"He is someone we can't talk about," the Great Lady answered, shaking her head. "Just know that my grandson's extraordinary powers came from Him, and He is capable of turning this entire world upside down."
Seren understood she should not ask about that person and asked, "What about his mother, the previous queen? How could she…?"
The Great Lady showed a sad smile, but her reply didn't really satisfy Seren's curiosity. "She was a nice lady who I loved like my own daughter. Esther, such a pure soul, but she was an unfortunate lass. She had to sacrifice a lot for this kingdom…"

"We used to think she was no more, but your presence here and this flower mark on your forehead had given us a hope that she is not gone but present somewhere in this world," the Great Lady replied.
Seren touched the flower mark on her forehead and asked, "This flower mark?"
