After a brief pause, she seemed somewhat unnaturally to turn her head away and softly said,
"Perhaps... you can call me — Mother."
Though they had somewhat expected it, upon hearing Zehtti's words, the expressions of Anna and her brother still changed repeatedly.
'If the powerful witch before them was truly their mother, why had she never visited them, and why had their father never mentioned her?
Moreover, why hadn't Zehtti, so powerful, come to rescue their father on Pahama Island?'
The siblings' lips moved, but they still couldn't bring themselves to utter that title.
Zehtti didn't press them and continued speaking as she turned around,
"Let's go, I have many things I want to ask you..."
"Your Excellency, Zehtti." At this moment, Colin suddenly spoke, quickly explaining,
"Sorry to disturb you at this time, but I am not a member of the Basa family. I happened to come here via the transmission array and have some urgent matters to attend to. May I be allowed to leave?"
