Elise P.O.V. So after a month of sailing the Mediterrannean Sea the fleet arrived in the ancient port & fortifications of Constantinople once the ship that was carrying me and my girls along with Daphne + Madeline & Dante arrived in the fortified harbor of the ancient city and had pulled up to a dock and docked I walked to the gang-plank and walked down the plank followed closely by Daphne who was carrying Dante and Madeline in her arms with Arya taking up the rear and onto the dock and once we had gotten off the ship we were welcomed by servants from the palace who took our luggage and put them into the trunk of a limousine and once the luggage was secured in the trunk Daphne & I sat down in the seats so that we would be facing the kids and then Madeline climbed in holding both Katniss & Miranda and sat down facing me followed by Arya and then Dante who had followed his sister inside the limousine and sat down next to his sister and he leaned his head against his sister's shoulder and once we were all comfortable the driver of the limousine who's name is Ceasar drove the seven of us to the palace which overlooked the massive city. After driving for about a half hour of driving through the city the limousine started to ascend the high hill that led to the palace and after a few more minutes the limo pulled up to the massive palace of Constantinople and once the limo was parked and Ceasar got out of the limo and opened the trunk and grabbed out our luggage and set them onto the ground and then he opened the door and out the seven of us stepped out of the limo and we were greeted by two people who were dressed in royal red outfits and the two people walked over to us and said welcome to Constantinople and I spoke saying thank you but where is the Emperor and Empress and the royal female said with a huge smile why your looking at them dear and so I walked up to them and curtsied to the Emperor and Empress followed by Daphne Madeline & the girls while Dante bowed to the royal couple and Emperor Justinian IV said Elise you and the others don't have to bow or curtsy to us for you are family. I stood up followed shortly by the others and I said thank you for allowing me/Daphne as well as my girls and niece and nephew to stay in the most ancient and famous city in Eastern Europe and Justinia said It's now problem dear niece which made me look at her very confused and she said let me explain dear Elise and others she said well before your mothers/aunt founded their own kingdom near Bordeaux 280 years ago your mothers/aunt stayed here with my grandfather who was your great grandmother's father and your great grandfather helped your Aunt Miranda raise your mother she pointed at Madeline and Dante along with your Great Aunt Arya along with Justinian and myself thus in a way it makes Justinian and I your distant aunt and uncle of yours and I said with a smile that makes more sense thanks for clearing that up Aunt Justinia and she said not a problem dears and then she continued speaking saying are you all hungry and we nodded our heads and Justinia said well then follow Justin and I to the dining room and she walked over to me and said do you mind if I hold your girls and I said sure so I picked up Miranda first and put her in Justinia's arms followed by Katniss and once they were secured in Aunt Justinia's arms and then the remaining five us followed them into the palace on foot once inside the palace I saw just how big the palace really and just by looking at the walls and pillars was pure breath-taking they were drapped with banners/weapons of war ranging from swords/to bombard artillery barrels as well as armor that was lined up against both walls. I looked over at Aunt Justinia and said the palace looks amazing and she said thank you dear a few minutes later the nine of us arrived at the dining room that had a very long table which already had plates and glasses of many variety on it, I was about to sit down next to Aunt Arya when Aunt Justinia motioned for me to sit next to her and so I walked around the table and sat down next to her and I said out of curiosity why do you want me to sit by you and she said with a smile why I wanted to get to know you sweetie and I will get to know your sister tomorrow and so she planted a kiss on my head and I said thanks Aunt Justinia and she said please call me Jess and I said alright Aunt Jess. And so while the food was being prepared Aunt Jess said so how did you meet your mom Miranda sweetling and so I told her how I met mom and everything else that has happened in the past three years by time I was done telling Aunt Jess my story her face had multiple emotions which ranged from anger to sadness and everything in between as well as tears in her eyes she wrapped her arms around me and said Elis you don't ever have to feel unwanted and alone anymore because all of us will be here for you and your as well as your little girls and I said thank you Aunt Jess and she said no problem wolfling which made me blush bright red at my nickname and Aunt Jess laughed saying is some one blushing and I said no and so the two of us continued to talk until the palace kitchen staff came in with several platters of food that varied from the countries of Eastern Europe all the way to China after the nine of us ate a huge feast which put us into a food coma the last thing that I remember before waking up the next morning in a king sized bed was my head laying in the lap of Aunt Jess who gently stroked my hair and talked softly in my ear words of love which lulled me to sleep. And once I was asleep in her lap either her or Uncle Justin had carried me to my large master suite and I sat up and thought with a smile on my face that I'm a part of this very for the large and extensive family that love me and only want me to be myself.
