[COMPLETE] Long Lost Hearts [Original Fantasy Love Story]

It took an entire day before Reina was able to see the Village Leaders, nobles, Guild masters and her parents that she had talked to and had impacted while she was within the Hartman Kingdom. The first to go up to her was Viven who hugged her tightly happy to see the young princess once more. "Princess! It is so good to see you once more! Oh I'm so happy that you are getting married to Sylus! You two looked like such a good couple!"

"Thank you Countess Viven, it is good to see you again as well." Reina said with a small smile on her face

Syrus then went up to her with a smile on his face. "Afternoon Reina, it's good to see you in such high spirits."

"Afternoon Syrus. Have you been treating Countess Viven well?" Reina asked

Syrus let out a sigh as he averted his eyes. "Yes ma'am...I have been. I've been instructed to live with her in Arista since I've done what I had to her."

Reina raised an eyebrow at Syrus only for Viven to place her hands together in front of her. 

"I'm pregnant Princess." She said with a smile "I have yet to show but within a small frame of time I will be marrying Syrus and when that happens I wish for you and Sylus to be there."

"Of course, I'd be honored to be there for you Viven." Reina said with a small smile on her face

"Good to know, in time I will let you know when it will be."

Calvin and Raymond went up to her both of them smiling at her. "Looks like you and him were able to work things out huh?" Raymond asked curiously

Reina nodded her head with a smile "Sylus really has some bad communication skills and that's something we've been working on over the last three weeks."

"Ahn...gotcha. I can only imagine just how things have been between the two of you." Raymond said with a slight chuckle

Reina scratched the side of her face nervously "It hasn't been that bad."

Calvin placed his hands in his pockets as he spoke up. "I heard you chose that spinless bastard as your guard why?"

"The other guards would do whatever they could to make me feel dumb and as if I don't know what I'm doing. It wouldn't have mattered if I was raised where I was, to the guards those of royal blood are all ignorant and stupid. I didn't want someone who'd think they are better than I am when I can take care of myself better than they ever could have. Xavier has shaped up and has learnt to be a better person. While I've been here he's been learning rather quickly with Sylus's guards just what it takes to be one. I've seen just how hard he's been working while he's been here. He's defiently a changed man."

"I see...well hopefully things will be as you say." Calvin said seriously

Reina nodded her head before she looked at her parents. "Mother...Father."

Her parents went up to her and shook their heads. "That boy must have talked to you before he left didn't he?" Her mother asked

She nodded her head as she smiled at her parents. "He did yes, he was rather heart broken that he was told to leave that night. So, he inquired to speak with me in the library before he left out. I personally didn't say anything to him until I heard the same words I had spoken to him back from him. Which after a bit of a quarrel with my guard he did manage to say."

"And your time here, have you been well?" Her father asked concerned

Reina happily smiled at her father and mother as she had her hands together. "The last three weeks have been rather well. Tomorrow I get married to Sylus." She said happily

"I see...so that's why we were told to come here for. You are only child that has ever gotten this far in life yet we haven't gotten to know you at all." Her mother said sadly

The smile faded off of Reina's face as she heard the words that her mother said, Queen Rina spoke up as she had watched the reactions and actions of those who came from Hartman. 

"There is no need to guilt trip your daughter Queen Tanna. You obviously lack the necessary skills it takes to find your daughter that was taken from you. I have talked with your daughter extensively about her life and what could have and should have happened with her. It seems like if you and your husband didn't think to search all of the outer villages that are within your kingdom. Had you done so, you would have had the opportunity to raised your daughter and gotten to know your daughter for the intelligent woman that she is. But that's not the case since your husband and you don't think that well ahead of yourselves." Queen Rina said seriously

"Queen Rina, you must understand-she was kidnapped from us. We thought she was taken out of kingdom." Queen Tanna said sadly

"Had that been the case any of the other kingdoms would have reported a stolen child to the other kingdoms to claim as theirs. You know that is how things are, but yet you idly chose not to do a damn thing about how your daughter lived her life. Your daughter-A princess, lived a life of a commoner because you two chose not to take care of your daughter and find her! It does not matter whether she was stolen from your family or not, you should have-as worried parents you should have looked for her not ignore the fact that you were without your daughter." Queen Rina said seriously before she placed a hand softly on Reina's shoulder

Reina looked at the elder white haired female sadly and chose to stand behind her as Queen Rina looked at Queen Tanna seriously. 

"You are horrible mother, if I was the maternal mother of Reina I wouldn't have let her live the life that she had. Being starved, isolated, abused and casted out as she had been. She is a princess and she was treated like shit by your people! How could you sit idly by and hear your daughter say what she had to you and do nothing about it?! Why have her of all people deal with issues you as her parents should have dealt with to begin with?! It is not her job to place together the villages that are falling apart. You almost lost your daughter in one of those villages yet you wave it off as a life experience! She would have had no life had my son not been there to assist her! You truly have no heart to speak of! After today I do not wish to see you or your husband tread the soil of this kingdom! Your daughter Reina will become my daughter the moment she marries my son. I will treat her like the daughter she should have been to you!" Queen Rina said irate as she glared daggers at the brunette queen
