So, it's the Drosselmeier Triplets's Birthday.

If you guys don't know, these guys are basically part of the Nutcracker and the Silver Bell, and they were born on the same day:

The eldest out of the triplets is Henry - Magician and Clock Maker, plus he's the smart one of the three brothers. He's married to Mother Ginger.

The second eldest is William - Astronomer and he's also a bit of a drinker. He's also Aurora's father and married to Duchess Elizabeth of the Fay Kingdom.

The youngest is Thomas. He somehow got to be king instead of Henry. He was trained at a young age via military camp, so he applies that stuff to his kids. He's also Saragona's father and he's married to Gypsy Cristine Aries Romanov.

Happy Birthday to the triplets!

At least no one knows the real truth about Thomas
