"Big sister?" Corrin looked up at Camilla. Corrin had lived with the Nohrian family for a month now.
"Yes, my sweet baby sister?"
"Does my family love me?" Corrin seemed somewhat sad today.
"Of course we love you!" Camilla smiled.
"Yes, we love you as much as we love Leo and Elise." Xander smiled.
"No, not you, my real family. My real big brother and big sister and mommy and daddy and little brother and little sister. Do they love me?" Corrin asked.
"Of course they do." Camilla hated hearing about Corrin's "real family". She was her real family now. She loved her more than her old family ever could.
"Then how come they haven't come for me yet? Don't they miss me at all?" Camilla's heart hurt, she hadn't been able to make her smile all day and seeing her so sad made her sad.
"Maybe they are planning a huge surprise party for you." Xander intervened. He watched snow begin to fall out the one window in Corrin's tower.
"For my birthday?" Corrin asked, lightening up a little, but still depressed.
"When is your birthday?"
"Mommy says it's one one. Big brother Ryoma says is Jananary fist." Camilla stifled a laugh.
"She's so cute!" Camilla smiled.
"That's coming up soon, maybe they are planning to get you then." Xander lied.
"Really?" Corrin's face completely lit up and a happy, innocent light returned to her eyes.
"Maybe. I'm not sure. If it's a surprise, only they will know."
"Prince Xander, Princess Camilla, your father wishes for you to return to your playroom." A young, blue haired girl from the ice tribe said. She and her twin sister had been taken hostage from the Ice Tribe and were forced to care for Corrin. They weren't much older than Camilla, but Camilla felt they did a good job and felt no urges to murder them like the last five maids.
"We have to go, darling." Camilla whispered to Corrin. She put on a fake smile.
"Please don't." Corrin whimpered.
"We have to, Father wants us in the playroom.
"Can I come?"
"No, you can't."
"Why not? I want to be with you guys." Tears started to fall from Corrin's face.
"I know you do, but you just can't. Not yet."
"Please Camilla? Big brother, please let me come!" Corrin begged, her tear covered face turning to the young prince.
"Someday you may come with, just not today. We will visit soon." Xander smiled. He walked out the room quickly, he hated to see Corrin cry.
"I love you." Camilla kissed Corrin's cheek. She walked toward the door. Before she could walk out she felt something tug at her purple dress.
"Please don't leave me here. Please stay." Corrin begged.
"It will be okay, Corrin. Would you like to play a game?" The maid asked.
"No, I want Camilla!" Corrin sobbed. The maid picked up Corrin and called for her sister. Camilla quickly left the room, trying not to cry herself. Xander was waiting for her a few feet away.
"Why would you tell her that her family was coming for her?" Camilla asked, anger building inside her.
"It made her happy." He shrugged.
"And what will happen when they don't come? Her birthday is in a week, what do you intend to do about that too?"
"We'll figure out something." Xander mumbled.
"Xander, this is a living human. A baby girl. You can't just fill her head with lies."
"You do the same thing. You tell her you love her, but you're just filling a void in your life because your mom doesn't love you." Xander shot at her. He instantly regretted his words as Camilla pushed past him and ran down the staircase.
