"It might be insensitive, but how do you know your mother's family name?"
Basil moved his gaze to Iliana who had just asked the question. He hadn't even told that Pacifer was his mother's family name, however she had dare to say it. She didn't bother to hide her knowledge regarding it.
"I will like to talk about my mother with you later, Iliana." Basil looked at Iliana with a knowing gaze. She nodded, and Basil continued, "As for your question, although not much, someone had told me about her."
"Who was this— nevermind. We will talk about this when we are alone."
Iliana prevented herself from talking about the matter any further, because Lawson was still there. It would be rude to talk about someone's privacy in public, and Lawson completely agreed with Iliana's decision.
"I have my own assumption. However, I am not really sure. Do you plan to be a Noble once again?" Lawson stared at Basil curiously.
Basil answered stoically, "I don't."
