"Rowan, I don't think this is possible," Rosalind said at last.
He lifted his gaze toward her. "When Verity and I used to talk, this topic came up several times," Rosalind continued. "Alaric was intimate with countless women throughout the years, yet there was never any mention of a child. We used to wonder about it because with the way people spoke about him, you would think he would've had several children by now."
Her brows furrowed as she thought about it. "There were even rumors that perhaps he couldn't father children at all."
The room fell silent for a moment. "What if this is simply false information?" she asked.
Rowan exhaled slowly. "Even false information can create chaos if it isn't handled properly," he replied.
His gaze shifted toward Cedric. "How did you learn about this?"
Cedric straightened immediately. "I overheard some nobles discussing it in private. They were speaking quietly, but I managed to learn enough to understand what they were talking about."
