The Queen smiled as she spoke softly.<br/>"It is a crown for a young Prince. Let the people stare at you. You have the royal blood flowing thru your veins, Arus. Your grandfather was an Arus. He had a crown just like this but in gold. I think that gold should not be  for the young. They need something that looks not so regal until they are of a certain age. You put the crown on like Hannah has her tiara.<br/>You may call me Grandmother or Grandmam. In public, you should refer to me as your majesty Grandmother.<br/>I understand that you do not have the princely education but you will soon learn for you look so very intelligent. Your parents did not love you at all because of what I did. I had to send them away for they were very cruel people. They tortured the servants just for the fun of it. They enjoy hurting each other. Your mother, my only child and daughter, was cruel even as a child. I thought I had her cured for she seemed to be so. I found out that it was she that the one who was killing the little creatures in the garden. I caught her myself. I shook the living daylights out of her them slapped her face. Yes, I was that furious. Her hair was a mess and her face was red with my hand print. She swore that she would get even with me one day. And she did. Soon I had no choice but to send her out on her own     to see if she could become more human if she had to live with humans. Your father went with her. Little did I know that she was pregnant at that time. I had people tell me of her doings. She just got worst not better. She knew how to extract pain from the victim very well. One day several months later, I found out that she was pregnant and showing. She was brought in and it was verified. She was put in a special prison. She had all the luxuries as a princess and no freedom to go anywhere.<br/>Your father was a slick talking person who could make anyone but your grandfather. He saw right thru it.<br/>To make the story shorter, Arus had to go to a meeting of the minds in another country. While he was gone, your father visited and he got me to agree to let your mother go for the exchange of you on your first birthday. Your parents left here and hightailed it out of the country. I regretted it ever since. Arus was furious with me. It was our first public fight. I rarely left the palace since  that day for I waited for the day you would rejoin me." Queen spoke quietly as she took Arus' open hand and tucked it under her arm before leading the couple to a long sofa. She sat down as she told her tale.<br/>"Now I have my grandson back. A long time past his first birthday but back with me to stay. I'm going to let you live with the Hydewhites for the time being. One day you will visit me in the Palace."
