Chapter 224 Revelations!



Late at night when all the natives of 'the Lawrence Street 4' were deep in sleep. Inside house number 245, six people could be seen sitting in a living room.

Although there were people present, the hall was shrouded in heavy silence. As the cold winds of the month of January blew outside the house, the clattering noises of the glass windows could be heard in this eerie silence.

The tic-toc sound of the wall clock for every second passed could be heard. Their heavy breathing proved the tension in the atmosphere.

After a long wait, as many minutes passed. Finally, a long sigh was heard.

*Sigh*

"I really didn't expect to meet Louis' daughter like this," Alfred uttered with some emotion.

Reina also continued observing Aurora as she said with a sad smile. "That explains why I felt she was quite familiar. It's because she was Claire's daughter."

When Aurora heard her mother's name come up, her body stiffened a bit.

After a moment of silence, she asked. "Do you know my parents?"

If they just knew her information, she wouldn't be that surprised. Because that must mean Shin's parents had a rather high status in the Wolner clan if they know this information. Or maybe Alice shared her story with them. But the way they talked was kinda strange. It was as if they were personally acquainted with her parents.

'And what's with that sad smile? Aren't they from the same family as my parents' murderers?'

This was the reason Aurora felt a little uncomfortable. Even Emily at this moment felt that the things were out of place.

Shin and Alice, on the other hand, were curiously looking at everyone without any intention of talking. Although Shin was planning to explain his relationship with the clan to Aurora. But he didn't expect that his father would be acquainted with Aurora's parents. 'Maybe it's better to let him explain everything first.'

Alfred and Reina sighed as they looked at each other and nodded.

"It's not just acquaintance. We were rather good friends."

"IMPOSSIBLE!!"

As soon as Aurora heard Alfred's statement, she shouted in disbelief. Her hands trembled a little and her emerald eyes looked at Alfred and Reina with a deadly glare. Even Emily didn't believe Alfred's words, though her reaction wasn't as strong as Aurora's.

"There is no way my parents could be friends with you greedy martial artist scums."

Aurora couldn't believe it. Suddenly, she looked up as if she had realized something.

"That's it."

Everyone looked at her, as she looked at Reina and Alfred with her eyes full of fury. She pointed her trembling finger in their direction and shouted.

"You guys must also have deceived and betrayed them."

Alfred and Reina didn't feel any anger at Aurora's claims. Rather, they felt pity for this child who couldn't trust anyone anymore.

Unlike Aurora, Emily, who was a little on guard, saw Alfred and Reina's reaction and with a calm mind, she immediately realized that there was a story behind it. Because she could see that Alfred and Reina weren't the least bit angry at Aurora's outburst.

Normally, people would have long been agitated, or at least a little displeased after hearing such accusations. But they weren't. She could also see the pitying gaze in which they looked at Aurora.

She immediately stood up and pressed her hands on Aurora's shoulders lightly. "Calm down, lady Aurora. Let's first hear what they have to say. We can verify the truth after that."

When Aurora heard Emily's words, she immediately calmed down, but still didn't believe in them at all.

She sat with a huff and said, "I'm listening."

Reina wasn't displeased by Aurora's behavior. Rather, she smiled and said, "You remind me of Claire when she was in college. But, after marrying Louis, she became a lot more docile."

Before Aurora could say anything, Alfred spoke first. "Well, your parents Louis and Claire went to the same college as us."

This revelation made Aurora's eyes widen in shock. "No way. How could that be? Dad was obviously a royal vampire. How could he make friends with you greedy martial artists who hunt vampires?"

Reina shook her head and said, "Why can't it be possible? If he cared about that, why would he marry your mother?"

Aurora immediately retorted, "But my mom wasn't a martial artist. She was an ordinary human."

But then she noticed that Alfred and Reina showed a surprised expression.

"Wait, you don't know her identity?" Alfred asked with a raised eyebrow.

Aurora's expression was rather strange. She closed her eyes and remembered her childhood with her mother. Those days when she taught her piano as they hum tunes sitting in a garden and her father will keep an eye on them while also focusing on his work.I think you should take a look at

Those days are the most beautiful memory of her life, which she couldn't forget and could only reminisce about now.

So when Alfred said something about her mother's real identity, she asked with a frown, "What do you mean by that? My mom was obviously a normal human."

Reina sighed and continued on Alfred's behalf. "Do you think a normal human can give birth to a child for a royal-blooded king rank vampire?"

As soon as they heard Reina's statement, both Aurora and Emily felt like thunder struck their minds.

It was indeed a logical question. How can an ordinary human give birth to a child for a Royal Blooded King rank vampire?

Indeed, there have been many Damphirs before her. But all of them are from low-ranking vampires. An ordinary human could never conceive a child for a Royal Blooded Vampire, which has the highest blood purity. Even if they try, death is the only possibility.

But in her case, it did happen. Her father was a Royal Blooded and her mother was a human.

Aurora wasn't a fool. She understood there were a lot of things she didn't know yet and only the people in front of her who claim to be her parents' friends can give those answers.

Aurora's eyes changed as she didn't look at them with any more hostility and asked in a slight pleading tone.

"Can you please tell me more about them?"

When everyone heard Aurora's words. The tension between them decreased a bit. Emily looked at Aurora, who was curious about her parents, and let out a soft smile.

Shin and Alice, on the other hand, were just observing everything like a show.

Thinking back on how she should explain, Reina asked. "Do you know how Louis fell in love with Claire?"

Aurora nodded and said, "It was love at first sight."

"Hah?" Alfred scoffed and said. "Haha, love at first sight, my ass."

Reina gave him a death glare, which immediately shut him up.

Aurora frowned in displeasure and asked, "Isn't that the case?"

Alfred didn't laugh this time under the fierce glare of Reina and said, "When the first time they met, your mother directly attacked him, intending to kill."

Aurora was shocked. "Why would she do that?" Even Emily didn't expect the sweet college romance story Claire told her before was fake.

"It's because your mother was a vampire hunter," Reina said, folding her hands below her chest.

"W-What?" Aurora frowned again and asked. "Is that the identity you were talking about?"

Shaking his head, Alfred said, "No, that's not it. It's very complicated."

Then he glanced at Reina. She nodded with a sigh and said, "Your mother is not from this country. She was the second daughter of the royal lineage of the Night-sky Empire."

Then her eyes became extremely serious as she continued, "Moreover, people of that lineage are very strong people. Although they are humans, they aren't martial artists or mages. Their strength and history are very mysterious. Buy one thing is certain. They aren't normal human rulers."

Aurora was directly petrified on the spot. This kind of sudden revelation was too shocking for her. Her mother was a princess of a foreign country?

Her mind was in shambles. But she still looked into her eye and asked, "What kind of powers do they have? And why was my mother hunting vampires, then?"

"For some reason, your mother left her country and came here. As for hunting vampires. She only hunted vampires with bounty on their heads."

"My father had a bounty on his head?"

Alfred nodded in affirmation and said, "Isn't that obvious? He made a lot of enemies then. Many people wanted him to die."

Before Aurora could start asking further questions relating to her parents. Emily spoke up. "If you were such good friends. Why did you let them die?"

Emily's cold words made the room silent again. Aurora was also looking at them with plain eyes, waiting for an answer.

Yes, if they were such good friends, why did they let them die?

Sadness filled their eyes, and with a grim expression, Alfred said. "... This matter was hidden from us. By the time we knew about it, several days had already passed since the incident."

"It was also after that incident, our relation with the Wolner Clan started deteriorating."
