Ruby's grip on his arm remained firm. Her soothing voice flowing to his ears every once in a while, ''Esme is still with him. Compose yourself.''
Jeremiah laughed, ''Adrian Reis? The true heir of the Nevesray. The other boy is an illegitimate child while Esme…'' his gaze wandered back to Rezeph as he continued, ''...is unrelated to the royal family of Nevesray.''
