"I finally remember you," Sylphia said, narrowing her eyes at the elf.
The elf was stunned and looked at Sylphia in wonder.
"You're the daughter of Duke Valerin—Vera Valerin. The one who was said to have disappeared thirty years ago," Sylphia continued, making the elf's eyes widen as her body trembled.
Seeing her reaction, Sylphia knew she was right. Aldrian and the others watched the development with curiosity. From the elf's response alone, they could tell Sylphia was correct, and for this elf to be a duke's daughter and end up here, there had to be a story behind it.
Evin, who looked at her mother and Sylphia with innocent eyes, felt confused. She did not understand their conversation at all. But when she saw her mother's unusual reaction, she reached out and touched her hand, watching her with a questioning gaze.
"Mother?" she asked softly.
She then saw her mother draw her closer, as if trying to shield her with her arm.
