164: Chapter 96 Ancient Lineage_2 164: Chapter 96 Ancient Lineage_2 After speaking, Lola looked at Olivia again.

“How about it?

Have you decided?”

“…”

Olivia furrowed her eyebrows slightly, staring at her own palms, hesitating with a lost expression.

Before the disaster struck Selva, she had always thought she was just a normal village girl who was particularly good at fighting.

Even after continuously defeating those fierce enemy knights, she only elevated her self-awareness to—a village girl with superior martial arts skills…

Her following along this time was merely out of simple curiosity about how Miss Mage knew about her ancestors.

But, a lineage related to magic?

Heritage?

…The truth?…

In the girl’s memories, a vague impression of her mother—who she could hardly remember—flashed by.

Her mother’s beautiful golden hair, her sorrowful eyes…

Olivia…

Olivia…

It seemed like she could hear a call from the past in her ears.

She felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

“Olivia?”

Leon patted the girl’s shoulder.

The golden-haired girl then seemed to awaken from a dream, returning from her blurry childhood thoughts.

“Forget it, Uncle Bryan won’t harm you, if he never intended to tell you these things, there must be reasons he didn’t want you to know,” Leon consoled.

“Besides, you grew up happily without knowing your heritage.”

Having witnessed Mr.

Brian’s eagerness to hide his daughter’s identity from Count Trosa and his party, and how abnormal he had acted, Leon had already suspected that Olivia’s identity was no ordinary.

The unique physique of the girl as mentioned by Miss Lora made Leon feel even more that her heritage was considerably significant.

But if the girl herself wasn’t ready mentally, then there was indeed no need to clarify everything now and add to her worries.

At sixteen years of age, in Leon’s eyes, she was still partly a child.

Olivia silently looked at the young man beside her.

The concern in his eyes was just like the brilliance she saw that day in a desperate situation when she was filled with fear and helplessness.

A sense of reassurance slowly rose in her heart.

She recalled her father’s anxious attitude about hastily moving away from Selva.

Heading to a far-off North with no relatives, abandoning his fields and the home of over a decade to start anew—what exactly was her father worried about?

The girl’s gaze gradually grew determined.

She was eager to witness the many wonders outside of Selva.

She also looked forward to accompanying her friends through their thrilling adventures.

But she definitely did not want to naively leave behind all her friends and mates, abandoning the land where she had grown up, to venture into the unknown.

Putting her iron armor back on, the golden-haired girl calmly looked at the other: “Miss Lola, please tell me.”

Seeing the girl’s decision, Miss Mage nodded and opened her mouth to speak:

“Your ancestor was once the Commander of the Flame Sun Guard.

Of course, you need not know about his identity before his dereliction.

Because that guy, after being demoted by me, had another identity in this land, which you are more familiar with.

He was the founder of what now is the Northern Kingdom, the first-generation king of the Orland Royal Family.

Dusk Knight.

Gervin Drakemar.”

…

…

…After a while, seeing Olivia quietly gazing over the dark night from the tower window, Leon didn’t speak, allowing the girl time to process the sudden truth and he followed Lola back to the lower levels of the Mage Workshop first.

“By the way, where did you put the remains of the Flame Sun Guard that were left here?” Leon asked with curiosity.

“The body has been buried in the courtyard behind the tower, fulfilling the guard’s last wish.

The armor is now stored in the warehouse; I plan to use it as the base for the next Netti Card crafting ritual,” Lola picked up a Silver Token from the table and continued, “Although his soul has returned to the Dead Sea, perhaps we can call it back to the Mortal World, depending on whether he is willing to help.”

“You, however, need to quickly train your ability to harness magic power, otherwise even if you summon him, you won’t be able to maintain this ‘Heroic Spirit Card’ you mentioned,” Lola noted.

“Yes, don’t worry, whenever I have time when I return, I’ll train with Kovis, and I won’t be negligent,” Leon assured.

He collected the black Treasure Card, Boiling Heart, then curiously looked at Lola.

“Speaking of which, the founder of the Drakemar Royal Family was your Mage Guard?”

Hearing this, a rare discomfort crossed Lola’s gentle countenance: “When did I say that guy was my Guard?”

Leon scratched his head in confusion.

“He was a Dusk Knight, but he wasn’t my guard.”

Lola quietly closed her eyes: “I demoted Gervin and expelled him from the Pope Court because he failed to protect his monarch, committing an unforgivable dereliction.

Of course, my punishment kind of saved him, otherwise, that guy would definitely have ventured into the Spirit Realm Abyss to seek death as atonement…”

So complex…

Leon then understood the misunderstanding; although the two were in a hierarchical relationship, they were not directly affiliated.

Yet from this conversation, he suddenly got a vague idea of the era in which Miss Lola once lived.

Since Lola knew the founding king of Klonia.
