Chapter 1741 - 1177: The Previous King’s Sister (Part 2)
Therefore, if there were any royal members besides the queen at that time, they would have been almost certainly selected to follow the fire seeds and take refuge in this sanctuary.
However, reality was not so.
"The ancient texts left by our ancestors clearly recorded that back then, only one royal member remained — the last queen of the ancient magic civilization — Her Majesty Yuloli Reinayier."
The High Priest’s words almost made Liz instinctively turn her head and look towards the direction of the door.
Reiger also narrowed his eyes, understanding what the High Priest intended to convey.
"So that’s why you said there isn’t any surviving royal bloodline in this world?"
Reiger’s words were met with the High Priest nodding his head.
"At that time, only Her Majesty Yuloli remained in the royal family, so no royal lineage exists in the Hidden Land, and it’s even less likely for a royal bloodline to have been passed down outside."
"Yet, Her Highness’s existence is indeed a fact, the Holy Sword Moslo is truly in her hands and recognizes her bloodline, proving that her bloodline is genuine."
"This strange situation has garnered significant attention from the priests."
Thus, the priests, as well as the entire temple, were immersed in a full mobilization, pursuing a massive investigation into ancient records to uncover some clues.
"Since the bloodline on Her Highness’s body doesn’t originate from Her Majesty Yuloli, could it be the bloodline of another Reinayier that somehow fell into the human world?"
"We began our investigation, scouring various ancient texts, even examining records of generations of royal families, yet we have consistently found no evidence of a royal bloodline unexpectedly found among the populace."
"Surely you both know that Reinayier was a hero during the ancient magic civilization, a spiritual pillar."
"Their bloodline is extremely noble, with immense potential, even if it somehow slipped outside, the person with such a bloodline would quickly emerge and attract the attention of the kingdom whose influence spreads across the entire continent."
"Reinayier’s bloodline is so unique that once it’s noticed, it would certainly be investigated and taken back to the royal family."
The High Priest indicated that according to records, all royal lineages have never been lost outside, and even if momentarily strayed, they would be retrieved once they grew up.
As the descendants of heroes and God’s people, even if the royal family wished to abandon them, the populace wouldn’t allow it.
Such was the state of the country at the time.
"In the end, no matter how much we investigate, even after wearing out the ancient texts, we can only confirm one thing."
"That is, the Reinayier bloodline hasn’t been lost outside."
"All royal bloodline existences are clearly and unequivocally recorded, including the generations of kings and queens, detailing how many sons and daughters were born to them, with clear records."
These are the heritage and records brought by fire seeds as they retreated into the sanctuary, extremely detailed, without any loss, hence there’s basically no segment of records being hidden or lost.
"It’s not like the royal bloodline can proliferate easily, otherwise the heroes of Reinayier wouldn’t have consisted only of those individuals throughout history, and by the generation of Her Majesty Yuloli, there wouldn’t have been just herself left."
"The noble and great bloodline requires a certain difficulty for definite cultivation."
"Thus..."
The High Priest’s intention was clear — to inform Reiger and Liz that after the last queen Yuloli Reinayier’s death, the royal bloodline was severed.
In such circumstances, Liz, who suddenly appeared eleven thousand years after the ancient magic civilization’s collapse, had a suspicious bloodline.
"Moreover, during these eleven thousand years, we’ve been intermittently observing the Akasha continent to confirm the external situation."
"Throughout all these years, if there truly were a royal bloodline reproducing outside, we wouldn’t have failed to notice until now."
"Unless, the predecessors before me didn’t wish to bring the royal members back at all."
"But, that’s simply impossible."
The High Priest spoke seriously but couldn’t help but laugh.
"Then I..."
Liz suddenly revealed a look of bewilderment, her entire self plunged into confusion.
Reiger’s brow furrowed further.
"Didn’t you say you’ve ultimately discovered some things and have some conjectures regarding Liz’s lineage?" Reiger straightforwardly stated, "So don’t keep us guessing, tell us your speculations."
Liz also quickly looked at the High Priest, appearing anxious.
After a moment of silence, the High Priest spoke.
"Her Majesty Yuloli was the last of the royal lineage, that’s certain."
"The records left by generations of royals explicitly stated that Reinayier’s bloodline hasn’t been lost outside."
"Consequently, we began focusing on those royal bloodlines that are documented but have unexpectedly gone missing due to various reasons."
"Due to this, we discovered the existence of a person."
The High Priest had just finished speaking when Reiger immediately responded.
"Who?"
This question elicited an answer that left Reiger stunned.
"Her Majesty Yuloli’s father," the High Priest spoke sternly, "who was the preceding Reinayier king before the last queen."
Yuloli’s father...
That was the last savior of the Source World, who due to resisting the Abyss King suffered heavy wounds, ultimately having to return to the Akasha continent, selecting the next successor and leaving a letter for Yuloli.
"This... is related to him?"
Reiger couldn’t help but mutter.
"Yes." The High Priest did not notice Reiger’s peculiarity and continued, "We found out that although the former king had only one daughter, Her Majesty Yuloli, he did have a sister."
"The documents stated that the former king’s sister suffered in the womb and passed away shortly after birth."
"This led to the former king, during his generation, being an only child without any other siblings."
"So?" Reiger raised his gaze to the High Priest and questioned, "Is there a problem?"
"Indeed." The High Priest nodded, "The documents also recorded one thing — after the daughter died, the former king’s mother didn’t bury her but took her away."
"Thereafter, the former king’s mother never returned."
"The former king utilized the entire nation’s strength to search for traces of his mother and discovered her last known location was the temple that enshrined ’God’."
With these words, not only Reiger but even Liz’s expression changed.
"God"...
That undoubtedly refers to the dimensional cube, a celestial object that altered the fate of humans and led to the birth of Reinayier.
The former king’s mother took her already deceased daughter and ultimately appeared in the temple enshrining the dimensional cube...?
"Did she go to a different world?"
Reiger solemnly spoke.
"No one can confirm that, including the former king," the High Priest stated calmly, "but as a mother, as a noble presence of the Reinayier family, if there are no means to save her daughter’s life in this world, it’s only logical that she might seek solutions in other worlds, no?"
That’s considered a traditional craft of Reinayier.
It’s not just the former king’s mother; even Reiger, upon finding no way to save Beluti, ran to the world of the British Lostbelt to seek Morgan’s help.
"This is the most suspicious record we could find."
"Therefore, let us boldly make a conjecture."
The High Priest looked at Liz and suddenly smiled.
"Your Highness, you are not a royal member lost in this world."
"You are the descendant of the former king’s sister, lost in a different world and rescued through the former king’s mother’s efforts."
"Or perhaps... you are the former king’s sister."
This was the High Priest’s speculation.
