119 Father And Daughter
Selma Payne’s POV:
Master Mary sighed with a complicated look in her eyes. In the end, she didn’t say anything. She used witchcraft to burn the hair into ashes and then took a little blood from the southern Duke”s fingertip. She mixed the two into a unique mix and drew a hexagram on Adele’s head.
A few seconds later, Adele’s abnormality disappeared. She was lying on the chair, looking like a dead person.
“... Soone has cursed you,” the southern Duke said dryly. “Your master, the night magus Kafka, forced you to swear on your parents’ blood to protect his identity, right?”
Adele coughed a few tis, which was mixed with a burst of sharp laughter.
“Yes and no,” she said. “I did make an oath with my blood, but I was willing. No one forced . I was willing to bear the curse of kinship and accept the punishnt of my blood when I revealed the secret.”
“Why?” the southern Duke asked, losing his composure.
Everyone present was very confused and didn’t understand what the situation in front of them ant.
Adele laughed sarcastically. “Stop pretending, hero. Do you not know why? Are you still going to pretend to know nothing about my identity in front of your colleagues?”
What?
We looked at the two people in the middle of the hall in shock.
Did the southern Duke and Adele know each other?
The elder of the anti-king faction was like a hunting dog that had slled blood. He jumped out excitedly and pointed at the southern Duke’s nose.” What’s going on? Your Grace, do you have an affair with this despicable witch? I think you should explain it to us. Otherwise, I have reason to doubt if you still have a clear mind and absolute loyalty!”
For the ti being, no one agreed with him, but from the expressions of the anti-king faction around him, they also wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate the southern Duke.
Seeing that the southern Duke was in trouble, my father ca to his rescue. “Lennon, don’t take this witch’s provocation to heart. Let’s continue the interrogation...”
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty,” the southern Duke said with an unusual expression. “But I think it’s ti for to face my mistakes.”
“Lennon...” even my mother and Duke Frank tried to stop him.
However, the southern Duke seed to have made up his mind. He was determined to reveal so earth-shattering secret.
Adele stared at the southern Duke’s eyes and said through gritted teeth, “A mistake? What a mistake! Lennon Kavici Asistina, when you swore to my mother with this na, did your hypocritical mind think that you would attribute everything to a ‘mistake’ today?”
“This is not your mother’s fault!” The southern Duke growled in pain. “It’s all my fault. I caused all this!”
What mother? What mistake?
I believed everyone here was as confused as I was.
Adele roared, “So? Do you think a simple apology can compensate for everything that happened in the past? If you ask , Mother was blind to fall for sothing like you and end up in such a miserable state. I can only say that she brought all of this upon herself!”
“Show so respect. You have no right to bla her! She’s your mother!” The southern Duke was panting in anger.
He had completely lost his deanor, which was a rare sight. His chest was like a broken bellow beating fiercely as if it would explode in the next second.
The southern Duke’s embarrassed look cald Adele down. She said indifferently, “She’s not my mother.
“She didn’t even give birth to .
“To save a stupid man, she cut open her stomach, rubbed the embryo into a pile of dead branches and rotten leaves, and then willingly died in the na of stupid love.
“God is strict, isn’t he? I said a life for a life, so I can only trade one for one. No more. It’s blasphemy against god.
“Won who fall in love are foolish, aren’t they? She knew the stupid man was not afraid of death and even looked forward to entering the Moon Temple as a hero. However, she still self-righteously gave up her life, even sacrificing a young one, to satisfy her childish romantic fantasy.
“However, what did she get in return for giving up everything?
“Her lover forgot about her and accepted the worship of thousands of people with the hero’s badge. He married a beautiful woman that the gods had prepared for him and gave birth to a stupid girl who was only beautiful but brainless.
“As for her, her body rotted, and her soul dissipated. She disappeared from the world like a dying worm. No one rembered her, and no one cared about her.
“Why should I respect such a foolish, childish, cold, and selfish woman? What right do I have to acknowledge her as my mother?
“Based on your insignificant reprimand? My hypocritical father?”
