Chapter 108: Hope

"What aren't you telling me?" Her voice edged

on panic as his expression grew more and more

solemn.

His throat bobbed. "Your parents…they passed away."

Her face turned ashen with grief as hot tears welled behind her eyes. Anguish stabbed her like a knife. It was strange, feeling grief for people she had never known. But she felt it, all the same. The fact that she never got to meet them crushed her.

"I'm sorry." Elvin muttered.

"Their passing we're mourned all over the land . They were heroes who sacrificed themselves for the city of Arkaans to regain freedom."

Meredith bit her lips as he continued.

"Your father was King Luscious Belmont of Arkaans the first original hybrid and your mother was Queen Kate Belmont of Arkaans the most powerful witch to ever exist" He gazed into her eyes.

"And you're Meredith Belmont of Arkaans, the last remaining bloodline of the royal family and heir to the throne."

Meredith blinked once.

Twice

Thrice.
