Chapter 295: Making Things Clear
"I understand that both of you might have suspected this for quite some time now," Orion spoke softly, his dual-colored eyes calm yet holding a depth of seriousness they’d rarely seen before.
"My lineage isn’t exactly straightforward, and after the events of that day, my dragon bloodlines underwent evolution and reached the Juvenile stage. I possess the True Fire Dragon and True Thunder Dragon bloodlines."
A complete silence enveloped the grand hall. Selene’s eyes widened dramatically, her usually calm and gentle expression overtaken by unmasked astonishment.
Eldric’s previously relaxed posture stiffened as he straightened abruptly in his seat, his wizened eyes staring at Orion with a mix of disbelief and bewilderment.
They had suspected Orion to be a draconian, a hybrid with diluted dragon blood, but to hear that their grandson possessed not one, but two True Dragon lineages was beyond anything they had imagined.
After a moment of tense silence, Eldric managed to find his voice. His words came out strained, filled with confusion. "Impossible... How can you possess the Human Emperor’s lineage while simultaneously being a True Dragon?"
Orion shook his head gently, lifting his hands in an open gesture. His own expression showed sincere uncertainty, reflective of his own internal questions.
"I don’t fully understand it myself, Grandpa. Yet, the truth is undeniable. I carry both the True Fire Dragon, the True Thunder Dragon lineages, and the Human Emperor’s legacy within me. I still don’t comprehend exactly how or why this happened—only that it is so."
Selene, who had remained quiet and contemplative, finally spoke softly, her voice quivering slightly with a mixture of fascination and curiosity. "Then Orion, are you able to transform fully into your True Dragon form?"
Orion went silent, thinking back to the past few days if he had tried to transform. After a moment, he shook his head slowly, answering with genuine uncertainty, "Honestly, I haven’t tried yet."
