Capítulo 427: LEAVE THE ISLAND

There was a long moment of silence in the bedroom. 

"I am Taiki Iekami." The man finally said. 

"Your surname is Taiki?" Kaito asked with obvious disbelief. 

"Martial Island is an independent state with numerous families from diverse origins with differing creeds, climes and beliefs. We have established a few rules to ensure the standardisation of information. One of these rules is the use of the given name before the surname." Taiki explained.

Kaito felt like he had fallen into the proverbial rabbit hole. The way the man spoke was like Martial Island was not part of the normal world. However, he refused to be drawn into the curiosity about the politics of the land. 

"And how did you know my mother?" 

"Before she became Takahashi Hime, she was Hime Iekami." The sorrow in Taiki's eyes could not be hidden. 

"Please don't tell me you are my secret father, and my mother was running away from you." Kaito laughed without humour.
