章 277: Chapter 222 Laya's Secret_2

"I..."

Faced with Duanmu Huai's stern gaze, Layas involuntarily shrank back and lowered her head. She was someone who lacked confidence to begin with, and this serious question resulted in an apparent increase in her anxiety.

"I...…"

However, after a moment, Layas raised her head to look at Duanmu Huai again.

"I… I want to know, I want to understand all of this, I want to find out what secret Lady Tannis is keeping from me."

"......…Alright, I'll try."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders; it wasn't surprising that despite Layas being a docile and sensible girl, she wasn't naïve. Any normal person in her situation would have doubts about their origin. Perhaps Layas has long held some level of suspicion about her background, but lacked someone to share it with, so she concealed it. It wasn't until she and Audrey saw Layas' true form... well, anyway, this is a good time to check.
