Refused To Admit

For a split second, Arin Helev thought that he heard the Emperor wrong.

How could she be his niece? He never heard...

One thing suddenly crossed his mind. He never knew a thing about her mother. She had never talked about it either and only said that she didn't even know how her mother looked like.

Was this why?

"I have a late sister," Emperor Kalos explained, looking at the King's confused expression. "The current Commander of the Alewine Army is the daughter of my late sister."

Arin Helev now understood how Iria became the niece of the Emperor but... he still have many questions.

Iria might want to leave Jerivia? He doubted that.
