Father and Daughter's Probing

"Arthur, you said you were from the lakeside outskirts of the capital, and that you were raised by the Lady of the Lake since childhood? This lake west of the city?"

After hearing Mordred's introduction, Leon felt a storm of conflicting emotions rise within him. A strange light flickered in his eyes, yet his expression remained perfectly composed.

To be absolutely certain, Leon looked at Arthur, wanting to hear how the person involved described it himself.

Mordred faced Arthur, but all of his attention remained fixed on his father in the corner of his eye.
