Chapter 147: A bounty

"I went through all of the records and checked the present reports of the imperial lineage. There was no one named Ilian in those. I then checked those remaining descendants who might've gone their separate ways and ended up living in distant lands, but none of the records matched what we know of that person. I even checked any names resembling 'Ilian' through the children born with the holy blood."

"Uh...huh... You've done a lot... And there were still no results?"

"Nope. Actually, there was someone whose age matched that person's, and even his name somehow... Maximilian..."

Ilian and Maximilian. If one thought of those names deeply, there were resemblances. And even their ages matched perfectly. 

Felix though shrugged his shoulders. "But that child was killed about twelve years ago."

Twelve years ago... The date of that incident, the bloody massacre, the rampage of the previous king.

"So... we're back at square one?"

"Unfortunately."
