I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 408 Family Blood

"Since the losing power of my eldest sister, the Heart kingdom also lost their influence over Osmines kingdom. Some people start to blame my sister for it. Then, my second sister, Ellyn Heart, was forced to receive some… strict training."

"However, sister Ellyn was already a teenager and quite sensible at that time. She keeps fighting back despite receiving harsh punishment until she finally marries a prince from the Urdrary kingdom."

"I don't know the details. However, she apparently gets tortured and humiliated there. After a year of preservation, she finally ended her life and made the contract annulled. This news impacted heavily on my third sister, Elia Heart."

"Somehow, this makes my third sister's training more strict and ridiculous. In the end, my sister Elia Heart couldn't withstand the stress and pressure before she also ended her own life." explained Jayna before staying silent for a while.

"Sister Elia.. She… said Break.. Break this curse. Those are her last words to me before she decides to suicide. At that time, I didn't truly understand her words since everyone never told me about this forced marriage contract."

"Learning from my two dead sisters, my mother decided to teach me and mold me from a young age. However, she didn't realize the true worth of a seventh-grade combatant's child."

"Unlike my sisters, my mother conceived me after my father became a seventh-grade combatant. Thanks to that, I have greater talent and intelligence compared to other children at my age."

"Although I am still just five years old, I already know what is wrong and right like it is my instinct. I know that what was taught by that old hag and mother is wrong. Then, I started to rebel and get punished for it."

"Each day, the punishment gets harsher until that day comes. That old hag and mother tried to humiliate me and crushed my pride. At that time, I was enraged and subconsciously released my mana. I wanted nothing but to kill those two people."

"In my mind, I keep repeating the word of killing continuously before I get knocked out by uncle Darius who is nearby. According to him, I somehow released killing intent towards them and scared the shit of them."

"Since then, I started having trouble keeping my emotions and became easily irritated. Coincidentally, this incident made my father interested in me and protected me from my mother's stupid training."

"Though it seems after my sister's death, Father already protects me from those ridiculous training. But, he only actively began to protect me after that incident." as Jayna finished her story.

"Angus… I know she is hateful and I will never forgive her for what she made me through. However, she is still my mother. No matter how bad she is. She is still my mother by blood and I can't just keep hating her." explained Jayna.

"That's why now I feel nothing about her. Although I still couldn't forgive her, I didn't hate her too much. So, could you please do the same thing for me?" asked Jayna.

After being silent for a while, "Fine. However, I will never let her hurt you again. No matter if she is the Empress or your blood mother, I will make sure she experiences something worse than death if she hurts you again." said Angus.

Knowing how overprotective her boyfriend is, "It's okay. That's enough." replied Jayna.

"Hee… I don't think it is a good idea to torture the Empress." as they heard a voice from the tent entrance.

Both Jayna and Angus are immediately ready to fight since they couldn't feel the other party's presence until a moment ago. Before they could react, they saw a flash of crimson light. Then, Jayna gets a hug from a beautiful, mature red-haired woman.

Just as Angus wants to attack the woman, Angus notices Jayna's thoughts and stops his attack. At the same time, Jayna didn't know why but she felt familiar with the woman.

It has a different feeling from when she hugs Angus. She feels like getting a hug from someone very close to her blood, which is a strange feeling since she has never experienced being embraced by her family before.

"Who are you?" asked Jayna while still in the woman's arm.

The red-haired woman releases her hug and looks at Jayna's blue eyes.

"Huft.. I guess you are really Leon's daughter. You possess too many similarities with him. Be it your eyes, face, or hair. Though I am certain that Leon didn't have this red color shade in his hair tip. Anyway, I apologize for my foolish sister's deed."

"I don't know the details about what she did to you, but I know it must be a painful experience for you. If I know this, I should visit you sooner, my beautiful niece." said Extalia while touching Jayna's blonde hair.

"Y-You are Aunt Extalia?!" exclaimed Jayna.

