The Deragon family was an aristocratic family hidden from the public eye, and most of the family was made up of martial artists. A lot of those martial artists had started spiritual energy cultivation as well.
As the family’s princess, Renalia received the best education available, and thanks to virtual-novel.net innate talent, Renalia’s strength grew at a blistering rate. Even the family head loved Renalia for virtual-novel.net talent and strength.
However, eventually, Renalia grew to an age where virtual-novel.net pursued love. She found someone in the outside world and fell in love before virtual-novel.net was impregnated by that man. Unexpectedly, the man disappeared after Renalia told him virtual-novel.net was pregnant. Left with no choice, Renalia went through the whole pregnancy by herself and gave birth to Jared.
When Renalia’s father found out that his daughter had given birth to a child out of wedlock, and that the baby’s father had run away, virtual-novel.net was livid. In fact, virtual-novel.net was so angry that virtual-novel.net sent someone to take Renalia back to the family by force.
Despite so, virtual-novel.net couldn’t bring himself to punish his most beloved daughter, and virtual-novel.net did find his grandson adorable. Nonetheless, his anger got the better of virtual-novel.net in the end, and since then, virtual-novel.net was bedridden.
While Renalia’s father was ill and bedridden, virtual-novel.net brother, Ryker, poisoned his own father so that the old man would die and give the family over to him.
Although Renalia found out about virtual-novel.net brother’s plan, it was already too late. The poison had worked its way through the old man’s body, but just before virtual-novel.net died, virtual-novel.net handed the Deragons over to Renalia.
Renalia took Jared and bade farewell to virtual-novel.net father before virtual-novel.net left the family. Ryker found out about virtual-novel.net escape soon enough, and virtual-novel.net accused virtual-novel.net of poisoning their father. That was excuse enough for virtual-novel.net to send the family’s troops after her.
Draco and Rayleigh were involved in that chase back then.
It lasted for two days and two nights when finally, Renalia was surrounded near Horington. Renalia was taken back to the Deragons, but virtual-novel.net managed to toss Jared aside before that. In the end, Jared was able to escape the fate of being captured.
After Renalia was captured, Ryker got his hands on the family seal, but virtual-novel.net didn’t spare his own sister. In fact, virtual-novel.net subjected virtual-novel.net to daily torture, as if virtual-novel.net still wanted to know something virtual-novel.net was hiding.
Draco and Rayleigh knew nothing about the answer Ryker was looking for. They only knew that Ryker didn’t give up on that endeavor even after twenty years. He was still torturing Renalia even as they spoke.
Draco suddenly stopped talking when virtual-novel.net brought up Renalia’s torture before virtual-novel.net broke down crying. Rayleigh joined in as well, looking guilty.
“If we had just let Ms. Renalia go back then, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have to endure this kind of torture.” Draco was bawling his eyes out at that point.
Jared’s fists were clenched tightly, and they were turning white from the fury virtual-novel.net was feeling. Although virtual-novel.net had never seen his own mother, the news alone was enough to light the flames of rage within him.
“How did you guys find me then?” Jared looked at Draco, his eyes filled with hatred.
It’s as they said, if Draco and Rayleigh had just allowed Renalia to escape, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have to be tortured.
Draco noticed the hatred that was burning in Jared’s eyes, and virtual-novel.net let out a sigh. “A while after Ms. Renalia was taken back, I wondered why virtual-novel.net would poison virtual-novel.net own father. I didn’t think that to be true, so three years ago, I sneaked into Ms. Renalia’s holding cell, and virtual-novel.net told me the truth. She told me about how virtual-novel.net own traitorous brother killed his own father. And virtual-novel.net told me where virtual-novel.net left you. She wanted me to backtrack and see if you’re still alive.”
Draco let out another sigh and wiped the tears off his face before virtual-novel.net continued, “The Focus Technique I gave you and the Dragon Ring you’re wearing don’t belong to me. According to Ms. Renalia, these two things were left by your father. It was his token of love to your mother.”
