Confrontation

"What the heck does she mean?" Kim Su Won looked at the letter in her hand and frowned.

Aaron had sent her an urgent letter letting her know what had happened back at the palace and that her mother was in jail. He had expanded on what all he had heard, including something about them not knowing if she was duke's real daughter.

Aaron was very clear about what could and what could not hurt the girl. He understood that this being not her real family, she was not very attached to them. It sometimes made him wonder if she genuinely considered him a friend or not, if she was able to relate to the people in this era or not and she felt any connection at all to him or others.

Anyway, since he knew her heart about her family, he did not hesitate to disseminate this information to her. He also let her know how the queen had asked her minions to spread the news that Emmeline Whittemore had been collaborating with commoners to help them in their trade.
