Chapter 893 Quest for Truth and the Events Twenty Years Ago

Aragos, the second-in-command of the Elais army, the grandson of Azkaran, the king of Elais, and the person many believe to be the bastard son of the king of Irason and the eldest princess of Azkaran.

Reign and the others immediately widened their eyes upon seeing him before drawing their weapons and getting ready for a battle, but to their surprise, Aragos quickly lifted his arms.This material is rooted in n0velbin★

"I have not come here to fight you."

"On the contrary." Aragos suddenly drew his sword before throwing it forward.

"I came here hoping my suspicions were true."

Reign and the others glanced at one another before Aragos suddenly sat down and stared at the prince.

"Brother ... that still seems to weird, calling a person I barely even know by such a name, a person I'm not even sure is my brother at all."

"Please, all of you, sit down, I have come here for the same reason as you have."

The unexpected revelation of Aragos's presence left both teams and the royal heirs in a state of disbelief. As they cautiously lowered their weapons, the atmosphere shifted from tension to confusion. Reign and Nayle exchanged wary glances, unsure of Aragos's true intentions.

"I was born amidst secrecy and whispers," Aragos suddenly spoke. "Rumors circulated about my parentage, linking me to the royal families of both Irason and Elais. The circumstances surrounding my birth were shrouded in mystery, and as I grew older, I felt the weight of expectations and suspicions."

"You were not the only people searching for Elyndor, you know?"

"I met him as well, and the meeting, one that I had hoped would give me answers, gave me more questions instead."

Aragos continued to explain how he had embarked on a personal quest to uncover the truth about his heritage. His journey led him to Elyndor, the elusive diplomat who had vanished from court during the early stages of the war. Elyndor, recognizing the significance of Aragos's quest, had provided him with crucial information that hinted at a conspiracy involving certain nobles.

"I learned that there were those within the courts of both kingdoms who sought to manipulate the narrative for their own gains," Aragos revealed. "Elyndor warned me of the dangers, and that's when I decided to take matters into my own hands. The Whispering Falls served as a sanctuary where I could gather my thoughts and plan my next moves."

"For many years, Elyndor had been a teacher to me, perhaps he had done so because he wished for this mad war between the two kingdoms to end, perhaps he had done it out of guilt, for not being able to defend my mother."

"I don't know his true reason for doing so, but I am indebted to him, that much is certain."

Reign and the others glanced at one another, shocked at the reveal.

Such a drug, it truly deserved nothing else but to be destroyed and never used anywhere in the universe.

"So that is how it is, they wouldn't tell me, even grandfather was not willing to speak of it."

"Each time I brought it up, he would get mad and stay silent before telling me that it is better for me not to know what happened," Aragos said with slight anger on his face.

"I trained hard, harder than anyone in the kingdom just so that I could rise through the ranks, and earn a solid reputation so that nobody could say I am where I am because the king is my grandfather," Aragos said with a burning gaze.

"I did all of that just so that I could find out who I truly am, who my father truly is, and to claim his life in the end, to make him pay for what he had done to my mother."

"And yet, no matter how many battles I won, no matter how many people I killed, my grandfather and the rest of the family still acted like I was too young, too fragile to know more."

"Elara, she is one of the people I suspected to be involved in what happened to my mother back then, but that was only because of my anger because they were still treating me as a child."

"Why is the king so certain that it was the king of Irason who forced himself on your mother?" Reign asked Aragos who sighed.

"After my mother gave birth to me, and upon being certain that she wouldn't die, grandfather was mad in anger and immediately charged at the capital of Irason."

"The king had been there by that time as almost two days had passed since the incident, and upon reaching the kingdom, he burst into the capital and demanded justice."

"The two argued as the king of Irason acted like he had no idea what had happened, at least that's what my grandfather believes, and to make sure, he asked for a drop of his blood, that was all that he needed to confirm it."

"A drop of blood?" Mia asked, to which Aragos nodded.

"The royal family has a way of matching the blood of people, by utilizing an array, they can use the blood of a person and another person and see if it matches if they are related."

"My blood and the blood of the king was a match, it resonated strongly, which meant that not only were we related, but we were very close, which meant he was my father."

"That is why he will not stop the war until the king is dead, and the kingdom of Irason will not allow that to happen and the king is fighting because he still claims to be innocent.
