Chapter 809 Origins Revealed
The Deragon family was an aristocratic family hidden from the public eye, and most of the family was made up of martial artists. A lot of those martial artists had started spiritual energy cultivation as well. As the family’s princess, Renalia received the best education available, and thanks to her innate talent, Renalia’s strength grew at a blistering rate. Even the family head loved Renalia for her talent and strength.
However, eventually, Renalia grew to an age where she pursued love. She found someone in the outside world and fell in love before she was impregnated by that man.
Unexpectedly, the man disappeared after Renalia told him she was pregnant. Left with no choice, Renalia went through the whole pregnancy by herself and gave birth to Jared.
When Renalia’s father found out that his daughter had given birth to a child out of wedlock, and that the baby’s father had run away, he was livid. In fact, he was so angry that he sent someone to take Renalia back to the family by force.
Despite so, he couldn’t bring himself to punish his most beloved daughter, and he did find his grandson adorable. Nonetheless, his anger got the better of him in the end, and since then, he was bedridden.
While Renalia’s father was ill and bedridden, her brother, Ryker, poisoned his own father so that the old man would die and give the family over to him.
Although Renalia found out about her brother’s plan, it was already too late. The poison had worked its way through the old man’s body, but just before he died, he handed the Deragons over to Renalia.
Renalia took Jared and bade farewell to her father before she left the family. Ryker found out about her escape soon enough, and he accused her of poisoning their father. That was excuse enough for him to send the family’s troops after her.
Draco and Rayleigh were involved in that chase back then. It lasted for two days and two nights when finally, Renalia was surrounded near Horington. Renalia was taken back to the Deragons, but she managed to toss Jared aside before that. In the end, Jared was able to escape the fate of being captured.
After Renalia was captured, Ryker got his hands on the family seal, but he didn’t spare his own sister. In fact, he subjected her to daily torture, as if he still wanted to know something she was hiding.
Draco and Rayleigh knew nothing about the answer Ryker was looking for. They only knew that Ryker didn’t give up on that endeavor even after twenty years. He was still torturing Renalia even as they spoke.
Draco suddenly stopped talking when he brought up Renalia’s torture before he broke down crying. Rayleigh joined in as well, looking guilty.
“If we had just let Ms. Renalia go back then, she wouldn’t have to endure this kind of torture.” Draco was bawling his eyes out at that point.
Jared’s fists were clenched tightly, and they were turning white from the fury he was feeling. Although he had never seen his own mother, the news alone was enough to light the flames of rage within him. “How did you guys find me then?” Jared looked at Draco, his eyes filled with hatred.
It’s as they said, if Draco and Rayleigh had just allowed Renalia to escape, she wouldn’t have to be tortured.
Draco noticed the hatred that was burning in Jared’s eyes, and he let out a sigh. “A while after Ms. Renalia was taken back, I wondered why she would poison her own father. I didn’t think that to be true, so three years ago, I sneaked into Ms. Renalia’s holding cell, and she told me the truth. She told me about how her own traitorous brother killed his own father. And she told me where she left you. She wanted me to backtrack and see if you’re still alive.”
Draco let out another sigh and wiped the tears off his face before he continued, “The Focus Technique I gave you and the Dragon Ring you’re wearing don’t belong to me. According to Ms. Renalia, these two things were left by your father. It was his token of love to your mother.”
