Chapter 171

"Descendants of the Hero …"

Shien was speechless.

Although he had guessed that Tierre and Alidia had a certain level of relationship, not even Shien would have thought that the Elbeck Family was also a descendant of the Hero, and Tierre was one of them.

Even though the Hero of the Elbeck Family wasn't the one who defeated the Demon King, whether it was in terms of strength or the legends he left behind, he was still the Hero. He was the pinnacle of the human race, and no matter how weak he was, he wouldn't be inferior to the Three Goddesses or the Six Great Demons.

That was why the ancestors of the Elbeck Family became the strongest companions of Hero Mithra, and it was only natural that the head of the Elbeck Family would become the leader of the Knight Squad.

After all, in the beginning, the Knight Squad was formed by the companions of Hero Mithra.

The reason why Tierre's talent was second only to Rosie's was obvious.

It was because Tierre also had the blood of the Hero flowing in her body.

But if that was the case, didn't it mean that …

"That annoying leader of the Knight Squad is your father?"

Shien frowned.

In response, Tierre spoke out as well.

"I agree with the first part. I also don't like him, but I don't agree with the second part." Tierre's voice was extremely cold. "I don't want to recognize that kind of person as my father. That kind of person who doesn't shed any tears and only cares about the kingdom or the safety of the royal bloodline doesn't deserve to be anyone's father."

Obviously, Tierre had a huge misunderstanding with Alidia.

The problem was …

"If you are a member of the Elbeck Family, then the blood that flows in your body is the glorious Hero's blood. Why did that third-rate noble young master in the graveyard say that you have the blood of a sinner?"

Shien's brows furrowed even deeper.

"…"

This time, Tierre was speechless.

"Ah …"

Shien also realized that he had asked something he shouldn't have.

This should be the biggest secret in Tierre's heart, or a secret that she couldn't bear to think about.

Right then, Shien wanted to apologize.

But he was one step too late.

"… I do have the blood of a sinner in my body." "Because my mother committed an unforgivable crime," Tiyerre said in a voice that sounded as if she was sleep-talking.

Saying this, Tierre stood up from the bathtub, exposing her naked body to Shien.

Sean, who had intended to say something, was suddenly at a loss for words. He almost stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

Frankly speaking, Tierre's body was not plump, and she was very petite. She was about the same size as a fourteen-year-old girl.

However, Tierre's skin was very white, and the curves of her waist and legs were both slender and beautiful. She looked like a young fruit that hadn't fully ripened yet. Although it wasn't the right time to eat her, she was still very sweet and delicious.

Sean was sure that in time, Tierre would definitely not be inferior to the top beauties like Nyen and Rosie.

Thus, Tierre cut through the water, moved her slender legs, and came in front of Sean.

Shien didn't dare to move.

The scene in front of him had completely robbed him of his consciousness.

Under such circumstances, Tierre sat in front of Shien, stretched out her hand, and pressed her slender palm on his chest.

"I want to become stronger. I want to be stronger than that man."

Tierre looked straight into Shien's eyes and declared in a resolute tone that Shien had never heard before.

"Once, although the ancestor of the Elbe Family was talented, he wasn't particularly powerful. At first, he didn't have a high status in the human race. He was a descendant of the fallen Hero."

Ancestor Elbe met the hero Mithra and received Mithra's recognition.

Thanks to this, this ancestor's talent was developed. With the help of the Hero Mithra, he didn't let down the Hero's blood in his body, and he grew to become an existence second only to the Hero.

"Because of this, the Elbe Family has served the royal family for generations, and it's their duty to protect the royal family. Every generation's leader was valued by the descendants of the Hero Mithra, and after a thousand years, the Elbe Family has developed to this day."

This way, the Elbe Family had already changed.

They had transformed into a guardian family.

"Our ancestor was the Hero Protector, the protector of the world."

"The family is the protector of the royal family, the protector of the kingdom."

"Even that man is now the King's favorite, the Princess's mentor."

"Ever since then, the connection between our family and the Hero has never been broken."

Tierre finally told an important thought in her heart to Shien.

"I'm still very far away from that man, so far that I feel hopeless."

"Only after I learned that you're the Hero did I have some hope."

"Maybe I can be like our ancestor, awakening the Hero's blood in my body by following the Hero."

It was because of this reason that a cold person like Tierre would help Shien so much after knowing that he was the Hero.

The reason was that Tierre wanted to tap into her own potential through Shien.

It wasn't that she was plotting anything.

She was just grasping onto the possibility of becoming stronger blindly, as if she was grasping onto the last life-saving straw.

Of course, Tierre's thoughts were also very pure.

"I don't care why you were summoned to this world, or what's the reason behind it."

"One day, if you can fulfill my wish, I will pledge my loyalty to you."

"Just like Ancestor Albein, they will protect you generation after generation."

"Even if it's a thousand years."

This was the wish that Tierre had for Shien.

"I hope …"

Tierre muttered softly.

Shien didn't hear what she said after that.

Tierre retracted her hand and stood up again, allowing the hot water to flow down her delicate body. The water splashed and the aroma and steam assaulted Kieran's nose.

Tierre then turned around and left.

Shien finally reacted to Tierre's actions.

"Can I see your face?"

Sean didn't know why, but he said this unconsciously.

Tierre paused and touched the mask on her face.

Tierre then said.

"One day, if I show you my true appearance, that will probably be the time for me to pledge my loyalty to you."

Tierre turned around and looked at Shien.

"By then, everything I have will belong to you."

After that, Tierre didn't stay any longer and left.

Sean watched him leave in a daze. It was not until a long time later that he immersed his head in the water.

"This is so f * cking exciting …"
