ตอน 413: Poor Rean

Back when Rean left to help Roan with the mission, Qia's mother had brought her to talk in Tulia's Room.

"Qia, let me ask you. Do you really like that boy?"

Qia's face went red as she shook her head.

"N-No, it's just a political marriage that will benefit both of us. That's all!"

Ariana sighed as she looked at Qia's expression.

"I'm still your mother, you know? Do you really think you can hide it from me? In fact, I don't think you're doing a good job hiding it from anyone at this point. It's just too obvious."

"This..."

Qia didn't know what to say while Ariana insisted.

"You know that your father and I had a political marriage. In fact, the majority of the Imperial Family was like that. Still, I think I'm one of the lucky ones since your father treats me very well. I have to admit that I've grown fond of him with time. Well, it might also be because of my own family that he is doing it. I would probably never know for sure."
