["He got you good!"] She laughed.

"Oh, don't fuck with me right now, Fox."

["Kitsune, we are kitsune, starlight, not a fox."]

I clenched my jaw at the nicknamed, "Fine, Kitsune, whatever."

"Is she talking to you?" Bia asked, eyes wide.

"Apparently she is me, so, yes," I groaned.

When we finally got to our dorm, the door was open and the keychain with two identical keys were in the inside, so I walked inside with her and locked it, then I grabbed the keychain and began to separate the two, then I made a magical keychain for both in red and black, leaving the little scorpion keychain on hers to differ, since I've got it in my last two times here. But when I turned to Bianca, her eyes darkened, she set a barrier in the entire dorm to block from the outside, and then, she did something weirder, she bend her knees and bowed to me, her hands extended and that... that amulet I saw in the vision was in her hands, not a sign of aging.

"Your Highness," she said, looking down.

What the hell? How did she learn I'm a Princess?

["Not from Hell!"]

What the fuck? You can hear my thoughts.

["I'm you, and I'm in your head, of course I can!"]

What in the Tartarus?

"You... you know who I am?" I frowned.

"You are the Crowned Princess," she nodded.

My eyes widened, "How did you know I'm the Imperial Crowned Princess?"

Frowning, she raised her head, "You're the Imperial Crowned Princess?"

"What the fuck? Didn't you just said that?" I gasped confused.

She turned pale, "As in, Imperial Crowned Princess of the Underworld?"

"Wait, what? What the hell were you talking about then?"

"What... the fuck?" Her jaw dropped. "He made you the Crowned Princess?"

"Who made me what?" I giggled anxiously. "Fucking Tartarus, I'm confused."

"No, I'm confused," she gasped. "What did tell you?"

"Who?" I frowned.

She frowned, "Balthazar and Dakira."

Well, I think I just paled worse, "My parents?"

Her blood drained from her skin, "Your parents? What the fuck?"

I blinked, "They are my parents, mine and Alec's."

"Wait, Alec? As in Alesso Vaughan? The one who came with you? He's your,"

"My brother, yes," I scowled. "My only full-blooded brother."

["He ain't your brother!"]

"Of course, he's my brother, what are you talking about?"

"Me?" Bianca gasped.

"No! The Kitsune!" I pointed to my head. "Fuck, Kitsune, can Bianca hear you?"

"Can I hear her?" Her eyes widened.

["If I want to, yes."]

"Then let her hear you, because this is fucking with my head," I groaned.

["Hello, Bia,"] Kitsune spoke, and Bianca fell on her ass.

"Do you know..."

["I do, but starlight doesn't. She's as clueless as she can be!"]

What? "What am I clueless about? What are you talking about?"

"Wait," Bianca stopped, "Balthazar and Dakira raised you as their child?"

"I am their child," I think.

"No!"

["No, you ain't. We ain't."]

"What? Then are we the baby's child?" I blinked. "The baby in the vision?"

"Baby? The one you and Davon were fighting over?" Bianca asked.

I nodded, "Yes, is the baby, my real mom?" That would make sense.

"What baby?" Bianca frowned.

"The one you saved," I mocked. "Speaking of, how fucking old are you, Bianca?"

"What?" She gasped.

["Starlight saw the Great War, fate magic threw her in there and made her see all of it,"] Bianca gasped horrified, turning pale. ["She saw as far as you disappearing in the magical cocoon after they were all killed."]

"What the hell? She shouldn't see again. That's traumatizing," she groaned and turned to me. "That's what awakened your 9th tail, isn't it?"

Sighing, I made her stand up and brought us to the red velvet couch, "Don't stay like that, and yes, it's what made me awaken. It was..." I stared at my hands, feeling the urge to cry again, "heart-wrenching. I've been here twice before, and all I studied in history, all I believed, was a... a lie. Fuck," I cursed, "I'm so angry, I'm so... so, so, so fucking angry and I don't know what to do about this. Now I get it, I get why dad sent me here to kill the heirs, but they have nothing to do with this, I don't want to make the pieces of shit suffer by loosing they children, I want to make them suffer before I murder them. They don't deserve grief, they deserve death."

"Wait, what Davon said was true?" Her jaw dropped. "It's your 3rd time here?"

Sigh, "Yes, that bastard is right, damned fucker."

"And Balthazar sent you here to kill the heirs of the Kingdom?" She gasped.

"Yes," I passed my hands over my hair. "Von Hyden, Wintermere, Amblecrown, Hindergrass, Ravenhorn, Whitfield, Natheridge, and Blackstrand. The ones that were responsible for the death of the... King and Queen of Nyx in the Great War. Fuck, I can't believe they hid that the King had a mate, or that she was a demon at that. Those pieces of shit, tempering with history is a fucking crime. And she was what mine? My aunt or my grandma? Tartarus fucking damn it, it's the worse. This is the worse, I feel... I feel like I want to kill myself and kill of them together with me, to make this pain stop."

"Can you show me your left shoulder?" Bianca asked.

I frowned, "What?"

"Can you show it to me?"

"Why?" What a weird request.

"You are confusing me here, so, before I say anything, I want to confirm it."

"Confirm what?" I blinked, confused.

"If you are who I think you are."

["We are!"] Kitsune exclaimed.

"But she won't believe it," she sighed, pointing at me.

"Believe what?" I groaned, getting stressed.

"Do you have a curved scar on your left shoulder, going a bit further into your back, and with the tip on the back tilted a bit downside?" She asked, serious.

What the hell? "How do you know that?" I covered my shoulder with my hand. "No. How do you know that with such fucking precision?"

"How did you get it?" She asked instead.
