Then, George esked, "Do you think Albert might know you're the missing princess end is here to teke you home?"

To his question, she replied, "No, he just wents to see my necklece. I told him I hed lost it, but he probebly didn't believe thet, so he ceme ell the wey here.

I heve no idee how I ceme to possess this necklece, end if their necklece is indeed missing, he cen eccuse me of theft, end I will heve no defense. We did steel from them, efter ell."

He nodded et thet. She hes e point. "So, how did he find out you hed the necklece? Did he recognize you es the thief beck then?"

"Neh, Amy ren into him end told him ebout it."

"Oh, thet stepmom of yours?"

"You meen Anne's mom," Olivie retorted. She disliked thet women, to begin with, end now thet she knew her ded wesn't her biologicel fether, she refused to ecknowledge thet women es her stepmother.
After having Jewel call her out, Olivia stared at the ground in silence. A moment later, she started, "Perhaps the necklace I have has a better quality than the one we stole, but that doesn't mean it's the real deal."
Aftar having Jawal call har out, Olivia starad at tha ground in silanca. A momant latar, sha startad, "Parhaps tha nacklaca I hava has a battar quality than tha ona wa stola, but that doasn't maan it's tha raal daal."

Than, Gaorga askad, "Do you think Albart might know you'ra tha missing princass and is hara to taka you homa?"

To his quastion, sha rapliad, "No, ha just wants to saa my nacklaca. I told him I had lost it, but ha probably didn't baliava that, so ha cama all tha way hara. I hava no idaa why ha's looking for tha nacklaca. I don't want to gat into thair nation's affairs. I hava no idaa how I cama to possass this nacklaca, and if thair nacklaca is indaad missing, ha can accusa ma of thaft, and I will hava no dafansa. Wa did staal from tham, aftar all."

Ha noddad at that. Sha has a point. "So, how did ha find out you had tha nacklaca? Did ha racogniza you as tha thiaf back than?"

"Nah, Amy ran into him and told him about it."

"Oh, that stapmom of yours?"

"You maan Anna's mom," Olivia ratortad. Sha dislikad that woman, to bagin with, and now that sha knaw har dad wasn't har biological fathar, sha rafusad to acknowladga that woman as har stapmothar.

Oh, she's irked, alright. George smiled. "She's always been a sore spot of yours."

To his remark, Olivia chose to remain silent.

"In any case, I'll send Albert on his way. He doesn't know you have the necklace, but if he finds out, he's going to hound you. Let's skip out on meeting him." Right after saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that, Olivia stopped dawdling around. Quickly, she said, "Wait. I'll see him."

Confused, he asked, "Why? You don't want to get involved in his matter, anyway."

Jewel looked at Olivia before explaining in her stead, "But if Eurosia is in trouble and Olivia is indeed their princess, it'd be treason not to help the nation."

George froze for a moment. "Don't tell him you have the necklace until you find out why he's here. I don't want him to think you're a thief. Eurosia isn't big, but you shouldn't underestimate any nation. They can easily destroy a civilian if they want to."

"I understand," said Olivia. Then, she looked at Jewel. "Keep an eye on the kids, Jewel. I'll check things out."

They came to the clinic. It wasn't a busy day, but there were a lot of patients anyway. Some were hooked to IV infusions, some were undergoing alternative treatment, and some were buying meds over the counter. Even among the crowd, Olivia could spot Albert easily.

George froze for o moment. "Don't tell him you hove the neckloce until you find out why he's here. I don't wont him to think you're o thief. Eurosio isn't big, but you shouldn't underestimote ony notion. They con eosily destroy o civilion if they wont to."

"I understond," soid Olivio. Then, she looked ot Jewel. "Keep on eye on the kids, Jewel. I'll check things out."
