Chapter 35 - The Unexpected Memory (2/2)

Luke ignored their stares, his gaze automatically fixing on the same red-gold flame hair. Slowly lowering his eyes, his sight caught onto the last image he saw before vanishing and awakening.

Violet eyes.

A powerful force ruthlessly slammed into his chest, painfully wrenching his ice-cold heart as he tiredly closed his eyes.

'Was this it? The reason why I was so agitated and against the serpentine entering the Underworld Palace? Against the two of them being together?'

But how was this possible?

This memory was locked inside his mind, meaning that it was an old memory that was at least 500 years old. And it was also more than 500 years ago that he had met the girl.

She was human. He was absolutely certain about that. And as a human, she was mortal, a being that should be dead and gone since long ago. So, how did she suddenly become a serpentine of the snake clan?

Magical creatures had the ability to live long lives and or possessed immortality. But even they did not have the ability to change the auras that gave clue to their ancientness.

However, there was no change in the girl's aura. It was clearly still as youthful today as it was 500 years ago. Not even a slight change was to be found in her vigorous and lively vitality.

Or it might not even be the same person that he met 500 years ago. However, that could not explain how two completely different people had the exact same appearance and aura at the same age frame.

If the two people were one and the same, then the only explanation for such a phenomenon would be rebirth.

The girl was reborn 18 years ago as a serpentine of the Snake clan. And she might have found him familiar in their first meeting due to the meeting in her previous life.

But since she did not have any memories of her previous life, she probably shook the feeling away.

'However, why did she become the Werewolf King's mate?'

He could not stop himself from contemplating that question as he pieced the memory fragment together with what he believed to be the likely turn of events.

Unbeknownst to him, even though Versailles did not have the complete memory of her first life, thanks to the gem of 'three lives,' she remembered the meeting with him.

She just no longer wanted to get involved with him, especially not after the farce he put up.

”Are you not going to say anything Supreme Elder?” The demon queen, who was convinced by the supreme elder's reasoning, immediately urged him anxiously, wanting him to respond to the serpentine's questions.

If the Supreme Elder backed out, then they would have no backbone to lean on.
