The prince, now in his twenties, is seated on a grand chair, but his posture is relaxed, almost unguarded. His expression is a mix of pride and warmth, but there's a shadow of sorrow in his eyes. In his arms, he cradles a newborn baby, swaddled in soft, white blankets. The infant's tiny features are delicate, her eyes closed as she sleeps peacefully against the prince’s chest. > > At the prince's side, a two-year-old girl stands, holding onto the arm of the chair with one small hand while clutching a simple wooden toy in the other. The way the prince looks at her is a mixture of love and regret. > > Behind the trio, the background is softly blurred, suggesting a private setting. - all the daughters in the garden above - hands the necklace to Baz - Baz recognizes without a doubt the 2 year old in the 3rd locket - more necklace made of diamond - some delerium was found - there is a letter > Johann Eisner, Royal Steward > > Please excuse the haste of this missive, and the messenger who bears it.
