The boy turns around once he hears Ryan's name. His eyes lit up as he smiles, "Ryan?"

Ryan squints his eyes as he looks at the boy. He smiles slightly, "Justin?"

Justin runs over to him in excitement and Ryan does the same and they meet in the middle and hug each other tightly while squealing like little maidens.

They pull apart and Ryan speaks, his voice full of excitement, "Justin it's been forever since I've last saw you!"

"Hasn't it?" Justin agrees enthusiastically "I'm more than thrilled seeing you!"

"Oh, we have to catch up with each other," Ryan says eagerly. "There's so much I need to tell you."

"Agreed," Justin replies with a big grin. "There is so much I need to fill you in on."

King Fredrick clears his throat loudly and the two boys turns to face him. "Now Ryan, we did not teach you proper royal etiquette to just ignore King Ulysses like that."

King Ulysses gives a light chuckle, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "No King Fredrick, it's alright. The boys haven't seen each other since they were little lads, it's fine by me."

Ryan felt embarrassed, his cheeks turning red. He walks up to King Fredrick "My apologies your majesty," he bows respectfully and raises himself back up. Everyone in the room laughs heartily.

Their butler, Theodore, approaches the royals, his posture straight and expression formal. "Your Majesty, your sister has arrived," he announces with a slight bow.

Queen Eleanor claps her hands quickly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She squeals, "Oh joy! Bring her inside." She picks up her dress slightly so she can move faster and follows Theodore to the grand doors.

The guards open the large, ornate doors with a smooth motion. Standing outside is Meyrel, who turns around and smiles widely when she sees her sister. "Ellie!" she exclaims, her voice filled with happiness.

"Meyrel!" Eleanor returns with the same energy, rushing forward to greet her. She wraps her sister in a warm embrace. "Ugh, it's so good to see you again," she says, holding her tightly.

"Agreed, I cannot wait to talk with you again," Meyrel says as they enter the castle, her voice filled with enthusiasm. They walk over to where the others gather, and she beams joyfully. "And I am most pleased to see my nephew and nieces!"

She pulls the three children together into a tight hug, squeezing them affectionately. They groan together in unison, their faces scrunched up but smiling.

The Queen laughs, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Meyrel dear, you're suffocating them," she says with humorous concern.

Meyrel quickly releases them, looking a bit sheepish. "Oh, I am sorry. It's just that I have not seen you three in so long." She stands up straight and looks over at King Ulysses and Justin. "And who are these two?" she asks with a warm smile.
