Kapitel 15: Her Origin

"It's about your mother's identity. The truth is… she is not a slave. Your mother is–" Annie's words were interrupted as she began coughing up blood.

Eve was scared to death upon seeing blood coming out of her mouth. Her body trembled as she looked at Annie worriedly. Her expression seemed to ask her if she was hurt.

However, Annie didn't have time to care about her fatal wound. She had to tell her everything she knew while she still had energy left.

"Your mother is a princess. You are pure royal blood, my lady. Not a slave." Annie softly said, smiling at her faintly. 

Eve was stunned as she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

'My mother is a princess. How could that be?'

She suddenly reminisced about her childhood moments with her mother. No wonder a mere maid was able to teach her daughter how to read and write.
