I Refuse To Be A Character In A Novel - Chapter 44 Part 2

After expressing his curiosity to his history teacher, Jonas was introduced to his maternal family for the first time.

His maternal grandfather, Robert Tersia, was known as the late king’s knight.

A self-made man who had climbed up the ladder of ranks with his sword skills and  his unique magic abilities.

Robert was said to have been chosen by the king personally among the countless number of warriors to be his knight, and he served the king earnestly until his last moments.

As such, Robert was recorded in the history book of noble warriors.

Though he had no portrait, his teacher described him to have had rare black hair and captivating purple eyes just like his mother.

His maternal grandmother, on the other hand, had clear blue eyes and shiny golden hair.

As the only daughter of one of the wealthiest counties in Rasmodia, Dina Liebert lived a glamorous life and was now married to the only Marquis of the Kingdom.

As he learned more about her family, Jonas became slightly confused.

His mother was not a woman with no roots like the maids made her out to be.

She was the daughter of an honorable knight and the granddaughter of a wealthy man.

Even if she wasn’t related to him by blood, Erna was registered as the Marquis’ only daughter and thus recognized as one of the noblest women in the kingdom.

The Heissenteins, a family with a history that was longer than that of the royal bloodline, was at the top of the Aristocracy hierarchy.

Their ancestor, who was of a noble family from the empire, founded the kingdom together with the first king, who was said to have been an unnamed warrior at that time.

From then on, a series of accomplishments followed, and a Heissentein always stood as the right-hand man of the king.

When magic disappeared and people revolted to replace the royal family, it was none other than her family who stood by the royal family.

They were also the queen’ family, which meant that the next king, if born, would be of their bloodline.

Despite the great lineage, status, and wealth, his mother never spoke of her family.

That was the reason Jonas hesitated to ask.

Perhaps her childhood wasn’t all that pleasant.

Perhaps her mother didn’t care for her like how she never cared for him.

As the days passed, Jonas grew even more attached to his mother, and the questions he once had were washed away by the pleasant memories.

He no longer wondered about her family.

Because now, her family was here.

By his side and his father’s.
