Chapitre 58: Love and Loyalty

What really happened in Katherine's past?

What did Vritra know that had her so terrified?

She realized it was time to give up and explain everything to him properly.

There was no point in keeping it hidden anymore, and she hoped that maybe, after hearing the truth, he'd show her some mercy.

Before the scandal that tore her family apart, Katherine had a secret romance with a fellow scholar, Aric Verlyn. Aric was not only her intellectual match but also the one person who truly understood and shared her passion for knowledge and her dreams of making a difference in the kingdom.

Their relationship blossomed within the university's intellectual circles, where they connected deeply both intellectually and emotionally.
