Chapter 12: A conspiracy



Charlize regarded the pair with a thoughtful expression, her lips forming a tight line as she weighed their request. After a moment of contemplation, she conceded, her voice holding a hint of resolution, "Very well, I shall return in two days\' time. We can discuss matters then." Her words indicated a temporary reprieve, acknowledging the fragile state of affairs.

Diana, still wrapped in Jaegar\'s comforting embrace, couldn\'t hold back her tears. She clung to him tightly, finding solace in his presence amidst the upheaval.

Jaegar\'s voice trembled with concern as he implored Diana to reveal the truth behind the unsettling circumstances that had unfolded before them. His gaze remained fixed on her, seeking answers amidst the turmoil that consumed their hearts.

"Can you tell me what\'s this all about now?" Jaegar asked softly, his hand gently rubbing her back. Diana took a deep breath before finally opening up about the fragile state of affairs that had been plaguing her for years. She knew that it wouldn\'t be easy, but she also knew that she couldn\'t keep it all bottled up inside anymore, and Jaegar needed to hear the truth.

Diana, her teary eyes meeting Jaegar\'s, mustered the strength to recount the origins of their predicament. With a heavy sigh, she began to unravel the tangled web of their family\'s history and the dangers that lurked within.

"It all started back then, with those people," Diana began, her voice laden with a mix of apprehension and determination. "But they are not good, Jaegar. I don\'t want you to have any part in it. Unfortunately, it seems that my efforts to protect you have been in vain."

As she continued, Diana delved into the tale of his mother, her voice carrying a hint of nostalgia and sorrow. "Your mother, my sister, possessed a remarkable gift for magic from the moment she entered this world. When she turned fifteen, people from the academy arrived at our doorstep, just as they have now. They offered her admission and whisked her away to their hallowed halls."

Our parents were so proud of her. With each passing day, her talents grew, and she ascended to remarkable heights. She was dubbed the \'Witch of Chaos\' and became a star among stars within the academy," Diana explained, her voice tinged with a mix of admiration and grief.

Pausing for a moment to collect herself, Diana continued with a pained expression. "But then she met the prince of the imperial family. Love blossomed between them, and they fought alongside each other in countless battles. Eventually, she shared with me the news of her pregnancy with the prince\'s baby. They had a secret marriage and lived elsewhere after you were born."

"On the day of your birth," Diana\'s voice quivered, recounting the fateful events, "a major phenomenon enveloped the empire. The palace was shrouded in dark clouds, with thunder crashing through the skies. And as you came out of her womb, into this world, a colossal explosion illuminated the heavens above, its brilliance casting an ethereal glow across the land."

Tears streamed down Diana\'s face as she struggled to articulate the harrowing truth. "The imperial family believed that you were the catalyst for these calamities. They accused you of being responsible. And then, a few days later, a few assassins attacked her when she was weak and killed her, attempting to extinguish your life alongside hers."

Her sobs intensified, punctuating the weight of her words. "I don\'t know who exactly orchestrated this heinous act or why. Your grandmother brought you to me, and those assassins followed her to our home and killed my parents. Then she killed them all and brought both of us here, and we have been here ever since. She didn\'t say who sent them or why they would send them after a newborn son.

She spoke of the imperial family\'s treachery and the pursuit of assassins to eliminate you. It was obvious that someone from the imperial family sent them after you and your mother. She couldn\'t bear to witness your demise, and although she couldn\'t save your mother, she saved you. She whisked you away to this realm, shielding you from their reach.

After returning to the empire, she made sure that no one ever try to come for you again. She knew that as long as you were alive, the imperial family would continue to hunt you down.

But a few days later, after the incident, your father came, seeking to see you, but I denied him access and sent him away. I don\'t know how he found us, but seeing his face, I wasn\'t sure to trust him. so I sent him away. I couldn\'t fathom why he failed to protect her or why he didn\'t save her. Did he truly love her?"

A mix of frustration, anger, and sorrow enveloped Diana\'s words. "Back then, I was overwhelmed by my own helplessness. I couldn\'t identify who took your mother\'s life or their motives. I was consumed by the knowledge that I couldn\'t intervene and that I was powerless to alter the course of events. And now, it seems your father has sent these agents, these people, to tear you away from me.

It\'s as if he\'s repeating the same mistakes he made with your mother. But I won\'t let that happen. I\'ll do everything in my power to keep you safe. I know how it feels to lose someone you love, and I won\'t let you go through that pain again. "
