Ian didn't answer William's question right away. Instead, she recalled the first time she met the red-headed shepherd who just happened to be going to the same temple as them. Back then, she didn't know why she felt irritated whenever she saw him.
After pondering about it for a while, Ian might have become irritated when she saw the collar on William's neck. Just like Elves, other humanoids like Beastkins, and the more exotic creatures were sold as slaves.
Ian was half Human and half Nymph. Her mother was a Mermaid, while her father was a Human mage that specialized in Earth Magic. Although such unions weren't rare, they were frowned upon by many.
Just like the Half-Elves.
