Meanwhile, back in the dormitory, Lithia gathered her friends to share the headmistress's revelation.

"Guys, I just spoke with my grandmother," Lithia said, her voice tinged with urgency.

The girls looked at her expectantly.

"She wants to speak with us," Lithia continued.

"Why?" Crystal questioned, her curiosity piqued.

"The royal family of Solaria lost their child years ago, and we suspect that Luna might be the missing child. She will probably ask a few questions before coming to a conclusion," Lithia explained. "But we need to keep this information to ourselves for now. We don't want to attract unnecessary attention."

"I understand where she's coming from. This whole thing sounds absurd," Luna sighed, feeling overwhelmed.

Artemisia placed a reassuring hand on Luna's shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll figure this out together, Luna. No matter what, we're here for you."

"Thanks, everyone," Luna said, her voice filled with emotion. "I don't know what I'd do without you all."

The next day, the girls made their way to the headmistress's office, their steps echoing in the quiet hallways of Alphea.

"I wonder why she wants to speak to all of us," Crystal mused aloud. "Isn't this about Luna?"

"Well, it's good that we're all here," Artemisia said with a reassuring smile. "We can support her through this."

"Yeah, we are a team," Carissa added. "We face things together, no matter what."

Luna walked in the center of the group, her friends' support giving her a sense of comfort. She felt a mixture of anxiety and anticipation about what the headmistress might reveal. The idea that she could be the lost princess of Solaria was overwhelming, and she was grateful to have her friends by her side.

As they reached the headmistress's office, Lithia knocked on the door. They heard a faint, "Come in," and entered to find the headmistress seated at her desk, her expression serious but kind.

"Good morning, girls," the headmistress greeted them. "Please, take a seat."

The girls sat down, exchanging anxious glances.

The headmistress folded her hands on the desk and looked at each of them in turn. "Thank you all for coming. I wanted to speak with all of you because this matter concerns not just Luna, but all of you as her close friends."

Crystal frowned slightly. "Is this about the ring Lithia found in Luna's memory?"

"Yes," the headmistress confirmed. "Lithia came to me yesterday saying that you all found a way to access Luna's memories, and in the course of your investigations, you discovered a ring that belongs to the royal family of Solaria."

The girls nodded, their expressions serious.

"This is a very crucial and sensitive matter," the headmistress continued. "If handled carelessly, it could cause a lot of problems." She turned to Luna, her gaze softening. "But before we proceed, I need to ask you a few questions, Luna. Is that okay?"

"Yes, headmistress," Luna replied, nodding.

"Which realm do you come from?" the headmistress asked.

"I'm from Earth," Luna answered truthfully. "I didn't know I was a fairy until I coincidentally met Danielle before coming to Alphea."

The headmistress nodded thoughtfully before continuing. "Do you have parents?"

"Yes, but I was adopted," Luna said.
