“Yes, Colin Tanner,” Xylle said softly, her head lowered, her eyes glimmering

with a touch of sadness. “After we returned from Yeternia, the Tanner family

took me back to Zovince. That’s when I met my uncle, Teddy, He was very

kind to me, always wearing a gentle smile. It was he who told me that I was

the daughter of his late brother, Colin.”

Emmanuel didn’t interrupt her story, even though he didn’t believe Teddy was

“Twenty years ago, there was a tragedy within the Tanner family,” Xylie

continued. “My father was killed under mysterious circumstances, but before

haven’t had to go to school or work, and though I’ve been watched most of

the time, I’ve managed to learn a lot about the Tanner family. I’ve heard

whispers of what you just said, but I’ve kept my own opinion. Uncle Teddy has

shown me photos and records, proving that he and my father had a clase

relationship. He’s always been so kind to me that I find it hard to believe those

rumors.”
