Chapter 446: What Happened?!
After giving Ursa her face back, they all used the same door and returned to the village. There, Zuko asked something to her that was pestering him.
"Mother, I found this letter in Ozai's office. I-Is this true?" He asked nervously.
She immediately recognized the letter. *Sigh*
"No, this is not real. I wrote this letter to catch Ozai. Since the day I left my home and went to the palace to live, I tried to stay in touch with my family by writing letters. But, I never received a reply.
"I had my doubts that Ozai was blocking my letters. That is why I wrote this and as expected, he read it and confronted me.
"Forgive me Zuko. But since that day, to punish me, Ozai decided that he would really treat you as if you were my illegitimate son. He saw you as a way to torment me.
"He most likely burned your face because he thought that no matter where I was, I would cry hearing about you. He wanted to see me sad and frustrated. He was a monster.
"Azula, this was the reason why I cared for him a little more. Because he was under constant harassment from Ozai and if I didn't support him then he would have gone mad. But sadly, I overlooked you.
"But know this, my daughter. I love you as much as I love Zuko. You both are equally my children. Now, there is your sister Kiyi too. Please don't be harsh on her. She is very young."
