You're a young adult and you find out that the parents who raised you kidnapped you as a newborn.
They aren't your biological parents. They always wanted a child, so they kidnapped you and raised you as their own.
In every other way, they were loving parents. They gave you a happy childhood, took good care of you, and genuinely loved you. Until now, you never had any reason to think they weren't your real parents.
You also discover that your biological parents are the rulers of the most powerful empire in the world. Monarchs have absolute power in this hypothetical world, and ever since you were kidnapped, they've never stopped searching for you. If you had never been taken, you would have grown up living an incredible life as royalty.
This hypothetical world is completely up to you. It can be medieval, modern, fantasy, science fiction, or any sort of combination.
How would you react after learning the truth?
