Raven . . . is Royalty

The chaos in the room suddenly ceased and Bella screamed.

“Raven!! What happened to you?!” It was obvious that Bella was at the end of her string and about to go into a full blown panic attack. But before I could get a word out the princess said

“There is no way she’s a fairy. I’ve never heard of a fairy being a late bloomer before. And also it is absolutely not possible that she could have royal blood in her.” Then, like a ton of bricks: when royal fairies get their wings at 8 years old, they go into cocoons the color of their wings. Having that knowledge on fairies, it all made sense. Raven's mother was human, so her late father should have been a fairy. And no ordinary fairy at that, a royal one.

“That totally makes sense now,” I start, “Raven's mother, a human, died years ago and she never knew her father. Her mother said he died right after she was born.” The blood from the prince’s face slowly drained until he looked white as a ghost.

“What was her name??” He asked hoarsely.
