章節 441: Chapter 434. Remnant of Memories

Everyone looked at Bassena in surprise; even Zein looked at Bassena in surprise--although only for a split second.

"Your...patriarch?" the King's eye twitched.

Bassena had been a neutral power all this time; yes, he was a member of Trinity and worked for Radia Mallarc, but he wasn't the household member of the clan. So, pouching him was a fair game. Taking a member of someone else's clan through anything but marriage, however, was unforgivable between Old Houses, and a pretext for House War.

Zein didn't know about this yet, but Bassena did.

"Yes, why?" he raised his brow slightly and smirked. "Naturally, I'm going to join House Ishtera, no?"

Ah--Zein chuckled. Naturally.

"What--but you..."

"I've told you," Bassena quipped before the foolish King or his attendants could speak anymore. "I had no intention of joining the royal family or whatever."
