Whether it was Astoria or Henrietta, they quickly realized the excited imperial guard's strange choice of words.
It would have been understandable if the imperial guard had said true heir or legitimate heir.
After all, Astoria was the firstborn of Siegfreid Braveheart, the last king of the old Holy Knight Kingdom.
However, the imperial guard had used the word "truest."
What on earth was the truest heir? An heir that was even more authentic than the true heir? What does that even mean?
More importantly, Astoria had been severely injured and taken away for recovery before she could even set foot into the holy city.
Given she had been away from the Holy Knight Empire for three hundred years, the number of people that could still recognize her shouldn't exceed the number of fingers on one's hand.
And yet, the imperial guard recognized her as the truest heir to the imperial throne without addressing her name.
