Episode 135 - Pool of blood

Previous chapter: Euria reveals the identity behind the no-name woman. It turns out that the no-name woman was Ario all along. The no-name woman ate a pill that changed her appearance, revealing his true identity. Ario names Eugene as a target. Con and Aedelak hid Eugene behind them as Dea fought Ario and won.

If anyone were to see Dea's expression right now they would think that he had lost someone very important to him. His face looked as if he was about to cry or had just cried. Dea watched Ario, the man who took him and his cousins, lay on the ground in an unsightly look.

This was the man who practically raised them. This was the man who saved their grandmother who almost passed to the other world. This was the man who brought her to the hospital and paid for all her expenses in exchange for nothing.

Just as he thought of his grandmother, a thought flashed in his mind. It was a dark thought that never would've crossed his mind if he did not see the 'real' Ario today. Doubt he would only have if he didn't trust Ario.

His eyes trembled as anxiety kicked into the pits of his stomach. In a shaking voice, he asked slowly, "Where... is our grandmother?"

"....."

Crown Prince Nexiel, Musician Hal, and the women in the room did not understand Dea's question. The room was filled with silence as people glanced at each other in confusion. It was a question that seemed very out of place. However, when this question was heard by Con, Aedelak, and Eugene, they immediately understood what Dea was thinking.

'Arie and Dea's grandmother separated from them because she had to be hospitalized.' Eugene furrowed her brows and she thought silently. She remembered feeling weird when they told her about this story.

The answer that Dea wanted to hear did not come out of Ario's mouth. Ario was deafeningly quiet and merely lay down in a pitiful state as if he were the miserable one.

Unable to control his temper, Dea stepped closer, "WHERE'S OUR GRANDMOTHER!" His shout was filled with impatience and unease, making everyone around him concerned.

Dea's face slowly turned into one of despair as he watched Ario's lips curve into a smile.

"What... do you think?" Amid the pain, Ario taunted Dea.

Dea's heart skipped a bit as his knees began to tremble. There was no need for Ario to say no more. No grandmother was fighting for her life to see her grandsons. There was no grandmother in the hospital. Ario had never admitted their grandmother to a hospital.

Their grandmother had passed away from the beginning...

No one expected to hear these tragedies in the past few minutes. Many truths were said that no one knows what to feel anymore. From Kal turning hundreds of women into tributes to the truth behind the Queen's death to the Crown Prince who was suddenly revealed to be Kal's child and was free from Promissium, and to Dea's grandmother not being alive.

There were tragedies on top of tragedies that everyone felt that nothing would surprise them any longer if they were to suddenly learn 'the truth about themselves.

In the midst of this silence, one young male's eyes were completely bloodshot as they glared at the heavily breathing Ario. Con's fist was clenched tight as he never expected this outcome. Immense anger washed over him and he wanted nothing more than to kill the man in front of Dea, but before he could make his move, Dea moved first.

Con's eyes were wide as he shouted after Dea, "Wait!"

His shout wasn't heard as something inside the calm and steady Dea snapped. He rushed towards the surprised Ario with a face filled with deep hatred.
