"Then what happened?" asked Emmelyn.
She could already guess that Mrs. Adler was right again. The curse happened and it was caused by King Jared's past.
Poor children, Emmelyn thought. She felt very sorry for Mars' siblings who all died as the result of the curse. They were all innocent but had to suffer such grim consequences.
"My grandfather the king had no choice at all because at that time my mother and father were already married. The king also couldn't reject his son's bride when they arrived at the palace because my mother was already pregnant. I was my parents' first child. Maybe that's why I survived until I become an adult. The curse had not been cast when my mother was pregnant with me," Mars explained.
"So... who cast the curse?" asked Emmelyn in a choked voice. "Is it Lady Marielle?"
