496 The Mystery Of The Dead
Selma Payne’s POV:
The Evaria Family held a funeral, and the main character was a man who was not even forty years old. To the outside world, he was the nephew of Sir Evaria.
However, after I found out about my ancestor’s clandestine love affair, I sent someone to investigate the Evaria Family’s current bloodline and confirmed that this man was the descendant of the illegitimate child.
Less than a week after the fall of the Evaria Family, the son of the illegitimate child died of illness. I vaguely felt their eagerness to seize the throne had something to do with this sickly invalid’s illness but ended up with nothing.
The dead man was well-protected by the Evaria Family. It was reasonable to say that he must have had something to do with the girls treated as breeding machines, but no investigation found any trace of him, as if he was not the sperm provider.
His death was another huge blow to the Evaria Family. After the funeral, the family seemed to have finally accepted their fate. They no longer tried to stall for time with all kinds of underhanded tricks. They ran to their fief with their remaining forces as if they were dead. They had the momentum of living their lives out.
The night before they left the Lycan pack, Casti had sneakily gone to the huge manor that had once belonged to the Evaria Family to meet someone.
I wanted to know who could make this weak and timid boy dare disobey my orders, so I told the people monitoring him to keep quiet and follow behind him to observe quietly.
The surveillant was one of my subordinates, an experienced and capable secret agent of the Intelligence Department.
I had no doubt about his ability, but the news he sent back surprised me – two children had actually found him, and one of them seemed to be trying to use some kind of ability to control his mind.
However, he didn’t know that this person had already become my kin, so his spiritual world didn’t completely belong to him, so he could stay awake despite some struggles.
The child immediately ran away after his failure, leaving only Casti to be captured. Casti seemed to have suffered some kind of severe mental shock. He had a high fever and remained unconscious. He would occasionally convulse and say some crazy nonsense. He had not woken up yet.
“You’re saying the boy tried to control you and almost succeeded?” I confirmed again.
“Yes.” The secret agent lowered his head in shame. “I tried to resist, but my willpower seemed to have no effect. If it wasn’t for your help, I think the boy would have succeeded. I would have become a walking corpse and hide all the secrets I have seen from you.”
Mind control... The Evaria Family...
I immediately thought of young Sunflower. This child had a terrifying power to control people’s minds while still in his mother’s womb. Could this be not a mutated individual but the power of a bloodline that had been secretly passed down?
I’d have my secret agents temporarily detain Casti and pay close attention to his condition. To inform me immediately when he regained consciousness.
As for the Woof Anca Family, I immediately sent someone to inform them that their beloved youngest son had a close relationship with the rebel’s descendant. I didn’t even have to say anything, and this opportunist family, who was used to taking advantage of the situation, obediently shut their mouths.
The nanny brought little Sunflower and the wolf cub to play in the garden in front of the Sunflower House. The children’s laughter was innocent and pure, but it could not calm my tightly furrowed brows and the waves in my heart.
I had always thought that little Sunflower was the descendant of the sickly man who had died, but the unique power of this child made me doubt my previous idea.
Was that boy related to young Sunflower?
Could my speculations have always been wrong? Young Sunflower was the brother of that mysterious boy or... His son?
However, the only descendant of that illegitimate child was the dead sickly man. Why would the Evaria Family have so much trouble raising an ordinary descendant? It couldn’t be that they had all gone crazy and used this to deceive themselves, right?
A few days had passed, and Casti had yet to wake up. The doctor believed that continuous epilepsy and coma had caused a very serious burden on Casti’s body. If this continued, he would die in less than a month.
“I’m guessing this is beyond the scope of medical treatment, Your Highness,” said Craig. “This is obviously not something that can be done by mental problems caused by psychological or pathological causes.”
Master Kevin was also not optimistic about this.
Misfortunes never come alone. Before they were resolved, another accident happened on Benson’s side. Julie was dead. She had committed suicide.
The sudden disappearance of the clues annoyed me, but at the same time, it also reminded me of another direction – what a déjà vu Julie’s encounter was. It was an inexplicable memory loss as if everyone’s memory of her had been wiped out overnight. This was an obvious form of mind control.
With regard to this, I once again placed my suspicions on the Evaria Family.
Perhaps the Woof Anca Family was involved in this, but who said they couldn’t be a shield?
Since there was someone in the Evaria Family who could control minds, and they had once had a good relationship with the Woof Anca Family, it was not impossible for these two ambitious schemers to join forces.
