Capítulo 96: Treachery

Alden continued, his tone serious. "The Queen then ordered that if your mother were to marry into the Easvil family, she would lose her royal lineage. She and any descendants would no longer be able to hold any royal title. That's why we've never spoken about your royal lineage, Julian."

The Queen believes we've taken everything from her."

Julian clenched his fists, a mix of anger and sadness swirling within him. "But it's not fair!"
