Suddenly I became a Mother

Chapter 32: Best Stories

Claude's mother Leah was a commoner and she didn't know how she met the emperor or how she became pregnant when he brought her to the Imperial Palace.

Even the relationship between her and the mother of Felix, Duchess Cornelia Robane.

Felix's family, the Ducal House Robane supported Claude when he was the Second Prince and even still supported him after he became the Emperor.

After all, did it shock her when she found out that Anastacius was betrothed with Ingrid?

Her adoptive grandmother.

"That's what I wonder too sometimes, I mean your grandma was very pretty in chapter 101. I have a feeling the Late Emperor does resemble Anastacius's facial features. Your dad got his hairstyle from your grandma" Nayeli says showing her a picture of her paternal grandmother Leah.

"Wow, that's my grandma? She looked so pretty despite how fragile and sick she was" Athanasia said after seeing her and she looked very different from Claude.

After all, most of the Obelian Imperials possess golden hair and jewel-blue eyes.

Surprisingly, Athanasia and Jennette inherited their mothers's appearance.

"I wonder what was her name"-Athanasia

"In the book of imperial family's marriages and lovers, her name was Leah"-Nayeli

"Leah? Wow, that's a pretty name despite it means "weary" or "delicate". Maybe, I should ask Papa about her..."-Athanasia

"Despite he didn't have a happy childhood, he did have a loving mother," Nayeli said, knowing Claude's mother was a loving mother to him.

Thanks to Ingrid who uncovered the truth that Leah was poisoned by Empress Irene after the birth of Claude.

And also, the murders of the Late Emperor and the Late Empress.

But still, the relationship between her with the Emperor and the House of Robane was confusing and a mystery.

"It's probably because Duchess Robane was close friends with your paternal grandmother" Athanasia and Nayeli turn around and see Lucas who is reading one of the manga Nayeli brought.

It was One Piece.

"What? How do you know that?"-Athanasia

"Do you forget that I am the Great Lucas? The Magician of the Black Tower and the most handsome magician alive? I use my status to get some information about your paternal grandmother. It turns out she was the daughter of a lowly knight and a lady from the gentry class before her family fell hard. She grew up in the territory of the Robane Family. She was close with the future duchess and young duke Robane"-Lucas

"The Emperor's mother was part of the gentry? Wow, I didn't see it coming and had a similar background to Pride and Prejudice"-Nayeli

"She was before her family fell hard when her parents passed away due to diseases. From what I read, she was the assistant of a pharmacist and rookie nurse. It was around the time when Obelia was at war with the enemy kingdom. I think that's where she met your grandfather. I heard he was excellent with swordsmanship and military strategies "-Lucas

"I didn't know that...did she have a family name?"-Athanasia

"She was part of the gentry, so yeah. Her full name was Leah Hadas" Lucas explained before he titled his head by seeing Luffy's Gum Gum abilities.

He wonders if the Devil's Fruits descended from the World Tree's fruits.

Athanasia was surprised when she finally heard her paternal grandmother's full name.
