I didn't expect it to still be that Cao scoundrel... oh, it's Prime Minister Cao!
Philia's mother, Lady Aisst, Herbert had met before. She was indeed a beautiful woman with irresistible charm.
But, isn't there something off about this?
Herbert looked at Philia, hesitating to speak for quite some time.
"I know what you want to ask."
Philia's face was expressionless, and she spoke lightly:
"He knew my mother first. Even when Grand Mage Finn was still just a Wizard Apprentice, he was already pursuing my mother. In terms of sequence... my father came later."
"...Oh! Well, he was quite persistent, um, no, quite dedicated? Um, that doesn't seem right either."
Seeing Philia's expression grow colder, Herbert raised his hands helplessly and asked, "Does His Majesty know about this?"
Does Reinhardt know he has such a powerful rival?
"He should know... right?"
Philia was also somewhat uncertain about this. She didn't really want to involve herself in her parents' private matters.
