“So, what were her plans with the other prince?” Gwyneth asked, frowning as she tried to think straight.

“Was she planning on tracking me down for ransom money later on?” Steven asked.

“Maybe she wanted her niece to marry one prince and for the two of them to run the country together. Sharing with a twin would dilute her influence?” Gwyneth suggested thoughtfully.

“But why didn’t you ever think of telling me, since I so clearly don’t resemble my parents?” Steven asked.

“You didn’t seem to be worried about anything as you grew up, Steven. Why would I rock the boat?” Elsie responded.
