Chapter 641: To Avoid Future Trouble for Evin
Two days later,
Aldrian and Sylphia were in the Buddhist sect territory, specifically in Dongtian City. They wore inconspicuous black robes that concealed their features as they teleported to the city, appearing directly in front of a house.
When they arrived, an elf wrapped in a brown robe was drying clothes, hanging them on a string line in front of the house. The moment they appeared, the elf seemed to sense their presence and instantly turned her head toward them.
When she saw their faces, her eyes widened and she attempted to prostrate before them.
"Your Majes—"
"At ease, Miss Vera. You don’t have to do that," Aldrian’s voice stopped Vera from continuing, and he used his energy control to prevent her from lowering her body any further. Realizing she couldn’t move, Vera simply obeyed Aldrian’s command.
Vera sighed because she knew why Aldrian and Sylphia were here. More than three weeks ago, they had visited her, and at that time, they discussed what she would do in the future,whether she wanted to continue hiding from her family or not.
They all understood that as time passed and Evin grew more mature, she would inevitably begin to question her mother’s origins and past.
At that time, no one could predict what Evin would do. She might reject any connection to her elven roots, or she might try to contact her maternal family. If she did try to establish contact, trouble could follow. The Valrein family might easily piece things together and realize that Evin was their mixed-blood descendant.
That uncertainty about the future had weighed heavily on Vera’s mind ever since Aldrian asked her that question.
For Vera, ideally, she would prefer to keep Evin’s existence hidden from her family. But she knew that, given the uncertainty of the future, a reunion might be inevitable. She also couldn’t be sure whether the Valerin family would eventually find them. Although it had been a long time, there were still occasional rumors that the Valerin family continued searching for her.
Now that the time of the prophecy had already passed, she feared the Valerin family would shift their focus more toward finding her.
