The Next Queen of Lucis

Memory lane #4 Ignis Scientia

"I beg your pardon?" I looked back at Aria surprised

"I'm going to be a big sister!"

She said proudly, I thought I heard wrong but I hadn't.

"My mommy and Daddy said that I'll have a little brother or sister soon!"

Ah... So they were to expect...

"It will be amazing! Like... We could play! And and... And play! And be together all the time! Like you and I Iggy!"

I smiled.

"We'll be the bestes of friends!"

"I'm happy for you" I went back to my book.

"Hey Iggy?" I smiled at her, she was happy so I should be too.

"Yes?"

"Don't you want a brother or sister?" 

I closed the book.

"Even if I want I can't"

"Why? can't your daddy and mommy give you one?" 

"... No, they aren't here anymore"

"Oh! and where are they?"

sometimes she was too innocent for herself

"Some place far away from here"

"Aren't you sad?"

"No, I'm contended with being here and I wouldn't like it any other way"

And I intend to keep it like that.

Because the life in Altissia is not as peaceful as people like to think, there's problems too.

My family had them, frequently, and they didn't hide it when they start fighting I always hide in whatever place was as far away as it was from them.

Screams, fights, that's all that was everyday, It was painful.

I wanted to escape and never be back again there.

And one day it happened, he went to far on my mother, she suddenly went too quiet and I moved from my hiding place, when I saw there was blood everywhere my father passed out next to her, but she didn't pass out, she died.

I remember asking a neighbour for their phone, police was called, child's protection was too, everything was a blurry after that.

But when I noticed I was already on Insomnia, with my uncle by my mother's family, he teached me everything told me I could be better than them, that I could make a bright future for myself, should I have been sad? Maybe, but I wasn't, I knew that place was no good, no matter how much my mother loved me.

I wanted the brightest future I could get, if studying for it was all it takes I didn't care, I didn't want to get back to that place. Ever.

And I studied as hard as I could, and then the next happiest moment in my life came, I was happy with my uncle yes, but this was above everything else.

"The King has a daughter, who will lead Lucis one day, and she will need an advisor"

Was I nervous? Yes, I didn't knew what kind of person she could be.

What if she was spoiled rotten? I would hate every last second of it.

What if she were to get anyone fired if she didn't like it? ... Just thinking about it I hated the idea.

But Instead I was meet with something wonderful.

"I'm Aria...Nice to meet you" She had the biggest smile I have ever seen, and her eyes were as blue as the sea in Altissia, her hair was short but she still looked beautiful.
