We are Family (2)
"I know that you have knowledge of your lineage, princess. You don't need to be wary of me because we are family." Prince Gladiolus takes a sip of his tea casually.
My eyes went wide in surprise. 'What did he mean by that?' I thought.
As if prince Gladiolus read my mind, he answered. "It is literally what I meant. You and I are both from the royal blood line of Atlantia. Your mother Leticia, was my mother Patricia's twin sister." He gave me a smile as confirmation.
"So you mean... we are cousins." I tried to hide my surprise.
"Yes, we are." Prince Gladiolus said.
"Then, how did you become the crown prince of Jennova?" I asked in curiosity.
"It is like how you became a princess of Alvannia." Prince Gladiolus said. "But the difference is, my mother became the queen while your mother just became a concubine."
I was processing the information Gladiolus was giving me. 'So I still have a blood relative.' I thought.
