Chapter 30. Communication [2]
"I'm Aiden von Everhart, 48th Descendant of the Hero Alfred Everhart, son of Azriel and Kiera Everhart, who possesses the blessings of the two Sovereigns and... the memories of his past life."
As the words left Aiden's mouth, an eerie silence followed.
Neither of them said a single word—one due to being terrified, the other in surprise.
Aiden broke his perfect bow as his fingers trembled slightly, and his heart started pounding loudly.
Sweat froze around his eyebrows, and he closed his eyes so as not to look directly at Zephy.
He thought he had braced himself to reveal his truth to Zephy, for he would need his help to make his promise come true, and he also didn't want to keep it secret from someone he'd decided to trust—especially after feeling guilty for not telling his parents before...
I should have told Mother and Father as well. That way, maybe they'd have abandoned me, and all of that wouldn't have happened...
Though he was afraid of being falsely perceived for his intentions and potentially being called an impostor, it was not his fault that he remembered his past life!
"Hmm... You sure about them last few words, kid?" Zephy still tried to keep his usual carefree tone, but it was evident that he was shocked, as the temperature of the forest fell off a cliff the moment Aiden finished his introduction.
"Hooh..." Clenching his fists, his fingernails digging into his palm, Aiden took a deep breath.
"Yes, I am. I..." Aiden said while straightening his back and opening his eyes to confront Zephyrix directly, "I remember living in a different world before dying there and getting born as Aiden von Everhart. I haven't told that to anyone else before you... regrettably."
