This topic was undoubtedly quite heavy, at least for Samantha, who still couldn't comprehend what reason could cause Perfikot to say something like "not entitled to keep them alive," but she could at least understand that there was a secret behind it that she wasn't qualified to know.
Therefore, quickly, Samantha and Perfikot changed the subject.
"Your Ladyship, I heard that your parents were once renowned alchemy masters, particularly skilled in human transmutation. I wonder if that's true?" Samantha asked, somewhat rudely, but with a glint of hope in her eyes.
Perfikot glanced at her, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "Does someone in your family have a physical problem?"
Although human transmutation is no longer a taboo these years, for ordinary people, this technology still contradicts the mainstream religious beliefs of the Empire. Typically, no one would want an alchemist to perform body modification on themselves without a reason.
