Tiel blinked, unable to understand Illum's words. What is he saying? Is Illum joking?
'The last head of the familyâs son?'
It was said that Everard's family had been wiped out a long time ago. If that's the case, it would mean that the head of Everard's family must have died back then, so how could his son still be alive now?
And then there's Karl.
Tiel shifted her gaze to Karlâs youthful face. He didnât seem to be much younger than Tiel. If anything, he looked to be around eight years old.
But this boy is supposed to be the son of the head of a family that was destroyed long ago? Illumâs words had too many parts that didnât make sense.
It wasnât just Tiel who couldnât understand Illumâs words. Karl, too, was staring at him with a confused expression.
It seemed this was the first time Karl was hearing this, even though it was about him.
"Uncle! What do you mean by that? What nonsense...?â
"Karl, be quiet and listen," Illum gently scolded him. Karl opened his mouth as if to say more but then fell silent.
Ferdie, who had been quietly watching, suddenly intervened.@@novelbin@@
