After White Fang used mana to clean up, he got into new clothes and walked to Elaine and Silva. Drake, Like, and Aris kept their distance. They had faced too much stress today, and since they had ascertained that Silva was in no trouble, they didn’t want to come close to White Fang.
“You said I reminded you of someone?” Silva asked.
“Indeed, my sister. Her name is Azreal. It’s possible that she changed her name, but you bear a striking resemblance to her.”
“I believe there’s someone like that. She is my mother, but she had always had a family. She even told me about her last family.
There’s no way that the person you are talking about is my mother,” Silva said.
“I see. So she didn’t pass it on to you, I’m guessing. You see, there’s a lot that you need to know about even humanity, and I think we need to see your mother before I get into them,” White Fang said.
Immediately, Silva became eager to hear what this was. He got up and immediately led the way to the city.
When they arrived, he made his way to the castle while asking Lily to get his mother. He wanted to know the truth of what happened now.
Silva got a seat in the lounge with Elaine, White Fang, and Aris.
They waited for a few minutes, and finally, his mother walked in with Aris. But immediately she saw White Fang seated, she turned to face the door, but Lily shut the door with immediate speed.
“It seems I brought that side out of you just by you seeing me, Azreal,” White Fang said with a smile.
“What are you doing here?” Silva’s mother asked in anger, a side of her that Silva had never seen came out.
“Silva, do you really know your mother and what she is?” White Fang turned to Silva and asked.
“Stop it! Don’t do it, Marshall. You can’t reveal the secrets; you swore the oaths as a child,” she yelled at him.
“Don’t use my real name like that, sister. You also forgot something. Silva is a demon king candidate, and that means in time he will know the truth, and he will also come to know about you.
So why not today? After all, I’m reuniting with you after over thirty or so years. I’m sure both of you are happy to see me.”
“Keep her out of this. She didn’t have anything to do with this, Marshall,” Azreal said in anger.
“Well, yeah, because you have been in control of her since birth, leading her to believe whatever you want, crafting her into any shape at any time.
She has never had a real say, just living based on your whims, Azreal. She has a son now, but she doesn’t even know her real origins because you manipulate her.
I’ve been searching for you to stop you before you did anything, but who would have known that you picked here of all places to do it?” White Fang said.

“Uhm, I feel like I am not in the loop here, and trust me, I have a very powerful mind, so please fill me in,” Silva said, looking at his mother and White Fang.
“Silva, my son, there’s nothing for you to worry about. It’s all fine. There’s no need to listen to whatever he has to say,” Azreal spoke.
Her voice seemed to have some sort of twisting effect that forced Silva to believe whatever she was saying.
But Silva had eleven minds. They easily overcame whatever was happening, and he was back to normal.
“You tried to do something to me just now. You are not my mother. Who the hell are you?” Silva asked.
“What she used on you now was her ability, reality manipulation. But before I get to that, you all should listen to this tale,” White Fang said. He glanced at his sister as she shook her head, telling him not to.
But White Fang smiled and continued.
“In the beginning of humanity, the celestials decided that they would create the first humans to the best of their abilities, putting everything they had into them.
Those humans were the ideal idea of humans. They were filled with special powers that could cause a lot of destruction, in short.
These humans were special; they were one of a kind, but they were the only ones ever created. The celestials didn’t make more of them. They wanted to, but they couldn’t.
Because at that time, the greatest war had broken out, and so the celestials had to mass-produce humans, and they did that.
They did their best to make them as good as possible to fight the war, and after that, the celestials were sealed, and so no more humans were made. Only reproduction made more.
But now, that brings us to the current question: what happened to those first humans? Well, they became the original families, the first of humanity.
Their powers were believed to be the only thing relatively close to that of heroes. And they basically ruled humanity publicly.
But soon, normal humans didn’t want this. They felt the original families were way too powerful, and so they started fighting against them.
The original families were winning this war and killing the normal humans, a testament to how strong they were. After some years of fighting, the original families decided that they didn’t want to wipe out humans.
So the best solution for them was to vanish, disappear from the public eye, and so they did, going on to control humanity from the shadows and places that no one knew.
There were ten original families, and every generation that comes, two or three heroes must come from the original families.
The original families still control everything but hidden. The Royal Family of the empire is from an original family. The pope must swear an oath to one of the original families.
Their control is what keeps humanity floating, aside from the heroes, that is,” White Fang explained, leaving more questions in Silva’s mind.
