You all remember the amazing Empress Vu, yes? And her delivery of twins in the last rotation.

Princess Setsuna is doing her parents proud by excelling in school.

Also, I broke my self-imposed rules of no CC for this challenge because Maxis didn't make any Asian-themed outfits for children (or the elderly, but we'll hit that nail on the head when the time comes). Hakamas and Kimonos for all the boys and girls!

They're pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.

Anyways, Megeru hits the books in order to keep up with his overachieving sister.

While the twins, Teruo and Tetsuo, have their birthdays!

Well hi there, handsome. I see you peeking at me. Taking after your father, eh?

Hurray one of his children actually looks like him! Thank you, Tetsuo.

Oh no! I've fallen down that slippery slope of downloading CC! This awesome scroll in a box serves as a means of communication!

It is added to the households other scrolls.

Setsuna and Megeru's childhood isn't all study study, they do get time to play.

The future leaders of the Silk Road. Hnnnng! <3

A few days into the week and Lazlo tops Science! Hurray, Harroo.

With his days free he lumbers over his brood like a gulper fish.

They bond over the activity table. Quite handy for building relationships, actually. Usually none of my sibling's have a relationship with one another until they're at least children.

I don't remember if Vivien Cho was given a dragonfruit bouquet or not, but here! Have one, anyway! We've got plenty at the palace.

Megeru continues to be the friendliest, most charming and gregarious prince on the planet!

And with a house full on men, Crystal and Setsuna take the afternoon to mother-daughter bond.

Setsuna finds a boy who will chase her.

And plays in the garden flowers.

And catches fish!

While Empress Vu socializes with the townspeople.

Setsuna runs into little Lin Wan.

And Megeru hugs one of his many besties, Peizhi!

"Why yes! We'd love to come to Princess Setsuna and the Twins birthday party this Friday!"

Look at those guys in the back all like 'why aren't we invited? :('

For indeed it is Friday and it is many a royal birthdays today!

Twirly twirly.

Oh. Oh my. Setsuna. You're quite lovely.

Teruo... not so much. >_>

Ah yes. The crown. The finishing touch. Augh, I can't stand it! She's beatiful!

Tetsuo is the one who get's all the attention, however, and causes a traffic jam leading to the now useless nursery room.

The traffic jam continued for the rest of the party.

And then someone in that traffic jam farted and ruined the entire party for everyone! Look at all the red! Red party memories for all! Way to go, Mystery Farter!

Baths commenced as soon as the party was over.

To take their minds off the travesty that was their big birthday bash, the imperial family took a trip to the gardens.

Where Princess Setsuna got new memories of being cursed with an angry swarm of bees.

Poor family. It's not easy being the ruling power of a Pan-Asian Imperial Territory. And to end the chapter, Lazlo has reached elderlihood. The sands of time are beginning to take their tolls.

Anyways, YES! Picking up the RKC! Thanks for reading! ^ ^
