Chapter 376: My mother once said.
Back in the sonar, Galen was going over his own memories of his mother’s coldness. But unlike Roland who did it silently, Galen was mentioning his grievances loudly over a hefty dinner and more wine.
"Do you know that she never carried my children in her arms even once?" He waved a fork that had some lettuce in Roland’s direction.
Roland sent a spoonful of garlic butter rice in his mouth. The rich, savory flavor almost made him moan in pleasure. He sliced a piece of chicken and to follow the rice, all the while nodding along to Galen’s words.
The fact the their mother had never carried Galen’s children in her arms was not an earth shattering surprise as he had no memories of her carrying either of them. It was always the nursery maids.
"She did not even know their names." Galen tapped the fork against a crystal glass, calling for Roland’s attention. "Scratch that, she did not even know that I had more one child because she always rejected every invitation I sent to her to my home. She almost had my children thrown out at royal banquet. When she found out that they were mine, she just ignored them like they were no better than the servants."
"That’s Maurelia De-Kensington for you." Roland sighed.
"Do you know what she said at my first wedding?" He asked.
Roland shook his head.
As he swirled the wine in his glass, Galen let out an empty laugh and said, "She said to me that she was happy I finally had someone in my life that could love and stand me."
