Chapter 204 - Why Do The Lindens Look So Young?

Elios who heard Vega's words immediately stepped forward and hugged his daughter. Vega was stunned. She had seen the handsome man behind her mother.

Was ... was this her father? Was that really Elios Linden? Why did he look so young?

But she did not have time to think further, her head was filled with feelings of emotion and joy that couldn't be described in words.

Finally ... the feeling of loneliness that had been accompanying her for years was gone. She was not alone in this world. 

It turned out she still had a father, mother, and three siblings who really loved her.

"Big sister ..." Ireland and Scotland simultaneously embraced Vega, and the four of them all cried together.

Ren watched it all with mixed feelings. In front of him, now stood the man he hated the most in this world ...

Elios Linden the human hater, who was so evil and used to wanting to decide which humans were worthy of life and which one must die, was now crying because he managed to find his long lost daughter.

Ren could imagine how heartbroken Elios was when he first learned of his daughter being kidnapped and was repeatedly tricked by false leads to obscure his search.

Would he be sadder if his child never came back?

Would his grief deepen if he found his daughter's body lying there, dead?

Ren could only keep all these questions in his heart. He stared at the reunion between Vega and the rest of her family with wild thoughts. It was as if his soul had left, leaving his body standing transfixed in their room.

"Uhm ... Father, Mother ... this is, Renald Hanenberg ... my husband ..." Vega said suddenly after she broke away from Elios's embrace.

Vega didn't want Ren to feel excluded after she reunited with her family. They were both orphans, at least when she was Fae Muller, and she felt that Ren understood her the most. Vega didn't want to leave Ren alone after she learned her true identity, that she actually still had a family.

She stepped back a little and held Ren's hand, silently stating that her family should accept Ren as her husband because Vega would not return to them without Ren. She remembered Ren was concerned that the Lindens might not want to accept him and think he was not good enough for their daughter.

Elios immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at Ren with a sharp gaze. He had known who Ren was from Mischa since Altaïr first told him that Vega had been found.

He knew that Ren was an orphan, the grandson of the current king and queen of Moravia who was appointed the crown prince after his cousin, the previous crown prince, died.

In addition, Ren was a genius and once led the Space Exploration division in SpaceLab before he returned to Moravia. SpaceLab was an initiative founded by Rhionen Industries, a long time ago before it was rebranded as Rhionen Meier Industries or RMI.

Ren felt his chest pounding hard. He was worried but at the same time filled with hatred for Elios Linden. However, he held back and played his part well. He nodded at Elios and greeted him in a calm voice.

"I didn't know Fae's.. uhm, Vega's family all look so young. This is very surprising. Shouldn't Mr. and Mrs. Linden have aged?" he asked as he looked towards Vega's family.

At that moment, Vega was stunned and nodded. She just noticed this. At first, she felt it was natural that her mother still looked young because women from wealthy families usually did all kinds of expensive treatments to look younger.

However, when she saw Elios looked as young as her own husband, while Ren was one of those people whose face looked much younger than his real age, Vega became confused.

"Uhm ... Ren is right," said Vega in a choked voice. She then looked at Elios and Altair in turn. Her father and older brother looked so similar, not only their faces and appearances were alike .. but age-wise, they looked close. Instead of being like father and son, they looked like brothers.

She and Ren now looked at Aleksis, Elios, Altaïr, and the twin boys with confused expressions.

Elios smiled to calm Vega. "We will tell you a very important family secret. Later you will understand."

Ren knew what Elios meant. Of course, they would tell Vega that in fact, her entire family is immortals who could live young forever. He already knew who they all were. But he was waiting for the moment when Elios told all this to his poor daughter, who had forgotten them all.

He wanted to know how Elios was going to convey all of this. It would be interesting.

"Renald?" Elios stepped closer to Ren and put his arm around him. "Will you take a walk with me to the beach? I have something to talk to you about."

Ren tilted his head towards Elios's hand which touched his shoulder. Although it seemed that Elios was only tapping him on the shoulder in a friendly manner, he could feel the man had actually put really hard pressure on his shoulder in an intimidating way, leaving him no option to refuse.

Ren smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay."

"Uhm .. what's this?" asked Vega in surprise. She grabbed Ren's arm and tried to hold him back.

Ren gently removed Vega's hand from his arm and calmed her down. "It's all right, Honey. I think your father just wants to talk to me. I want to talk to him too."

After Ren convinced her, Vega nodded and removed her hand from Ren's arm. She watched the two men walk with the same cold stance out of the villa.

"Mother ... what does Father want to say to my husband? Do you know?" Vega asked Aleksis. "Then, what's the family secret you were referring to? Is there anything I need to know?"

Aleksis embraced Vega's shoulder affectionately and shed tears again. She still couldn't overcome the emotion filling her chest. Her little girl .. had now become a woman.

Soon Vega would be 22 years old. When she disappeared, she was only 16 years old. Really, so long had passed. All these years, she and Elios had been desperate ..

"Oh .. my child, I am very happy ..." whispered Aleksis many times. "Later, we will tell you everything you need to know. We will wait for your grandfather's arrival, okay .. After Grandpa Rory and Grandpa Caspar come and check your condition, we will be able to find a way to recover your memory. I'm sure there must be a way ..."

Vega didn't know how they'd be able to recover her memory. But what was clear was that now she was starting to have hope. All the lost years in her life will return to her. She couldn't wait to see her grandfathers and recover her memory.

She wanted to know everything about her life.

"Mother ... if ... if I can recover my old memory, will I forget my new memory?" asked Vega in a worried voice. She just thought about the possibility that she would forget everything that happened during the past six years to get her life before she lost her memory.

It was true that she had lived through many hardships during the past few years, but she didn't want to forget about Ren. She experienced a lot of happiness with this man, and she loved her husband very much ....
