Rebirth Of The Duke's Daughter

Chapter 193

"The Noble family? Didn't they die out completely?" The Gririth Emperor, Vasu, questioned, his voice filled with skepticism. He had heard that one of the duke families in the Mireraweth kingdom had been eradicated due to their ties with the Maedda kingdom. "Are you telling me..."

In response, Mila slowly removed her hood, the spell hiding her identity fading as she revealed her face. Her silky violet hair cascaded down, and her dark cyan eyes—a clear mark of the Noble family—met Vasu's gaze. "I am a child of the Noble family," she began, her voice steady. "The third daughter and the youngest child. I was about ten years old when I founded this group." Her words hung in the air, and Vasu studied her closely, realizing she was a remarkable woman who had accomplished so much at such a young age.

Mila continued, her tone carrying the weight of her past. "On the day my father made the decision to allow the Maedda emperor to take the Gririth princess with him, we were branded as criminals in the kingdom where we were raised. I did everything I could to save my father and Leo that day. It nearly cost me my life, but I managed to save those I love. I was in a coma for six years, and the man who took care of me during that time is now my husband." Mila's hand found Ambrose's, squeezing it gently. Ambrose stood by her side, his mask still hiding his face, but not the truth of who he was.

"The Zameth Emperor is your husband," Vasu said, his eyes narrowing as he recognized the truth in her words. He had heard rumors about the youngest Noble daughter marrying the Zameth heir.

"To me, he is just my husband," Mila replied, dismissing the titles that others might find important. "Whether he's a ruler or an emperor, it doesn't matter. He's the man I chose to marry."

A long silence followed, the air thick with tension as Vasu pondered her words. Mila couldn't tell if she had convinced him to help them, but she knew they had to try. Finally, Vasu broke the silence. "Tell me more about the issue you seek my help with," he said, his tone indicating a willingness to listen if not yet a commitment.

Mila took a deep breath and began to explain. "The Mireraweth kingdom has allied with the mana hunters, but their leader is none other than Prince Leroy, who is, from what I hear now, emperor." She saw a flicker of anger in Vasu's eyes at the mention of the prince's name. "We share a common enemy, and we need your help to stop him. The Maedda kingdom has already pledged its support, and we're asking for your kingdom's assistance as well. After this, we plan to seek aid from the Asiradda kingdom." Mila's voice was calm but urgent, emphasizing the importance of their cause. Their enemy, Prince Leroy, was growing more dangerous by the day, consumed by his lust for power.

Vasu regarded her with suspicion. "How do I know you're not working for him?" he asked, his tone cold. He couldn't afford to trust easily, not with so much at stake.

Mila sighed, knowing she had no choice but to prove her sincerity. She called upon her companions. "Skye, Kate, Vivian, Blizzard." With a wave of her hand, her four loyal beasts appeared, their presence filling the room with an aura of power.

'Master, you called us?' Blizzard growled, stepping protectively in front of Mila. His eyes scanned the room, wary of the unfamiliar surroundings. [Who are these people?]

'I was just about to ask the same thing. Who would come here in the dead of night to discuss such matters?' Skye's gaze flicked to Vasu and his guards, her body tense, ready for anything.

'It's been too long since our last battle together.' Vivian stretched her wings, feeling the tension in the air as her fellow beasts prepared themselves.

'Mama? Papa? Are we here to clean up the mess?' Kate looked up at Mila and Ambrose, her voice innocent, though she understood the seriousness of the situation.
