Chapter 232: Past Regrets (2)
One day the youngest was chasing the eldest. Sitting in the garden he watched two grown up boys, one seventeen and another thirteen year old, messing up the garden, ruining the spring flowers. The eldest had a photograph in his hand and the youngest with his face red was chasing his brother.
’See great grandma... Berty wants to marry this girl!’ Louis jumped over a hedge and ran towards her, escaping his little brother. ’She’s a Princess too. Princess Polaris!’
When she saw the picture of the thirteen year old girl, her heart squeezed. Wearing an amethyst earring, the purple in her eyes were brought out and her smile...
Her chest hurt... She fainted.
Her first heart attack.
At almost eighty years old, she thought there aren’t a lot that could surprise her. She thought she was saturated by the wonders of the world and the curve balls life throws at you, enough to get not surprised.
But she was amazed when she learnt that that girl who bore close resemblance to her daughter and had the same eyes as her husband was the little girl who she can’t take her eyes off, a decade ago.
But how is this possible? My child and my grandchild didn’t survive... Unless... I was lied to.
She investigated secretly. It was hard to gather evidences since most of the records were destroyed and not well kept during the war. Also having Rosandale people investigating around in Esteria made it harder. They had to be very discreet in investigating. Months went by with no results. But she was not willing to give up.
