No place for the fake princess.... and yet here I am...

Somehow... I am nearvous...

I freaked out and ran so fast as I could searching for Fenrir and I was quite in a hurry as well as panicked that I at some point didn't know where I ended up. Maybe I took a wrong turn or it was a left istead of a right, maybe I was at the right place but something didn't seem right here. It felt wrong being here.

Me: FENRIR!

My voice was shaking as I ran around until I managed to fall to the ground.

Rexion: Philomel! Are you alright?

Me: Rexion?

Rexion: You seem quite out of it, what's wrong?

Me: Fenrir... did you see him?

Rexion: No but we can find him.

Me: Please! We have to find him.

Rexion: We will. Let me just pick you up.

Me: I am alright, but Fenrir!

I didn't notice that I scrapped my knees and that my skirt was ripped. Anyways, Rexion picked me up and decided to rush with me in his arm to the infirmary station of this castle to put me down. Right there, I felt something was wrong. Fenrir should have come the moment he felt my pain but he was not here at all.

Where is he?

Did something happen?

I need someone to search for him and fast!

Something fast... AH!

Me: Robbing, hear my call and come to my aid. I need your fast wings and your keen eyes. 

It was a moment of not thinking at all. I was there in the room together with Rexion alone. The one guy who was supposed to be here in case something happened was not here which meant something else was happening but that was not the point right now. Before my very brothers eyes I had closed my own and overlapped my hands as if I was hiding something and then opened them to have a small thunderbird in my hand. It was a small sparrow like creature which was way faster than any bird that could fly.

Robbin: You called Master?

Me: Find Fenrir please... make sure he is alright!

Robbin: As you wish, Master.

Without much of a word, the bird immediately started flying off and broke through the window with a small bang. It didn't destroy the window though, it just resonated with it to pass through it. This was how thunderbirds were, their speed was something that nothing could stop at all.

Rexion: Philomel?.....

Me: .... Rexion?

Rexion: How did you...

Me: Don't tell tell Luguin about this.

Rexion: How did... Philomel, do you know how to use magic?

Me: Just summoning... I can just do these kind of things.

Rexion: These? That is more than anyone can do! Philomel, why are you hiding this?

Me: I... it's not the time now..

Rexion: Are you alright?

Me: No... I need to find Fenrir.

Rexion: What even happened?

Me: Elincia... she... I... *sigh* can you please not say anything about this to anyone? Our secret! Promise!

Rexion: Alright but you will tell the others one day, right?

Me: Yeah... now is not the time.

Rexion: Alright, I promise.

Me: .... 

Rexion: Soo what is with Elincia?

Me: She is not who she is.

Rexion: What do you mean? She is the kings daughter.

Me: Biologically speaking yes... but she is just acting! 

Rexion: Calm down and tell me what happened.

Since it was just us and I didn't really make much sense, there was not really anything else than me explaining this whole situation to him. Everything from how I remember my story and every single person as well as how I knew about my father and how to get there. I told him everything and oh boy did it felt right to do so. However I also made my brother promise me to never tell anyone about what I told him. In the end he was looking at me quite speechless.

Rexion: If that is true... then that means you knew how to use magic all along and you were hiding it from us... why?

Me: Why should I trust you and everyone else? No one gave me a reason for that.... so why should I openly tell you my whole life?

Rexion: Hahahah very true but why are you doing it now?

Me: You saw me summon Robin and I need someone to help me ou.

Rexion: Do you trust me enough?

Me: Enough that I know you will help me.

Rexion: Of course I will sister.

He came over to me to sit right at the bed and ruffled my head before hugging me. This felt good and you know what? For the first time I felt like I wasn't alone at all.

Maybe this isn't that bad...

I really like it...

Maybe I can have a normal family here....

Maybe one day I will.

After that short moment he let go of me as the medic came inside and looked over my scrapped knees. As if that was not enough, it seems as if someone did inform his majesty because that person came into the room shortly after as well.

Eustice: You did well Rexion. You may return to your post now.

Rexion: Yes, your majesty.... (whispering) I am here for you.

The last part he whispered so that only us would hear and I could only smile at him and node.

Me: Thank you.
