Chapter 41 - Anything Grand

Mona stopped whatever she was doing as she stood there, as stiff as a rock and as hard as that of a newly frozen ice cube, it was like she was cemented in place after she just heard what the past Grand General uttered out of his mouth. "I-I am sure that you are her, you definitely are Amaranth Ellis, aren't you?" Marcelius Levkan doubled down on what he said earlier. Mona could not even open her mouth to retort something back to him. "I do not ever wish to be called by that name when I have done nothing for the Ellis blood line, I have not done anything, I am merely a specter, a shadow, nothing, a survivor and an orphan." She said to herself as she panicked and the emotions and pain that came with being associated by that past name of hers came rushing and surging in.
