Ah. That explained it. I'd met Princess Twilight several times, and she'd been a curious character. Obviously newly appointed as a Princess, and a bit more bookish than worldly. She'd been a chatterbox, speaking mostly in magical theory that I barely grasped, but at the time I was just happy to have somebody speaking with me. "So, the mystery is revealed. I'm pleased to say that you've got a leg up on the rest of these snooty nobles."
