The Moment Of Truth

Alaric's answer made Lauriel feel relieved.

"Do you really believe me?" he asked in a shaky voice. His face showed relief and he began to smile when he saw Alaric nodded reluctantly. "I really want you both. I didn't know about any of you for almost a hundred years ..."

Alaric frowned at his father's last sentence. He did not understand what Lauriel meant just now. Both?

Aleksis immediately realized, just as Lauriel did not know Alaric was his son, Alaric did not know that when he was born, he had a twin brother.

"My mother died after giving birth to me ... What do you mean - both?" Alaric asked in confusion. "Did anyone claim to be my mother's child to you?"

Aleksis and Lauriel looked at each other. They didn't understand either. What was clear was DNA testing had been done and Nicolae had been proven to be Lauriel's flesh and blood.
