Confession (part 2)

11th July 1574

"You don't know it, but you started with the worst type of question that you could. And the answer to it, is yes and no."

Twisting my lips in an ugly line, I had to stop myself from huge warfare of thoughts that was instantly born in my head. Rather than overcomplicating the situation by giving the elaborate explanation, I decided to go with the simplest answer I could.

"You see, if we go by the bloodline, then I was still of noble orgin. The family that I was born in traced its origins all the way back to the Tarnowski household. You could say, that right now, I'm one of my own ancestors. As for whether I was a noble… You see, in the future where I grew up, there was no such thing as nobility anymore."

Taking a deep breath, I lightly pushed Elia away, so that rather than speaking towards the emptiness of the room, I could at least face her while explaining this complex situation.
