"I believe it's true your higness" Ms. Clare agreed.

Just then Carol exits the kitchen with the medicine as she hurried to Leona's room, "I'll be right back" she said as she walked away.

Just then King Garrick had an idea...

"I think I know who we should adopt" he said smiling.

They royal family, Sasha and Ms. Clare all looked at Garrick, "who will it be your majesties?" Sasha asked the king.

~~~~~30 minutes later~~~~~

Violet and Carol entered the living room with Leona behind them looking like she just finished crying.

"Are you feeling alright sweetheart?" Queen Samira asked Leona who just nodded as she wiped away her remaining tear stained cheeks, "that's good to hear" Samira smiled.

Ms. Clare came out of a room holding an adoption paper, "Hey girls, someone will be getting adopted today" she announced

Violet, Carol and Leona all looked ar each other, "It's Sasha is it?" Carol guessed.

Sasha looked at her, "It's not me" she said.

"Then who?" Violet asked.

Ms. Clare showed them the adoption paper and saw Leona's name on it. This surprised the girls except Sasha, but Leona was the one who is more surprised.

"I'm getting adopted?" Leona asked.

Samira looked at her, "Yes you are honey, you'll be living with us from now on" she told Leona.

Leona is surprised she's getting adopted but she's worried at the same time, Samira noticed this, "Are you thinking that we're going to hurt you just like what your old home did?" Samira asked.

Leona was surprised that Queen Samira knew about her old home but she didn't mind, she just looked away and said, "I am" she replied softly.

Samira just smiled sadly as she hugged Leona which made her flinch a little but relaxed

"We'll never be like them, we promise, we'll take care of you and give you all the love we have and you deserve" Samira told Leona who looked at her.

"really?" Leona asked with hope in her eyes.

"Yes we will!" Axel said confidently, "As your big brothers, we'll do everything we can to make you feel at home and make you smile" Axel added smiling.

Leona saw Axel's smile and tried to smile back but she made a weird smily face which made everyone concerned for her.

Leona sighed and looked down in disappointment, "I'm sorry, is there a way to make me smile and feel happy again?" she asked

"Of course there's a way" Hugo replied, "And we won't give up" he added

This sentence made Leona relieved as she slowly signed the adoption paper which surprised everyone.

"I hope I won't be a burden to you your majesties, but-" Leona stated, "please take care of me" she told them.

The royal family is happy that Leona agreed to the adoption.

"It's official!" King Garrick beamed with joy as he hugged his new child, "We promise to make you smile honey, don't forget that" Garrick told her.

Leona hugged the king back which is heartwarming.

A few minutes later, The 3 girls are helping Leona pack up her stuff in her room, "Leona!, don't forget your music box" Carol said as she handed Leona a hand crank music box.

"Thanks" Leona said as she took the music box as she placed it in her bag. After packing she head to the front door and saw her family in the carriage waiting for her.

She looked back and hugged Ms. Clare and the 3 girls together, "I'll visit when I have the chance" she told them

"I'm sure you will" Ms. Clare replied.

Carol hugged her, "Don't forget us Nana, but it looks like I'll be the youngest now" she smiled

Leona playfully rolled her eyes, "one, of course I won't forget you, and two, goodluck being the youngest" she replied

She waved goodbye to them as she stepped in the carriage and sat between Axel and Hugo, the carriage began moving and now Leona is off to her new home....
