"...Next is a portrait directly recreating the time we discovered a hidden ruin in the mountains bordering Loch Loud!" Lochland proudly explained, gesturing at another painting hanging on the walls lining the hallway they were walking down.

"Ah, good times... Very wonderful memories!" Lynnie smiled fondly at the various portraits.

The tour had been going on for about over an hour now, and Bobby had been paying close attention... Ronnie Anne on the other hand had pretty much zoned out, and was waiting for it to end.

She had never really been a big fan of history tours in general, and this wasn't much different. It didn't help that mid-way through the tour, the present day Louds had split off from the group and went to some other part of the castle Ronnie Anne had yet to see. Now the tour was even more awkward than before.

"So... The Louds are really descended from royalty?" Bobby asked for clarification, still surprised.

"Yes! Directly from our bloodline!" Lochland confirmed, "We ended up being "exiled" from here long ago back when we still were among the living. But now in the present day, our descendants returned back to our homeland here in Loch Loud!"

"Wow... I can't believe I've been dating a princess this whole time!" Bobby remarked, stunned by the revelation.

"What are your thoughts on all this, Ms. Anne?" Lorraine questioned, turning to the Hispanic tomboy.

"Huh? Oh, yeah yeah... Paintings are nice." Ronnie Anne responded, pretending like she hadn't been zoned out.

Lorraine didn't acknowledge the fact Ronnie Anne clearly wasn't listening, and continued with the tour; gesturing at yet another painting as she did.

"And this of course was the time we rode our pet dragon, Lolo, across the ocean to venture forth to-"

"Sorry, your pet WHAT now?!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed, her attention finally back to full. Her older brother was just as shocked.

"Did you say dragon?!" Bobby also exclaimed, shocked and a bit intimidated by the idea of a real dragon.

"Ah yes, our pet dragon!" Lochland casually repeated on his older sister's behalf, "The sadly late mother of the current Loud Family dragon, Lela. She resides in the cave near the castle grounds."

"And you didn't think about saying that FIRST?!" Bobby shouted in exasperation, feeling suddenly nervous to be so close to a dragon's cave.

"You didn't ask." Lanelle pointed out, with a shrug.

"WHEN would we have even asked that during all this?!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed, "I didn't even think dragons were a real thing!"

"Oh... Well they are!" Lolette confirmed, "Still surprised that dragons are thought to be myths by people nowadays."

"Mind if we see the dragon? I gotta see that kind of thing with my own eyes!" Ronnie Anne requested.

"At the moment, she isn't here." Lochland replied, "Lela is currently helping a handful of our descendants move their things from their old home to here."

"Aw, that's a shame..." Bobby remarked, feigning disappointment. In reality, he was happy that a possible encounter with the dragon they were talking about was going to be delayed.
