I Regret The Kindness I Gave You (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 96

The news that Merche had revealed the royal bloodline’s power at the gathering of the Five Houses had already spread far and wide. Elizabeth had also obtained this information.

Even more detailed reports claimed that Merche’s power had dominated all the Sacred Beasts at that very gathering.

But… could that child truly be of royal blood?

“The eldest daughter of the Ashtad family—that golden-haired, particularly lovely child, correct? …Hmm. I’m not entirely certain, but I once heard from the youngest child of that household that her elder sister wasn’t her true blood sister. They called her a monster who wouldn’t grow.”

After learning that Merche was Lud’s partner, Elizabeth sought out a noble who had previously interacted with the Ashtad family and heard a shocking tale.

“…It would be fortunate if that child truly is of royal blood….”

For now, Elizabeth felt deep relief at the certainty that Merche had no connection whatsoever to the Lupinus bloodline.

Though Genovefa’s obsessive aversion to consanguinity had reached a grotesque extreme, even she found such relations deeply distasteful.
