For a long while, the room remained quiet.
Then, Trisha began to tell Lilith the story of her mother.
Lilith's biological mother was named Hathaway.
Like Lilith, she was a human.
However, by some incredible chance, Hathaway had awakened and inherited
the ancient and pure Star Bloodline of the Starborn Clan.
But because she was human,
even with such a noble bloodline,
she suffered discrimination and rejection within the clan.
Trisha and Hathaway were half-sisters, sharing the same father,
and the two had always been very close.
Their father—Lilith's grandfather—
was a respected elder in the Starborn Clan.
Yet under immense pressure from the clan's conservative factions,
he had been forced to banish Hathaway
to a remote, low-magic world far from the clan's territory.
Hearing her mother's story, Lilith fell silent for a long time.
Her voice trembled slightly when she finally asked,
"Aunt Trisha… where is my mother now?"
"Why did she leave us?"
