Emerald says indignantly that he was the one that wrote the letter that Ruby gave to them.
"Bull!" Emerald hears a stallion yell from no where.
"Ow! Damnit Bellator that was right in my ear." Praelia says.
Emerald sees who he assumes Uictoria roll her eyes and then alight her horn. There is a flash, and then the two giant ponies appear off to her side near Ruby, with Praelia indeed standing right in front Bellator's mouth.
"It is not 'bull', as you put it Bellator. Do you not recognize this pony?"
Bellator looks confused and glances at his sister. She shrugs, and then Uioctoria says,
"His hair is a bit longer, but this is clearly the child from the wanted posters. This is the Jewel family heir."
The two shuffle uncomfortably, but Uictoria smiles with an amused sigh and says, "That explains a lot. Now, remove that bandanna from your neck."
Emerald hesitates uncertainly. Sensing this Uictoria says,
"Remove it or I will remove it for you."
Emerald sheepishly slips the bandanna off his neck, revealing his amulet. The unicorn stares at it for a while and then says,
"Did your step parents give you that as well?"
