Chapter 318.2
After she had come to him when he became king, he had looked into her.
He found out what kind of man her husband was, how many children they had, and what her finances were.
He knew they were living a hard life after she came to him begging for money.
What he learned was tragic. Katie had completely cut her ties with her parents and Hogan kept gambling away their money.
He didn’t take care of his family in any way. Katie and her child were living off of the pension Anikas received, and, although it was quite a bit of money, they still lost most of it to Hogan’s gambling problems.
That was when Kasser started checking in on Hogan every time his mother asked him for money. It was clear that the man’s addiction was getting worse with every day. It enraged Kasser when he realized it, but eventually he realized his rage was empty.
Why should he be angry on behalf of the mother that had abandoned him?
He stopped looking into her after that. He couldn’t stand to waste more emotions on people that weren’t even in his life.
“Things seem different now,” he said. “It seems her finances have gotten better.”
