"Ever since I was three?"

  Reina was pacing around in front of Genevieve in the large chamber that belonged to her until her marriage, which then after she had to move in with Harry. Harry had stormed out of the meeting angry after hearing his father's final words, as well as Reina's stepmother's about the proposal being set ever since they were both three years old. Reina was dragged away by Genevieve to her bedchamber before she could lose her temper.

   "It was a decision made by your father after your mother died, and before I arrived," Genevieve spoke quietly, sitting on the bed with her hands on her lap.

   "But why? Did we owe something to House Styles?" Reina questioned, fiddling with her fingers as she continued pacing back and forth.

   "Not entirely. I assume at the time, the King wanted an alliance: a political marriage. House Rahraenos was a respected and noble house before the rebellion. Pairing our house with House Styles would have made a great match, what with our dragons and high status. Now, we are seen as the traitor house," Genevieve explained as Reina listened attentively.

   "Yet the marriage is still happening," Reina scoffed, walking up to the large window by the side of the room and gazing outside of it.

   "Well yes, they remembered the proposal and thought it was a perfect way of establishing peace between our houses. Plus, with this our house can rise up to its previous status in future wars when we fight alongside Styles' with Vaera and her babies," Genevieve told her with a sigh, noticing Reina's rage fade away a little, only to be replaced with sadness and slight fear.

   "Couldn't you have told me of this earlier? Look at what's going to happen to me now! I'm going to wed this man whom I barely even know, bed him and produce an heir to the throne. Become Queen at some point and live in this new kingdom, far away from my own family and people," Reina rambled loudly and emotionally.

   "Reina," Genevieve spoke up firmly, walking towards her and taking ahold of her forearms. "Listen to me carefully."

   "You are Princess Reina of House Rahraenos, what is our motto?"

   "Don't wake a sleeping dragon."

   "No, idiot. Our official motto," Genevieve shook her head.

   "Never forget."

   "That's right. We never forget. We will never forget what happened during that rebellion. We will never forget our soldiers who lost their lives in the battle. We will never forget the effort put into the rise of House Rahraenos from a common house into a noble one, by the hand of the King and Queen. Of Ronan and Rhoda," Genevieve spoke to her firmly.
