"Ah. I simply have one half brother-that would be Cole, and he's allowed to come to the castle during occasions and certain functions and stuff-and that's enough, I have enough sibiligns as it is. Oh and two cousins but they and the advisor's grandkids just...go around wherever. Our castle isn't as big but it's enough that I get enough personal space." Callen nodded. "Plus whenever I need a break I just come into town here, its works out."

" i never get to go out. "

Callen shrugged. "I think my parents would've done the same except that with so many of us, they just gave up trying to keep track and that's kind of how I get enough freedom to waltz off every now and then."

" i wish my parents were like that. Honestly im pretty sure they think of me as being the heir over being their daughter. "

"THat sucks. Mine actually carry around a small notebook so they remember who's who, it's really funny when the twins trick them or something. But yeah, I think most of the roayls who have kids have way too many."

" like my father. And mother. My mom has a secret daughter. Which explains why i didn't see her for 10 months. "

"There's even more illegimate half-royals or whatever you call them that make things so confusing then family secrets of my father's advisor's son's doing. And yeah, our head adviros has 11 grandkids and by the way, never bring up that fact to anyone in the castle, it's a touchy subject. Especially for our head avisotr and my father." Callen added.

" geez families suck. This is exactly why i dont want a loveless marriage. ''

"I'm pretty sure commoner families are normal-ish. Y'know, mother, father, a few kids, no craziness." Callen shrugged. "But yeah, I think I see what you mean..Long as the queen has an heir and a spare, it's all fine."

" my kingdom doesnt allow illegitimate children to inherit the throne. I think its a bloodline thing. Nor does it allow any other child thats not from the king and queen, even if theyre closely related. "
