Chapter 132: The Tin Knight and The Golden Alchemist (2)
“There are many monsters in history. Those with outstanding physical abilities, those with innate senses and skills. The world calls such people geniuses, and some of them earn the name of hero. But you see. Usually, it’s just that ‘individual’ who is exceptionally talented.”
Some sentences, regardless of how easy or difficult their content was, refuse to be understood by someone.
That was exactly Adelaide’s state.
But the witch, as if she couldn’t help but enjoy presenting cruel facts to Adelaide, continued her explanation kindly and caringly, “A genius’ child isn’t necessarily a genius. A hero’s child doesn’t necessarily become a hero. But how about the Lion Duke’s bloodline? Even after nearly 200 years of generational changes, the characteristics of a single ancestor still manifest in the children. That’s how they were from the beginning. That’s the kind of blood they have from the start.”
Adelaide was too shocked to close her mouth.
Not human. A homunculus.
If this were to be known to her companions…
…Huh? It feels like it wouldn’t matter much?
Adelaide briefly recalled her companions’ personal details.
It was a party where a metal doll and a vampire proudly coexisted.
It seemed like she wouldn’t get much of a reaction even if it turned out that one of her distant ancestors was a non-human, let alone Adelaide herself being a homunculus.
Thinking that, Adelaide’s heart suddenly became peaceful.
