Chapter 204

It would seem to be so unlikely and strange for a King to fly all the way from Blackmount to Raven just to see his father's bastard. Bastards were considered unnatural and beasts in nature, they were always neglected and left out to the wild for vultures to have them. 

Most of bastards from any point of the world were considered low of birth, they were unworthy of carrying their father's last names or to inherit anything of their father's belonging. It was custom for kings and lords to have bastards, King Taelin himself had ten bastards and many more which he never remembered or even cared to. Not even once did Castellan or Ambrose partook in getting to know them and nor did they try. 

Aprophil asked that question while knowing very well that Artemis already knew what he was or otherwise he wouldn't be there. It was a tricky question honestly, Aprophil stood still waiting to see how will Artemis respond.
