Chapter 161- Aria's Suffering

"Aria… is your aunt?" Aurora repeated with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yes…"

"Like… What do you mean by that? Is this a roleplay you are playing, or do you mean it…? And how… why didn't you realize it until now?" Aurora asked. "You met her a long time ago in her domain or something, right?"

"First of all, I had never seen her before in my life. Second of all, I had only heard of her in the stories, and you know that the stories are always exaggerated, right?" Zach scoffed.

"Well, yeah…" Aurora nodded.

"But in Aria's case, her stories were understated. She is much more than the stories. However, that wasn't the reason I didn't recognize her. I mean, how was I supposed to know it was my mother's sister. Besides, our first meeting was… disastrous," Zach sighed.

"Okay, so putting all that aside. When did you realize she might be your aunt?" Aurora asked curiously.

"Around the time we went to the Sea Realm," Zach replied honestly.
