"I thought the rumor that our family had received the blessings of the goddess is an open secret. Every child of our family was granted a wish from the goddess.
An oracle even confirmed that an heir could even ask for the help of a goddess in winning the crown. Or worse, uniting the two divided empires.
They think Rowan was granted a wish too." he laughed as if it was an absurdity but her brows creased. Why was he making fun of it?
"So, it is a lie?" but more than that, why was he sharing all that with her?
They were not even on friendly terms and forgot about sharing the dark secrets of each other.
"No! A true heir will be granted a wish. My mother was brought from another empire, she was one of the pawns of his majesty to use the wish. But she was not able to convince me or father to let her use that wish." his face grimaced as if he was disgusted just thinking about it when she looked away.
