"Hmm ... when the current king was young, still a prince, he left his fiancée to marry the half-elf woman he saved while he was traveling the world," said Mrs. Adler, sipping her tea. "The fianceé was the goddaughter of a powerful witch. She was furious when the girl committed suicide after she was abandoned by Prince Jared Strongmoor. The witch then cast a curse that all children born to Prince Jared Strongmoor and his wife would not live. If a child managed to survive infancy, then he would never be happy."
"Oh ..." Emmelyn was stunned. She remembered Mars saying that he was his parents' only child who managed to survive to adulthood. All his siblings either died while still in the womb or in infancy.
Apparently.. they were all cursed.
Ah.. what a poor family.
