Matriarch

That was it. Anastasia had laid bare the whole truth. Her story didn't have conspiracies or insights into the Nak but explained Khan's background. He was a bastard of the Nognes family.

Learning to have a noble lineage would be a big deal for almost anyone, but Khan was different. He had wanted to know simply to confirm the many clues gathered throughout his missions. As for actual actions, he didn't plan to do anything.

"Happy now?" Anastasia questioned. "For what it's worth, you have a lot in common with your mother. I don't consider it good, but maybe it will work differently since you come from a different background."

It didn't take a genius to understand Anastasia's words. Elizabeth's wild behavior was problematic with her noble baggage, but Khan was different. The network saw his daring and brave efforts in a good light since achievements accompanied them. Without the noble's background, he was nothing more than a successful soldier.
