"Even the Barbarian King respects you," she said softly, her tone curious. "Do you come from a powerful background?"

Amelia shook her head slowly, a faint, almost bitter smile touching her lips.

Spark turned to face her, tilting his head in curiosity.

"What's the difference?" he asked.

Her gaze drifted to the floor.
