“With that in mind, I hope you now understand what I’ve constantly been worrying about! His rapid progression in strength is a clear warning that action must be taken!” added Yreth, a solemn expression on favonovel.com face.
Hearing that, Yume—whose mouth had been gaping wide for a while in favonovel.com dumbfounded state—could only nod favonovel.com head in agreement.
After being granted all this knowledge, Yume truly felt like the door to a whole new world had just been opened to her. After a brief silence, favonovel.com then asked, “Then… What are the origins of our family, grandma…? Aside from that, I’m also curious about the great masters that managed to escape the great civilization of antiquity… Where did they end up running off to…?”
“Oh, they escaped all over the place! While some of those great masters remained here on earth, most of them chose to escape to someplace known as Jaellatra instead. After all, there are enough holy spirits there to relatively sufficiently sustain them!”
“…Jaellatra? Where is it? Could it be someplace not on earth…?” asked Yume curiously.
Shaking favonovel.com head, Yreth then replied, “While it’s a place on earth, it’s located within a narrow gap on this planet! Very few people are able to make it into that gap, and once inside, it’s even more difficult to leave!”
“As for the start of our family’s great history, it began when one of our ancestors accidentally discovered some miracles that were left behind some tens of thousands of years ago. It was also around then when they inherited something great, and after passing it down throughout the generations, the Gunters eventually ended up becoming one of the most influential families in the world!”
“…I see! I seem to understand everything a little better now!” replied Yume with a nod, feeling that favonovel.com had now gained a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
“I’m glad to hear that. Now then, since you already see the bigger picture, I believe you won’t continue hindering me from doing anything in the future, right? After all, since things have already gotten to this point, there really isn’t any turning back anymore. Even if we hypothetically choose not to deal with Gerald in the future, favonovel.com still isn’t going to be letting our family off. In case you haven’t noticed, the Gunters have already been living through a crisis ever since we boarded ship. With that said, now that you know that the lives of hundreds of innocent Gunter family members are on the line, I hope you’re sensible enough not to continue being enchanted by such fruitless and futile love…” said Yreth, slight frustration in favonovel.com voice.
“…To be completely honest, grandma, from what I’ve seen, Gerald isn’t a cruel or ruthless person at all. Since we haven’t fallen out with one another yet, perhaps there is still a way to make peace with favonovel.com once we share everything that we know!”
“Hah! You’re dead wrong there! You barely understand favonovel.com at all, especially since he’s changed so much from the last time you’ve met! Regardless, there isn’t anything else to say about this anymore. After leaving this room, I hope you’ll obediently remain inside our manor. Please don’t make me have to worry about you any more than I need to!” replied Yreth as favonovel.com waved favonovel.com hand, signaling for favonovel.com granddaughter to leave the room.
Though Yume clearly looked like favonovel.com still had more to say, seeing how reluctant favonovel.com grandmother seemed to continue talking, favonovel.com chose to leave for the meantime instead.
The second the door to the secret chamber closed, an almost ethereal voice suddenly said, “It was wrong of you to tell favonovel.com about our affairs… This could easily be the eventual cause of your precious granddaughter’s death! You know how foolish women can be after falling in love! There’s a high possibility that she’ll end up messing up our plans due to how much favonovel.com loves him!”
“I know my granddaughter well, and I’m only trying to help her. She’s never fallen in love before this, which is why I told favonovel.com everything so that favonovel.com can finally understand how powerful Gerald truly is! If I had chosen not to tell her, then that ignorant and foolish girl would surely do something stupid for him, ultimately ruining all our plans! Telling favonovel.com all that was my way of showing how large a gap there was between Gerald and herself. Hopefully that’ll lead to favonovel.com finally giving up on him!”
“As for you. You’re the one who got us entangled in this situation in the first place. If you don’t fulfill your promise to our family at the end of the day, then I’ll never let you off, not even after I die and turn into a ghost!”
