The remark carried a meaning that most people at the table could not fully understand.
To some, it was simply a pointed response to Darius's insistence that women should stay out of court affairs. Others understood the second implication: Callista herself was a Queen Consort, yet she had sent her own infant baby away because she had been born without the qualifications expected of a royal princess.
Callista remained silent, her expression difficult to read.
But there was another meaning behind Kiara's words, one that only she herself understood. Callista possessed the strength of a Demigod, yet that strength had not prevented her from becoming helpless in certain matters concerning her own family. Kiara's remark had touched upon that contradiction as well.
No one else at the table knew that was what she had meant.
Alexander, seeing the conversation heading in a direction he had no desire to pursue, decided to end it before another argument broke out.
