"Get over it sonic." Knuckles said. " Besides taking things slowly has advantages." He smiled.

Sonic just ignored his brother and continued on to the library. Finally, they arrived. Waiting for them was their mother. Regarded by just about everyone as the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, she had lovely purple fur, thick, luxurious purple hair, beautiful honey-brown eyes and a lithe figure similar to Sally's. The queen looked at her sons. "Ah, the young princes. Knuckles, thank you for bringing Sonic here. I hope he wasn't too much trouble," she said with a slight chuckle.

" You realize this is sonic we're talking about, he's nothing but trouble. But if he wasn't I wouldn't be here." The echidna smirked. Shadow had hugged his mom tightly as he looked at his brother. "What do you mean Knuckles?" The 7 year old asked. Knuckles chuckled as he recounted his back story to the youngster. "Wow.." He said in awe, turning to sonic. "so I guess Knuckles is always saving you huh." Shadow said.

Aleena looked at her sons. "All right, you three. That's enough. Now, let us begin the lesson," she said. Sonic frowned. "I'm so thrilled," he said sarcastically. Aleena glared at him. "Take your seat, young man," she said. Sonic did so, ignoring his brothers' smirks.

"So Mom, do you need us?" Shadow asked, referring to him and kuckles as the little hedgehog hugged his mom affectionately.

Aleena nodded. "Yes, especially you, Shadow. I want you to learn to be a proper prince," she said. She then looked at Knuckles. "As for you, I want you to help me keep an eye on them," she said.

[Sixshot1988]

"What do you mean mom?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

[KingKovu44]

Aleena smiled sweetly. "I want you to know everything that you need to know to be a leader within the kingdom. With the right education, you could even go on to be on to be one of the governors in one of the provinces," she stated.

" I thought I was already learning that from Uncle Chuck?" He said.

[KingKovu44]

Aleena nodded. "You are, but as your mother, it's my job to teach you everything that a prince must know. You will be learning from Uncle Chuck, myself, Aunt Hana, and, most of all, your father," she said.
