The Bond Between Mother and Child

Heles City, Stronghold Kingdom

(Nevare's POV)

"Anna, can you tell me about your husband, Moku?"

Although Nevare cursed inwardly at hearing that question, the smile on her face remained. "Of course, Mother!" she replied enthusiastically, like a daughter eager to share a story about her new best friend.

"Before I begin telling you about my encounter with Moku, I want to first recount what happened on the day I was kidnapped," Nevare started her tale.

She began with her conversation with Tristan, who had invited her to hunt red bear cubs.

When Nevare described her joy at the opportunity to obtain a Mana Potion, Cila and Artur smiled too, but their expressions soon shifted to sympathy.

As she recounted her meeting with Bon and Jon, Cila's brow furrowed with worry, while Artur clenched his fists in anger.
