Chapter 570 – Irene’ Shock

Reva, who heard these words, silently wiped her tears before entering the room with a soft smile, “Grandfather…. grandmother…”

Irene had a surprised look as she quickly wiped her eyes. She was too distracted to know that Reva was silently hearing her words and tried to force a smile as she tried to get up and said, ” Reva…I…”

Reva silently and quickly walked towards Irene and made her sit down gently on the bed before hugging her tightly, “Grandmother…I am sorry…I never really hated you…I was just too immature to understand things…” Reva said as she sniffled while feeling the warmth of her grandmother’s embrace, which she hadn’t felt for a very long time.

Elor softly smiled seeing the two while Irene had a look of disbelief on her face since she didn’t expect her granddaughter to talk to her again like this, let alone hug her. 

She came back to her senses as she shook her head and caressed Reva’s head, “Reva…you have every right to be angry and disappointed at me. I failed your mother and robbed you of the chance of living a normal happy life instead of having to live under the roof of that vile man for all these years. That is why sometimes I find it hard to even look at your face without getting reminded of every bad choice I made in the past. That is why I am the one who is sorry for ruining your life. You have nothing to be sorry about.”

Reva cleared her throat and leaned her head on Irene’s shoulder as she said with a soft smile, “We got played by a god, grandmother. It was not something we could have predicted or protected ourselves from. And even if fate had been cruel to us in the past, our future doesn’t seem to be filled with darkness anymore now that Yohr has died. We are finally free from his hold.”

Elor nodded and said with a pleasant smile, “Yes. I was just talking to your grandmother about how we finally have the hope to regain our freedom and empire despite the losses we suffered. It is all thanks to my grandson-in-law. I am really proud of you, Reva. You fell in love with the best man in the world,” Elor had a proud glint in his eyes as he said these words.

“Grandfather…” Reva mumbled with a slight redness in her cheeks since Elor was really putting her on the spot, especially with her grandmother here 

Irene narrowed her eyes as she asked, “He already became your grandson-in-law without even marrying my granddaughter? It seems like you have become very fond of this young man.”

Reva’s expression became a bit nervous, wondering if her grandmother didn’t approve of him since if that was true, then things would become very complicated, especially after what happened last night. Just thinking about it was enough to make her face hot.

Elor shrugged and said, “Why not? He and Reva are not only in love with each other, but he even saved your life using the very precious Rank 8 healing pill you gave him for joining the Forsaken. Nobody in their right mind would give away such a powerful pill to someone else easily. I have seen with my own eyes how much he cares about our granddaughter.”

“Grandmother…you don’t like him?” Reva asked in a worried tone 

Irene immediately shook her head as she caressed Reva’s face, “Of course not, dear. I actually only have a good opinion of him, especially since he risked his life to fight with us and even save me from right under Ruthren’s nose.”

Reva’s expression relaxed hearing her words.

However, Irene continued, “But…we actually know nothing about his true background or about his family. That is the only thing that concerns me and something I want you both to be careful about before things get more serious between you two.”

“That boy is an orphan. How do you expect him to know about his real family?” Elor asked with a slight shake of his head.

“I know. But his talents and abilities surely don’t belong to our tiny continent. What if his true origins are from the outside world? Even his ethereal beast isn’t exactly ordinary but makes us question our knowledge of ethereal beasts. Have you ever thought about that? What if his real family suddenly seeks him out? This is why I feel a bit worried, especially since…” Irene looked at Reva and continued, “…our granddaughter is involved with him…”

Reva felt a bit guilty seeing her grandmother being so concerned about this matter for her.

Her lips parted to say something but then closed as she hesitated.

Irene saw that Reva seemed to have something to say and asked, “Dear, what is it? You can tell your grandmother anything.”

“Can you promise not to be…angry?” Reva timidly asked, making not only Irene but even Elor puzzled, wondering how their perfect and beautiful granddaughter could possibly make them angry.

Reva took a deep breath, and after a few moments of hesitation, she finally said with an embarrassed expression, “I…I gave myself to him already…”

“You what…” Irene’s eyes became round like saucers as she looked at her granddaughter and then immediately used her powerful senses to scan Reva’s body, only to become even more shocked.

Elor had a blinking expression before letting out a hearty chuckle, “Haa…youngsters these days are so passionate. I wish I could go back to those times. What do you say, Irene?”

Elor didn’t seem that concerned by this, much to Irene’s surprise.

Irene glanced at the two with a look of incredulity before letting out a helpless sigh, “Ha…Reva…I didn’t realize you already loved him this much to the point that you wanted to give away your purity without even marrying him.”

Damien, who was hovering right above the house, had a wry smile as he heard their discussion, ‘Damn….Am I gonna get in trouble with her?’
