“When the emperor found out that your mother was in love with someone else, he ordered to kill her,” Grandfather said with a sad and angry expression. I could feel the turbulent emotions hidden in his voice.
However, I continued to hear without cutting it.
"Of course, the emperor never admitted it, but it was an open secret. Even your mother knows about it."
"Then, after he killed your mother's lover, he*Silna's sin. Dina was born from that day."
After grandfather said that, the entire room fell silent.
So, that's what happened yes.
"Your mother hasn't been happy since that day. I know he wants to die, but because he wants to protect the child in his womb and he's afraid that the emperor will retaliate against our family if he dies, he agrees to marry her"
"The emperor's obsession only became stronger after that day. No one knows why he is so obsessed. After all, even though your mother is beautiful, there are many other women who are more beautiful and with a status greater than her. In the end, she was only the daughter of a small noble family.
"But the emperor's obsession with your mother only caused him more trouble.The empress at that time was jealous and hated your mother deeply. He wanted nothing more than to see your mother die. So, he made a plan.
"At that time, your mother was already pregnant with you, Claus. Taking advantage of that, the empress began to feed the emperor with suspicions about your mother. Since Dina did not inherit the hair or eyes of the imperial family, the empress began to insinuate that she was not actually the emperor's daughter and that the child who was in Silna's womb did not belong to her either.
"Of course, the emperor did not believe him, but as time went on, he became increasingly suspicious. Because your mother never loved the emperor, and under the queen's repeated lies, the emperor's behavior took a turn for the worse. He began to scold and persecute your mother. Sometimes, he even hit her! Therefore, your mother became increasingly weak and thin. He even fell seriously ill! If it wasn't for her wanting to give birth to you, she would have died sooner.
"But as soon as you were born, he ended up dead .. Did you know? On the day he died, he looked so relieved!
"As for you, you inherited the blue hair of the emperor .. Hahaha! The emperor's suspicion caused Silna's death, but in the end, your birth cleared her name!"
Grandpa's eyes are reddened. His voice was full of hatred. He hated the emperor who killed and made his daughter suffer. Unfortunately, he was powerless to do anything.
"Do you know why the emperor hates you so much? That's because you reminded him of Silna's death! You remind him that he caused the death of the person he loved the most! Actually, if not for you being the son of Silna, he would have killed you long ago! "
I clenched my hands silently. To think that truth is something like that.
I think the reason the emperor hated me was because he believed I was the cause of mother's death! But now, the reason is completely different!
The reason he hates me is because I reminded him that he killed mom!
Actually, my feelings for my mother in this life were practically zero. I had never met her, and I had many mothers for hundreds of my life. For me, his death was no different from the death of a stranger.
But in the end, it was she who gave birth to me in this life.
I can't just ignore it now that I know about the reason for his death.
Grandfather looked at me with a distorted face. He grabbed my arm and continued talking.
"Now that you know the truth, you must avenge your mother! Claus, we're useless. Even after knowing how much Silna suffered, we can't do anything to avenge her. But you, you are different! You are smart and talented ! Your business has grown through the empire, and your achievements facing someone two layers higher than you for the same reason have spread among the nobles! you should— "
"Dad, stop!" Aunt Sera stopped my grandfather abruptly. "What are you doing ?! How could you burden Claus so heavily ?! Don't you know about his current situation ?!" aunt said.
Grandfather immediately fell silent. His expression changed between hatred, hope, and helplessness, and finally, he sighed sadly.
"You're right, forget what I said earlier …"
"No, grandpa. I won't forget. I promise to avenge my mother."
Instantly, both Aunt Sera and Grandpa looked at me.
"Claus, don't be in a hurry! You can't do anything now!"
“Do not worry, aunt, I know.” I smiled to convince her. "In addition, I said I had a plan, right? I guarantee the emperor will pay for what he did."
Aunt Sera looked at me with a complicated expression, but in the end, she sighed.
At that moment, grandma entered the room followed by a waiter and brought lunch. We secretly agreed to stop talking about mom and start eating.
Meanwhile, I modified my plan in my mind.
My revenge against the emperor will be bloody and cruel.
