——This could be considered a pleasant surprise.
Aiwass never expected to learn the true identity of his biological mother so easily...
Annie de Vandom.
This should be Aiwass's mother's true name before she got married.
If Annie were still alive, she would probably be in her forties now.
Arsene is now about forty... and Angelique is eight years older than Arsene, which means she should be almost fifty. She should be Annie's sister, in other words, Aiwass's aunt.
The current Duke of Vandome is an old man. Aiwass doesn't know exactly how old he is... But since Angelique is the second daughter, he should be at least seventy.
Yet the Abigail that Aiwass saw looks only about seventeen or eighteen!
"How many children does the Duke have?"
Aiwass couldn't help but ask: "Generally speaking, shouldn't the fertility of Upper Transcendents be weakened?"
