Royal SBI ANGST

| There was someone in his castle. Now usually that wouldn’t be a problem but Phil just knew this person didn’t have good intentions, If not by the fact that it was midnight and all the staff had went home for the night minus some guards who were currently on rotation, Then by the fact they immediately went to the treasury. |

| Before this had happened Phil had heard something deep in the night and decided to investigate after telling his piglin sons Wilbur and Techno what he was doing and flew up to one of the archways to watch who was coming because the guard rotation wouldn’t happen for another seven and a half minutes. |

| Phil had watched as a person- He couldn’t tell their gender or if they were a hybrid or how old they were from his vantage point, Walked into his and his sons treasure room. He’d sighed, Just another person to kill he supposed, He was a good ruler yes but he was also very strict and had no patience or mercy for those who broke his laws. |

| He hopped down from the archway, Slowing his fall with his wings as he knocked on Techno’s door since Wilbur was a heavy sleeper, “Techno.” He murmured quietly as he heard groaning and the sound of the bed straining under his weight before his eldest appeared, “There’s someone in the treasure room.” Phil said simply, Whole he could handle this by himself, He knew Techno would be thrilled to spill some blood even if at gods know what time at night. |

| Techno’s eyes quite literally twinkled as he smiled darkly, Walking over to grab his enchanted netherite axe before heading to the treasure room, Phil trailed after him with his hands behind his back and his wings spread out, He glanced behind him as he saw Wilbur poke his head out of his room, Surprising since the other piglin usually slept like the dead. “What’s going on?” Wilbur whispered. “Tech’s gonna take care of a vermin for us.” Phil said with a smile as Wilbur came over, “Alright.” Wilbur said as they both walked to the treasure room, Following behind Techno. |

| Techno suddenly kicked the door open his axe raised as he looked around for the thief, There was only one way in and one way out for the treasure room so they had this rat cornered and- |

| Wait. |

| “Phil.” Techno murmured as he gestured for his adopted father to come over, As Phil did he realized why Techno hesitated- Their thief- Was a child. A child that immediately made Phil’s bird brain croon in worry because where was this kid’s parents? Were they just letting their child walk around stealing? Were they alone? And if so were they being fed enough? |

| “Hey there, Mate.” Phil said slowly as he stepped in front of Techno. “What is it that you think you’re doing?” Techno drawled his own instincts getting all grumpy about someone messing with his gold, But they were also curious about this kid,. |
