Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Well not all, maybe... it was just and Cole.” Lea looked down with a bitter smile and continued, “When I was little, everyone asked to establish a good rapport with my eldest brother, but nobody knew that I actually liked my second eldest brother, Cole, the most. My eldest brother always had a straight face on and every ti we t, he would ask how much of the esoterica I have morized, whether my deduction skills have improved or how much of the dicine and dical cases I have learned. But Cole was different, every ti he ca back from the outside, he would bring new toys, tell interesting stories and sneak out with to play... So, I was closer with Cole than my eldest brother.”
Gu ngng did not interrupt Lea because what actually happened in his past was like Pandora’s box, filled with unknowns.
If he was finally willing to open it up, even if it was the devil that jumped out in the end, Gu ngng would now have the courage to hug Lea and face everything together with him.
Lea kissed on Gu ngng’s forehead, as though it was the only way that could make him have the courage to continue, “But only until he pushed onto the bed of our father’s concubine and dashed in with our father and all the tribe elders. That was when I found out that I was being used by my second brother, whom I loved the most. In a fit of anger, our father said he would kill , but Cole held onto his legs and begged for his pardon with tears all over his face, asking father to spare my life as we were father and son after all. Banishnt... was the result for , while Cole ended up with a reputation of being loyal to his father and caring for his brother.”
Gu ngng raised up her hand and gently stroked onto the wrinkle on Lea’s frown. She asked, “If there was really sothing between you and the concubine, there will surely be a mark. Since you didn’t do it, you should have just explain to your father, the truth would be revealed by just checking the concubine’s body.”
Lea held onto Gu ngng’s hand lightly, pulled it near his lips and kissed it. He said, “Idiot, whether there was sothing between and the concubine was not the point at all, what was important was that the entire tribe’s noble elders and my father saw not properly dressed lying on the concubine’s bed. This was enough to put my father to sha. As for what actually happened between and her, or what did not happen, nobody cares.”
Gu ngng felt a sharp pain in her heart seeing the apathy in Lea’s eyes.
Lea’s own father, valuing his face over his son.
How distorted.
Lea sighed and continued, “Ninth Highness changed from the phrase for Sauder’s successor for religious authority to the sha of soone that had an affair with his father’s concubine and should be engulfed by the fla devil. I was banished, whipped and bullied but I still stubbornly insisted on coming back to correct everything. I cried on how I was being frad, I never committed such things! But in exchange, I only received even more cruel and brutal banishnt. After that, I t Cole in the forest on the exterior of Sauder, he was looking for with my favorite food. He said... He just ca to see how shabby the privileged one with religious authority and everyone’s love on was now.”
Gu ngng frowned, she felt heartache for Lea and hugged onto his arm, she said, “Is he a psychopath? Why did he hurt you like this?”
Lea smiled bitterly and said, “I asked him the sa question, why did him fra . He just replied with ‘Who asked you to be the Ninth Highness’. I didn’t know what he ant at the ti, but I do now. The precious stone lands its innocent possessor in jail.”
