202 THE KING'S CONFESSION

Even though they already have an idea that King Artair knew Zoe's mother, they were not expecting that the King and her would be this close, enough for him to shed a tear with a slight notion that Zoe was her. 

Raigon couldn't control his urge from asking as he directed his question at the King. "What is your relationship with Lady Asha's mother, Your Majesty?"

King Artair already calmed his heavy heart as his gaze was still on Zoe who was on an adjacent chair opposite him. "She.. she is my first love."

Zoe's eyes widened in shock as she had no idea that the King and her mother were in an intimate relationship before. 

'Is that the reason why she left this island? And what about me? Am I born on this island or outside?'

Her palm flew to her chest as a destiny-crushing thought crossed her mind. "Am, Am I -"

Then he glanced at Raigon whose face was also pale and holding on the table to keep his balance.
