Chapter 1136 Katherine And Violet
1136 Katherine And Violet
"Now that I think about it…"
The lady with the gentle demeanor looked at the one with the cross earring and asked, "Do you remember the big incident that happened in the clan around half a million years ago?"
"Hm?" "You know the one…" the lady raised her eyebrow, trying to hint at something. Suddenly, the lady with the cross earring frowned and said with a soured expression, "Katherine, are you talking about those traitors?"
"That's right, Violet. I'm talking about them."
BAM!
The lady with the cross earring, Violet, slammed the table and said, "Don't talk about them. It still ruins my mood."
"Seniors, please calm down."
Isa had to intervene to mediate the situation. It seemed that she touched a nerve she shouldn't have. Violet and Katherine did not glance at Isa and had a stare down together. "This was the biggest internal conflict in the history of the clan. You could say the biggest conflict even." Katherine replied calmly. Violet gritted her teeth and responded, "Those traitors. Those damned traitors. It boils my blood to even think about them."
Katherine then turned to look at Isa. "There you go. We found a conflict that you wanted to know about. It was so problematic that it was buried deep inside our memories."
Violet didn't speak on this and closed her eyes, trying to cool her head off. Isa turned to look at Violet, then turned to Katherine, and said, "Senior Violet's reaction seems a bit too strong. What exactly happened half a million years ago, senior Kathy?"
Katherine rubbed her temples and said, "Well, it's a long story…"
…..
Royal Castle, Nightingale.
BAM—!
"W-w-who… w-who are y-y-you!?!"
Jacqueline was shocked out of her wits and asked a tall silver-haired lady with amethyst eyes as she slammed her back on a wall. Lilith along with Emilia sat around a round table, having tea. Her expression was calm and unfazed. "Sit down, child. Such worrying is not good for your health." Lilith said in her gentle tone, as if she was politely scolding an actual child. Jacqueline had never felt such a sense of dread before. Who was this being? Who was this damn being!?! How can someone so strong exist? As far as she knew, the pressure this lady was giving off was far greater than even Isa's. And Isa was one of the three greats! One of the third strongest in the entirety of Shen Ze! Jacqueline had never been so panicked before. She was a calm child who did not indulge in worldly affairs and kept to herself. Nothing ever fazed her and she rebelled against her clan only because those guys sent her on missions she didn't want to go. Their reasoning was that it would give her a good experience, but she did not want those things. Jacqueline was at odds with the clan and caused them tenfold the trouble that they caused her. While doing so, she was still calm and collected. However, right now, she was showing expressions she had never shown to anyone before. The shock was to such a high degree. "N-n-no… who—"
While sipping on tea, Lilith's gaze slowly shifted from looking at the tea in the cup to the frightened Jacqueline. As her sharp purple eyes saw her, Jacqueline felt as if she was stripped naked and being seen through. She had never felt so vulnerable in her life!
One single gaze from Lilith was enough to make Jacqueline stop her futile struggle. She looked down, twirled her fingers, and slowly but surely made her way to the round table. As she sat down, Emilia poured her a cup of tea. "Have some," she said. "Now that we are calm, tell me, why are you so frightened?" Lilith put the teacup down and asked in a gentle tone. "Aren't you a Evure? Aren't Evures fearless?"
"Hm?" Emilia suddenly caught onto something. "Evure?"
How could Emilia not know this name? This was her husband's last name and the name that belonged to the world's most powerful family!
There were other members in the Evure Family? Emilia didn't know about this before!
Lilith turned to look at Emilia and shook her head. "The name may be the same, but we aren't related. Don't worry."
Emilia gave an understanding nod and didn't ask further. Her mother-in-law drew a line and indirectly stated that she shouldn't ask her more. Jacqueline heard this statement but everything went over her head. She didn't understand what it meant. Lilith turned to her and said, "You didn't answer my questions."
Jacqueline was startled, but she tried to keep herself composed and held the teacup for support. The warmth from it made her significantly calm down. "I… I have never seen someone as powerful as senior." Jacqueline came out clean. She would literally die if the senior made a move. With how things were, she had a feeling that she couldn't even contact her clansmen. Even if she was able to, there was nobody who would be able to arrive on time. In case that happened as well, she didn't think there was anybody who could win against this lady here. She was just too powerful! Emilia flashed a small smile as she heard that. "Mother-in-law is indeed really powerful."
Emilia had sparred with Lilith once or twice to see how weak she was compared to her. The result of their sparring was… utterly disappointing. Sparring with her MIL felt like fighting a boundless ocean. No matter how much she tried to cause a ripple, it would become still water in no time. Lilith smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing to boast about."
Lilith then turned to Jacqueline and asked, "Are you a direct descendant in your clan?"
Jacqueline didn't know how to answer this. She didn't want to hand out sensitive information because what would happen if this lady here knew about such personal information regarding her? What would she do with it? Wouldn't answering her put her in grave danger?
Many thoughts ran in Jacqueline's little head. They were forcefully halted when Lilith tapped on the table with her index finger, gesturing her to snap out of it. Jacqueline gulped a mouthful of nervous saliva and said, "Y-y-yes."
She was itching to say no, but what if, the lady here thought that she may be some insignificant being of the Evure God Clan who could be disposed off anytime? If she said she was from the main family, she may be in trouble, but the lady would at least not harm her as she was worth a lot. She could ask for a ransom and get a hefty amount paid to her by the clan.
Both of Jacqueline's thoughts were foolishly wrong. There was nothing that Lilith lacked and there was nothing that interested her other than her two children. She was only asking Jacqueline these questions because she was somewhat curious. Lilith's mother was an important person from the main family. She wanted to know if this girl here had any connection to her mother or not. Since Jacqueline said she was from the main family, Lilith didn't beat around the bush and asked, "Do you know of Lauren Evure?"
Lilith expected something dramatic to happen, but Jacqueline tilted her head somewhat and asked back, "Lauren?"
Who was this? She had never heard the name of such a person before. Was this lady someone from the branch family? If yes, then knowing about her was going to be difficult. It wasn't much of a problem though. If this senior here let Jacqueline go back home, she could gather the information and give it to her, in case the person did exist in her family. Looking at her clueless expression, Lilith smiled and shook her head. It seemed that the newer generations of the Evure God Clan were not briefed about their history, and that her mother's name was wiped off from all places. "Are there any members in your clan that have made it past half a million years of age?" Lilith asked her next question. This timeframe was an important one. Jacqueline thought about it and answered, "Yes. There are lots of them."
Lilith calmly took a sip of tea at this response and didn't ask anything else. Emilia, on the sidelines, wondered, 'Mother-in-law seems quite serious today. What's happening? What has gotten her so interested?'
Emilia did not understand the context of things and wondered about it while Jacqueline didn't understand most things either and answered whatever was being asked. Limit on the other hand contemplated a lot of things. After a while, she turned to look at the girl again and said, "A last question for you, child."
Lilith put her teacup down and raised her bangs, showing off her bright purple eyes to Jacqueline. "What do you think of these eyes?"
