I knew I shouldnât do this, but I couldnât help feeling curious. Itâs like even though I was going to work tomorrow, I wanted to start another game. I knew I shouldnât ask, but I had a sudden urge to dig into it.
âI can tell you if you want to know, but once you know the truth, I wonât take responsibility for what happens afterward.â
Look at her. She seduced me first, but she said she wouldnât take responsibility. Thatâs funny. Why wouldnât she carry the same burden she had placed on my shoulder? However, if I thought about it here, I wouldnât get to hear what she wouldnât tell. I certainly didnât want that. Oh, life was truly a series of hardships.
Yeah, even if all the terms and conditions on the sites were fraudulent, people would still press the âagreeâ button. After all, they hadnât read it in the first place.
âI want to know.â
Layla smiled after hearing my reply. Her smile felt a little strange as if she were laughing contently knowing that her trap had caught me. Was this a trap?
âLady Jereina, the daughter of ice from the North.â
Huh? I automatically tilted my head after hearing what she had said before I even thought of anything else. What did she just say?
âThatâs how everyone called her.â
âWhy ice?â
Layla nodded. I couldnât push her hastily because she seemed to be struggling to dig through her memories.
âShe was a cold woman. She didnât get along with anyone.â
If I understood this correctly, she was telling me that they treated my mother like an outcast.
When I heard that she didnât get along with anyone, it suddenly occurred to me that she stayed at Ecelone alone to give birth. After all, she didnât have anyone she could rely on around her.
âNobody knew that she would die after giving birth to you.â
However, that was something my father didnât know. Thatâs why he only realized she was pregnant right before she gave birth to me. I was curious about needless things. Why did she give birth to me? Did my father rape her? Itâs kind of weird to try so desperately to protect a child created from a rape incident. Was my mom a weird person? Oh, that couldnât be true.
Layla smiles and continues her word to solve my question.
âThe Emperor never sleeps woman unless that woman asks him first.â
Huh? What are you talking about? I was surprised. He never sleeps women until they ask him to do so? Which means, my mother asked the Emperor to sleep with her first.
