The Secret Under Coliaria: Episode 1.

"Tari, what are you doing up there?!" Quinnce, my older brother, yelled as I looked up to my sitting on one of the branches of my own apple tree. "The Queen is going to be so mad when she sees you up there!" He shouted once more as I just laughed. "Why do you always call Mother The Queen, we're her kids, not her servants. And it's if she sees me up." I reply, climbing down onto the green grass. "You know Mother doesn't like us outside with supervision. You see how she reacts." Quinnce replied as he grabbed my arm and dragged me toward the entrance out of the garden and back into the castle. As we were walking down the hallway, I see Mother striding toward us. "Where have you two been? I told you and your sisters to be in the War room." She said, looking at the both of us. Once she finally scanned me over she let out a gasp of shock and confusion, "Tarido, what is with all the dirt on your clothes?" She exclaimed as she tried to dust some mud stains off my cheek. She sighed after she couldn't get it off, frowning in disappointment before she spoke. "Quinnce, you go ahead to the War room, I need to get your brother to the bathing room." Quinnce nodded and went off on his way to the War room, meanwhile Mother takes me to the bathing room where the maids are already preparing a bath. "Make sure to work fast and put him in the finest threads." Mother said as I moved behind the changing wall, taking off my threads and getting into the tub. Mother stood outside as the maids washed away at me, one washing my hair and drying it while the other washes down my body. After they were finished, the one who had been washing my hair handed me a dry towel and they both left. I got out of the tub and dried off, putting on a royal blue button up and black pants with shiny shoes. After I was done I came out of the bathing room. "Ah, you look much better without all the dirt my darling. Now, let's hurry, your father is expecting us." She said as she held my hand, leading us to the War room where my Father, Quinnce, my older brother, Brina, my twin sister, and Tiana, my baby sister, are already seated on the side of the map table, the other side is where the Lieutenant and a few of the Royal guards are seated. Mother took a seat next to Father as I took a seat next to Brina. "Now that everyone is here, let us begin the meeting." Father said in his deep, unwavering voice as the Lieutenant started to explain the battle plans. During the meeting, I spot a possible lose in the battle. "Father." I whisper as I look toward him."Yes son?" He asked as he held a hand up to for the Lieutenant to stop talking. "There's an error. If I may, I can show a way with a definite win." I answered back, and Father nodded. I stood up. "If we put the newest troops in the first wave they'll be outnumbered in skill and combat. But if we put our more edvanced soldiers along with them, the Izona's will have no choice but to retreat," I started pointing to the wooden figures that we use as the soldiers. "And it would be better if we drew them somewhere secluded instead of out in the open. Like a mountain range, a valley, maybe even a canyon. That way we can still their forces and take their waves out faster." I finished, pointing to a canyon on the mapped table. My Father looked impressed, which only happened when something truly shocking or genius happened. The Lieutnant and his soldiers looked quite shocked. "You heard my son. Put the skilled soldiers with the first wave and back them into a secluded space. And if this plan does work, my second born will be the genius to our victory." He said as his hand rested on my shoulder. "Of course sir." The Lieutenant nodded and exitted the room, the guards falling suite. "That was a great comment son. With your ideas we could win this 200 year battle, you would be the hero of Coliaria, son." He commented with a smile as my Mother stood strong beside him, smiling brightly. I felt proud, and happy to having a chance to end to the War that has gone on for over 10 decades. Later into the day, while I am having a walk to calm myself and think about the plan I gave in War room. As I am peacefully walking the halls, intending to head to the library to read some books, I saw the Mother and Father's bedroom door was slightly cracked, and a light glimpsed out into the hall. I walked closer, peeking into the room and seeing Mother and Father talking lowly, clearly about something important. "Tarido just gave us the key to winning my dear, how can this not be amazing?" Father whispered to her. "The Izona's know what they want, they won't because of some plan. Yes, his plan was amazing, but it won't stop them from revealing out secret. The Kingdom could not handle it." She whispered back, a frown going across her face as they quietly argued back and forth. I was confused. "If it was so important, why would they not tell Quinnce, he's going to be the heir soon."
