Chapter 224: My Father 

“Are you telling me to leave this place and stay together with Queen Mother?”

“Yes. I received requests from mother to move to the Royal Villa since long ago already.”

“That’s correct, but…”

Rihannan remembered in the mind the things that the Queen Mother had done in the past. She couldn’t understand why he would be telling her to move to the Royal Villa when she knows the truth of what she had done.

“Although it feels like my suggestion is quite sudden to you, but I wish for you to just follow them.”

The question ‘what is the problem’ came up all the way to the tip of her tongue, but Rihannan swallowed it back. She had caused a ruckus in the past saying she’s going to the Royal Villa, so to say she doesn’t want to go now would make her look foolish.

“… All right then. I’ll do that.”

As Rihannan obidiently answered, a relieved expression flashed across Igor’s face for a moment.

“I understand well that your sentiment towards my mother isn’t all that good due to what I’ve told you before. However, the truth is that the mother that exists right now truly cares about you.”

“Of course I won’t show that my opinion changed about her. You won’t need to worry about that part.”

Although the truth about the Queen Mother was definitely shocking to her, but in anycase that incident didn’t occur in this lifetime. It has been a while since she learned that truth, and Rihannan’s thoughts changed to thinking that she was glad that the queen mother no longer has any real power and won’t be able to even think about committing such horrific act.

“When should I head to the Royal Villa?”

“You should leave tomorrow immediately. I’ve already informed mother about your pregnancy. All the things you’d need should be already prepared over there.”

“… I see.”

It was a bit of an awakward moment for her. Since she was trying to go to the Royal Villa but was blocked by Basil in the past, she should be happy that she can now go there with no problem, but she didn’t. Hearing him say that she needs to leave immediately tomorrow made her feel as if she was being kicked out.

She remembered that it was a similar kind of mood when she left for the Royal Villa in the past. The entirety of the palace grounds were stirring with rumours. Whenever she asked what happened to the maids, they would just say that it’s nothing. Igor also avoided talking about it telling her to worry about her baby instead. And just like now, he suddenly suggested her to stay in the Royal Villa.

It was a kind of a Deja Vu. A sensation she felt since she had experienced this before.

Rihannan couldn’t shake away the feeling that even though there certainly was differences in her past life and this life, but that there was also things vaguely similar about it. When Igor took away the Queen Mother’s power over the nation, he was simply a little too late, but all in all had achieved that in the past life. It was the same for the fact that Leticia desired him, as well as that she was being sent to the Royal Villa as if being kicked out…

“… I just have one question.”

He blinked his eyes several times. His expression looked as if he never expected her to ask a question. He actually looked a little happy about it.

“Go ahead. I’ll answer anything.”

“Previously you said that you found the feather 3 years after I had died. Was my father still… Alive at that time?”
