BXBX NOVEL Chapter 535 - 535: The Mystery Of His Past
Selma Payne’s POV:
After thinking about it, I thought the most likely reason was that Sir Evaria was wrong.
He didn’t lie to me. On the contrary, he told me everything he knew, but he didn’t expect that what he knew was fake.
In other words, the Evarian responsible for caring for the dead man had deceived Sir Evaria.
This was not hard to understand. That group of people had even cooperated with the demons. Deceiving their family head was child’s play compared to this. Sir Evaria’s silence was not only a form of indulgence but also a warning. He did not agree with his people plotting against the throne.
Of course, those people could not trust him with his ambiguous attitude, so it was reasonable to hide some things from Sir Evaria.
Regarding the death of Layla, Sir Evaria’s attitude had always been difficult to read. He had never admitted to the crime but remained silent about the accusations. I used to think that this was a form of protection. To preserve the last chance of survival for the family, he could not admit to this crime no matter what.
But now I had some new ideas: What if Sir Evaria really didn’t know?
1 seemed to have had a misconception, which was that as the head of the family, Sir Evaria would definitely know everything about the family.
But in reality, this was just an ideal state in my imagination. The Evaria Family was a huge family with a large population and complicated branches. Where there were people, it was inevitable that there would be infighting, unfamiliarity, and disloyalty. Being impenetrable was just a smokescreen for outsiders to see.
No matter how powerful Sir Evaria was, he still needed people to help him control the family. However, the composition of people was complicated, and one could not guarantee that everyone was as loyal as they looked on the surface.
The throne was a huge temptation. If the Evaria Family succeeded, all family members would change from subjects to royalty. Under such a temptation, would Sir Evaria’s men really not be tempted?
As long as one of them wavered, someone with the intention could take advantage of the situation and deceive Sir Evaria.
Therefore, I still believed that Julie’s death was related to that sickly man. In particular, Julie had been in the Lycan pack for a while. Her subsequent inexplicable disappearance must have had something to do with the Evaria Family.
Even though it didn’t make much sense to think that way, my instincts told me to go to the cemetery to see the newly built grave. Perhaps I would find some clues.
Thus, 1 immediately set off.
The weather was good today. The sun was shining brightly, dispelling some of the winter chills.
Cemeteries had always been deserted. The world of the living and the dead were divided, and no one was Milling to step into the pool of thunder. Generally speaking, the cemetery guards were usually old men or old women, as if the living and the dead could particularly forgive the dying people.
A handsome young man like Sisley naturally did not fit in with the cemetery. His slender body and simple outfit made him look like a filial son who guarded the tomb of his ancestors in ancient stories, that was, if you could ignore the fact that he was laughing and talking to his friends.
1 didn’t expect that Casti would be here as well. After all, with his scaredy cat personality, he didn’t seem like someone who would dare to stay in a cemetery for too long.
They were rather surprised at my arrival. Casti was rather ill at ease, while Sisley was in a slightly better state than him but was also slightly embarrassed.
“Please forgive me, Your Highness. I live in a humble place and have nothing to entertain you with,” he said dryly.
The small room belonging to the grave keeper was naturally not gorgeous. It could barely fit a bed and a few small pieces of furniture. The three of us were enough to fill this place, so the accompanying guards could only wait outside the door with worried eyes.
The moment Casti saw me, he became a taciturn person. He pursed his lips and didn’t say a word. Sisley tried his best to make small talk with me, but I didn’t come here today to express my condolences, so 1 went straight to the point. “Do you know your background?”
Sisley was suddenly stuck, like a chicken that had its neck caught. However, he quickly reacted and didn’t hide his secret from me. “Yes, Your Highness. 1 know… I’m actually not my parents’ biological son in the legal sense.
“Do you know who your parents are?”
He was silent. After a while, he replied bitterly,”… I don’t know, Your Highness. I’ve never asked.”
I handed him the letter written by Sir Evaria. He read it carefully, held on for a few seconds, and then suddenly collapsed, unable to maintain his decent etiquette.
Casti had also read the contents of the letter. He looked worriedly at Sisley and tried to say something, but as someone who wasn’t good with words, he could only silently pat his friend’s shoulder to comfort him.
“To be honest, I’ve always had some guesses. As for those at home… Although 1 don’t know much about experiments, I’ve heard rumors. When this was completely exposed, my heart’s speculations became stronger.. Perhaps I’m not a ‘normal’ child? Perhaps 1 was also born in a cold laboratory?”
