Chapter 675 Henrietta's Realization

Henrietta gave Victoria some time to process reality before speaking her mind, "There's something I've been meaning to ask, Sister Victoria. Why did you suddenly decide to come back here? It wasn't just to see me, was it?"

During their interaction, Henrietta had noticed Victoria displaying great interest and surprise at her power. However, her mind seemed to be elsewhere, as if she had other concerns.

"I won't lie to you, Sister Henrietta. Actually, this time, I returned to the Black Rose Kingdom to resume my search for my missing grandchild and was hoping you could provide some information to aid my search. It wasn't my intention to catch up on old times," Victoria admitted.

"I see…" Henrietta was momentarily surprised before pausing to recall, "If I remember correctly… You ended your search two years ago because the fire of Vivienne's Soul Lamp was…"

"That little fire was rekindled," Victoria firmly stated.

"It was rekindled…? What?" Henrietta expressed her shock, asking, "How is that even possible? How can the fire of life be extinguished and rekindled? That would signify…"

"I don't know how or when it happened. However, the undeniable truth is that the tiny fire of life in Vivienne's Soul Lamp rekindled itself. My grandchild lives, and that's all that matters," Victoria stated with conviction but soon sighed, "This child has been lost for twenty years. I must find and bring this poor child home."

"Vivienne's child, huh?" Henrietta muttered thoughtfully.

"Hahaha, I bet their talent wouldn't be inferior to Vivienne's… Perhaps it is even greater. Wouldn't it be the Great House of Caelestis's greatest blessing if this child turned out to be the destined overlord that everyone feared, Sister Victoria?"

Henrietta was only casually chatting before sipping her tea and studying Victoria's expression when she noticed a vague resemblance, causing something to click in her mind.

Twenty years old? Victoria's grandchild? Vivienne's child? Peerless talent? Possible future overlord?

One person immediately came to mind!

"Pftt—!!!"

The intense shock of sudden realization caused Henrietta to spit out all the tea in her mouth. At the same time, Victoria, sitting opposite Henrietta, immediately became its victim.

Victoria stared blankly for a moment, face blathered in spit and tea, before asking with a wry smile, "Are you alright, Sister Henrietta? What's the matter?"

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Henrietta faked a violent coughing fit before replying, "I'm alright. I just swallowed tea down the whole hole, Sis… Victoria."

Suddenly, Henrietta found it difficult to address Victoria the same way she normally would. Simply thinking about it felt like a fishbone stuck in her throat.

Blood was drained from her face, making it look pale white.

"Are you sure you are alright, Sister Henrietta? You look like you just saw a ghost or something," Victoria mentioned with concern and doubt.

Henrietta's expression twisted, thinking to herself, 'Did I see a ghost? You are the ghost!'

'Oh, hell no... This can't be happening to me... I actually married and slept with my friend's grandchild. Do I still call her Sister Victoria or Grandmother-in-law? Oh, Pangea… How do I face her in the future? This is so shameful and embarrassing!'

While Henrietta's mind was in turmoil and panic, Empyrean Scarletsea suddenly burst into laughter, 'Hahahaha! This… This is certainly an interesting situation and predicament we have here.'

'How could you just laugh like that, Master? I'm in this situation because of you!' Henrietta sobbed, feeling miserable and torn by stress as Victoria stared at her cluelessly, awaiting her answer.

'Hehehe, there's no need to feel trapped, my dearest disciple. What's done is done. The only thing you can do is move forward bravely and accept whatever is to come of it,' Empyrean Scarletsea chuckled and said, 'Just tell her the truth.'

'Don't tell me you want to hide the truth and stop a bereaved grandmother from reuniting with her long-lost grandson forever? Are you going to be so cruel?' Empyrean Scarletsea added, anticipating Henrietta's reply with great amusement.

'Victoria naturally needs to know the truth about her grandson…but I can't tell her about my relationship with him… I can't… I just can't. Where would my face be if I did? I wouldn't be able to face her,' Henrietta complained.

'Kukuku, if you can't move past such a small and insignificant obstacle, you won't go far in life, my dearest disciple. Don't let it hold you back forever. There are only two types of people who can live long lives—villains and shameless people.'

'Just thicken your skin and tell her the truth. Regardless of how she sees you, she would, no doubt, be overjoyed once she learns about her grandson,' Empyrean Scarletsea said.

Fuuu….

Henrietta calmed herself down with a long breath and steadied her turbulent emotions before facing Victoria seriously.

"Nevermind me for now, Sis… Victoria. I've just realized something and may know who your missing grandchild is. I can see some similar features between you two," Henrietta confessed awkwardly.

Victoria's eyes widened before she immediately grabbed Henrietta's shoulders with excitement.

"Really?! Please tell me, Sister Henrietta! Who is my grandson?! Where is he now!? Can I see him?" Victoria eagerly inquired while feeling her heart tearing apart. "Oh, how he must have suffered all these years!"

A granddaughter wouldn't suffer much since witches had statuses in the seven witch kingdoms. freewebnove l.com

On the other hand, what could a twenty-year-old young man without any backing do from infancy until now?

He must have suffered terribly!

Victoria's body trembled, and her heart chilled as she thought about her grandson's childhood.

"He left the seven witch kingdoms to do some things, so you can't see him now. But even if he is outside the seven witch kingdoms at the moment, there's no need for you to worry about his safety, Sis… Victoria."

"What?! He's just a twenty-year-old young man! What can he even do outside, where danger is aplenty?!" Victoria anxiously questioned in her shock.

"What can he do, huh?" Henrietta smiled wryly before saying, "I don't know about other twenty-year-old young men, but your grandson can do many things, Victoria."

"He changed the fate of the Black Rose Kingdom and annexed the Holy Knight Empire. It's quite possible that he currently wields the strongest power and commands the greatest military force in Pangea."

"I believe you should have an idea about who I am talking about. It's hard not to hear about him, especially here, with the Vaanatics singing his tales and legends every day," Henrietta said.

"Vaanatics…?"
