@DARLINGBEAR nope, that was dargon boy's stepmom. Likely, he was adopted into the family as an heir, since the family head's wife who bore their child never returned, thus no heir.
This could've been a series 🤣 so many things fit into one oneshot, it can get overwhelming and confusing.... but it was still told nicely (just use imagination to fill the gaps hahaha)
Uh... This one needed a bit more time in the oven, I think. A lot crammed into few pages, and too many instances of "present thing, immediately explain thing", one after the other.
