Morning come before I know and I'm sitting here having breakfast with everyone, no one is talking about what happened yesterday which is understandable. Breakfast was really quiet and way calm then any other day but you can clearly feel the tension around here. I talked with my brothers earlier and we need answers now, I know everyone need time to process but some thing is still missing. How my grandparents being royals is affecting my current life what connection does it have to do with me.

"Eat up piccolo, we need to solve your doubts today", Xavier whispered in my ear, and I look up and saw his face really close to mine, and I panicked and moved away a bit and look around to see if anyone was looking or not, and luckily no one saw us.

I pull out my phone and texted him to stay quiet and eat then we will talk. He saw the msg and texted me an okay. It's really hard to stay quiet during breakfast but even harder to text from under the table. But grandparents are really strict with table manners which I can see why. They are not exactly strict but this is normal for them as a part of being royals.

After breakfast I told Zack to ask everyone that we want to talk and clear our doubts before we all go back to our work. So now here we all are asking our parents and grandparents what ever we want to know, but Rome is annoying everyone now with his useless questions.

"Rome you have asked enough now let us ask something important", Zack snapped at him finally.

"But I want to", Rome tried to say something but this time Han stopped him this time.

"Enough Rome we have more pressing matters to discuss", Han said and he shut up.

"Now I want to ask everyone here, right now we are really confused with everything you all just told us but dad we want to know what exactly this revelation mean to our situation right now ", Zack said but in a confusing way. I think he is not able to process everything from last night.

"In simple, we want to know how us being in Royal family and the problems we are facing right now are connected", Han asked.

"We think that everything that happened with us from last seven or so years has something to do with the Laskin's", dad said.

"But dad how can you be so sure, those guys didn't showed their face after the war", Han said.

"You are right but", grandma said and then looked at grandfather to explain.

"Your father is telling true, about the same time when our Natalia and Nathan were gone away for higher studies, my sister Dorothy got a visitor which we didn't expect", he said.

"The Laskin's", Han spoke as if he know what grandfather wanted to say.

"Yes, our family never interacted with them after everything but for some reason they showed up", dad told us and we were confused by this.


"And they were not there to just make amends but to demand something really bad", grandma said.

"Yes, Dorothy called us to come and bring your father with us, we thought she wants to meet us but matter was serious and urgent ", grandfather said.

"When we all went there she told us that Laskin's were here and they talked about making amends and she thought maybe leaving history behind is better now after so many years but then the head of there family pulled out some scroll", dad said and stopped.

"Dad what was in it", Zack asked.

"It was a letter that my mother wrote to the king, to fix Dorothy's marriage with his son, that time we managed to cancel the arrangements but now they are demanding to fulfill her promise", grandfather said.

"But it was years ago", Han asked.

"But sometimes people can find many reasons to believe that they have power over everything because they are royals", mom said for the first time.

"So we get it they are some delusional people trying implemented past but for whom", Rome asked.

"No one in our family have a daughter other then", grandma tried to say but was not able to say but I understood.

"It's me, they are talking about", I said and chaos erupt around me, questions were thrown one after another.

"Everyone quiet down and let us explain", dad said I was not looking at anyone but at the floor my mind was just blank.

"My siblings and I we have five kids in total", grandpa said.

"And we are four brothers and a sister which you guys have not seen yet", dad said.

"Wait dad we have two uncle", Rome said as we only remember his two cousins because our father is only child.

"You have not met with Dorothy's kids, they don't leave country much and very busy as we speak", grandma explained.

"And you guys have many other cousins and to a big surprise the only girl in our family right now is my princess", mom told us.

"This is really a confusing", Han comments on this and then continued," so grandpa have two siblings and we only met with one then we have more uncles and aunt which we don't know and we even got some cousins but all are man not a single girl".

"Our family line was always like this only one girl is born, and it happens with every generation", grandpa told us.

"But why now of all the time", Zack asked the question I was also confused about.

"We have an aunt why they didn't asked for her hand in marriage before why now and why me", I asked.

"We don't know for sure, but we have come to a theory that because your aunt is Dorothy's eldest daughter and next queen, they didn't come to demand something like this ", grandma told us.

"They have betrayed us once so after my mother was punished they can't just come and demand anything from Dorothy at any ground. But then when you were born you were away from royal life but have royal blood in you, they think they have rights but Dorothy denied their demand because they hold no ground, but we know they are powerful and to what extent we might not know for sure", grandpa explained.

"But after meeting them everything that is happening around us is directly connected with Laskins that's for sure and we have proof", dad said.

"And now we have to find some solution for this", Zack said, and for a second I know the time just stopped.

How can I become part of something that I never knew of something my great grandmother did which no one knew. I feel like my life is playing temple run I can't walk around calmly because I don't know what obstacles might come my way on the next turn.

________________________________

Hello everyone,
I want to really talk with you guys about something really concerning, from the past two weeks exactly, many of you guys who are from India know exactly what is happening.

A case of r*pe and murd*r of a doctor, and I can't tell you guys how bad it was. After that every single day,  on every news some new case comes up and not just in India but around the world, and because of social media we know everything that's happening around the globe.

Everyone is demanding justice for every single woman who is being wronged, I know after this every single girl will have doubts about every man around her. But my question here is why and how long do we have to protest for our rights, on one hand we say women are free and independent but we are the ones who are keeping safety items like pepper spray, alarms and what not. People will say not all men are the same but it's always a man. I have many brothers but I have sisters and nieces too. I'm afraid to send them anywhere with anyone now because we don't know what might happen. 

I truly believe that every single government should make laws that punish the culprits so badly that no other person can ever commit any crime.  I know people not only assault women but men too and it's high time we as citizens should protect everyone around us and demand the judicial system to give serious punishment to every single culprit.

I know I can't really explain and express my emotions on this and every single case like this, sometimes it feels like we are living in a society where law doesn't exist for actual criminals but for the poor victim.

I don't hope but like every single citizen of India I truly want justice and this time people will make sure everything changes for good.

To every single girl be safe and always stand up for yourself, and to every boy protect every girl like a sister.

Enjoy reading this chapter
I'll be back soon
