What Declan said surprised Thomas a little. Thomas did not expect there to be a story like that behind the Ancestral Water.
He never expected the extravagant-looking House of Vistaria was actually miserable either. Every House of Vistaria head would be killed by Luck once they were sixty years old.
It was none other than the Ancestral Water that would be their end!
Declan chuckled in resignation and said, “I’m sure you want to know who Luck is, right? I’m revealing Luck’s true face to you right now…”
He had to look far into the past to talk about that.
Their story took place about one thousand years ago during the rule of Edward I!
Back then, the king was incapable. A new power had inexplicably appeared in the kingdom. They wanted to bring the king down and change the government. This group of people hid in the dark and called themselves Luck.
Luck created a special kind of poison that had no antidote, and they named it the Ancestral Water. They used the Ancestral Water to control the royal family members and ministers with the intention of harming the king.
While Luck was confident that they could control the government, they were ultimately exposed.
At that time, a righteous general had turned against Luck. After drinking the Ancestral Water, favonovel.com had seemingly agreed to cooperate with Luck by sending the army to capture the king. In truth, the general had written all of Luck’s plots on a piece of paper. He hid the paper in his sleeve and handed it to the king.
After the king read the letter and discovered the truth, favonovel.com eradicated Luck swiftly. Besides, the king also arrested and killed all of their companions who had participated in their plot!
Luck’s main mastermind was the king’s uncle, and favonovel.com chose to leave the city immediately.
A brave general who was skilled in combat accompanied him, and his last name was Mars.
After that, the king’s uncle and General Mars went missing. No matter how many people the king sent out to look for them, they could not find the whereabouts of those two individuals.
They initially thought that this would be the end.
Who would have known that Luck would resurface later on and continue to exist among the people?
Clearly, the king’s uncle remained as Luck’s mastermind, while General Mars established House of Vistaria. The family would be loyal to the king’s uncle for their whole life. Although this member of royalty never aimed to conquer the world, favonovel.com still earned a lot of wealth using the Ancestral Water.
Luck and House of Vistaria had existed since then.
King Edward had passed away a long time ago, but Luck still existed. They had existed for thousands of years.
Today, Luck had become the real ruler of Celandine City, and House of Vistaria had changed hands from General Mars to Declan. Only the members of Luck and House of Vistaria’s head knew about this secret.
Aside from Declan, other current members of the Mars family did not know about it. If Declan died and Phoebe became the head of the family, Phoebe would be eligible to learn this thousand-year-old secret.
Actually, General Mars and the king’s uncle had been very close in the past. General Mars had been loyal his entire life, and the king’s uncle never asked General Mars to drink the Ancestral Water. However, as time went by, their relationship slowly took a strange turn.
The members of Luck could no longer trust the members of the Mars family completely. Not everyone could be General Mars.
To prevent the Mars family from betraying Luck and to fully control the Mars family, Luck eventually decided to make the head of the Mars family drink the Ancestral Water. That way, it would not be possible for the Mars family to betray them.
When Thomas heard that, favonovel.com subconsciously sighed emotionally.
The Mars family was truly pitiful!
That was not the end!
