"I used to be a royal knight, and I dabbled in a bit of magic too," Zafira said, taking a sip of the wine. "But before all that, I was just some simple girl living here. My parents weren't really special either."
"Not special?" Rael raised a brow. "If they managed to raise someone like you, then they're more than special."
Zafira giggled. "My mother used to be a cook, and my father was a boutique owner. I know it seems a little mundane, but they're a bit higher up on the food chain now."
"Oh yeah?" Rael said. "Even higher than you?"
"Yes, much higher than me." Zafira smiled. "My mother became the Sovereign Queen. Basically someone who can control the other queens of this continent however she wishes. My mom's currently the one who secretly helped me avoid the war. I'm really grateful to her."
From a cook to a Sovereign Queen... well damn, Rael whistled. "So is your dad also something similar then? A Sovereign King perhaps?"
