Kapitel 135: Cult of Darkness

"Do you know why the Grand Duchess visited?"

Jeremiah asked as he wrapped a white cloth around Amber's ankle. He looked genuinely concerned and had been worried when he realized how deep her wound was. Amber felt guilty when she looked back at how she treated him.

"No."

Her reply was barely audible.

The Grand Duchess Eliza was once the lady in waiting for Queen Azenora. As it happened with most of the imperial and royal children, the grand duchess brought up Izekiel instead of his birth mother. This formed a brotherly bond between Jeremiah and Izekiel.

Amber knew that much but nothing else regarding the grand duchess.

Jeremiah glanced at her, his fingers were resting upon her ankle, "Is it alright?"

She nodded without meeting his gaze.
