บท 330: IS THIS A JOKE

NEOMA took a deep breath and calmed herself before she spoke to Lady Sera Wisteria again. "Why?" she asked calmly. "Why are you saying this to me, Lady Wisteria?"

Lady Sera Wisteria raised an eyebrow at her question. "Why, indeed," she said. "Perhaps, this old lady is wondering if you're interested in knowing your parents' history."
