Zacharius stirred, slowly emerging from sleep. His eyes fluttered open, meeting the sight of a lavish bed, its golden silk sheets shimmering with intricate embroidery.
Little Zacharius
Oh, of course...the Imperial Palace. I remember now.
Soft sunlight spilled into the chamber, casting a gentle glow over the polished marble floor. Zach's gaze drifted around the room, landing on a painting hanging on the wall. The painting depicted a beautiful woman with flowing red hair, cradling two young children who seemed to be hers.
Little Zacharius
(That must be...what was it again? Ah, yes, brother Elias and the other Prince.)
Little Elias
*Knocks on the door*
"Zacharius, Are you awake yet?"
Little Zacharius
*Perks up*
"Yes, brother Elias! I'm awake. Please come in."
Little Elias
*Strides in, carrying a tray with a glass of water and a bowl filled with a mysterious golden liquid*
"Are you feeling better? I’ve had some ambrosia prepared for you, made with ingredients freshly picked from our Royal Garden!"
Little Zacharius
*Tilts his head: Cuteness Overload*
"What's 'amberoze'?"
Little Elias
*Blushes for a moment but then regains his composure. Clears his throat and averts his gaze*
"Ahem...i-it's ambrosia. not 'amberoze'. You'll find out what it is soon."
Little Elias
*Takes a seat on the edge of the bed*
Open your mouth.
