After hours of discussions, a plan solidified. Anna and Wilem were quite nervous. After all, what they were doing was a bit of a rebellion against Illyan, infringing on its interest and taking it over on their own.
"Anna, there's something you need to know before we commit to this," Wilem said after a while. He had been wondering when to say this, but now that they were really going to execute a plan soon, he knew he had to blurt it out soon.
"I…I found out why my parents hated you so much, and it's not just because you're a hindrance to the marriage with Vanya," he said.
