"Valestria?" Leila frowns. "I've heard of it, but I've never met anyone from there. And you say they're a monarchy?"
"Yes." Miranda nods. "They're very proud of their ancestry. It goes way back — some say two thousand years. They have this ancestral tree woven into a tapestry. Every new Voss gets added. The thing is said to be taller than ten meters."
"What is the King's aunt doing in Arvion?" Leila asks.
"I don't know. Linus said she likes to travel and spends one or two months in one place."

"Well, she's a regular donor to Arvion and the rumoured cougar for Chief Stille," Miranda answers.
"But no one really knows why she's here, in Concordia. The last time she was here was over a year ago, remember, Mom?" Claudia chimes in.
