When Silvestres notified me about the upcoming trial that was meant for me. I immediately execute all the plans I've been hiding on my sleeves. I already seen this coming, them ganging up on me, hindi na rin naman bago sa'kin ang ganito.
I have eyes and ears all around this Empire, what's the purpose of building the Genesis guild if I do not use it?
Hindi nakaligtas sa'king kaalaman ang binabalak ng ilang nobles na gamitin ako at pabagsakin. Kasama na doon ang kaninang mga nag testify laban sa akin.
Baron Finneas. Count Deliaz. Lady Louise.
They are known for their vicious tricks and greediness. And the one who was backing them up was no other than the house of the Emberled. I didn't know Lylia's anger toward me would take it to another level, but I'm glad that she's stupid enough to set their trap for themselves.
But did they really think I came here not prepared? I have all the things that can ruin them in my hands. I've contacted 2 individuals for my plans, and one of them is Dawn...
While the other one is Achlys.
“I am innocent,” I repeated, slowly taking in the words I was about to spill.
“If you're curious about my identity then I shall speak and reveal the information you've all been asking me.”
The other side smiled triumphantly while looking at me. They probably thought that they finally pushed me to reveal myself, when I really intended to do that in the first place.
I can feel the worried gazes from Silvestres, Estelle and Kieffer. As much as I don't want to talk about my past, I don't have a choice but to do that since I need to clear my name.
I'll reveal one of my weaknesses.
But it is what it is.
“My real name is Scylla Adrienne Athanasios, I used to live in the streets of this Empire before I found my way to the West Kingdom.”
The crowd gasped after hearing what she has said, umani ito ng iba't ibang reaksyon lalo na ang parte na kung saan sinabi niya na dati siyang pulubi.
“No wonder, you're born from a lowly origin that's why you—” Lady Louise didn't finish her words when my eyes glowed sending warnings at her.
“For your information, Lady Louise. I wasn't born from a lowly origin, wherein fact, I came from a well-known family,” I said in matter-of-fact tone. Hindi ko inalis ang mata ko sa kaniya na patuloy hinahalukay ang kaloob-looban ng kaluluwa niya.
“Can you tell us the name of the family, Duchess?” The Judge asked.
“Yes, I was the illegitimate daughter of the Archduke Ruthford.”
I found Nevan Ruthford flinched on his seat, or should I say my father. He has a serious expression on his face, nakakunot ang noo nito ngunit halata ang pagkagulat sa kaniya.
Nagtaka ako ng mabakas ko ang maliit na kaginhawaan doon. As if he just confirmed something.
Ang ibang nobles naman ay hindi makapaniwala na may anak pa ang Archduke, and what shock them the most is who it is.
“Are you telling the truth, Your Grace?” tanong ng isa sa mga nobles.
From the color of my eyes to some resemblance in my features. Isn't it obvious? I know the Ruthford's already has a hunch, they're just waiting to confirm it.
