Chapter 147 "The King's Lost Heir"

• "Your mother and I were deeply in love, until the day my memory returned," the king began as they walked together in the quiet of the courtyard.
• "And you left her," Lena replied, her voice firm and unyielding. "Because you needed to find your people. I have heard that tale already."
• The king halted, turning to face her. "I did not abandon your mother, my dear. I left with the intention to return. Once I found my kin, I came back for her. But by then, the village had been burnt and abandoned."
