He Looks Like His Father!?

When Drayce and Seren entered the ice cave, only Evanthe was present inside, waiting for them. She welcomed the two with a light smile and Seren could not help but observe her with a keen gaze. 

This woman in front of her who introduced herself as her protector was the mother of her husband, her mother-in-law, Esther Ivanov. The woman greatly cherished by Great Lady Theodora and the disreputed queen who had sacrificed herself in the dark for Megaris. 

Aside from admiration, Seren suddenly found herself growing cautious like any young wife would when facing her in-laws. She recalled their first meeting, how bold and careless she acted earlier, even raising her voice and questioning her mother-in-law blatantly. 

'Did I make her unhappy? I did sound rude…'

"Please have a seat," Evanthe gestured to the two.
