Chapter 349: 16 Year Old Inglis and The Meaning of Matchmaking (1)
In the castle of Marquis Wilford, in their hometown of Ymir, the atmosphere was relaxed as the mothers and daughters gathered around the table, indulging in tea and snacks. Towering cakes, reminiscent of those found at weddings, adorned the table, and two of them had already been devoured on that very day.
"I must say, I feel so proud that our daughters saved the kingdom from the crisis," Aunt Irina beamed with delight.
“Glis, why did I hear that you fought alongside the Hyrule Menaces against the Prisma…?" she continued.
Inglis hesitated for a moment before responding, "Well…"
"Oh, I'm not interrogating you, dear. I was just surprised… It always seems like you can see things that others can't. Does that mean you've always known about your extraordinary abilities?"
"No, not really… There's always been something that feels different, but the guidance I receive at the Knight Academy is simply exceptional," Inglis replied, intentionally evading the question.
There were countless complexities surrounding her, such as her past lives and the power of Ether, but she couldn't delve into the details. Explaining them would only confuse the person in front of her and, most importantly, it would hurt her to be seen as a stranger. In the presence of her mother, Selena, Inglis wanted to remain purely her daughter, Inglis Eux, and nothing more.
"I understand… You truly are remarkable, Glis. Your father and I are incredibly proud of you," Selena expressed with genuine admiration.
"Thank you so much, Mother," Inglis replied gratefully.
