When Reina was woken up later that evening, she felt rather refreshed taking the nap that she had. She was given the royal treatment when she woke up, she was bathed by maids and had her hair placed up away from her neck. Afterwards she was placed in a gown that was prepared for her that had to be tied in the back for her. Once she was ready with a pair of flats to wear she was escorted by the maids down the steps.

With every step her heart felt like it was going to leap out of it's place, knowing that with every step she'd get closer to her family, closer to knowing just who had been waiting for her this entire time. When they got to the double doors of the dining hall she took a deep breath and nodded her head as she kept her hands together in front of her. She walked in as she saw the Noble family talking amongst one another, she also noted that Xavier had managed to find his way to the estate as well. 

Reina then noted at the other end of the table four people who she didn't know. The nobleman got up and smiled at Reina. "Princess, come in-come in. Meet your elder siblings who have been waiting to meet you."

Reina nodded her head and stepped closer to the elder male only for him to place a hand on her shoulder softly. "Princess Reina, I wish for you to meet your siblings Elias, Justin, Stella and Morgana. In that order they were birthed. Princes and Princesses-I would like for you to formally meet your youngest sister who was stolen from you so many years ago. Princess Reina."

Reina bowed her head as she had been taught by Xavier's mother. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you. I hope that you all still see me as your younger sister even though we have been raised apart from one another."

A male of the four got up before walking up to her making her stiffen as he stared down at her making her feel rather small compared to him. His gaze soon soften before he pulled her into a tight hug. "Baby sister, its so good to finally see you again! Mother and father didn't have the heart to see an imposter. But I can just tell you are truly our baby sister. Do you have the necklace I gave you when you were an infant?" The male asked as he placed his hands on her upper arms

She nodded her head. "I do...I keep it with me always. It keeps me going, knowing that I had family out there...somewhere." She said before she pulled the necklace out of where it was hidden around her neck

He placed his hand over the emblem of their family. "Good it fits now. As the eldest of all of us, it is my job to figure out if I were to die who'd take the throne, this necklace ensures that if I die you are the one who will take the throne in my stead not Justin, Stella or Morgana."

Her purple eyes widened "R-Really?! B-But why would you chose me of all people?"

"It is rather known that you are the strongest of the royal children. You are the fifth child of the king and queen. It has been said that if the king and queen have five children the power that should have gone to the four before the fifth would go straight to the fifth. You were chosen to protect this kingdom little sister and from what we've heard from Count Victor, you've done a hell of a good job of doing so." He said with a smile

"Oh...I...I see. Am I going to be expected to have a counter part any time soon?"

"Goodness no! Not until you are of the age of twenty five. You are twenty one right now dearest sister. You have years to come before you are required to have a man at your side. Tomorrow we will be leaving out,  you must see our parents. You must make yourself known to them to officially get your title back as princess Reina."

Reina nodded her head "Alright then, I will do so." 

"She is so formal and stiff like who the hell taught her to be like that?" A female asked from the other end of the table.

"No doubt Miss Amy taught her how to act-which you and morgana lack. Reina is perfect just the way she is." The other male said getting up before he smiled at Reina "Little sister, it's a pleasure to meet you finally after so long. May I hug you?"

Reina nodded her head quickly before she rushed over towards her brother and gave him a big tight hug. "It's good to have my family back in my life after so long!"

The male hugged her back and shut his eyes. "I can defiently agree with those words little sister. You have been missed for so long. So many years we haven't had with you, so many years gone because of some stupid thief taking off with you. You will be guarded well from here on out."

Reina pushed away from her elder brother. "I can take care of myself, I'm not weak and helpless." She said seriously

"Tch, you are a princess, you need to be guarded." One of the females said seriously

"fine, then I will have someone who I trust guard me from here on out. I do not want anyone who will look down upon me for I am." Reina said as she placed her hand on her chest where her heart was

"No one will look down upon you, you are a princess. It is uncouth for a princess to fight." Elias said shaking his head

"Yet our family knows magic? Yet our family is known as a strong body? What sense does it make for us to have such power and not use it to help those around us? I may be princess by blood but I was raised as a low class orphan. I do not follow the same rules as the four of you and you cannot force me to follow such idiotic ruling." Reina said shaking her head
