"I'm sorry, Seles… I'm so sorry." A blonde woman sobbed desperately as she clung to her daughter. "It was a mistake… something that never should have happened."
Seles looked down at her mother's trembling form, her expression twisting as she spoke the truth between broken sobs.
Tch…
So he really is my father.
Her mother had been staying on the artificial island to watch Cedric participate, so meeting her and confirming Jeremy's words hadn't been difficult.
And yet… Seles still couldn't understand one thing.
Why tell her now?
Was it truly some belated sense of fatherly love?
Or did Jeremy want something from her?
She wasn't naïve enough to believe that a man as cold and calculating as Jeremy would reveal something like this without reason. She couldn't understand his true intent and that made her more frustrated than ever but if he really planned to stage a coup… if he truly intended to replace the Emperor… Then that would benefit her as well.
