Almost 3 weeks later ...

The Palace Steward is back and I serving 2 out of 3 weeks of my sentence. The little babies have grown a lot over the 3 weeks. Her Majesty has yet to decide whether 三太子 and 三太子妃 is to be migrating.

Babies after 1 week:

Babies after 2 weeks plus

Babies with their loving parents

Case of a hobbit dwarf hamster again. Pray for its survival.

Her Majesty, 太皇太后 has decided. 三太子 and 三太子妃 will continue with their journey to take over the other kingdom. Their 4 children will be under Emperor III's custody and they will be heir to the Emerald Throne. It is a painful decision to separate the family but rules are rules. Everyone has to follow Her Majesty's decision. His Majesty, the Emperor III and his wife, the Empress promised that they will take good care of the 4 children and groom them like their own.

As the Palace Steward, I will have to see to the necessary arrangements for 三太子 and 三太子妃's migration and the new residence of the 4 children. The Emperor III is the 真命天子, 天明所归。He is meant to be the Emperor of the Emerald Throne as his father was the Crown Prince before he passed away. Thus Her Majesty was unable to arrange 三太子 take over his throne after he has succeeded it.
