Chapter 61 Ch 61: Trurh (2)
How could ordinary people know about places like the Ice Lord Valley and the Celestial Horizon?
Most importantly, his father seemed to be in the Ice Lord Valley and wanted his mother to join him there.
If such a place was accessible only to the strongest, how could his parents be ordinary?
But if they truly weren\'t ordinary, why had they hidden the truth all these years?
Several questions swirled in Emrys\'s mind, and he was desperate to find answers.
"When are you leaving?" Emrys took a deep breath and asked, his voice so low it sounded like a whisper. Yet, Slivya heard it clearly.
She smiled at her son and lovingly caressed his hair. Feeling her motherly affection, Emrys closed his eyes, savoring the warmth that spread through his body.
"I would have left a few days ago," Slivya said softly, "but I was waiting for you to return first. I wanted to see you at least one last time before leaving. After all, we don\'t know when we\'ll meet again."
"Then why don\'t I go with you?" Emrys asked, his confusion evident. He couldn\'t help but feel there was more to this than Slivya had let on. If his father had truly called her to the Ice Lord Valley, why hadn\'t he called for him as well? Why would his parents leave him behind?
Slivya\'s smile faded slightly. She took a deep breath before responding, "Emrys, there are things you still need to understand about our world. This world is not as simple as it looks on the surface. As for us, your parents, we have our own problems to deal with. You cannot go to the Ice Lord Valley with me, because if you go, it would be like willingly walking into a lion\'s den to become the lion\'s food. We have many enemies out there, and each one of them is capable of affecting the entire Infinite Soul Star with their every decision."
Emrys\'s eyes widened in shock. "Enemies? What do you mean, enemies? What kind of trouble are you and Dad involved in?"
Slivya sighed and gently took his hands in hers. "Emrys, your father and I are not ordinary people. We belong to a world where power struggles and grudges shape our destinies. The Ice Lord Valley is a place of immense danger, especially for someone like you who is our son." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"But why keep all of this a secret from me?" Emrys\'s voice trembled with a mixture of frustration and desperation. "Why keep me in the dark? Why didn\'t you tell me all this before?"
"We wanted to protect you," Slivya said softly, her eyes filled with sorrow. "We wanted to give you a chance to grow up without the constant shadow of danger looming over you. We hope to give you a chance to live a normal life. But it seems destiny has its own plans."
A normal life?
These words attracted his attention. Then he again recalled Elysia\'s words. According to Elysia, he was not supposed to awaken his Soul Mark due to the Curse of Echoing Silence.
His predecessor was exactly like this. He failed three times and in the end, his soul disappeared. If not for him suddenly transmigrating and taking possession of this body, this body would have long been dead.
"Why?"
Exhaling breaths deeply, Emrys repeated his question in one simple word. He still wanted to know his parents had to let him live a normal life.
Slivya hesitated for a little and then sighed. In the end, she started explaining "You should know that my and your father\'s enemies are all old monsters. Every one of them is capable of bringing catastrophe to the entire Infinite Soul Star. You can say that fate is playing with us, for both our families are our enemies."
"Your families?"
A frown appeared on Emrys\'s face. As far as he could remember, his parents never talked about their families or relatives. From the start, they behaved as if they did not have any relatives alive in this world.
Nodding her head, she said, "I come from the Rosefield Family, one of the five powerful families that control the entire Infinite Soul Star from behind the scenes. The ancestors of these five families are also the ones who laid down the foundation of the Federation. In other words, the Federation is controlled by the joint operation of these five families."
"The Rosefield Family is a single-lineage family. In other words, every member of the Rosefield Family can awaken their Soul Marks with one fixed attribute: they can only awaken Ice-attributed Soul Marks. The family has a strict rule that no one is allowed to marry outside the family. They believe that marrying outside the family not only dilutes the bloodline but also contaminates it, making the future generations\' bloodline mixed and imperfect."
"In fact, all five families are the same, and the way they think and do things are also the same."
"Your father\'s family, the Frazier Family, is also one of these five families. Just like the Rosefield Family, every member of the Frazier Family can also only awaken Lightning-attributed Soul Mark."
"There was a time when several members from the five families entered a Pocket Dimension. I met your father there, and we fell in love. After coming out, we wanted to marry, but our families strongly objected to our decision. In the end, we chose to run away and get married."
Slivya paused for a few seconds and looked at Emrys lovingly. Then she continued, "When I gave birth to you, I thought our families would accept us after seeing you. It is because, not only did you perfectly inherit the Rosefield Family\'s bloodline, but also the bloodline of the Frazier Family."
"However, we were wrong. We were completely wrong. Not only did those two families refuse to welcome us, but they also wanted to kill us for the sake of their so-called family reputation. Fortunately, we were not weak. We managed to break out from their encirclement and made them suffer greatly in the process."
"Unfortunately, we didn\'t escape unscathed. Your father was injured, and seeing that they couldn\'t keep us there, the Rosefield and Frazier families joined forces to cast a terrible curse on you. That curse is called the Curse of Echoing Silence. It can completely seal a person\'s potential, bloodline, and talent. The one cursed by this curse can never awaken their Soul Mark and can only live the life of an ordinary mortal."
