My Yandere Wives are Transcendents

Chapter 429 Revelation Part-1

"I thought you guys were leaving this morning?" Mariel asked as she looked at Eli, Scylla, and even Scarlet following her expectantly, her eyebrows raised in curiosity.

"That was the plan, but it changed somehow," Eli answered with a smile, his eyes scanning the group with a hint of mischief.

"Did you inform your professor?"

"I did," Eli replied.

"What did she say?"

"She said if I don't come tomorrow, she will make me repeat this year," Eli explained, a playful chuckle escaping his lips.

"Hahaha... that teacher is something else," Mariel laughed, shaking her head in amusement.

"Yeah... She's one hell of a teacher," Eli said with a smirk, his mind briefly drifting to the awkward moment when she had tried to kiss him. He hadn't heard anything about Rock lately, so he figured he might as well pay him a visit tomorrow.

Soon, they arrived at the Capital of the Kingdom and entered the grand castle, its imposing walls towering above them.

"Where is the King?" Mariel asked, her eyes scanning the bustling scene of maids and servants going about their duties.

"He is in the throne room" The Maids answered.

.....

...

Lucian sat on the throne, his fingers anxiously biting at his nails as the image of Asher Eli besting him played in his mind like a relentless recorder. No matter how much time had passed, Lucian could not forget those humiliating beatings.... a king, a ruler, being bested by a mortal was an utter disgrace.

"Today, I am going to teach that insolent bitch a lesson," Lucian muttered through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with a mix of anger and determination. He recalled how Mariel had refused to aid him, despite the Vampire Queen's pressure and her position as one of his subordinates. Shouldn't she, as a powerful magic user, have at least supported him when he needed it most?

"Your Majesty, Duchess Mariel requests an audience," a guard announced, interrupting Lucian's thoughts.

Rose and Mariel exchanged looks of deeper disappointment, realizing the extent of Lucian's emotional state, 'He's truly broken' they both thought in unison.

.....

...

Meanwhile, Eli wandered through the palace, Peeking into empty rooms, he sighed in frustration, 'Where is that man?' he muttered to himself.

As he moved to another room in search of.... Lucian's son.

Your next journey awaits at empire

After entering the palace, Mariel assured him that she would handle the situation inside. She knew Eli well enough to predict that he might act recklessly if he saw Lucian in such a state. So, she instructed him to wait outside with Scylla and Scarlet until she resolved matters within.

However, what Mariel didn't know was that Eli's focus had shifted entirely. Lucian and his affairs were no longer of interest to him; there was only one person he sought, someone who had not yet seen him or even heard his name. He entrusted Scylla and Scarlet to search for Lucian's son, knowing that they would be discreet and thorough in their search.

Scylla and Scarlet nodded in understanding, their expressions filled with amusement and curiosity as they set out to check every room, skillfully avoiding the guards' notice.

"Hmm?" Eli frowned as he entered a particular room within the palace.

Recognizing the room's owner, Eli's curiosity piqued, and he began to examine the surroundings with keen eyes.

Opening a drawer, he found an assortment of clothing—a mix of older women's dresses and younger girls' attire. Eli couldn't help but wonder about the odd assortment of sizes and styles.

"Why would she have these sizes?" Eli muttered to himself as he sifted through the dresses, searching for any clues or favourites among them.... it was then his eyes fell on something. His attention was soon drawn to a book with bloody fingerprints on its cover.

"Hmm?" Eli's frown deepened as he picked up the book, a sense of unease settling over him. He knew he shouldn't pry into someone else's belongings, but there was something about the book that intrigued him....the adult-sized bloody fingerprints added an ominous air.

"Should I...?" Eli hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to delve further. Eventually, He shook his head and decided to put the book back. Just as he was about to return it to its place, a small slip of paper fell out.

Eli stared at the white paper, its surface marred by drops of blood that seemed to seep into his very thoughts.... his eyes were automatically drawn towards the content..... His eyes widened in shock as he muttered,

"Mariel..... A-Aurora?"
