Aeto had never been this angry with Alivia before and her words made him see red. Thali hadn't stolen her throne! Livvy was adopted and Thali was the biological child of the royal couple, which made the younger girl the heir to the throne.

Aeto didn't care if Livvy was sad, he cared if she felt bad about she had done and been doing to her own little sister.

"She'll be all right. Little one," Aeto said, picking Thali up. "Love you too, princess." He just hoped Livvy learned to accept that the throne would never be hers before her father had to banish her from Lynwood.
