242 Roanmad Clans Treason (2/2)

The current clan head was at the 2-star Master Rank while the elders were all just at the Veteran Rank; the clan head shouldn't have had any difficulties avoiding the clan falling in the hands of the elders if he hadn't been stealthy poisoned.

”I suppose that my father was one of the traitors, right?”

Yale never had a good opinion of his father; they almost never interacted when Yale was a child.

”I heard that your father supported that operation openly even though Ange was his own daughter...”

Yale didn't change his expression; he expected nothing from his father, but hearing that he even supported openly helping to kidnap his own daughter still disappointed him a bit. After all, Ange trusted her father. If he had only shut up and let the plan happen, he would have been a coward who sold his daughter for fear of being killed or enslaved, but at least he wouldn't have actively supported kidnapping his own daughter.

”He is even more despicable than I thought.”

Swordmad sighed after hearing Yale.

”That is not all the story. While the clan was preparing to lure Ange, your father managed to take out from the clan all his wives and children without everyone noticing. He even tried to save Ange, but he was injured trying to rescue her and fled. No one knows why he acted in that way, but his current whereabouts are unknown, and the same applies to all the people who he made disappear previously. The last I know about him was a letter he sent to us saying that Nacesai City would be attacked and asked us to be careful. Without that letter maybe we would have died under the recent attack.”

Yale was dumbfounded hearing that; he couldn't imagine his father acting like that after how he was treated when he was in the Roanmad Clan. However, he also knew that he was the only one who received such a special treatment from his father and Ange had only complained of her father by how he treated Yale.

”I don't know why your father helped to organize the plan to try to destroy it later, but he didn't seem to be on the side of those who attacked us.”

Yale nodded to that; he still dislike his father for not battling to the death to protect Ange, but at least his father wasn't a traitor nor truly wanted to harm Ange despite Yale's guess that he had used her as a decoy to save his other children and his wives without being noticed.

”Let's stop speaking about him. Now, we need to save Ange. I thought that I couldn't sense her bloodline due to the barrier, but she should be one of the bloodlines I sense towards the east.”

Swordmad didn't understand Yale's method to detect Ange, but he knew that they had the bloodline of the noble clans, so he didn't think that having such method was completely impossible.

”Those who attacked us came from a neighbor city situated at the east of Nacesai City, so your senses are probably working well.”

At that moment, Yale understood that Swordmad still thought that their problem was a war between two cities.

”Before anything else, you need to understand the importance of this matter. They are part of a bandit alliance that decided to call themselves the True Empire, and they want to rule over the Revgen Empire and the rest of the continent. There are traitors in the noble clans supporting them. I obtained the information about the problems in Nacesai City from the leader of the traitors in the Larken Clan. Of course, he is already dead.”

Swordmad didn't expect such an explanation; he thought that some bandits joined hands with the neighbor city to conquer Nacesai City; it was impossible for him to think of such a big plot.

As for the fact that Yale managed to obtain information from that leader, Swordmad didn't think too much about it. The Larken Clan was famous for being righteous and gave hard punishments to those who break the rules, so he expected that the traitors were caught and killed after obtaining all the information from them.

He also knew that Yale had been forcefully engaged with the Larken Clan, and Yale was a monster in terms of talent, so the fact that he obtained some important information wasn't outside consideration especially when it was information regarding his birthplace.

”I will go to rescue Ange. I have no time to lose. Master, you can accompany me if you want, but I don't plan to lose more time.”

Seeing how Yale was eager to go to rescue Ange without caring about the consequences, Swordmad couldn't avoid thinking about himself and how many times he did things like that. Of course, he planned to tag with Yale to rescue Ange.

”Wait. We haven't seen each other in six years. I still have to thank you for saving me in the special realm six years ago.”
