80 Remains of The Wilkes (2/2)

The table wasn't too special but it seemed to be on an odd angle.

Picking it up and throwing it to the side, Dean found a couple of books beneath.

One was labelled with the history of the Wilkes family however Dean didn't care about this and instead threw away the thick book.

What grabbed his attention the most was a sealed envelope with an interesting wax seal.

If he was able to remember correctly, this specific was specially used by his grandfather when he was sending letters containing secrets the outside world should never know about such as trade routes.

Lacking the patience to wait and open the letter in a private room, Dean felt more comfortable opening it right now.

Contained inside was a small note with scribbles written in a messy manner, most likely due to it being rushed as the ink was slightly smudged.

{Dear Dean

If you happen to hear about the incident of what has happened to us, please do not take revenge. It seems we have offended a large power that in the end wouldn't tell us their identity.

A few of your relatives have escaped into the world and ran away from this incident in the hopes our bloodline still continues.

Your father has most likely died but you have the rights to know that his destination was the Zikel Clan's District. There you can ask around the name of 'Lily Zikel'

Sincerely

Your beloved grandfather}

Dean was chuckling at the irony that he shouldn't pursue revenge but he took it into his own hands because of a personal grudge and not such a poor reason.

His relatives rarely treated him kindly as all they could think about was making a profit to improve their families lives even if that meant the sacrifice of another.

It wasn't a surprise that his father died as grandpa did at one point mention that he was considered 'missing'.

A person who can't even take responsibility of an adult didn't need his approval of a son.

He spent many days beaten into a pitiful sight yet sometimes he could tell that his father would watch without any emotions.

This made him think that he may have been a bastard child but his father never mentioned a female partner or even bring a female to the clan.

Another one was that he was adopted which would also make sense but it seems his grandpa was persistent in acknowledging the factthat he is still his grandchild.

The Zikel Clan piqued his interest as he had never heard of this clan before and since his father wanted to go there, it meant this was a clan with significant power not in a local area.

The name 'Lily Zikel' rang 0 bells in his head and he was very tempted to just tear this paper into scraps.

However, seeing the tears his grandpa stained the paper and the mysterious Zikel Clan, Dean instead kept the paper within his Blue Orb.

There was a slight hesitation in doing so but when he tried to stop himself getting sentimental a sharp lack of something made him feel pain.
