Bab 291: Ask Around

[Margaret's POV]

I just shook my head slightly upon hearing that, not particularly concerned with Benjamin's response. After musing silently for a bit, I posed another question, "Does Her Highness the Empress Dowager have any other relatives by her side? I mean, besides Donald and Prince Henry."

It seemed Benjamin hadn't expected me to change the topic so abruptly, and a slow confusion crept onto his face. However, he's always been an extremely intelligent man and wouldn't overtly display curiosity without measure, especially when it comes to dealing with Donald and me.

Benjamin looked up at me respectfully, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Most of the Empress Dowager's relatives perished in the wars that occurred over a decade ago; there aren't many others close to her. If I really had to mention someone, there is Mr. Levi from the Spirit Dragon pack, who is a distant nephew of Her Highness the Empress Dowager."
