They can be pretty persistent and intuitive.And once they ask, the paladin can look into their innocent and completely trusting eyes and ... lie, do a white lie, or tell the horrific truth about his actions. And if he doesn't chose the latter course, it's only a matter of time before someone (an enemy, a relative of the arbiter, a witness, a court official) "accidentally" lets slip about what their adopted father actually did. It may take years but the truth will out... especially if the children, once they're old enough, use divination magic.And then the DM has an origin story for two villains. "A Sins of the Past" story would be a great campaign-ender, frankly.</blockquote>
