They didn't even have to say it for Selena to start sobbing until she couldn't breathe. After a month went by without Olivia and Caleb arriving at Hearts the royal family sent out a letter that never got a reply so they sent out a search party. They kept the search party going for three months out of hope they'd find them...they did...in their ship at the bottom of the sea connecting Hearts with Spades. Hearts wanted to come and tell their family themselves instead of just sending their knights and some Spade nobles. But there was an issue, who would be the new ruler(s) of Spades?
Selena was only eleven and her brother eight. Cora couldn't as she wasn't the heir her brother and his wife picked. Spades broke out into a huge disagreement and almost a war over who would be in control of Spades. The nobles pushed for Selena to take the throne as it was her birthright but the rest of the kingdom argued that she was too young and that Cora should be the one to be Queen as she was an adult and more mature and trustworthy. Selena came up with a compromise: Cora could take over the throne until Selena, not the nobles decided she was ready to take it and only if Cora would be her royal advisor and if they were given room to grieve. Selena was granted her wish and both her and Cameron wore blue and green, Cameron for half a year and Selena until she was fourteen. She took the throne when she was sixteen.
