Chapter 104 Consummating Love

• The lost empress had compelled her husband to travel back in time, to ensure he believed everything she told him. She observed as the emperor stared at the eggs in his hands, struggling to accept her words. Did this mean he had no true heir? Was that why he found it so challenging to bond with Kendrick and Baduf as a father, only succeeding when he ascended to the throne? How had he not uncovered the truth sooner?
• "Because I infused them with your essence at every opportunity, thus deceiving you as they bore your scent," the empress responded, as if divining her husband's thoughts.
• The emperor sensed something awry in her explanation. While it addressed his concerns about his supposed sons, did it mean Erick was genuinely his grandchildren? And Lotha? He had felt a connection both times he had designated his grandchildren as primary heirs. If Kendrick wasn't his son, how had their ancestors acknowledged Erick and Lotha?
