Chapter 962: Meeting Her Elven Family
"It seems this is it, please have a safe trip, Rowena," Raphael said "I wish you all the best"
"And the same to you," Rowena replied with a sweet smile
She then looked over at Prince Jadeith who already opened a portal, it revealed a canopy of thick lush trees along with beautiful fireflies that lit up the place
Her uncle waited patiently for her, Rowena took a step forward, hesitated, and then turned around to say one last thing—but Raphael was already gone
He siht
Rowena's eyes widenedup in the corner of her eyes
"Rowena?" Prince Jadeith called out to her
"Co" Rowena brushed away the tears and then quickly walked after her uncleThe two of them stepped into a portal and arrived in the elven realm
Similar to the ic, but instead of water, it was densely populated by trees and other flora and fauna
"Welcome home" Prince Jadeith smiled kindly
"This this is it?" Roas surprised However, she didn't know about the culture of elves
"Oh, not this" Prince Jadeith chuckled and then swept a hand, the large trees bent to the side and revealed a beautiful palace in a short distance "There's your hohts before we get there"
Rowena smiled and nodded slowly "Thank you"
Prince Jadeith was thoughtful to his niece, but a short walk to clear her head was not enoughWhen the two of thereeted her and Prince Jadeith respectfully, guards and members of the court
Since Rowena didn't know anyone, she kept close to Prince Jadeith However, every now and then, soreet himShe was in such a new environ was beautiful but unfamiliar
"I would like to introduce to you, hter" Prince Jadeith exchanged quick pleasantries with another elf before he and Rowena continued to walk "Apologies, I've been gone for a while and formalities are formalities, but where was I—oh look"
The two of them paused in the hallway filled with a dozen of portrait paintingsEach one of theant and composed in each portrait
Prince Jadeith's portrait was also aaze followed the paintings one by one as Jadeith explained who they were However, it felt odd, to see so many faces that she didn't know and have any attachestured to a picture of a beautiful wo, Rowena's steps halted She could tell who she was She looked a lot like her
"This is your mother, Elren The resemblance between the two of you is extraordinary, isn't it? I knew you were hers right away"
Rowena looked at the somber and wistful expression on Prince Jadeith's face before she turned again to look at the woave birth to her She was a petite woman with a beautiful face that was similar to hers, but her hair was silver
For a moment, Roas silent She looked at the face of Elren staring back at her and hoped she would feel so
She didn't
Roished that shethat Prince Jadeith had over his sister—but all Rowena saas so er Roould have probably felt soure When she was alone and sad and in fear of what else her father would do to bully her Elren never came Not even in her dreams
She had no connection whatsoever to that woman Rowena didn't even knohat she looked like because Draco didn't keep any pictures of her in the royal palace
Now as Rowena finally cah the picture she didn't feel anything
It was like looking at the ier
They did share a lot of physical similarities, but that was it There was no actual connection and that uilty
"She she's beautiful," Rowena said
"Indeed, and so are you" Prince Jadei
th sighed but thendown the hallway "Your grandparents were a bit displeased to find out that your father hid the truth of your existence from us, but they're excited to meet you"
