Do I look like the Prince's mother?

AYAN'S POV

A moment of silence passed between us and his Majesty's face went pale.

"Did His Highness's mother used to...beat him?" I nervously asked.

"I'm not entirely sure," He solemnly answered, "He never tells me anything and it's only recently that I started visiting him to wish him goodnight as he sleeps. I've heard him talk in his sleep from time to time. However, I have looked into it trying to understand the kind of life Teon had before coming here." He said as we slowly began to walk down the hallway of the building.

"I found out his mother was rarely ever at home since she traveled around dancing. His Grandmother is often seen drinking and playing all day at pubs. I gathered that she probably neglected Teon. I also found it suspicious that she has never once asked to see Teon since she brought him here. She just took the money I gave her as an apology for what my actions of making Teon's mother an unexpected mother must have put them through."
