"When I feel like it," he muttered.

Momo raised her hands up. "BIBO!"

Odion's face flushed red and he glared at Momo. "Don't say that."

I looked at Esme for a translation, but Odion turned to look at her. "Don't translate that either."

She giggled. "I've never seen so many shifts in your personality before."

Odion groaned and returned to staring at his lap, ignoring all of us. I smiled, knowing I'd most likely find out later.

"Thanks, Odion. I really appreciate you always helping me." I meant every word.

He needed to know that I saw everything he did, and he wasn't a bad person like others wanted to portray him as.

"You’re welcome, my Queen."

"Bi...Bo." Momo turned around to face me, lifting her hands toward me for me to pick her. I noticed she looked tired, her eyes slowly coming to a close before they would pop open again. Picking her up, I nestled her against my chest and she wrapped her arms around my neck as she rested her head on my shoulder.

"Why don't we take a little break? Would you like something more to eat, Celestia?" Esme suggested. "We'll discuss the history of the Queen I spoke about more. You'll get an understanding of who I am," she added.

More about who she is? Right… she did introduce herself, but it slipped my mind.

"Another glass of coffee would be amazing," I admitted.

"I'll make another batch. Odion, would you like some as well?" Esme asked.

"Sure."

Esme walked over to remove the tray with the remaining food and headed to the door.

"What was the Queen's name anyways? They never talked about her in history books or anything. I guess if the High Council has something to do with this, I can understand them hiding it, but maybe I'd recognize it from one of the books I read in Alpha Pure," I explained.

Esme glanced back and gave me a small smile.

"The Queen from the tale was my daughter. Her name was Sia. Sia Rainbow."

Huh?!

SIA RAINBOW OF THE PAST

~CELESTIA~

"I'd like to be alone for a few minutes. Before the other Princes arrive."

The maids nodded in understanding and left the room, giving me a moment's peace.

With a sigh, I fought to sit up, hoping I wouldn't throw up a third time today.

It wasn't like I had anything left inside me to vomit out.

The poison running through my blood was destroying me from the inside out, and at this point, I realized it wouldn't be long before I moved on.

Removing the rainbow crown from my damp hair, I lowered it to my lap, staring at the beautiful colored gems, each color representing the elements I loved.

The men who had loved and cherished me.

I knew I'd see the other Princes before my passing. The Prince of Light, Nature, Earth, Star, Sun, and Moon.
