Chapter 449: The Day He Saw Her For The First Time

"After your grandfather spirited your mother away, she didn't make it through that fateful night. However, amidst the bustling chaos following the Queen's demise, her passing went somewhat unnoticed. Understandably, the queen's death commanded the attention of the entire palace, overshadowing the tragedy unfolding within the Verner family. My focus was consumed by the task of caring for the weakened Arlan, alongside Ailwin and two other children who had endured the torment of that witch's curse. The events that unfolded that day within the confines of the Verner family home remained shrouded in mystery, as your grandfather dismissed all the servants, leaving the mansion eerily vacant. When I finally managed to regain control of the situation by nightfall, I dispatched guards to the Verner Mansion, only to discover it deserted. Your grandfather had departed, taking you with him."
