"Your biological father was named Julio Alexander. He wasn't a noble, but the son of a small-town poet. He also graduated from the theological academy you now attend."
Bishop Mathers's opening words immediately stunned Iver. "And your mother, Anne Alexander, was once an Iris noble. She gave up her family name and eloped to Avalon."
...There was far too much information in that statement.
Iver was struck speechless right from the start.
"Anne was my close friend, and once my roommate as well. We came to Avalon together back then, and we had already been classmates in Iris."
Just then, a gentle female voice carrying an air of mystery sounded from behind Iver.
Iver turned at the sound and saw someone he had never met, yet who felt incomparably familiar—
She had long, thick black wavy hair that fell to her waist. Her skin was fair, her breasts full, and her features deep and defined. She looked somewhat like an elf, yet also carried the flavor of the Parthian Ancient Kingdom. But what left the deepest impression were her jade-like pupils, which seemed to shine with the radiance of a starry sky.
She wore a black gauze dress and walked barefoot over the soft carpet in her home. Jade bracelets hung from both her wrists and ankles.
This was Mrs. Mina, the manager of the in-game shop—the one responsible for card draws, limited banners, various bundles, discounts, and promotions.
Standing beside the younger version of Mathers, the two looked exceptionally well matched. Though one was forty-six and the other thirty-five, both looked like young people in their twenties. Time had left no trace upon them whatsoever.
Iver did not remember her ever appearing in the story. But he could guarantee that every player remembered her vividly.
