Chapter 319.1
“Did the previous King know?” Eugene asked.
“I’m not sure,” Kasser replied.
That question troubled Kasser deeply.
[“Son, do not trust Mahar.”]
The King’s final words were cryptic. It was unclear what he knew, why he abandoned his birth mother and younger sister in such a manner, or whether it was intentional. Everything remained shrouded in uncertainty.
Whether the King knew or not, it doesn’t matter, Kasser thought.
Although he had never harbored any resentment during his upbringing, he had regarded the king as faultless. However, this incident left him disillusioned.
My birth mother never trusted the King. It means the King didn’t place that level of trust in the woman who bore his child. It’s entirely the King’s responsibility.
Yet, Kasser couldn’t determine if he had the right to feel disappointed. After all, he had married Anika solely for the purpose of securing an heir. For the late king, marriage was merely a means to an end. That’s why the presence of the woman in his arms now felt like a miraculous occurrence.
