The Twin’s Tenth Birthday (1)

"Your mother the empress is looking for the both of you." Philip said. "It is your tenth birthday today and you need to prepare for the banquet later."

"Mother is looking for us?" Alphonse replied with surprise.

"Oh no, we are in trouble." Aerith said with a scared expression. "What are we going to do, brother? Our clothes are…" she looked at her brother with worry.

The twins' beautiful clothes are both dirty and soiled with playing in the garden so early in the morning.

"Do not worry, I will fix it once we go back." Alphonse said with a determined look. "Come on, before mother sees us like this." He took his sister's hand and started to run to the direction of the palace.

"Your cousins have arrived as well!" Philip shouted to the twin's direction. "I am sure they are waiting for both of you!"

"Thanks…" Alphonse waved his hand to Philip without looking back.
