章 126: Cassius' Story

Jake's mind automatically compared Cassius' face with that of the princess, taking into account the age difference, and one could practically see the error message in his eyes. Hugo was also finding it hard to believe.

Cassius was rather pale skinned, a beautiful tonsure in the making with rather short grey curly hair and hazelnut-coloured eyes. Princess Lucia was a petite blonde with golden eyes and olive skin. Apart from her small size and a couple of years younger, she looked a lot like her sister but not much like the Lanista.

Seeing the doubt in their eyes, Cassius smiled before explaining himself.

"It's a complicated story, so it's best to start from the beginning. As you know, the noble clans are essentially inbred to keep their blood pure."

Jake and Hugo nodded, Priscus' explanation still fresh in their minds.
