Chapter 171: 170 “Everything will belong to you.” (Please subscribe! Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
“Descendant of the Brave…”
Shane was at a loss for words.
Although he had already guessed that Tielle and Aridia had some sort of connection, even Shane would not have thought that the Elbein Family was also a descendant of the Brave, and that Tielle was one of them.
Even if the Elbein Family’s Brave was not the one who defeated the Demon King, and their strength and the legends left behind did not measure up to Hero Mithra, a Brave was still a Brave, the pinnacle of the Human Race, and at the very least, not inferior to the level of the Three Great Goddesses and the Six Great Demons.
Therefore, it was only reasonable for the Elbein Family’s ancestors to become Hero Mithra’s strongest companions, and for each generation of the Family Head to become the Captain of the Guard Knight Order.
After all, the Guard Knight Order was originally composed of companions from Hero Mithra’s side.
And the reason why Tielle possessed talents second only to Luoqi was now clear.
It was simply because the Blood of the Brave also flowed in Tielle’s veins.
But if that’s the case, then wouldn’t that mean…
“That unlikable Knight Captain is your father?”
Shane furrowed his brow.
To this, Tielle also spoke up.
“I agree with the first part, I also find him unpleasant, but forget about the latter part,” Tielle said with an extremely cold voice: “I do not wish to recognize such a man as my father, someone who is devoid of blood and tears, whose heart only contains concern for the Kingdom, or should I say, the safety of the Royal Family bloodline, does not deserve to be called a father to anyone.”
Clearly, Tielle harbored a great divide with Aridia.
The problem lay in…
“If you’re from the Elbein Family, then the blood flowing through your veins is that of the glorified Blood of the Brave, so why, back in the cemetery, did that noble young master who resembled a third-rate character call you a Descendant of Sinners’ Blood?”
Shane’s frown deepened.
“…”
This time, Tielle was left speechless.
“Ah…”
Shane also realized it and knew he had asked something he should not have.
Was this Tielle’s greatest secret, or rather, a secret too painful to recall?
Immediately, Shane thought to apologize.
But he was a step too slow.
“Indeed, Sinners’ Blood flows in my body,” Tielle said in a voice like a somnolent murmur: “Because my mother committed an unforgivable sin.”
Saying so, Tielle stood up from the bath, exposing her unclad, delicate body once again to Shane’s gaze.
Shane, who was about to say something, found himself at a loss for words, nearly stupefied by the sight before him.
Honestly, Tielle’s figure was not voluptuous, and she was quite petite, similar to an average fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.
But Tielle’s skin was very white, and the curves of her waist and legs were slender and beautiful, resembling an unripe and tender fruit. Although not yet time to be eaten, it was still incredibly sweet and tempting, making one’s heartbeat accelerate.
Shane could be certain that given time, Tielle would definitely not be much less beautiful than Nien and Luoqi of that level of peerless beauty.
Such was Tielle as she parted the water, her slender legs moving towards Shane.
Shane dared not even move a muscle.
The scene before him had completely captured his consciousness.
Under these circumstances, Tielle sat down in front of Shane, extending her hand to place her delicate palm on his chest.
“I want to become stronger, to become even stronger than that man.”
Tielle stared at Shane, with a determination he had never seen before, she made her declaration.
“Once, the Elbein ancestors, though talented, were not particularly strong beings, their status in the Human Race wasn’t high at the beginning, they belonged to the already declining descendants of the Brave.”
Yet, such ancestors of the Elbein met Hero Mithra and gained Mithra’s favor.
Thanks to this gift, the talent of this ancestor was developed, and under the assistance of Hero Mithra, finally lived up to the Blood of the Brave within him, and grew into an existence second only to the Hero among the Human Race.
“That is why the Elbein Family has served the Royal Family generation after generation, taking it as their duty to guard the Royal Family. Each generation’s Family Head has been heavily relied upon by the descendants of Hero Mithra’s bloodline, and over a thousand years, have developed to what we are today, no longer in decline.”
Such was the transformation of the Elbein Family.
Transformed into the protectors of the clan.
“Our ancestor was a protector of the Hero, a protector of the world.”
“Our family is a protector of the Royal Family, a protector of the Kingdom.”
“Even that man is now a favorite of the King, a mentor to the Princess.”
“Our lineage, since then, has never lost its connection with the Hero.”
Tielle finally revealed an important thought in her heart to Shane.
“I am still far from that man, so far that it feels hopeless.”
“It was not until I knew you were a Hero that I began to harbor some hope.”
“Perhaps, like my ancestors, I could awaken the Blood of the Brave within me by following the Hero, who knows?”
It was for this reason that someone as indifferent as Tielle had offered so much support to Shane after learning he was a Hero.
The reason was that Tielle wanted to tap into her own potential through Shane.
It was not a scheme.

This girl was just desperately seizing the possibility of becoming stronger, like grasping the last straw that could save her life.
Of course, Tielle’s thoughts were pure as well.
“I do not care why you were summoned to this world or what fate lies behind it.”
“If one day, you can fulfill my wish, then I will swear my loyalty to you.”
“Just like the original Elbein ancestor, I will protect you generation after generation.”
“Even for a thousand years.”
Such was the wish that Tielle harbored for Shane.
“Hope…”
Tielle murmured softly.
Shane did not catch what she said next.
Just like that, Tielle withdrew her hand, stood up once again, letting the hot water slide off her petite body, stirring a wave of splashing, as well as a wave of fragrance and steam.
And then, Tielle turned and left.
Watching such a Tielle, Shane finally had some reaction.
“Can I see what you look like?”
For some reason, Shane unconsciously asked.
Tielle paused for a moment, her small hand also stroked the mask on her face.
Immediately after, Tielle said this,
“If one day, I show you my true face, that will probably be the moment I swear loyalty to you.”
Tielle turned her head, glanced at Shane,
“By then, all that I am will belong to you.”
Having said that, Tielle did not linger, and left directly.
Shane stared blankly as she departed, not submerging his head into the water until much later.
“Damn that’s thrilling…”
