Miles froze for a moment, then almost instinctively asked, “How do you know that?”

Raven did not answer him, instead she continued, “Lionel promised to release your granddaughter once you killed a thousand enemies–didn’t he?”

Miles frowned. “How do you know all this?”

Seeing how Miles did not deny it, Raven’s gaze held a flicker of doubt.

“You and your granddaughter… don’t seem all that close,” Raven remarked.

From the memories she had inherited, Raven knew that Miles had divorced Margaret shortly after their son, Raven’s father,

was born.

Although Miles had provided Margaret with a generous monthly allowance, Margaret had strictly forbidden him from getting too close to their son.

The original Raven had no memories of Miles at all.

She could not understand why Miles would go to such lengths for a granddaughter he barely knew.

When Raven asked the question, sorrow instantly flooded Miles’s tired eyes. So consumed was Miles by grief that he momentarily forgot to question how Raven knew about his strained ties with his granddaughter.

After a pause, he let out a bitter laugh.

He said, “Five years ago, my only son gave up his life to save mine. His last thoughts were of his wife and their two children.

“I was going to apply for retirement and go back to Bastion to take care of them. But before I could, I received the news- my granddaughter was arrested for murder.”

Raven raised an eyebrow. “A chance? You mean… killing a thousand enemies on the battlefield?”
