it was siah who is talking to him. There was rumor going around that siah is the caretaker of their young master so the chef agreed at him

Siah can bake cookies since elliana and mariel taught him back then

After baking the cookies, siah divided it to the servants and leaves some for axle and zach

He went upstairs and saw axle wondering around the hallway, he chuckled subconsciously and held axle's hand while carrying the cookies on his other hand

They were already in front of the door of the study room and axle was about to knock when they heard zach "come in"

Siah flinched a little and let go of axle's hand to open the door, they went inside and sat on the chair while putting the cookies in a bowl in front of zach

Zach looked at the cookies first then at axle to siah

"Want some?" Siah asked him while feeding axle, zach nodded at him and continued what he is writing

Siah raised his eyebrow, wondering why wont he eat it when he wants it. He shook his head and continued to feed axle when he heard someone clicking his tongue

He looked at zach confusedly and saw zach staring at him while his mouth is open slightly

Siah realized it and felt his ears warmed but he shook it and feed zach the cookie, alternately he feed zach and axle while the two doing their own business. Siah cant help but let out a chuckle

"I felt like i have a two babies here"

Axle looks at him smiling while munching his cookie, the sight was so cute that siah subconsciously patted axle's head

Zach only watched them for a few minutes and continued his work, this situation stayed for a few hours until it was already dinner time

Tomorrow came, it was already morning and continued the preparations until they were completely done

After a few hours, the visitors came. Most of the visitors are nobles fron different places, some of them have children on axle's age

At axle's bedroom, siah is helping axle at fixing his clothes until zach came inside. He was wearing a formal clothes befitting indeed for a king

They were about to go when zach noticed siah's outfit, it was formal yet so simple. He really looked like one of the servants and zach didn't liked it

Zach scrunched his face and pulled him to his bedroom with axle, they entered the room to the walk in closet. Zach is finding his old clothes since the new ones were too big for siah

They didn't have time to ask a servant for siah's clothes so zach decided to use his old ones since it was still looking new

He saw a formal and simple one at the small cabinet and placed it on siah's hands while siah looked at him in bewilderment

"Use it, your clothes are too simple"

Siah was shocked by zach's statement "it looks fine"

"It's not"

Siah looked at him hesitantly and confused but decided to change his outfit anyways

Siah started to unbuttoned his clothes when zach stopped him "change your clothes on the bathroom"

Siah wanted to ask why but did what zach said. It should be normal for them since back then they just change their clothes in front of each other not minding anything as if it was already their routine since birth

Siah is changing on the bathroom while zach left out a sigh and sat down on his bed with axle

After a few minutes siah left the bathroom, already changed. He's pretty, an odd compliment for a boy, zach thought

"Papa looks pretty" axle giggled while complimenting siah, siah only smiled at him shyly. He's not used to compliments, and he'll never be

They were talking when they heard a knock, siah walks towards the door and opened it. He saw the maid that misunderstood them back then

The maid, ella looked at them sheepishly "uhm sir and your highness the celebration will start in a few minutes" she pursed her lips trying hard not to squeal in front of them

Siah nodded at her then smiled "thank you" he went towards axle and carried him as they started to walk

Siah put down axle on his mini throne beside zach and was about to leave when axle tugged his clothes "papa, where are you going?"

Siah smiled and pointed towards the veranda not so far from them "ill go there to get some fresh air. After giving your speech, welcomes and getting your gifts you can go there"

Axle nodded at him so siah sighed in relief and was about to leave again when zach held his wrist

"Your highness?" Siah asked at zach making zach frowned from his question, he was about to correct him but decided to let go and shook his head "nothing"

Siah hesitantly nodded at them and left the place, leaving both axle and zach on their thrones
