Simon is your son, and you are the Queen of this country. When he was a baby there was a war and you wanted to protect him. You made a decision and gave Simon to two of your most loyal servants. These were Lily and Philip. You told them to take care of the child for as long as needed and when he was 17 to find her and return him to her. During that ti me, they were to say that they were not his parents and that when the time was right they would return him to his real mother. The years passed and now it was time for him to return to you, but you decided that you needed to see if he had a good heart, if he would become selfish if he saw money, and that's why you decided to lie to him that you were poor.
