SkunkyArt | piku-chan — Silly Little Monarchs

Eight years have passed, and the Royal family now have a beloved prince and princess. Hugo Gerald Agreste, 6-7 years old, and Emma Maylis Agreste, 4 years old. The Lahiffe family have their twins, Erwan (left) and Ethan (right), who are 6 years old.

Hugo and Emma have a habit of distracting each other and running off to do whatever is fun. Marinette blames this particular habit on Adrien. It’s gets worse when the Lahiffe twins are in the picture.

Emma is obsessed with fairies so she adores fairy tales and likes being called nicknames with “fairy” attached to them. The surprise Hugo wants to show Emma is indeed a fairy. He has seen glimpses of a cute flying purple figure (*wink*Noorooo*wink*) around the palace.

Hugo (obviously) inherits all of his father’s toys so Adrien takes every chance to relive all of his childhood. (One Piece reference cos I’m a big fan. I missed my chance in that one flashback arc.) Unlike Adrien, Hugo loves things related to the jungle. He likes to think of himself fierce like a tiger so that quickly became his nickname.

Marinette sewed doll plushies for Emma. As you can see, she made Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Tikki. No Plagg cos Mari doesn’t know what he looks like and Adrien couldn’t remember him clearly when Mari started making the doll plushies. Plagg may or may not have pulled a few pranks cos he felt a little left out. During bedtime, whenever Marinette or Adrien would run out of stories to read they would use the Ladybug and Chat Noir plushies and improvise with a new villain each time.

For bonding time, sometimes Marinette teaches her children how to bake while Adrien teaches them gardening and flower language. (Btw, the flowers Adrien are holding are supposed to be carnations but i drew them too big haha. Let’s just say the royal gardens have a special variety of large carnations.)

Whenever Marinette or Adrien are away or too busy, Gabriel helps keep Emma and Hugo entertained, usually with hide and seek. They make it a contest to see who could make Grandpa Gabe give up in finding them. So far, neither child has been successful.

Ethan and Erwan inherited their father’s love for music. However, Ethan is more skilled with his hands while Erwan loves using his vocal cords. (The song they’re singing is from Téir Abhaile Riú by Celtic woman. I’ll always be grateful for such a wonderful festival song recommendation.)
