Knocking softly on the door, Lexzandra waits for it to open, a small strawberry cake balanced carefully in her hands.
The anticipation is palpable, her heart fluttering with the hope of bringing joy to Auden.
When the double doors finally swing open, Auden's nanny greets her with a look of surprise; it's not often the princess visits so early in the morning.
The nanny, dressed in her usual crisp uniform, smiles understandingly at the sight of the cake and steps aside to let Lexzandra in, her gesture warm and inviting.
Inside, Auden sits sleepily on his bed, his eyes half-open and a pout on his lips.
His hair is a tousled mess, making him look even younger, the morning light catching on his disheveled locks.
"Happy birthday!" Lexzandra singsongs as she steps closer, her voice filled with warmth and cheer. The maids join in a soft chorus, their harmonious voices filling the room with a gentle melody.
