"Why is everything about you?" Princess Zarya asked Princess Marina with rage.

Flashback

"Why is everything about you?!" Forestina yelled at Estania Vale.

"You have a fiance." Forestina said desperately.

"Couldn't you leave Gale to me?" Forestina asked as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"You don't understand." Estania said, stepping closer to Forestina.

"I and Gale have had a long game of cat and mouse for years." Estania said desperately, hoping that Forestina would understand.

"We didn't want to date until we were sure we were mates and none of us were aware that you had feelings for him." Estania said as she tried to pull Forestina for a hug.

"Liar!" Forestina screamed as she pushed Estania away.

"Liar!" Forestina yelled as she trembled.

"I told you my dream was to be a bride and you give me tips!" Forestina yelled.

"I took care of him when he was down, I cooked for him, I was always the first to lend him a hand and I was his closest confidant." Forestina cried as she patted her chest.

"I took care of everything he needed!" Forestina yelled.

"So why did he choose you?" Forestina asked in pain.

"Why is it always you?" Forestina asked brokenly.

Flashback end.

"Zarya!" Princess Esmeralda warned and Princess Zarya stormed out of the dinning room.

Sighing at Princess Zarya's immature display, Esmeralda got up from her seat and sat next to Princess Marina.

Pulling Princess Marina into a side hug, Princess Esmeralda said "She doesn't hate you, you know?" and Princess Marina held her tight.

"She is just a little bit down because she feels like she has been replaced." Princess Esmeralda said soothingly.

"Replaced?" Princess Marina asked tentatively.

"Yes." Princess Esmeralda said sadly before sighing.

"I am telling you this not so that you can look down on your sister but so that you can understand her" Princess Esmeralda said, staring Princess Marina straight in the eyes.

Nodding at her statement, Princess Marina waited to hear what Princess Esmeralda said next.

"It's no secret that I took most of mom's features and though I took Dad's eyes, my countenance is exactly like mom's." Princess Esmeralda said and Princess Marina nodded.

Sighing Princess Esmeralda said "Mom and Dad don't care what we look like or who we take after of course, but I was always dotted on more by mother." Princess Esmeralda said with a wink.

"Princess Zarya was born and she was born with Dad's green hair and although she had Mother's eyes, she had Dad's countenance so for a little while it seemed that everyone had their favorites until you arrived." Princess Esmeralda said with a smile.

"With your green hair, green eyes and the same countenance as mom you are the perfect blend of mom and Dad and Zarya doesn't know how to compete with that." said Princess Esmeralda.

"But mum and dad treats us well." Princess Marina said in confusion.

"They do." Princess Esmeralda said with a sigh.

"They try their best to treat us all equally but maybe it's because we are not mature yet but we always think that one of us is always being favored by the other." Princess Esmeralda said with a faraway look.

"But forget about that." Princess Esmeralda said as she kissed Princess Marina's forehead.

"What even started this whole outburst was mom and Dad telling us to give you tips on the academy." Princess Esmeralda said with a smile.

"I don't have a lot of tips because you are split up from other blessings in the first three years in the academy but what I can tell you-" Princess Esmeralda said as she beckoned Princess Marina closer.

"Is that there is a battle portion against other blessings after your first three years are up." Princess Esmeralda said and Princess Marina looked at her in shock.

"And a 100 people are chosen to advance to the fourth year of the academy." Princess Esmeralda said and Princess Marina looked at her in awe.

"I was among the 100 people that were chosen to advance to my fourth year and Princess Zarya will have her battle portion next year." Princess Esmeralda said and Princess Marina nodded, eating up everything Princess Esmeralda was saying.

"Advancing to the fourth year isn't a must." Princess Esmeralda warned Princess Marina.

"For the first three years, the academy trains you on your powers and shows you the numerous proffesions available to you but those who survive and advance to the fourth year of the academy, are being trained to be a Makarios." Princess Esmeralda said and Princess Marina's eyes doubled in size.

"Do you want to be a Makarios, Esmeralda?" Princess Marina asked in awe.

"Who wouldn't?" Princess Esmeralda asked with a wink.
