Bab 443: Who Is My Father?

The Queen empathetically sensed Oriana's emotions and granted her the space she needed.

Once Oriana had regained her composure, the Queen began to speak. "She was a beautiful woman, and you have clearly inherited her beauty."

Oriana returned her gaze to the Queen and inquired, "And my father?"

The Queen fell silent, unsure of how to convey the truth.

"What happened, Your Majesty?" Oriana pressed.

"I'm not certain about the identity of your father," the Queen responded with hesitation.

"What does that mean?" Oriana's voice trembled with anxiety.

"I don't know what to say or whether the information I possess is accurate," the Queen admitted.

"Please, Your Majesty, tell me whatever you know. I implore you," Oriana pleaded.
