58 Resemblance (1/2)

Sitting opposite of each other, Amelia didn't answer his question. She studied his appearance from top to bottom silently.

”Tea?” She asked abruptly.

”Sure.” He wasn't thirsty, but he felt drinking something would make him feel better. Amelia's gaze was very invasive and made him very uncomfortable. He had no idea what she wants. Did she discover something about him and want to dig out more secrets?

Amelia had no idea what was going on in Leon's mind as she clapped her hand twice and a servant brought a tray with a pot of tea with some sweets and poured them a cup each.

He took his cup and drank the tea to ease his nervousness. He was expecting some impressive tea, but he was left disappointed. It was just ordinary tea. Any spirit tea in the Divine Realm was better than it by a large margin.

And then there is the legendary divine tea if some wasteful eccentrics was willing to use their divine herbs to concoct it.

”How is the tea?”

”Very ordinary.” He said bluntly. He was sure where this conversation was going. He felt like he was being reviewed to see if he was a potential son-in-law.

Amelia took some sips of her tea as she continue to observe him and become deep in thought intermittently.

Indeed it was just normal tea. There was no sugarcoating it. But she got would be showered with compliments when she ask the same question to all her previous guests. They didn't mind spouting nonsense to get in her good books, but what they didn't know was it had the opposite effect. She didn't like fake people. She was quite pleased with Leon's honesty.

”You're right. It's very ordinary.” She agreed.

”And you should not be drinking it.” Leon added.

”Oh? Why?” She was intrigue by his words. She didn't understand why it was a problem.

”I can see that you have not been sleeping well. This type of tea keeps you awake. Drinking this tea will not help you, but instead aggravate your sleeping problems.”

”Ah...you see there is a reason for that and I'm stuck in a helpless situation. However... you might be able to help me solve the problem.” Amelia stated. The search for the prince had bumped into a dead end. Leon was probably her last hope at finding the missing prince.

She couldn't put a finger on what it was so she did not want to jump conclusions so quickly. She didn't want to hand a fake son over to her sworn sister. It would make the queen lose faith in her.

Leon had started divine practice and the act of remoulding his body so whatever she was trying to find in him, she would not be able to so easily due to the changes his body had already undergone.

”Is that why you wish to speak with me?” Leon asked. Did the Duke's family already figured out he was an exceptional doctor? So she hope for me to cure her insomnia? That doesn't seem right. Only a select few knew he was a doctor. He seems to be forgetting something important. But her next words unveiled his doubts.

”Yes, I heard you grew up in an orphanage until you were 5.”

Leon nodded. So it was matters relating to the missing prince.

”Do you still keep in contact with anyone from that orphanage?”

”No. Since I was adopted, there was no further contact.” Leon shook his head. His childhood memories were blurry and not much could be remembered.

Amelia was disappointed by his answer, but didn't give up.

”Was there anyone else in the orphanage that was born in the same year as you?”

”I seem to have been the youngest...? The others were at least 2 years older.” Leon's tried hard to recall. He couldn't help but feel the doubt in his heart grow bigger.

Born in same year and have the same circumstance as the missing prince. He had pushed the matter behind him because he was satisfied with what he had. He did not want to be conceited to think he was the one out of so many orphans and orphanages. The bigger the expectation, the bigger disappointment.

But now that the matter was brought up again, he felt incredulous about everything. Why was he reborn on such a barren land? Why did his memories awaken? Why was he equipped with such overwhelming advantage in life? Why does humanity have such a bleak future on this world?

One had to know that in the Divine Realm, humanity was one of the ruling races.
