Previously:

Adam snatched the cage from the princess, "Why didn't you tell me?!"

The orange lighted fairy glared at him, "You never listened to me! That's why. And now Flare blames me for no love in the dark forest."

"Tense moment." The mother popped out, "There are no shortcuts to love." Adam gave her a look so he hid behind the statue she was behind, "I'm just saying my dear."

"Emerald." The dark green winged female took the cage, "Put her back."

Mercury groaned when it was handed to him, "Oh come on, I had to carry her here."

Now:

Neptunia sighed, "This wont help Sun, she flirts with every guy she think is hot. And I'm pretty positive she's never been in love before. If she is then I have no idea where to start."

"I should have never used that potion on Blake." Neptunia looked at the dark kings with her dark blue eyes, "None of it…"

"…would have been real." The bull faunus looked at the dark blue eyes of he female with him. Neptunia sighed, "I know about getting your heart broken." She looked away, "I nearly married someone who didn't love me."

This intrigued Adam, "Why?" Although now that he thought about it he did remember Romen complaining about a girl with blue hair and even darker blue eyes wearing a wedding dress punching him in the jaw. It still amused him that Romen had a good bruise for a while after that encounter.

Plastering a fake smile on her face the princess replied placing her hands together in fake enthusiasm, "Because he was so perfect. He even changed some of his mean ways for me."

"I see." The faunus said keeping an eye on the blue haired girl as she looked down with a sad sigh.

Her hands dropped to her side. "I guess I just didn't want to see…" She looked pissed in milliseconds, "…that he was no good coward, crown wanting, power hungry, lying, cheating, son of a…" Adam stopped her from finishing that sentence with a hand on her shoulder, as his mother was still in the room. Neptunia sighed and closed her eyes, "What he really wanted was for me…"

"Not to be yourself." She nodded, "But that is what makes you unique."

She giggled, "I've been told that on several occasions."

"But that is what is likable about you." Adam cleared his throat in embarrassment.

With a shake of her head she said, "But now I keep my guard up."

"I do too." They were now looking at each other in the eye.

"And I never trust…"

"…anyone." They laughed lightly.

"You know when I cut my hair he was beyond pissed at me."

This surprised and made Adam extremely amused, "Really?" He quite liked her hair style. She didn't have that nonsense long hair and girly touch about her. In his mind that would help her rule her kingdom.

Neptunia nodded, "Yep, he kept his cool though and would ask me on many occasions why I cut it and wont let it grow back out."

"How long was your hair? If you don't mind my asking." The bull asked curiously.

She stood up and put her hand to her waist, "Here, my dad used to tell me how much I looked like my mom." Her blue eyes were smiling at the mention of her mother, "In fact the way I act reminds him of her."

"What hap…sorry." Adam looked away.

"She died of cancer when I was seven." Neptunia looked at a picture she pulled out of her back pocket. It was of a woman that looked just like the princess down the blue eyes and hair. "My father raised by himself ever since."

Adam touched her hand, "I'm sorry to hear that. It must have been tough without your mom."

Her dark eyes looked amused as she put away the picture, "My dad is pretty happy with how I turned out. Even when I convinced him to adopt Sun."

This amused Adam, "I can see you do that to be honest."

"It didn't take long to convince him to be honest. He knew how important Sun was to me. So when she lost her parents I just had to make sure my best friend didn't move very far away." She lost her smile, "But…as we looked to have her adopted we found…her family not even opposed to it. In fact they gave her to us like she was an object." Adam's jaw dropped, "They refused to accept her because she had a non-faunus father."

From her 'hiding place' Flare winced, 'That poor girl.' Her minded turned to the blond monkey faunus doing whatever she was probably doing in her cell. 'You would never know her family didn't accept her.' Her attention went to her son and the pretty blue haired princess as they continued to talk, 'Wait a minuet. Dark blue wings, blue hair and dark blue eyes. She looks like that one young lady that went missing many years ago. Before my Adam was even born.'

"So were you ever told what your mother was like?" Adam asked as Neptunia sat on the table next to him.

"Yes, many times. She was actually the only dark winged fairy in our kingdom so many treated her rather unkindly. Then my dad, the prince and only son fell in love with her." She laughed, "Can you imagine the scandal?"

Adam laughed, "Oh, I bet it would be the same if we had a fairy with light wings as well."

"Over time as they dated the other people started to get used to her. You see she never was from here. In fact we don't know where she was from. She lost her memories and woke up near our kingdom. Since she didn't have her memories she decided to stay." Neptunia touched her wings, Adam looking at them and seeing the color and pattern clearly for the first time, "When I was born they had expected me to have my dad's wings but as we all know it is based on the colors we have on us so my wings look just like my mom's. My dad used to say she was the kindest woman he had ever seen. She loved faunus so much that she started a orphanage that took in abandoned faunus children. It now houses even non-faunus children as well." Her smiled beamed, "My dad makes sure that my mothers orphanage will never close. He always makes sure they have money."

"Do you mind if I ask what her name is?"

"Not at all, her name before she got married to my dad was Azure Vasilias."

Flare's eyes widened, 'Oh my goodness. This is that poor family's granddaughter. I have to make sure they meet.'

"What is it like having a mom?"

Adam chuckled, "I could ask you the same thing about a Dad."

"Fair enough." Neptunia said with a nod.

The male bull blinked, "You…aren't going to ask."

Neptunia shook her head, "No. I figure if we are on good terms after this…" She waved her hands in the air, "…whole love potion fiasco you will find the right time to tell me."

"Then why did you…"

"I guess…I just wanted to tell someone that wasn't…familiar with what happened to my mom. I never got to know her so people don't ask how I feel about it." The princess stood up, "I'm going to stretch my wings." She walked toward the door and paused there before looked over her shoulder, "If you wanted I am not opposed to your company."

Adam chuckled, "How do you know that?"

Her smile was wide, "I don't want to hit you anymore."

This made the male burst out laughing, "Sure, I will come along with." He stood up and grabbed the blue haired princess trident. Tapping her shoulder with it to get her attention he said, "Here."

She blinked in surprise and took her weapon back, "Thanks." Putting it on her back it went back into its compact form.
