Natalia POV


I was standing on the balcony staring at the stars. I was trying to process everything what was revealed. I can't say I was surprised or shocked but I know one thing for sure, I'm caught in middle of something I never knew happened. It really hard to process this much information. I don't know how long I was standing here but I lost track of time until I heard.

"How many Stars did you count", he said, And I looked to my side and saw Xavier standing next to me and looking up at the stars.

"You know I want to be alone for some time", I told him but politely.

"Not for three hours", he said, now that was a news I was not out here for this long I think.

"I lost the track of time", I told him and looked up at the stars.

"Sometimes talking out your doubt can help you think clear", he said.

"I know but I don't know where to start", I said which was true and I'm confused which part should I talk first.

"The question that can solve your biggest confusion", he said.

"You are right, I think that you are the best person to help me out a bit then", I said looking at him.

"Sure, let's sit down first", he told me. I sat down on a chair and he put a blanket on me.

"I didn't know that we belong to royal families", I said and paused but after he didn't said anything I continued," our families were royal and we hold long history, but father never told us anything, I don't know why".

"He just want you guys to have a normal life away from everything", he said.

"Maybe he did, but uncle told you all about your history", I asked him.

"No he didn't told us, we accidentally found about that", he told me.

"Really, how did that happened", I asked.

"One day we were playing hide and seek on our lake house and I thought it would be great idea to hide in the attic and dad always told us not to go there but I thought no one would find out, that's when I saw some old albums and that to decorated with gems and a golden frame", he said and pause," out of curiosity I opened it and saw many photos of my father and grandparents I don't know how but my siblings found me and we all search for more albums, that's when we found a little chest which have many frames of our royal family heritage", he told me.

"But how did you guys asked about everything", I asked him.

" We took some items with us and directly went to our parents, they were shocked after seeing us but they told us everything", he said.

"What was your reaction", I asked him after he didn't speak for few minutes.

"I don't know what to think and how to react, my grandparents always come to meet us but we never thought they were king and queen, I felt betrayed and hurt by my parents and grandparents but what can anyone expect from an eight year old boy", he said with a smile," we all were not happy after knowing dad hid something big from us but after a couple of days mom talked with us. And explained why dad never said anything, he wanted us to live a happy and stress free life, away from royal family duties. We then come to know dad was raised with many obligation and different kind of rules he wanted us to have a simple childhood".

"When he went away for studies, he met mom there and they started seeing each other after some time. Mom never knew about the royal family and dad loved the freedom but he didn't know what to do next, so he called your father because your grandparents stayed away from royal family but close with our family, and our dad's grew up together, your father suggested to talk with mom and tell Her everything then ask what she wants, she denied the facts at first but then after some ups and downs, they finally accepted everything but she wanted to live her life here away from Royalty and dad agreed to it, so they decided to marry. Then dad asked our grandparents to live away and grow his family away from them to give us a simple childhood but on conditions that he will return after we all turn Twenty", he finished.

"So uncle lives with your grandparents then", I asked.

"Not exactly, Grandfather used to visit us when we were kids and he saw how amazing and free we used to live and how happy we were so he decided to make a major change in the ruling of his nation. He decided to follow democratic rules for our nation for a couple of years and see what happened, and surprisingly everything became more systematic and best thing my grandparents got more time for themselves, so they decided to make his decision permanent, he is still the king that didn't change. We are still the royal family but now he is working with the other leaders who are managing everything. But still one thing didn't change that without my grandfather's permission no one can take major decisions for our people or the nation", he explained.

"So you are a prince then", I asked after a pause.

"Yes and you are a princess", he said and I laughed a bit.

"Don't remind me that I'm still trying to process everything", I said.

"Take your time to understand everything and ask whatever you want to know ", he said.

"You are right, I think I just need time to digest so much information", I said and looked up at the sky.

"We should head back inside its getting late", he said and stood up. I nodded my head and he took my hand to pull me up.

"Thank you for coming here and talk with me", I told him as we walk side by side.

"I'll always come after you whenever you need me", he said.

"I think I should sleep now, it's getting late", I said and went to my room and he left for his after wishing me good night.

I don't know what is going to happened from here but I'm ready to know more about everything and what everyone is trying to hide. My questions are not answered yet but I know I can count on people around me.
