Chapter 434: 427 "Moro

"Murdered?"

Shane’s heart tightened involuntarily at Harvis’s words.

"What happened?" Shane turned his gaze to Harvis and said in a deep voice, "The Lefirut Family is Tielle’s maternal home, isn’t it? I had heard that they were interested in Tielle’s talent and had always planned to take her back, but I never heard that they wanted to kill Tielle."

Therefore, Shane had not at all anticipated that the news Harvis revealed would be related to Tielle’s life and death.

Seeing Shane take the matter seriously, Harvis knew his information must be correct; Viscount Bezut had a very close relationship with the daughter of the Elbein Family.

Ordinary people wouldn’t know this information, only someone with means like Harvis could find it out.

After all, Shane and Tielle had never shown much closeness in public, and their relationship was even more deeply hidden than the one between Shane and Luoqi, to the extent that ordinary people could never know.

Harvis had seized upon this fact, thus considering Shane someone worth collaborating with.

So...

"Let me start from the beginning."

Harvis considered his words, then began to tell the story.

"Actually, this has to start from ten years ago."

That year was precisely when the Royal Capital had been attacked by the Slaughterer Faction of the Old Demon Clan.

According to Harvis, everything started then.

"In the year before that, relations between the Empire and the Kingdom weren’t as friendly as they were before, but they weren’t as tense as they are now," Harvis said. "Even though the Empire and the Kingdom had a few wars over border disputes in history, the battles were always limited to the border and never affected the domestic situation of each other."

Shane had also understood this.

The history of the Empire’s establishment went further back than that of the Kingdom.

The Kingdom was founded a thousand years ago by the Hero who had defeated the Demon King, and the founding King was the last Hero. After that, the Hero Summoning secret ceremony was sealed, so naturally, the Ragna Empire could only have been established before the Mitra Kingdom.

However, unlike the renowned Mitra, the Hero ancestor of the Ragna Empire was not well-known; he may have been powerful among Humans, but he barely compared to other Heroes, ranking at the lowest among the Heroes of all generations. Thus, once this Hero had established the Ragna Empire, he was killed by a Demon of the Demon Clan in just a few years.

That Demon was Ai Yi.

Ai Yi had killed two Heroes, which is why his name was so notorious and feared by many.

Because of this, even though the Ragna Empire was a nation founded by a Hero, it could be considered to have gone through countless hardships. It faced not only much criticism but also various difficulties.

Shane heard that in that dark age, the Ragna Empire, though founded by a Hero, had lost its Hero and was not only targeted by many of the Demon Clan, but also coveted by many of the Human Race.

After all, for the Demon Clan, which vehemently hated the natural enemy Heroes, the Ragna Empire, a nation founded by Heroes, was a thorn in their side. As for other nations of the Human Race, no matter what, the Ragnar Empire Royal Family was the Descendant of the Brave, having the blood of Heroes. If they could marry into them and obtain descendants with the blood of Heroes, it would be a great matter indeed.

Therefore, at that time, the Ragna Empire faced severe targeting.

The Demon Clan’s forces frequently invaded this Empire.

The various countries of the Human Race put all sorts of pressure on them, forcing the Imperial Family to intermarry with them.

In order to survive that era, the Ragna Empire struggled mightily to the utmost, not only sacrificing their dignity multiple times, reducing Royal Family members to mere breeding tools to gain the support of other Human nations but also continuously sending the elites of their nation to the battlefield as a frontline force against the Demon Clan army, enduring countless life-and-death situations.

Under such circumstances, the Ragna Empire barely survived the darkest era and finally emerged in the war a thousand years ago as the Human Race’s most powerful nation, a genuine military Empire.

But at that time, Mitra emerged out of nowhere. Not only was it entrusted with high hopes by the Human Race, succeeding in defeating the Demon King, but also established the Mitra Kingdom right beside the Ragna Empire. With the help of the Divine Race and the Human Race, it rapidly developed and soon became a nation that could rival the Ragna Empire.

How could the Ragna Empire, after enduring so much darkness, accept this?

It wasn’t just about feeling emotionally unbalanced; it was also because the location Mitra chose for the establishment of the Kingdom was actually the battlefield where the Demon King had been defeated.

And the Ragna Empire was right beside this battlefield. What did that prove?

It proved that during the war, it was them at the forefront, bearing the brunt of the greatest pressure brought by the Demon Clan army.

And yet, as the nation that withstood the most enemies on the battlefield and bore the greatest pressure, they not only failed to receive the rewards they deserved, but even the land of that battlefield was taken over by Mitra. The Mitra Kingdom, also established by a Hero, did not suffer any difficulties or criticisms; instead, it was cloaked in glory, constantly helped by the Divine Race and other Human nations, and rapidly developed to become a peer of the Empire. Considering the perspective of the people of the Ragna Empire, one can only imagine how glaring this was.
