Hold on a second. Didn't the late king say I was the oldest? That means I have siblings!

I ran as fast as I could in the dress I was wearing. I had to go ask Ani. It took me about thirty minutes to find him.

"Yes, your majesty?" He said.

"Before father....died.... He said I had siblings. Is that true?"

"Yes, it's true."

"Well, where are they? How many are there?"

"They moved out of the castle when your mother passed away. You have 5 siblings; three boys, two girls."

"I'd like to go find them. Can I?" I wanted to meet my family. I still wasn't sure about the whole 'I'm a Martian' thing, but I could at least meet those who these people call my family.

"I suppose so. I can go with you if you'd like." He looked like he was trying to stay emotionless, but he was failing. I could see the excitement in his eyes. I smiled and nodded.

We went to the countryside of the kingdom. It was a small kingdom, and I was kind of grateful for that.

"Why are we here?" I asked.

"We have trackers on your siblings. The eldest brother and the second eldest sister live around here." He sounded like a creepy stalker for a second. I just nodded, not knowing the appropriate response.

I heard a little girl's voice, followed by a young boy's voice. The boy's voice cracked and I giggled a little bit. I walked towards the sound to see a girl and a boy playing some kind of ball game. It looked kind of like soccer, but it looked different.

The boy stood frozen as he stared at me. I smiled and waved. I walked down the hill to get a closer look at them.

"Who are you?" The boy asked. The girl hid behind the boy.

"I'm Valinque. Nice to meet you. I was told that I have some siblings that ran off long ago living here. Could you possibly help me?"

The girl came out from behind the boy and stared at me in wonder. I looked at her and smiled. She smiled back, weakly, and hid behind the boy again.

"Valinque? Queen Valinque? Did father tell you about us before he died? I mean, how else would you know about us? Are you ok? The Earthlings didn't hurt you, did they? You were taken away before we were born, so we've only heard rumors about you. Wait. How did you know we were here?" The boy bombarded me with questions. Before I could answer, the little girl came out and hugged me. Now that I looked at here, she really didn't seem too young.

"I'm Almus, and this is Floy. We're twins." The boy looked at his sister.

"If you don't mind me asking, how old are you two?" I asked.

"We're going to be 14 next week." Almus smiled.

"H-how old are y-you, your m-majesty?" Floy asked.

"You can call me Valinque, or even Vali, if you want to. I'm 15 years old." I smiled. She seemed to relax a little bit.

"Wanna come inside? I can make tea, lemonade, coffee, and hot chocolate if you'd like." Almus gestured towards the small house behind us. I nodded and he giggled.

"You do that a lot, don't you?" I nodded and he laughed very loudly.

We walked to the house. I waited on the porch until I was told that I could come in.

"Make yourself at home, Vali." Almus smiled. He walked into the kitchen.

"What do you want?" He yelled.

"Coffee is fine."

"Seriously? Wow, grown-ups really aren't any fun, are they?" He yelled back.

"I'm not a grown-up! I'm only 15!" I retorted. Why is my Martian brother so annoying? Why can't he be more like my brother on Earth?

"But you do grown-up work!" He came back with one cup of coffee, two cups of lemonade, and a cup of hot chocolate. Ani took the hot chocolate and started drinking it.

"I was wondering...." I started.

"Wondering what?" Almus replied.

"Would you mind helping me find our other siblings?"

Floy looked at Almus while sipping on her lemonade. He looked at here, then back at me.

"We will on one condition," He said.

"What condition is that?"

"That you let us live in the castle with you." He looked serious.

"I think that's a great idea!" I clapped my hands together. This is going to be exciting.
