Yulster clearly hadn't expected that the Great Elder would suddenly ntion himself.
Being looked at by those crimson eyes, even though he had prepared himself ntally, he still felt guilty.
He awkwardly forced a smile, Yulster swallowed and then tried to look as relaxed as possible, and carefully asked,
"What... does everyone... want to know?"
"Everything!"
Duke Yoroc gave him a cold glance and said,
"We want to know everything!"
"When did you betray the clan, and when did you submit to the True Ancestor, and... what... exactly does the True Ancestor... intend to do."
"Yulster, if you still consider yourself a proud mber of the Nais Bloodline, if you still acknowledge as an elder, then tell us... everything you know!"
Upon hearing Duke Yoroc's words, Yulster's expression was complicated.
He sighed and said,
"Lord Yoroc, you... have always been an elder I respect, in the past, now, and in the future."
"Becoming a follower of the True Ancestor was initially an accident. I must admit, even I was forced to submit to the True Ancestor."
"But... as Lord Badak has said, today's True Ancestor... indeed differs from the True Ancestor of the past."
"If I were to make the choice now, I think... I would be willing to pledge loyalty to Him."
"The reason is simple, because... the present True Ancestor is indeed a rciful sovereign, and for the Nais Clan, who have lost the protection of God, nothing could better address the crisis that Holy Presence Day brings... than to swear loyalty to the current True Ancestor..."
Saying this, Yulster paused, cautiously looking towards the mbers of the Nais Bloodline.
Finding that everyone was seriously listening to him, Yulster felt sowhat relieved.
He took a deep breath and then continued to delve into his recollections:
"Everything... must start with the original Returning Star Plan..."
...
In explaining his allegiance to the True Ancestor to the clan, it was evident Yulster had thoroughly prepared in advance.
No, or more precisely, from the mont he began to realize the differences between Charlotte and the True Ancestor in his mories and decided to draw the clan to the True Ancestor's side, he had already thought about how to persuade them.
Yulster didn't hide the many experiences he had gone through after becoming one of the True Ancestor's Favored.
What he had done for the True Ancestor, the current state of the True Ancestor, and the True Ancestor's attitude toward the Bloodline, he spilled it all out.
Of course, he didn't reveal the True Ancestor's true identity as Charlotte Castel.
He only shared with the Nais Bloodline the True Ancestor's previous assistance to him and the attitude towards the Bloodline that the True Ancestor revealed during their daily interactions.
At the sa ti, he also indirectly attributed so of the events that occurred in Castel and so actions taken by Charlotte to the na of the True Ancestor.
Of course, this included why the True Ancestor was different from before.
"Hmm? You an to say... the True Ancestor... suffered from mory loss?"
Upon hearing Yulster's narration, the Nais Bloodline mbers quickly caught on to certain key points in his speech.
They exchanged glances, their expressions sowhat incredulous:
"Is that true?"
"Can Gods... also lose their mories?"
Clearly, despite the Bloodline's near-immortal lifespan, not every one of them had a thorough understanding of Gods.
Only the likes of Nisi and Sebastian were exceptions.
At least... it was the first ti many Bloodline mbers heard that Gods could also lose their mories.
Of course, this didn't include those Dukes who had lived long enough.
Having heard Yulster's words, several Dukes of the Nais Clan were struck with a thought and fell into contemplation:
"mory loss? Could it be... the rumors are true? The True Ancestor didn't go missing but fell into Eternal Sleep after being ambushed by Lord Cosy and the others?"
"If it was a resurrection from Eternal Sleep, then... perhaps it is indeed possible that things have changed."
The Dukes murmured privately.
"Lord Robin, Elder Charles, can Gods… truly lose their mories?"
Seeing their change in expression, so of the mid to low-tier Bloodline mbers couldn't help but ask.
The Great Elder glanced at them and nodded:
"If it is a resurgence from 'The Fallen,' then indeed Gods can lose their mories."
"Then... doesn't that an, She indeed might be different from before?"
A Bloodline mber asked.
Elder Charles shook his head:
"It's not entirely the case. The process of divine resurgence is also a process of regaining one's mories. As the power of the God is restored, the mories of the God... will also be restored."
Having said that, Elder Charles looked at Yulster again:
"Yulster, even if the True Ancestor has lost her mories, the current Her... must have regained quite a bit of power and mory, right?"
Yulster nodded:
"Correct, since my submission to the True Ancestor, She has undergone more than one period of slumber, and with each slumber, Her power has been further enhanced, and Her mories... have been progressively restored."
"What excites is exactly this point; even if the True Ancestor has regained part of Her mories, She still has not beco that historically brutal and terrifying True Ancestor."
"Not only that, when I attempted to converse and probe, She would even express bewildernt over the brutal acts Her past self had committed."
