"Oh? So you've already met her?" His tone carried a hint of disappointment, because this only meant Silvia had gone behind his back to meet Hera.
"Don't you remember her? She's the girl you used to play with in the garden when you were little. And remember the one I told you about before? The daughter of your parents' assistants. They died with your mother and father in that plane crash… I've raised her ever since, but I never officially adopted her," he explained gently.
Then he began recounting the details he hadn't yet told Hera.
"When your mother and father died, along with their respective assistants, who were Silvia's parents, she was left completely orphaned. No one from her extended family wanted to take her in."
"Instead, they only cared about what her parents left behind: the insurance payout, the assets they'd earned working under your parents. It was a substantial amount for a regular household."
