Maggie froze on the spot.
"A noble?" She whispered. "I am?"
"Yes!"
Adam shook her slightly. "How can you even doubt your noble lineage? Do you take your parents for fools? There is a reason why they accept you into their home!"
"Uncle, who are my parents?" Maggie quickly asked. "Who are they???"
Adam shook his head regretfully.
"I am sorry, Maggie, I don't know. All I know is that you are no farmer's daughter. You were left to the Blanchard family's care because your biological parents cannot take care of you..."
His arms fell from her shoulder.
"I am deeply sorry."
Maggie almost dropped onto the floor then and there, but Adam quickly steadied her on her feet.
"It must be shocking, to find out this way," he murmured as he led Maggie toward a couch. "I wish I could be of more help."
Maggie pressed a hand against her forehead.
"Is there no clue at all?" She whispered. "Will I never find out my real identity?"