"Yup. I am your one and only aunt." said Extalia while combing Jayna's hair softly.

"Why are you here?" said Jayna while tears fell from her eyes.

For the first time in her life, she feels the warmth of her blood relatives. The warmth of family that she longed for years since she was born. Noticing Jayna's tears, the Duchess is surprised and realizes Jayna's state of mind.

Extalia is not only a capable fighter but also an intelligent and sensible woman. As King Leon said before, she is one of the greatest geniuses in the human race. Sometimes, she can guess other people's thoughts only from body language and expression.

Seeing Jayna's condition, she knows Jayna is longing for family love. Extalia immediately hugs Jayna again while Jayna's tears begin to fall more.

"Suushh.. It's okay. Your aunt is here now." said Extalia while stroking Jayna's back.

"Damn... I'm going to beat Leon later. How could he let his precious daughter like this?! I know he didn't love Dahlia, but he should at least take care of his child properly." grumbled Extalia.

Hearing this, Jayna couldn't help but laugh and calm down as no one dared talk about her iron-blood Father this casually.

'From her remark, it seems Angus' prediction about her relationship with Father is true.' thought Jayna while releasing her hug and going towards Angus' side.

"It seems you are calm now. Still, you two don't look surprised at my words. " said Extalia.

"Angus predicted you have some kind of relationship with Father. He said Father and aunt love each other. From what I see, it seems something happened recently between Aunt and Father." explained Jayna.

'Sharp!! These two kids are too sharp!!' thought Extalia while observing the calm black-haired boy in front of her.

"Angus, big sis, there is a lot of flashy flashy outside." said Anna while entering the tent.

Angus wasn't surprised at this since he already knew about it and Anna's arrival. Though if it is another person, he will not hesitate to take out his twin sword artifact and cut the other party into a thousand pieces.

Besides Anna and Lily, no one dares to enter Angus's tent unless they are being called. Otherwise, that person will experience a horrible death.

All the royal guards already know whenever Angus and Jayna spend time together, no one should interrupt them, even if it is an emergency.

In the past, a royal guard dares to interrupt their time and happens to see Jayna's blushing face. Later, that same royal guard was found dead with a thousand cuts on his body. People also find an apology letter for interrupting Jayna and Angus' time.

The horrible thing is the letter is written in the royal guard's handwriting. Moreover, everyone who is a combat expert could easily find that it is impossible to apply these thousands of cuts on his own body.

Furthermore, the cut is so precise and avoids any major artery. The cut is deep enough not to get easily close and healed by the royal guard's strong body. However, it is also not deep enough to bleed him to death for a short time.

"Ahh… there is also red flashy here." said Anna while pointing at Extalia.

"Hmm… You must be the rumored monster-minded girl, Anna." said Extalia while observing the little troublemaker.

Anna didn't reply and immediately ran toward Angus and Jayna. After a while, the Extalia released a long sigh.

"I guess the rumor that you are a magnet for trouble is true. Anyway, dress up and meet me outside." said Extalia.

"I hear you two like to do it a lot, but I never thought you would only wear transparent lingerie in the middle of the day and stay beside a massive graveyard. It is really beyond my mind." added Extalia before going out of the tent.

Hearing her aunt's remark, Jayna couldn't help but blush, embarrassed.

"Hmph.. What's wrong with that?! You look more beautiful in this." retorted Angus while putting his hand on Jayna's waist.

Feeling Angus's soft touch through the thin fabric makes Jayna want more.

"Yeah.. yeah.. Big sis is super sexy now. She is like a bitch in the heat." chimed Anna from the side.

The couple immediately glared at the little troublemaker before hitting her small head. *Bonk* *Bonk*

"Ouch!! It hurts!! It hurts!!" said Anna while rolling on the ground and holding her head.

"Anna, where did you learn such language?!" reprimanded Jayna.

"Yeah. Moreover, big sister Jayna is not a bitch. She is just on heat now." said Angus.

"Angus!!" yelled Jayna while getting more embarrassed.
