This Marriage Will Surely Succeed

Why was he suddenly asking such a question? Thɪs chapter is updated by novel~fire~net

Could it be that the Archduke suspected that someone close to him was actually her mother?

Even if that were the case, he wouldn’t get the answer he was looking for.

Iona had no knowledge of her biological mother’s identity—she didn’t even know the exact year she was born.

Unless her face bore an uncanny resemblance to her mother’s, there was no way to trace her origins.

Even then, it would be nothing more than a guess. A meaningless assumption.

That was why, despite the Archduke’s unusual reaction, Iona remained indifferent.

The days when she longed for her mother had long since passed.

To Iona, her mother was nothing more than a stranger—someone she had never met, someone with no real connection to her.
