60 Kermus Guess (1/2)

Yale had difficulties to believe Serka's words.

The academy obtained for the first time a chance to go to a special realm, and Yale met the qualifications to go.

Then after entering the realm, Yale joined a group of nobles in which one of the members was his cousin who discovered his mother identity.

That didn't feel natural; Yale couldn't believe that he managed to discover that so casually or that he managed to met his cousin that easily.

However, there was undeniable that he and Ange were able to use Time Healing and that meant that they have the Zhan Clan bloodline.

Yale had seen how the other nobles reacted when Serka said that he used TIme Healing, the part of Time Healing being a spell from the Zhan Clan. Thus, Yale believed that at least that part was true.

As for really being Serka's cousin, at the moment Yale only have her words, so he wasn't sure, but he wouldn't say it in a loud voice.

After all, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with anyone in the group, so even if he couldn't confirm it, Yale would act as if he believed it.

”Yale, I understood that what I said may be difficult to believe. If you don't believe me, it doesn't matter, but you need to hear at least one thing.”

Serka turned serious again; she wasn't joking.

”You shouldn't let anyone else see your Time Healing, nor reveal your identity as a member of the Zhan Clan until I tell you. Otherwise, you may die.”

Kermu and Nurvey who were close to Serka had already deduced why she said that because they knew certain things about the Zhan Clan's internal affairs.

”As I said, some part of the clan were displeased with your mother's actions years ago. If they discover your identity, they might try to punish you instead of her. That is something that the clan won't approve, but if some elders killed you, the others wouldn't start a conflict due to a corpse. At most the killers would need to offer apologies.”

Yale was starting to feel that his blood relation with the Zhan Clan was beginning to be a pain.

”After leaving the realm I will talk with my mother, your identity should be revealed first for the ones who supported your mother, that way it would be difficult for the others to touch you.”

Serka knew how delicate was Yale's position in the clan given who his mother was.

Yale was still very weak; if his identity were revealed to other factions in the clan it would be troublesome, that was one of the main reasons she had told Yale the truth about his identity directly after discovering it. It would be difficult to say to him why he should be careful without explaining anything.

Furthermore, she wanted her friends in the group to know it, Yale was her cousin, so she didn't want her friends to treat him like a mere commoner, even if their group didn't discriminate powerful commoners and all had already an excellent impression of Yale, to her that was a matter of her cousin's honor.

Their group wasn't randomly formed, three of them were friends since many years ago, and Hyrk was recruited by Kermu as even if he was an elitist his moral character was quite good, he disliked abusing of his status even if he despised commoners.

The noble clans were able to ensure that few members of the younger generation were teleported together to the same place in the special realm even if they couldn't specify where.

Kermu's group was the tiniest of all, with only four members, Kermu was very picky with his teammates.

He preferred to look for a talented commoner or a random noble without group than joining hands with some nobles that he disliked.

At most, if he didn't find anyone of his liking, they would go with only four members even if that was dangerous.

Thus, Serka was sure that no one in the group would make the things difficult to Yale even if his identity were revealed to them.

”Then, I will be careful, thank you for the advice.”

Yale didn't know very much about the noble clans, but he would be more careful after Serka's advice.

Even if the other members of the group had difficulties to believe such a coincidence, they knew Serka's personality, and she wasn't a liar, in the whole group she was the last person they would expect to lie, so they believed her.

Kermu supported his fiancee's words on the outside, but inside he was pondering how could be such coincidence.

”Could it be that Yale was fated to meet with the Zhan Clan or he had some incredible luck to join his cousin's group casually?”
