Chapter 209: The Forbidden Story

Prince Orius was finally snapped out of his thoughts and he noticed that Commander Iria was staring at him, confused. Maybe she was wondering why he zoned out all of a sudden.

If only she knew!

"Don't you have any family?" he promptly asked her. "I mean... from your mother's side."

Orius knew that their father was an only child and so was their paternal grandfather. So, they didn't have relatives from the father's side. However, he knew nothing about their late mother. She passed away just a few months after they were born and... very little was known about her origin. He always finds that strange.

"My mother wasn't from Jerivia," Iria Alewine said. The confusion on her face was now replaced by a sad one. She narrowed her eyes at the pond but her mind was somewhere else.
