In the familiar study room, Luo Ya looked at a bookshelf full of diaries and skillfully pulled one out.
These were hundreds of years old antiques, and it was also the price of Ponte's ability. During the New Year, Luo Ya thought about burning them, but now, he just felt a little nostalgic.
In the journey of the historical fragment, although it wasn't long, Ponte left a deep impression on Luo Ya. Now that Luo Ya returned to reality, he sighed and no longer had the interest to destroy the corpse.
"What exactly are you going to tell me about the ancestors?"
Luo Ya flipped through the pages of psychological crimes records while absent-mindedly asking Nuo Aier. The blonde girl was sitting at the side, stroking the teacup that Wei Duoliya used. After hearing Luo Ya's question, she turned her head with a troubled expression.
"As you know, I've broken through the bloodline and advanced to Silver, so these days, I've been stabilizing my condition. But while adjusting my body's condition, I also looked through many records in my free time and found some hidden secrets."
"Oh, is that so? What is it?"
"There are many, such as … I'm actually a descendant of Vader."
"I see … What did you say?"
Luo Ya, who was still calmly flipping through the book, answered subconsciously. But after the words left his mouth, he suddenly reacted. He jumped up and looked at the girl on the chair in surprise, his eyes were full of disbelief.
Nuo Aier wasn't surprised by Luo Ya's reaction. She just smiled bitterly and nodded.
"You didn't hear wrong, I, or the current royal bloodline, strictly speaking, is inherited from Vader Heiz Crete."
"What happened? Wasn't he defeated in a battle with Ryan of the Holy See in history? "
"He lost, but it doesn't mean he died."
Nuo Aier sighed and told Luo Ya the confidential information kept by the royal family.
More than a hundred years ago, at the end of the Gemini War and the March Rebellion, although Vader was powerful, he didn't go all out because he couldn't find Wei Duoliya. In other words, he didn't reach Source Rank 2, so Saint Leon easily defeated him when he returned.
After quickly quelling the rebellion in St. Lorraine, Vader was naturally put on trial. But unlike the rumors of a secret execution, Vader was in fact only imprisoned.
There were three main reasons for this verdict. The first was naturally the attitude of the Holy See Leon at that time.
Leon was a relatively weak monarch in the history of the Heiz Crete family. He was good at fighting for the interests of the kingdom, but he was a typical peacemaker. He was very tolerant of the nobles in internal affairs and didn't know how to deal with his own people. This could be seen from how he was forced to send Princess Mary out of the palace to wait for an opportunity.
However, such a good-for-nothing had actually become strong after a few setbacks. After losing his wife, he stood his ground on the matter of Vader and fell out with the nobles for the first time. In his opinion, it was because the nobles had forced Mary away that such a huge problem had occurred in his family. Therefore, he firmly refused to execute Vader.
The second reason was because of Wei Duoliya. At that time, Wei Duoliya was the representative of the conservatives. Her sibling relationship made it impossible for her to kill her brother who had already been defeated. Furthermore, Wei Duoliya had Pont behind him. This meant that the interest groups after the victory of the war remained silent on this matter.
The third reason was because of the five major nobles. As everyone knew, the five major nobles were the foundation of the Theocracy. Now, except for the Acate Family and the Luxen Family, who had been neutral for ten thousand years, the other three families had more or less participated in the rebellion. This didn't even include their vassals. It should be known that the nobles who could send troops all had territories. If this matter was investigated further, half of the nobles in the Theocracy would be implicated.
Therefore, the nobles who had contributed to Vader's sentence and punishment didn't want it to be too severe, because that would mean that they, as accomplices, had also committed a serious crime. Therefore, when they found out about the attitude of the royal family towards Vader, they immediately jumped out to whitewash him.
With these three reasons, Vader's final outcome was life imprisonment. The news released to the public was that he had been secretly executed.
"I see. I understand why Vader didn't die. But why are you his descendant? What about Wei Duoliya? "
"According to the historical records, Wei Duoliya's ancestor was married. But in reality, it was a fake marriage. Her husband, William, was played by her servant girl disguised as a man."
"Is that even possible???"
Nuo Aier's words completely shocked Luo Ya. He never thought that the royal family would be so playful. Miss Angel expressed her understanding of Luo Ya's shock. In fact, when she first found out about the truth, her reaction was much greater than Luo Ya's.
"Wait a minute. The Queen of Wei Duoliya's fake marriage. Could it be that …"
"Yes. One reason was to legally adopt her younger brother Vader's son. The other reason was Mr. Ponte."
After listening to Nuo Aier's explanation, Luo Ya understood that the conservative ideology of that era was far more serious than he had imagined. A third party from the royal family who interfered in a noble's marriage would be viewed with hostility by all noble women. After all, in terms of qualifications, there was basically no woman who could compare to the Queen of the Angel Family.
In the face of such a situation, the married Ponte didn't want Wei Duoliya to sacrifice so much for him. After careful consideration, he rejected her. But what he didn't expect was that Wei Duoliya's feelings weren't just temporary, but long-term love.
That's right. The Queen of Wei Duoliya started a war of attrition. After she adopted Vader's son to shut the mouths of the ministers who were complaining about the lack of a successor, Wei Duoliya began to wait for Ponte. This lasted for more than twenty years, and Ponte's wife died of exhaustion.
Ponte's nominal wife wasn't an Extraordinary. Strictly speaking, she was a victim of a traditional marriage. After giving birth, she separated from him and passed away due to illness in her forties. At that time, Ponte was already in his fifties, and Wei Duoliya was nearing his forties. Although they looked very old, it was still considered the golden age for marriage for Extraordinary.
"So they were together in the end? Wait a minute, but Wei Duoliya only ruled for more than forty years. In the end, she also passed away due to illness. That means they were together for ten years? "
