Leah (Part I)

Evie had to press her lips tight together in order not to speak and just patiently wait for Queen Beatrice's answer to Gav's question. Her eyes gleamed with anticipation as she looked expectantly at the queen. 

"I believe so… yes," Beatrice said, and Evie's eyes stretched wide with shocked surprise. She had already suspected this before but still she could not help but feel shocked. How? Vera is a human and Leah's a dark fae, right? So how could Vera be Leah?

"I believe Vera is technically Leah." Beatrice repeated and Gav creased his brows, confused by the queen's second line now. 

"Technically…? What do you mean by that?" he repeated with a low voice. He had a sudden thought when his mother mentioned the word technically. Could it be that something similar to himself had occurred with Leah? Seeing that his mother was about to continue explaining, Gav tamped down his question that he wanted to ask and listened patiently.
