Chapter 972: Illegitimate Son

2After the agreement between the Two Generals was finalized, there was nothing much that Lucifer could do other than just go with the flow. 

This agreement was also slightly beneficial to him since he could learn twice as much while he was here. Moreover, without even having to ask, the Ostrin Clan patriarch had agreed to teach him their secret bloodline art. What could be better?

Lucifer nodded, agreeing with the suggestion of the two Generals. He wasn't going to make an issue of Lexton's tone. 

 Lexton sighed in relief. Now that he knew just how special Lucifer was, he decided to pay more attention to the young man and treat him like the Two Ancestors in terms of respect. 

"We should go back. The rooms are prepared for you all to freshen up. Oh right, in the evening, there is going to be a feast celebrating all your arrival."

Lexton told everyone about what he had planned for today. Even though the Two Ancestors didn't care for the feast, they agreed to attend. 

The Two Generals went with Lucifer in the car that was in the lead. Raayi and Ron also wanted to enter the same car, but they could only take the second car since there wasn't much space in the first. 

Raayi entered the second car with Ron and his mother. 

"Little one, you still haven't introduced this one," Ron's mother reminded her son after they entered the car. 

Ron hadn't even finished introducing before the incident with his father happened. He was yet to introduce Raayi. 

"She is Raayi, the third in the Tournament," Ron briefly introduced. 

Hearing that kind of introduction, Raayi's face twitched. Wasn't this implying that she was worse than him as he was ranked second? What kind of introduction was this?

"Greetings. I am Raayi Nimel, the granddaughter of General Nimel," she gave an introduction for herself. 

"Oh, Granddaughter of General Nimel?" Even though the woman had already expected this, she was still slightly surprised. 

She had heard that Raayi was a very cold person who hated company. She didn't have any friends and never accompanied anyone anywhere. In that regard, she was even more closed than her grandfather. For her to come here was indeed surprising. 

"She's also the future wife of Lucifer," Ron further stated, only to get punched in the shoulder by Raayi. 

"Ouch, hey, I am not lying, am I? The way you look at him nowadays, don't think I haven't noticed," the young man rubbed his shoulders as he rolled his eyes. 

However, right around that time, he felt the wind getting colder. 

"Alright, alright! I won't mention it!" Ron exclaimed as the temperature kept going down. "And here I was thinking of helping you in trying to win his heart. But if you don't want that, then so be it."

Raayi didn't say anything and just looked out the door. Even she didn't know what she wanted at the moment. 

Ron's mother also didn't interfere in the matters of the youngsters and acted as if she hadn't heard anything. However, deep inside she was quite surprised. 

'That guy, just what kind of person is he? But only did he win the favor of her son, but he also won the favor of the entire Star Alliance despite being a new recruit? Not only that, he managed to win over the Cold Princess, who didn't put any guy in her eyes? He really can't be that simple. It seems I really need to treat him well.

The entourage of the Ostrin Clan reached the central mansion in the city. 

Ron's Father personally led the Two Generals to their rooms. He also made last minute preparations to assign two nearby rooms to the two youngsters so he could also escort them. 

After leaving all of them in their rooms, he finally left and caught up with his wife. 

"This guy... It seems I really avoided a calamity today," Lexton told his wife, letting out a relieved sigh. "If those people had left because of me, Father would've beaten me without a care in the world."

"Yeah. I could also see that they pay a lot of attention to Lucifer. It's as if Lucifer is already decided to be the next King of Star Alliance. We should also do our best," Ron's mother agreed. 

She served some water to her husband and made him sit down. 

"I still don't understand one thing," the middle-aged man let out as if talking to himself. "Why would father say that he will teach him our secret skills? Can an outsider even learn those skills? If I'm not wrong, a person needs our Bloodline to use those skills... So why?"

"Could it be that Lucifer has your Bloodline? Is it possible that he might be the illegitimate son or grandson of your father?" The woman asked, tossing a wild assumption. 

There was nothing else that could make sense to her. If Lucifer really didn't have their bloodline, then this skill was useless. It was no different than teaching a donkey how to walk on two feet. The only thing that made sense was that the guy had their bloodline and not a random bloodline, but the Royal Bloodline since only the Royal Bloodline members, who had the purest Bloodline, could learn those skills. 

She was sure that her husband didn't have an illegitimate child to share the Royal Bloodline without her knowledge. And her son was too young to have a son that was around the same age as him. That only left the old ancestor. 

"Could it be that's why your father didn't return here as much as he used to? He had been taking care of his secret family, using the excuse of being busy in the work of the Star Alliance.

While there were some people who were trying to make Lucifer the illegitimate son of General Ostrin, he was lying on bed in the room that was assigned to him, lost in thoughts.
