Penelope blinked as Naida hurried over to greet her with a hug. She returned the gesture with a small smile. Amidst the confusion, it was nice to see her friend again so she at least enjoyed the warm welcome. As her friend pulled back and stumbled to answer her question, the knight raised an eyebrow, confused by what she was trying to hide. Crow speaking up to say she knew about his relation to the king didn't help clear up that confusion either.  

However, Naida's next words did. She stared at them dumbfoundedly as the other kn—no—princess announced that Crow was her brother. "B-Brother?" she stammered and then focused on Naida. Penelope knew that the current king had children but she had never met them. At least, she didn't think she had. Though, as Naida stood excitedly in front of her now, she began to realize that she had been a rather close friend of one without even knowing. "W-Wait... You're a princess?! Is that why you didn't join us at the battlefront?"

"Well, yeah." Naida looked over at Penelope and gave a small laugh. "I thought you already knew. Olivia knew."

"No, of course I didn't. She never said a word and neither did you." Penelope scoffed. Thinking about it now, she supposed Olivia was hoping for a moment like this to happen. Along with that she couldn't help but find it a bit funny that she had unknowingly befriended the half sister of Crow. [i]Though.. I suppose that was probably just another 'coincidence'[/i] she thought with a narrowed glance upward. She let out a long exhale and shook her head as she focused her gaze back on the two. 

"Gods things just keep getting crazier." she muttered and gave a small smile at the princess. "Well, congratulations I guess."
