Allegiances [7]

The masses were immensely curious about Melania, perhaps even more than August and Valerie.

After all, those two's origins couldn't be traced. They were commoners, but they didn't come from places close enough to the central region for them to be registered or investigable. 

Melania came from Arragon. She was in the slums, sure, but she'd been working in and around the city for many years.

People were able to understand who she was and where she came from. They had access to almost her entire history.

It wasn't a problem for Melania, since she was able to hide on the training island just like her friends, but her family wasn't safe.

Melania had a mother and two young siblings. They had been moved to a better area of Arragon using the money August gifted her, but what difference did that make?

In the grand scheme of things, they were simply too vulnerable.
