Gallahan, Claude and Regis heading to a private room.

Guests: What are they going to talk about? Business? Oh! Proposal for union through marriage?

The conversation

Claude: Athanasia stopped my brother from usupping the throne and even convinced the two of us to make peace. She is an excellent ruler, the whole kingdom adores her.

Regis: Jubelian made powerful alliances and finally put the Hessen in their place. She has matured a lot and is getting stronger.

Gallahan: Flore is increasingly influential in the family and society. Oh! She helped my sister expose her unfaithful husband.

Gallahan: Oh, our girls have grown and achieved so much. But sometimes I see them as babies.

Claudio: Hmph. Athanasia is still a baby, just smart.

Regis: Jubelian is all grown up and stronger now, but to me, she will always be my baby.

....

Single parents with amazing daughters, any surprises on what the main topic of conversation will be?

Trio Gallahan, Regis and Claude as babysitters.

Claude - Reserved Observer

Definition of the word Observe.

Keep an eye on children like an eagle, but let them do what they want.

Let them eat all the sweets and treats they can.

It doesn't interact much. Hearing what they say, but barely responding.

Basically, treating children like treating Athanasia, only without the affection he reserves for her.

Jubellian and Florentia find him scary at first, but then they get used to it and even start to like him a little.

Regis – Passive-Participating Observer

He also has a watchful but unobtrusive eye.

Let them eat sweets and treats at will.

More willing to talk and not just listen.

Show them your pets and patiently answer all questions.

Athanasia and Florentia like him more quickly, especially when he lets them play freely with their pets.

Gallahan – Active Participant

Very concerned about children getting hurt in some way.

Interacts a lot.

Join in the fun.

Draw with them and teach them how to draw better.

Attentive listener and also talking.

Allowing her to eat sweets and treats at will, he even proposed an impromptu picnic.

A perfect nanny, Atanasia and Jubellian love him.

Modern universe where instead of The Single Parent Trio it's The Big Brother Trio.

Claude, Gallahan and Regis are close in age - sixteen to seventeen - and attend the same school, but they don't speak to each other and don't even care about knowing each other's last names (Gallahan is the only one who knows why there are so many bad rumors about Claude and Regis...because of their cold and indifferent personalities). They don't speak all year, until the girls are on the scene.

Florentia, Athanasia and Jubelian are very cute children, but friendless because of their shyness. Until one day, Jubelian defends Florentia and Athanasia from some bullies and they become inseparable friends. They are talking in the schoolyard waiting for their brothers to arrive.

Gallahan is the first, he quickly falls in love with his little sister's new friends, as well as being very grateful to Jubelian for defending her. Being the angel that he is, he lets Florentia play more with her new friends until Claude and Regis arrive, which won't be long.

Regis is the second to arrive, surprised by the scene of Jubelian playing happily with other children, but immediately happy to see his little sister so happy. He greets Gallahan and thanks him for keeping an eye on the girls and when he hears about the event he quickly congratulates Jubelian and after letting her play some more they both head home.

Gallahan wanted to go too, the hours ticking by, but no one has come to Atanasia yet and he can't be at peace with the idea of ​​leaving her alone. Then Claude finally arrives, dirty, bruised and grumpy. He ignores Gallahan and calling Athanasia to himself, they both go home. Gallahan doesn't understand anything and is worried for a moment, but ends up letting it go and finally he and Flore go home.

This is repeated until it becomes a routine. It takes time, however, for the friendship to blossom and solidify between Claude, Regis, and Gallahan, it takes even longer for the three of them to adjust to each other's personalities, but they arrive eventually and are now known at the school as The Great Trio Brothers Old.

Gallahan:* confessing at some point to Claude and Regis that he has doubts about him being a good father to Florentia*: 😣

Claude and Regis dealing with the guilt and regret of playing a role in Athanasia and Jubellian's death:* Excuse me bitch 😡

I can only imagine that at first they would be very indignant and understandable later on.

[joeyleesblog]

Gallahan *panting*: Claude!

Claude *pretends he didn't hear anything*

Gallahan *whimpers*: Claude, please. I-I need a favor, it's urgent! Please!

Claude *sighs deeply, already knowing the favor*: Felix.

Felix *promptly*: Yes, Your Majesty.

Claude *indifferent*: Tell Atanasia that Florentia is staying with us today.

Felix *watches and walks away*

Gallahan *happy*: Thank you so much, Claude!

Claude: Hmm.

...

Claude is not a babysitter, he makes Lily and Felix do this job.😆 But he really doesn't mind putting Florentia or Jubelian in his care when asked.

Initially when I thought of the Single Parents\Friends Trio, with Claude, Gallahan and Regis, I imagined how Gallahan would be the peacemaker between Claude and Regis, as they both have similar personalities and don't hesitate to be nasty if they don't feel like talking and for other reasons.

In the past, Claude and Regis' parenting was not the best and they both played a role in the deaths of their daughters, both directly and indirectly. Yes, they had their reasons, redemption and forgiveness, but the consequence remains and they will always have to live with it.

As they share the same guilt and regret, there would be mutual understanding and a deeper bond between Claude and Regis, but also a recurring struggle. Regis loved and appreciated Jubellian from the start, Claude hated and despised Athanasia while still in Diana's womb and found her guilty of her death.

Regis would attack Claude for his unfair and atrocious actions towards Athanasia in the past, Claude would respond by saying that Jubellian stabbed himself thinking that this is what her father wanted and that she was not loved, that he was no better than Claude. And the discussion goes on.

In the end, both know they don't have the right and morals to judge the other, both make mistakes, fail and fight to be better. In the end, Gallahan is the best of the three.

Claude and Gallahan with wounds all over their bodies.

Regis *gloomy*: What happened?

Gallahan *scared and embarrassed*: II... it's just that they... me, me.

Claude *impassive*: His idiot brothers beat him and me for trying to beat them.

Gallahan *blushing*: Claude! H-ah, Regis, f-it was my fault, I threw my book at them and ended up hitting Viese.

Claude *furious*: Because they were being idiots! We were in the library when those idiots came and started insulting us, but we ignored it, so Viese…talked about Anastacius and I was about to hit him when Gallahan threw the book at him. That idiot went to Gallahan but I knocked him down, we both started fighting on the floor, Gallahan tried to help me but Laurels held him against the wall. I managed to beat the idiot Viese and went to help Gallahan, but that crook Viese grabbed my heel causing me to fall and started hitting me, so Gallahan managed to kick Laurels and knock Viese off me and we ran.

Regis *deadly serious*

Gallahan *swallowing his nervousness dry*

Claude *angry*

Regis *suddenly smiling and patting their heads*: You two did such a good job dealing with those useless ones, I'm so proud.

Gallahan *surprised and red with embarrassment.*

Claude *smiling haughtily*

Regis *getting serious again*: Now go tend to your wounds while I take out the trash. *Leaving.*

Gallahan *worried knowing what trash it was*: R-Regis, no! Wait!

Claude *pulling Gallahan and ignoring his pleas to stop Regis.*

*At the Lombardi Mansion*

Viese *mad with rage*: Argh, that useless Gallahan and his bastard friend! They will pay for their offenses! When Gallahan comes back without that little friend I want to see if he gets arrogant again!

Laurels *nodding*

*suddenly loud sound*

Viese*confused*: Hey, what...

*Regis bursts into the room, knocking the wall down with one punch.*

Amazed Viese and Laurels: What the hell!?
